If you want to have a chance of seeing the film adaptation of Clive Barker’s Midnight Meat Train you’ll probably be out of luck. According to Bloody-Disgusting.com the movie is getting an extremely limited release, only at second-run theaters, exclusively west of the Mississippi. Not a single East Coast showing. And Mr. Barker is not too happy with the film distributor Lionsgate. So he’s asking fans to speak up and let Lionsgate know they’re screwing up:

From Clive Himself:

If you wish to see MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN in all its big screen glory at a THEATER near you, please do the following:

Cut and paste the message at the bottom of this post and e-mail it to:

1) investor relations at Lionsgate: keasterling@lionsgate.com

2) Lionsgate: general-inquiries@lionsgate.com

3) call Lionsgate at (310) 449-9200 and express your desire to see MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN get the release it deserves.

BE POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL! We do not want to piss them off, just want them to know how many fans out there would like to shell out their hard earned cash to see the most groundbreaking horror film of the past ten years in a real movie theater!

HERE’S A SAMPLE MESSAGE FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE (or feel free to compose your own):

Dear Lionsgate,

As a long time Clive Barker fan, I am writing you to express my strong desire to see “The Midnight Meat Train” on the big screen.

Rumors are currently circulating that the film will only be released on a limited basis and I am very concerned that I will miss my opportunity to see the most highly anticipated Clive Barker film in over a decade in all of its big screen glory!

There are millions of horror fans like myself who have been disappointed by the recent trend towards watered down PG-13 horror movies. Clive’s work represents a return to serious, thought provoking horror movies and with Ryuhei Kitamura at the helm, I am even more excited to experience this collaboration, as it was intended: in a packed theater with hundreds of other horror fans like myself!

I urge you to please give this film the release it deserves!

Many thanks,
YOUR NAME

Clive Barker Clive Barker is well known as a filmmaker and author but he is also a very accomplished artist. And it is a rare treat when his work is displayed in a public setting, let alone on the East Coast. So we’re pretty damned excited to hear that his work will be on exhibit at Sloan Fine Art in New York City. The exhibit will run from April 17th to May 10th, with the opening reception on Wednesday, April 16, 7 to 9 pm.

During the exhibition, conceptual drawings for Barker’s upcoming film The Midnight Meat Train will be on display in the project room. These works are a rare glimpse at the artist’s process and the birth of many of the ideas and characters included in the finished film.

News has it though that Barker will not be attending the opening, but that really shouldn’t stop you form making the trip to see his amazing pieces of art if you live near New York City.
