SHV - S18E02 - Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (1968)
We got good news & we got bad news. The bad news is that due to a file issue, we have lost our episode for Dracula - Prince Of Darkness. The good news is we still have a new episode for you with 1968's Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. (We'll add an extra episode at the end of the season to make up for technology robbing us). Plus musical guest Necronemesis appears courtesy of Horror Pain Gore Death productions. (HorrorPainGoreDeath.com)

We are back from the dead just like the Prince of Darkness himself. SHV returns for it's landmark 18th season. This time we're looking at England's most notorious bloodsuckers. Not the Monarchy, silly....The Vampires Of Hammer. We kick things off with the granddaddy of them all (at Hammer anyway), 1958's The Horror Of Dracula. The first time we saw Lee & Cushing playing the roles of Dracula & Van Helsing. Plus musical guest NECRONEMESIS appears courtesy of Horror Pain Gore Death Productions. (horrorpaingoredeath.com )

SHV - S16E01 - The Black Cat (1934)
Season 16 of Seeking Human Victims is here and we're turning up the heat in 2023 with a season about some of the greatest Satanic horror films of all time, entitled "The Devil Made Me Do it"
Episode 1 kicks things off with quite possibly the first talkie to deal with satanic themes, a true super bowl of horror villains starring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in one of the non-IP Universal horror films of the pre code era and quite possibly one of the best of the best of the whole catalog, 1934's The Black Cat. .

SHV - S05E01 - Dracula (1931)
Our journey into the world of horror history and Universal Horror continues full steam ahead with the first full length episode about one of the most iconic fictional characters of all time, Dracula and the 1931 film starring Bela Lugosi. On this episode we'll learn how original author Bram Stoker didn't see the success of his novel during his lifetime, and how his widow sued the creators of Nosferatu for using the story without permission and how that all leads to Carl Laemmle Jr sweeping in to make the first legally authorized version of the story.
We'll learn about how Bela Lugosi was NOT the studio's first choice to play the role despite his success playing the character on Broadway, the fascinating tale of director and silent film legend Tod Browning and the rumors around what his level of contribution actually was, the tragic tale of Bela Lugosi and so much more. Dan has gone over hours of material to compile the discussion topics for this season and we're confident Universal Monsters will be our crowning achievement. Tell your friends!!!
