0:03
all right uh night of the zpocalypse one
0:05
thing you'll notice from the mind of
0:07
clyve Barker yes clyve Barker has
0:10
entered the kids space and this is legit
0:12
he wrote he wrote a short story that
0:14
this based on he's also an executive
0:16
producer of night of Apocalypse he's the
0:17
one who who uh decided hey I want to
0:20
make a kids horror film and that's what
0:21
he does here um so basically this the
0:25
story is is that an alien goo lands in a
0:28
zoo uh and begins transforming the
0:31
animals into zombies and the only ones
0:34
who uh who are trying to fight the alien
0:37
invasion is a quirky Timberwolf called
0:40
Gracie and played by Gabby cosmus and a
0:44
Gruff mountain lion played by David
0:46
Harbor uh also in the movie of Scott
0:49
Thompson uh this is so to say this is a
0:52
kids horror film is is true I I'll just
0:57
say that at the beginning of the movie
0:58
it just felt like a typical kids horror
1:01
film you know it's just uh you know you
1:03
have ugly ugly cute animals trying to
1:07
kill each other um but what I like about
1:09
it is as the movie starts to pick up
1:12
pace and as we add more characters to
1:14
this this becomes a kid zombie movie and
1:16
it deals with zombie themes such as um
1:20
will you sacrifice your friend in order
1:22
to save your own life um then there are
1:24
discussions of value uh who who has the
1:27
most value in the group you know
1:29
therefore you know the ones who can
1:31
protect us are the ones that we are
1:32
going to try to help survive uh and then
1:34
we can sacrifice the weaker ones uh
1:37
these are themes that are kind of
1:38
explored in this but it told in a very
1:40
kids way um I do you know I think this
1:44
is a good entry point for kids if you
1:46
want to get them into into horror
1:48
there's very much zombie horror very
1:49
much alien uh horror um and it's about
1:53
friendship it's about loyalty and uh so
1:55
it's got a good positive message uh to
1:58
to kind of be its it's foundation and uh
2:01
yeah Clyde Barker I mean you know I
2:03
guess he's he's wanting to broaden his
2:06
fan base a bit so yeah definitely
2:08
recommend for night of the Apocalypse I
2:11
I do interview the two directors of the
2:13
film uh on the film thread interview
2:15
Channel also interview Scott Thompson
2:18
and that is a interview you'll love
2:20
because it just goes off the rails uh
2:22
it's like I'm not even in the room when
2:25
talking oh you're you're kids kids can
2:28
kids can handle horror I do want to put
2:30
a little spin on this I have been a fan
2:32
of clyve Barker for year years his books
2:36
uh uh collections of short stories books
2:39
of blood I love when I was a kid when I
2:42
say kid teenager um and I was a fan um I
2:46
put Clive on the cover of an old issue
2:49
of film threat um he is not in good
2:52

2:54
convention appearance just play a a
2:57

3:21
I'm gonna start with let's see sorry I
3:23
was it I just got these uh what inspired
3:27
you to write Hellraiser and
3:30
man two different things H let's start
3:34
withy man my grandmother was Irish she
3:39
lived to be a h one she
3:45
things and she loves stories of murder
3:48
and bloodshed she told them to me at the
3:54
five one of the stories she told which
3:58
that me True by the way was it in my
4:00
native Liverpool which is where I come
4:03
from a little boy gone into
4:08
a public Clary and had been assaulted
4:16
mutated which story appears in
4:19
chman so I suppose I I have to play my
4:25
grandmother she actually told me lots of
4:27
stories over over her
4:30
long life and she had what I think is in
4:36
me just as a Instinct wishes to take
4:43
dark and I know I share with you guys
4:47
otherwise you would all be
4:49
here by white by the way
4:53
um Hellraiser thing Hellraiser uh do to
4:59
my experiences SN clubs and uh and New
5:12
28 which was uh just about anything any
5:16
human being could do to another human
5:18
being was available there and it was a
5:22
not not really some kid-friendly stuff
5:24
he's talking about there but uh we'll
5:26
leave it at that I'll put the link in
5:30
um but that's cly bark he's currently 72
5:33
he's in poor health but that was his
5:35
last convention experience and um he was
5:39
always he was he would write letters to
5:42
film threats he read the magazine oh wow
5:45
yeah and I got to know him over the
5:47
years so it's sad to see him in such
5:49
poor health um but one last comment
5:52
about night Z apocalypse uh kids can
5:54
handle horror uh even Walt Disney put
5:56
Horror in Snow White Pinocchio and his
6:00
so we underestimate what children can
