“Nightbreed” (ミディアン), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1990, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O685

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1990 for the first Japanese theatrical release of Nightbreed (ミディアン)—Clive Barker’s cult horror-fantasy from the creator of Hellraiser. Directed by Barker and anchored by a striking “monsters-in-the-dark” mythology, Nightbreed has become one of the most distinctive studio horror films of its era—part creature-feature, part tragic fairy tale.

Film background
Nightbreed (1990) is a dark fantasy / horror film written and directed by Clive Barker, adapted from his novel Cabal. It stars Craig Sheffer as Boone, with Anne Bobby, David Cronenberg, Charles Haid, Hugh Quarshie, and genre icon Doug Bradley in the supporting cast. The story follows Boone’s descent into Midian—an underground refuge for outcasts and “monsters”—as he becomes caught between human violence and the hidden world’s desperate fight to survive.

Poster design
A dramatic, high-contrast composition that sells the film’s core hook instantly: storm-lit skies and a forbidding landscape above, a sea of skull-like faces below, and a central mother-and-child silhouette that gives the sheet its eerie, mythic tone. The title 「ミディアン」 appears in a cracked, flame-like treatment, with the English NIGHTBREED lock-up above—an unforgettable early-’90s horror design that feels closer to apocalyptic fantasy than standard slasher marketing.
