so how many of you like Clive Barker?

well he has a new show on the sci-fi channel based off of his short lived comic book series under the name of Saintsinner fortunatly it looks like it is not going off the comic book *which since i am a comic geek, it was not all that bad* but more along the lines of witchblade in the way the story is darker than most tv shows ......

so i am waiting patiently for the series premire on Oct 25

here is the plot so far from sci-fi channel:

Clive Barker Presents
SAINT SINNER

STORY


Saint Sinner begins in a secluded monastery at the northernmost reaches of the California Mission chain in 1815. Brother Tomas, a handsome novice monk, enjoys a quiet life at the very edge of civilization. His idyllic existence changes with the ominous arrival of Father Michael, a distinguished emissary sent by Pope Pius VII. Although Rome officially broke ties with Tomas' Order years earlier, the Holy See privately recognizes that the Order's ongoing mission is vital: it serves as the secret repository for all evil and unnatural objects collected by the Church, which places the accursed items there for safekeeping.

This time, Father Michael has traveled far to deliver yet another extremely dangerous parcel into the Order's care: a small, ancient statue depicting two beautiful women. Father Michael warns Tomas that the women are imprisoned demons who were trapped by Saint Nicodemus of Alexandria in 1260. Even handling the object is forbidden, Michael cautions the young novice, because the demons' escape would lead to unspeakable perversions and devastation.

Father Michael hands over the demonic relic to the monastery's Abbot, who consigns it to the underground repository, a huge room crowded with the evil artifacts accumulated by the Church throughout the centuries. Dominating the chamber is the great Wheel of Time. Carved of dark, gleaming bronze and adorned with elaborate arcane etchings, the Wheel was created by a monk of Tomas' own Order who desired to travel in time to the most significant moments in Christianity's history.

That same night, Tomas and his friend, Brother Gregory, sneak back into the dark repository to get a better glimpse at the alluring, new "forbidden" relic. Unwittingly, they unleash its captive demons. After centuries of imprisonment, evil is let loose upon the world to wreak deadly havoc. In a bloody rampage, the seductive creatures feed on the life essence of Brother Gregory, then flee to the future using the Wheel of Time.

Brother Tomas is given the chance to redeem himself by pursuing the creatures and quelling the nightmare he has unleashed. He follows them through the Wheel into the 21st century. And though feeling overwhelmed by the modern world, Tomas tracks down the two demons to present-day Seattle — where they inflict unimaginable horrors on hapless victims.

Although the police arrest Tomas as a suspect in the first of the murders committed by the demons, Tomas finally convinces Rachel Dressler, a no-nonsense police detective, that he holds the key to stopping the gruesome rampage. In due course, Tomas struggles to awaken extraordinary mystical powers within himself as he teams up with Det. Dressler to track down the beautiful-but-deadly demons and put an end to their carnage.

I remember seeing ads for the comic (or, rather a comic SaintSinner was in--him and a few other supers) but never the comic itself... I always wondered what the story was in them... ::shrug::
