We're back with an all new entry into Seeking Human Victims Season 12 - Wolfamania, as we look at the 1996 B movie from Morgan Creek called "BAD MOON" starring Mariel Hemmingway & Dennis The Menace! We talk about the pros, cons and everything in between as well tell the story of yet another werewolf movie based off of a book. Listen as we go through this mixed bag of lycanthropic fun.
Plus special musical guest Exsanguination appearing courtesy of Horror Pain Gore Death Productions.
Corey Haim on the cusp of blowing up, Gary Busey at the height of his powers, a buffet (literally) of amazing character actors and more are all contained within this week's episode as we talk the polarizing "Silver Bullet", which to some is one of the best movies ever adapted from the works of Steven King and to others, was a massive disappointment. Based on the King novella, "Cycle Of The Werewolf", the SHV crew will weigh in with a variety of opinions. Also this week our musical guest courtesy of HorrorPainGoreDeath.com comes to us from Albequerque, NM with their song "Separate" off the upcoming album "This Insidious Horror", is "FEED THE CORPSES TO THE PIGS".
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
Wolfamania continues with our look into the 2nd entry into the 1981 werewolf movie craze with a quite different take on that myhthology as we watch WOLFEN directed by Michael Wadleigh. We'll discuss how this pure horror meets crime drama hybrid packs a unique punch that sets it apart from its contemporaries, part of which is its embarassment of character-actor riches including the likes of Edward James Almos, Tom Newnan, Gregory Hines and Albert Finney.
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.
