In the film version of his one man show, Nicholas Vince talks about the experience which led to the creation of the Chatterer in Hellraiser, stories from the set and the times he truly was a monster.
RELEASE DATE: 2024 | RUNTIME: 72MIN | DIRECTOR: NICHOLAS VINCE
One of the UK's shining beacons in the queer horror scene is actor/director Nicholas Vince. Most well known for his debut role as the Chatterer in Clive Barker's HELLRAISER and Kinski (Moon Face) in the cult shocker NIGHTBREED, Vince took to the stage in 2019 with his autobiographical one-man-show ‘I Am Monsters!’
Both a resoundingly nostalgic and relatable tale of growing up in love with horror and an essential discourse on the turmoil of 'growing up gay' under draconian Thatcherian rule where the closet was always safest, this is the superb movie adaptation.
Clive Barker wrote of I Am Monsters!, "Nick charms and chills us, mingling the witty and the nightmarish, the man who laughs behind the mask. He has such tales to tell."
