Actor/director Nicholas Vince is one of the UK’s shining beacons in the queer horror scene, 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, his superb movie adaptation, had its World premiere at FrightFest in 2023.
Synopsis:
I AM MONSTERS! charts Vince’s life from a monster-obsessed child, born undershot, through to an out of the closet actor, propelled to fame by Clive Barker’s ground-breaking films. He speaks openly about being a bullied outsider, the life-threatening operation to reconstruct his face, his battle with being gay in Thatcher’s Britain and reveals what it takes to be a Monster.
Nick commented: “I’m overjoyed to be finally sharing I Am Monsters! on Blu Ray and hope people will enjoy this exploration of the journey which led to the creation of the Chatterer Cenobite, and other monsters on film, in comics and short stories. It’s been a long road from the original one man show, presented as part of the London Horror Festival in 2019. Researching and writing the film led me to discoveries about some major surgery, tell more behind the scenes stories from Hellraiser, Hellbound and Nightbreed and share my fascination with monsters”.
