80's horor film title?

Drawing a blank and my google searches are getting me no where.

80's campy horror film. Guy finds a gateway in a cemetery to an underworld of bizarre monsters - one is like a porcupine with the spines and all. The guy is seeing a therapist and through the course of the movie we discover that the therapist is some sort of killer trying to earn his way into this underworld. It's very cheesy but fabulous - a bit of a cult film. I distinctly remember a scene with a guy who had these creepy thumb blades with which he cut his face off. Lovely, right?

I know as soon as I see the title I'm going to kick myself. It's been driving me nuts for 4 days. Many thanks in advance!

Update:

Nightbreed!!!! Oh thank you so much! Love that movie and adding it to my Netflix as we speak. You all rock.

    ...that's writer/director Clive Barker's very eclectic and surreal 1990 horror/dark fantasy/thriller, "Nightbreed"

    ...here, I've attached a real good clip from the film!!!

    Nightbreed made in 1990. You can go on over to amazon at this link and take a look at it and see if it's the one you're thinking about.

    the only movie I can think of when someone finds something like that is called "The Gate" (I believe) Although I think it is about a kid.
