Breed Classifications

[darkglobe]

So we have a big ol' lot of Nightbreed creatures and monsters... but do some/most/any of them have connections to the worlds of myth, folklore, legend?

I'll start by guessing that Rachel is some kind of vampire, in the traditional sense. A spirit of the dead who leeches energy from the living...

I always guessed that Narcisse is a sort of zombie or undead ghoul.

I think that most of the 'Breed in the film are original creations, sprung from Clive Barker's incomparable imagination. In the story it says something to the effect that all of the worlds' monsters are there. I wonder if he stayed away from showing as many of the common types of creatures as he did to avoid the preconceptions that audiences would automatically have about them?
