SHV Christmas Special - Silent Night Deadly Night (1984)

Our gift to you: From The Archives - The original Silent Night Deadly Night Episode.  

This week we're flashing back to our 3rd annual Seeking Human Victims Christmas Special. This year we're covering the ultimate Santa Slasher flick, 1984's "Silent Night Deadly Night" and we make the case for why it is our favorite holiday horror film. Joining regular hosts Dan and Anni Wilson on the show for the first time on the guest round-table is legendary pro wrestling manager and fellow Silent Night Deadly Night enthusiast Jeff G Bailey! We talk all about the heart, the sleaze and the controversy of one of the most infamous slasher films of all time. 

SHV - Bonus Episode - Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)

 It's time to TCB on SHV as we cover the Don Coscarelli classic starring Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis, that gives "Hail to The King, Baby" a whole new meaning....Bubba Ho-Tep (2002). Plus musical guest Muskeg Charnel appears courtesy of Horror Pain Gore Death Productions. (Horrorpaingoredeath.com)

SHV - Bonus Episode: Ninja 3 - The Domination (1984)

We're currently on between season break, but that's not stopping the bonus content. Courtesy of Executive Producer Joe Blair, we bring you one of the most over the top Cannon films ever (which is really saying something.) Bask in the glory of Ninja 3: The Domination starring Lucinda Dickey, better known as the star of Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

SHV - S12E03 - An American Werewolf In London (1981)

 This week on Season 12: Wolfamania, we wrap up our look into the year of the wolf, 1981, with quite possibly the most famous Werewolf movie of all time next to the original Wolf Man.  It's definitely the only other werewolf film to get full merchandising lines, action figure lines and even a spot at Universal Studio's Halloween Horror Nights. It is also the film that propelled special effects artist Rick Baker to superstardom and inspired the Michael Jackson, "Thriller" video. It won the fist ever academy award for special effects, is considered an all time classic and is some how still underrated. It is our distinct pleasure to bring you our official episode on John Landis' "AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON."

All that plus our musical guest, coming to us all the way from Mexico courtesy of Horror Pain Gore Death Productions, is the legendary death/thrash band Mortuary with their song "Holy War" from the incredible compilation record Death Metal Power From Beyond, available now at horrorpaingoredeath.com

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 )

For EP Casey Oliver, here is our tale of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic, PREDATOR.

Exclusive to EP Patrons until Monday.

SHV - S05E06 - The Wolf Man (1941)

Even a man who is pure of heart and says his prayers by night, can enjoy our podcast when wolfsbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright. Or something like that. Our journey into Universal Monsters moves into the next decade as we meet the obvious heir apparent to be the face of this decade, Lon Chaney, Jr. His rise to this role wasn't exactly what you'd imagine when you normally think of hollywood nepotism, though and we'll learn the fascinating story of how he came to eclipse the shade of his legendary father even if he didn't realise he had done so.  We also learn how nothing you thought you knew about Werewolf lore is true and most all of it comes from writer Curt Siodmak and this film . Don't get bitten! Watch out for pentagrams magically appearing on your hand! And be sure to tune into this episode. 

Also we'll feature special musical guest "Poltergeist" of the HorrorCore Rap world and his song "Tall Man."

SHV - S11E03 - The Brood (1979)

We've made it chapter 3 of The David Cronenberg Terror Timeline.  This episode looks at one of his most personal films, 1979's The Brood. This is the film that was inspired primarily by Cronenberg's own brutal divorce from his first wife and the ensuing custody battle over their child and was David's "answer film" to Kramer vs Kramer. Plus some entertaining tales about the wild personal exploits of Oliver Reed. Buckle up and like we have done all season.. "Let's Get Weird!".

SHV - S11E02 - Rabid (1977)

 We're back with the next chapter in the David Cronenberg terror timeline with 1977's "Rabid".

SHV - S11E01 - Shivers (1975)

 Welcome to Season 11, The David Cronenberg Terror Timeline. This season we'll chart the career of the Canadian director who became known as the master of body horror. We kick things off this week with his first traditional feature film, the controversial "Shivers" from 1975. We'll look at how he got funding from the Canadian government, the influences that shaped his work and detail the battles he fought over his art not limited to having to testify before Parliament and being kicked out of his apartment.

SHV - Seeking Human Victims - S10E09 - Evil Dead (2013)

 Even though it is one of the favorite horror franchises of most everyone on the show, somehow Evil Dead has yet to make an appearance on Seeking Human Victims....until now. This week we're looking at the 70,000 gallon bloodbath that may have actually beaten Halloween to the punch with the whole "requel" thing. That's right it's Fede Alvarez directing, Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell & Rob Tapert producing and Jane Levy Starring in 2013's EVIL DEAD. 

SHV - S10E07 - Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007)

 No remake is seeking revenge in this season more than this one. In a season that has brought us movies that are generally beloved by horror fans we've hit a polarizing roadblock as the controversial Rob Zombie remakes perhaps the most beloved horror film of all time, John Carpenter's 1978 "Halloween". We'll look at the alternate realities where a Halloween vs Hellraiser crossover almost took place, Rob Zombie's path to get there, what John Carpenter thought of it and much more. Plus, musical guest Poltergeist returns with a brand new song called "Sleepaway"! Available where you find podcasts. 

SHV - S09E08 - The Midnight Meat Train (2008)

 In the season finale of the Clive Barker Terror Timeline we're looking at Barker through the lense of Japanese Director Ryuhei Kitamura (No One Lives), as performed by Vinnie Jones, Bradley Cooper & Leslie Bibb in this 2008 splatterfest. Learn about how a huge Barker fan adapting one of his stories yielded interesting results as we wrap up season 10! Also stay tuned for Season 11 - Revenge Of The Remakes, debuting on March 15th. Always available on all major podcast outlets.

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! Available at Spotify, itunes and all major podcast providers.

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 - 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!

SHV - Bonus Episode - 2020 Year In Review

Here is a special bonus year in review episode before we kick off Season 9 next week. 

A couple of disclaimers: 

- This episode is just Dan who recorded some quick, informal thoughts on the year. These are Dan's opinions and are his alone and don't necessarily reflect the rest of the Seeking Human Victims broadcast team or One Good Scare Productions as a whole. He talks about the various OGS projects and accomplishments that 2020 brought, goes over what his favorite movies of the year were, and pays some tribute to his fallen friends from the wrestling business. 

-  Dan totally forgot to mention the movie "HOST" from director Rob Savage. It was THE film of the pandemic and captured the isolation and dread many of us were feeling. It was even recorded entirely on Zoom! That was another of his favorites of 2020 and is also streaming on Shudder.
