SHV - S09E07 - Lord Of Illusions (1995)

 "Flesh is a trap...and magic sets you free". Join us this week on Seeking Human Victims as we discuss the final directorial effort from Clive Barker (at least as of 2021), the genre bending, Scott Backula starring dark fantasy supernatural horror crime noir extravaganza known as LORD OF ILLUSIONS (1995) . We'll look at the introduction of the character Harry D'amour who became a recurring lead throughout Barker's books, a fascinating examination of the art of illusionists through death and resurrection, Famke Jensen in one of her best roles.. and of course all the crusty magical cult leader goodness. 

SHV - S09E05 - Nightbreed (1990)

 This week we're looking at one of the most fascinating release, footage finding, remastering and re-release stories in horror history, Clive Barker's 1990 fantasy-horror epic, NIGHTBREED. Join us in our journey to Midian, the secret underground society where the monsters of the world have sought refuge from the horrors of man in one of the most ambitious and creative horror films of its time, or any time. We'll examine Barker's hopes that it would become the Star Wars of horror and the steps he took to make that a reality. We'll discuss Barker's continuing frustration with Hollywood completely failing to understand his concepts and how it took 24 years for Barker's true vision of the film to finally be released. All that and so much more!

SHV - S09E04 - Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)

 The Clive Barker Terror Timeline marches on into 1988 for a story Clive came up with the initial concept for and oversaw as executive producer and what may be the greatest horror sequel of all time....Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988). We'll look at why Barker didn't return to the director's chair and why director Tony Randel was chosen to continue the great work started in the first film, which Cenobite actors returned to reprise their roles,  Barker's as well as fan and critical reactions to the film, and of course we'll discuss the infamous deleted "Cenobite Surgeon Scene" and so much more.

SHV - S09E03 - Hellraiser (1987)

By far the most anticipated episode of Season 9 has arrived, and it is time to open the lament configuration as Seeking Human Victims puts Hellraiser (1987) on the slab. Like most  shows when we cover the landmark and iconic horror films, this is a giant-sized episode clocking in at around an a hour and 40 minutes. We look at the origins of the film in one of Clive Barker's novellas to the reason he stepped in to the directors chair himself. We'll talk the origin of the cenobites, how Pinhead became the face of the story even though that wasn't the original plan, changes that were made from the source material, how Barker's unique vision was brought to life and so much more. Don't miss this episode! Wherever you find podcasts.

SHV - S09E01 - Underworld (1985)

 Shit's been weird lately in the world y'all, so we're just leaning into it in 2021 with one of the most depraved, sadistic & creative writers in horror history. Welcome to Seeking Human Victims Season 9: The Clive Barker Terror Timeline! This is a little different than our previous TT seasons (Carpenter, Craven) in that Barker has only directed a small handful of films so he falls more into that Stephen King category of legendary creators as a writer who's works have been adapted many times over.  

In episode 1, we're looking at Barker's background and early life, his initial fame as a playwright and his transition into literature. The film we're covering was his first work on a film of any kind and he was hired to write the script for director George Pavlou after meeting him at a dinner party. The movie is 1985's "Underworld", and we're not talking vampires, werewolves & Kate Beckinsale but underground mutants, hookers & hoodlums in this late night British cable find!
