In 2009, Mark Miller, co-head of Barker's production company, Seraphim Films, helped track down the missing footage that was cut out of the director's cut of Nightbreed. Miller discovered, after talking to a production executive at the studio, that the footage was never actually lost but readily accessible. When asked, a studio executive said that there was not a big enough audience to warrant the studio spending money on a new, extended cut of the film. A VHS copy of Barker's 145 minute version of the film's mid-1989 workprint was recently discovered. It does not feature any of the re-shoots of Decker's murders. An extended 159-minute cut version, from another VHS found in July 2009, was premiered on March 27, 2010 as part of the HorrorHound Weekend in Indianapolis.[55] This new version adds almost a whole hour that was cut from the theatrical release, including a musical score and more animation. In an interview, Barker said that he hopes to bring back Danny Elfman "and give us just a little bit of extra music for it."
In early 2012, Russell Cherrington, a senior lecturer in film and video production at the University of Derby, created a composite cut of the film using the footage found on both VHS tapes as well as the Warner Bros DVD. This version is the most complete version of Barker's film available and has been dubbed The Cabal Cut. The cut runs 155 minutes long and was shown at this year's "Mad Monster Party" in North Carolina with actors Craig Sheffer and Anne Bobby attending.
[edit]Occupy Midian
The "Mad Monster Party" projection of the Cabal Cut led to a renewal of interest among fans, especially on the Internet.A new petition was created and social networks were used to raise awareness for the extended cut and to encourage producers to release it. This would be colloquially known as "Occupy Midian", a term coined by actress Anne Bobby.
Thanks to the continued efforts of raising awareness of the Cabal Cut, in the summer of 2012, Occupy Midian was finaly able to garner the support of Morgan Creek, but it came with a price. They would release the "lost" footage for a Special Uncut Blu-ray Edition, if the money to fund the production of it was raised without them having to dig into their own pockets. Each screening of the Cabal Cut now donates all proceeds to this blu-ray fund

Because I've had way too many bad experiences with long movies, and compared to the ~90min movies, it's too much time I could spend doing something I enjoy.
