[67] [68] The Cabal Cut [ edit ] Barker always loved monsters and felt that "there's a corner of all of us that envies their powers and would love to live forever, or to fly, or to change shape at will. So, when I came to make a movie about monsters, I wanted to create a world we'd feel strangely at home in". [15] He was interested in creating a "horror mythology from the ground up" and developing characters that would live on in sequels. [16] As he finished writing the novella Cabal, he realized that it would make a good film that he would direct himself. [17] He originally envisioned a trilogy of films. [18] [19] Mark Frost wrote the initial draft of the screenplay for Barker.

Chet Williamson has the voice of an old time radio dramatist, and it ends up serving this story well. Initially, I wasn't sure if his square-jawed voice was the right one for this book. But Williamson's steady, no frills reading won me over in the end, providing a nice foil between the monsters and the monstrous. That wasn't really present in the book, and I felt that this was the perfect time to examine that. Certain mythological elements have increased, such as the fact that Boone is now revealed as the seventh saviour come to save Midian, as opposed to just being a guy who happens along. He is someone who has been prophesied - and finally he gets to save the tribe - and I love the chance to increase the mythological resonances..." Gronli, Jonathan.

London: Greenwood Press, 1996, ISBN 0313297169. Barker has a keen interest in movie production, although his films have received mixed receptions. He wrote the screenplays for Underworld (aka Transmutations – 1985) and Rawhead Rex (1986), both directed by George Pavlou. Displeased by how his material was handled, he moved to directing with Hellraiser (1987), based on his novella The Hellbound Heart. His early movies, the shorts The Forbidden and Salome, are experimental art movies with surrealist elements, which have been re-released together to moderate critical acclaim. After his film Nightbreed (Cabal), which was widely considered to be a flop, Barker returned to write and direct Lord of Illusions. Barker was an executive producer of the film Gods and Monsters, which received major critical acclaim.

He served as an executive producer for the 1998 film Gods and Monsters, [23] [24] a semi-fictional tale of Frankenstein director James Whale's later years, which won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. [25] Barker said of his interest in the project: "Whale was gay, I'm gay; Whale was English, I'm English…Whale made some horror movies, and I've made some horror movies. It seemed as if I should be helping to tell this story." [26] Barker also provided the foreword on the published shooting script. Barker's involvement in live theatre began while still in school with productions of Voodoo and Inferno in 1967. He collaborated on six plays with Theatre of the Imagination in 1974 and two more that he was the sole writer of, A Clowns' Sodom and Day of the Dog, for The Mute Pantomime Theatre in 1976 and 1977. [8] Midian itself, originally pin-pointed in the novel as the deserted mining town, then as the cemetery beside the town, is finally revealed as the labyrinth beneath the cemetery. Even there, the concept of Midian itself in the author's mind is fluid, "Midian is a place of the imagination," he agrees, "It's a place of dreams as much as it's a place of nightmares. Everyone thinks of me as exploring this terrifically grim material, but that's just a matter of definition, isn't it? It's the imaginative that's always fascinated me, not just the dark imaginative. Monstrousness,' if the word is being defined as a kind of moral negative, can reside in things as human as you and I. And great good-heartedness and the capability of full love and loyalty and devotion can reside in things that don't resemble us at all - as, for instance, they reside in our dogs. In other words, don't hate everything strange, because one day you might find it in yourself... Linking with the novella's roughly bookended vow of "I'll never leave you," promised by both Boone and Lori, Clive considers making these the opening words of the movie as he looks for the best way to give his lovers context. Using the Calgary skyline as a start point he first suggests an 'E.T. shot' where Boone, 'stops on a hill-road; looks down on the city.' The next version uses the skyline but brings the camera into the city, into Boone and Lori's apartment, giving us startling flashes of Boone's surreal hallucinations. Hoping instead for a visual motif that might better grow from the title sequence's creatures, Clive considers an exotic bird - maybe animals frozen in time in a photography exhibition - writing short sequences for Lori and Boone in Calgary Zoo, but he ultimately settles on a light to burn away the darkness of the night sky:His relationship with John Gregson lasted from 1975 until 1986. He later spent 13 years with photographer David Armstrong, described as his husband in the introduction to Coldheart Canyon; they separated in 2009. Barker's paintings and illustrations have been shown in galleries in the United States, and have appeared in his books. He has also created characters and series for comic books, and some of his more popular horror stories have been featured in ongoing comics series. Monson, Leigh (April 16, 2019).
