Barker Brings Blood to Big
Screen
Clive Barker, everyone’s favorite gothic gay ghoul, is back
with more tales of terror. The film version of one of his stories
– with the gruesome (or pornographically suggestive) title
Midnight Meat Train – is coming soon a theater near you. And
in the works is a series of films based on Barker’s Books of
Blood story collections. The first film will be adapted from the
initial story of book one, which centers on a paranormal investigator
who, while looking for clues to a murder, finds instead the
intersection of various paths that souls take in the afterlife. The
film will star Sophie Ward (Young Sherlock Holmes) and Jonas Armstrong
(the U.K. TV series Robin Hood). With a built-in cult fan base for the
popular ‘80s collections, expect a franchise to grow in this
graveyard.
