SHV - Thanksgiving Special 2020 - Pumpkinhead (1988)

Due to unexpected holiday related delays, (we just couldn't get everyone together to record.), The "Pumpkinhead 2: Blood Wings" Thanksgiving Special is slightly delayed. Please enjoy our original Seeking Human Victims Thanksgiving Special, released from the archives. Get access to over 12 seasons of content plus holiday bonus episodes like this at Patreon.com/OGScare

 

We're back for more holiday bonus episodes as we attempt to start a new Thanksgiving tradition with the Pumpkinhead franchise. We're starting right at the beginning as we dissect the impressive creature work on display in what was also FX legend Stan Winston's directorial debut. It is also one of the few horror films that provides an accurate representation of Appalachia and we delve into that a bit as well. No commentary tracks here, this is the return to the classic Seeking Human Victims format. So sit down with us and break bread as we enjoy some Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Beer and Pumpkinhead.

SHV - S12E01 - The Howling (1981)

 Welcome to the landmark 12th season of The Seeking Human Victims podcast. This is a "Spin off" season, going back to our wildly popular "Universal Monsters" season where the modern movie monster template was created and will be an annual feature here on the show.  Last year we looked at the children of "Creature From The Black Lagoon" with Season 7 - Aquatic Horror Beach Party, but now things are getting hairy! It's WOLFAMANIA brother, and the first begotten son of Lon Chaney Jr is the Werewolf craze of 1981 as we revisit the "Piranha" team of director Joe Dante and writer John Sayles for what is still regarded as one of if not the best werewolf films of all time....1981's THE HOWLING!

Plus we're always bringing the spooky jams....our musical guest this week all the way from Sweden are death metal ass-kickers RIBSPREADER with their track "The Bone Church" off the new comp "Death Metal Power From Beyond" out now from Horror Pain Gore Death Productions.  (Ribspreader appears courtesy horrorpaingoredeath.com )

SHV - S06E10 - Vampires (1998)

This week on Seeking Human Victims, we continue our "John Carpenter Terror Timeline" season as we look at Escape From LA and it's reception and how 1998's Vampires came out of that just as JC was about to call it quits on filmmaking and gave him a new spark once again as he finally got to make that Western he'd so longed for.  We look at a solid ensemble cast, the polarizing but memorable performance of James Woods, and how this was in many ways John's gnarly, visceral and hyper gory answer to the recent popularity of "Interview With A Vampire." among others.

SHV - S06E07 - Body Bags (1993)

The John Carpenter Terror Timeline continues as we cut in to this anthology film that was originally planned to be Showtime's answer to Tales From The Crypt. We'll learn about the numerous celebrity cameos, how many of these actors went on to work with Carpenter in the future, Tobe Hooper's involvement, and so much more. We'll also cover the period from 1988 to 1993 and what the horror master was up to during that time including Memoirs Of An Invisible Man. 

SHV - S04E08 - Train To Busan (2016)

 Season 4 continues with TRAIN TO BUSAN a 2016 film that showed the world that despite pop culture zombie fatigue, there is plenty of life left in the undead if you tell the right story. We learn about how director Yeon Sang-ho's background in animation prepared him for his first feature, what social commentary he was trying to include, his ultimate goal for the film and much more. While there was some stiff competition, we explain we think this is the finest zombie film of the last decade.
