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 - S08E02 - The Simpsons: Treehouse Of Horror II (1991)

TREEHOUSE OF COMMENTARY continues as the gags get more bizarre and the twilight zone references get more heavy handed in Treehouse Of Horror II. This episode introduces multiple long running traditions for the annual halloween special and the segments only get more gory as each is a nightmare that Homer ("IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN"), Bart ("THE BART ZONE") and Lisa ("THE MONKEY'S PAW") have after overindulging on Halloween candy. "Join Dan, Anni and Todd for an episode so fun it will have you saying. "LOOK AT MEEE I'M DAVEYY CROCKETT!"

SHV - S05E05 - The Bride Of Frankenstein (1935)

On this week's episode, love hurts...especially if you "Belong dead." We celebrate Valentine's day with the first ever Universal Monster Sequel as we unearth The Bride Of Frankenstein. We'll look at how director James Whale butted heads with the studio throughout the process, Boris Karloff's objections with the monster speaking, the fascinating story of Elsa Lanchester, and how even though it was a seemingly cursed production and way over budget, Bride Of Frankenstein ended up being one of the most beloved films of all time.
