YMMV / Clive Barker's Night Breed

Go To

  • Complete Monster:
    • Epic Comics:
      • Captain Eigerman survives the events of Midian's destruction and becomes even worse. His first attempt to destroy Midian and the Night Breed going up in flames, Eigerman teams up with the insane Reverend Ashberry for a second chance at genocide. Along the way, Eigerman kills another cop for his car; shoots a man at a diner in the mouth for trying to talk about the Night Breed to the press; and kills an EMS officer for vaguely disagreeing with Eigerman's supremacist rhetoric.
      • Rawhead Rex himself is resurrected years after the events of his original story, powered by a screaming infant he keeps stewing alive within his gut. Rawhead gets up to old habits not long after being resurrected, turning his appetites toward a diner full of innocent people and the Nightbreed. Flashbacks establish that Rawhead used to gang-rape human women alongside his monstrous brethren and then leave them back in civilization, where he made a game of watching the resultant spawn tear out of the women and subsequently be butchered by horrified onlookers seconds after their birth.
      • Ozymandias, one of the first Nightbreed, was the emissary of the pagan god Baphomet who came to uplift the persecuted Nightbreed 6,000 years ago. Ozymandias became disillusioned with Baphomet's apathy toward his people, and slowly began to steer the Nightbreed toward corruption and decadence for the sake of his own egotism instead. Under Ozymandias's rule, the Nightbreed's civilization degenerated into a human-sacrificing Wretched Hive so horrifying Baphomet finally stepped in to personally wipe everyone out. Ozymandias refused to even save his own mother from being flung to her death in the catastrophe. In the modern day, Ozymandias possesses Baphomet in a moment of weakness and tries to resurrect the old days of slaughter and sacrifice, gleefully raping one of the Nightbreed the moment he has Baphomet's body under his control and later rallying a mob of Nightbreed to slaughter the nearest human town to the last person.
    • Boom! Studios: Reverend Ashberry turns out to be far darker than his portrayal in the film, even in light of his abrupt turn to evil. While initially sympathetic to the Nightbreed and their persecution, he develops a genocidal hatred for them when their god Baphomet scars him when he tried to reach out to the latter. In his secret past, Ashberry first murdered a hippie girl during a sexual encounter. Coming to the conclusion that it was God's will for him to cast sinners into Hell, Ashberry started a decades-long career in killing perceived sinners, mostly male and female prostitutes and the like. Arrested as a despondent drunk shortly before the film, after his scarring Ashberry started his new crusade by rounding up Berserkers to carry out his vengeance, disemboweling Boone and attempting to kill his pregnant girlfriend Lori. Failing to kill either of them, Ashberry returns in an attempt to wipe out the breed and their new home via suicide bombing them, with children in the vicinity.
