Son of Celluloid

    (Eclipse, 1991)
™ and ©1991 Clive Barker, Steve Niles, and Les Edwards

Similar in tone and artwork to the Tapping the Vein series of Eclipse books graphic novels, “Son of Celluloid” adapts the Clive Barker short story with fantasy artists Les Edwards and Steve Niles. Fans of Weaveworld, The Damnation Game and Cabal or the Hellraiser and Nightbreed films will appreciate this vision of the prolific and popular horror authors work.

We all love movies, but what happens if movies begin to love us back? When an escaped convict bleeds to death in a cinema basement, his cancerous tumor refuses to give up. The theatre itself has soaked up the adoring, potent gazes of audiences for years, creating a power of its own: the power of and for desire. Helpless alone, the potent compulsion and the rapidly growing tissue together become something grotesque and dangerous to the theatre audience.
