Seeking Human Victims Podcast

Revenge of the remakes soldiers on with the BRUTAL 2006 remake of The Hills Have Eyes directed by Alexander Aja, produced by Wes Craven. We dig into all the gory goodness to look at this stylish, but very similar retelling with a sick & offensive coat of paint. You could also just call it the movie where the girl from Hocus Pocus involuntarily breast-feeds a deformed mutant cannibal. 

 Enjoy this special bonus episode featuring an interview we conducted with JB Destiny, Boomer Payne, Lola Destiny, Blair Morgan, & actor Erik Thompson of Image 987/Cryptic Pictures out of Pittsburgh, PA to talk about their new film "The Dirty Hands Man" which premiered the night we recorded this interview. We'll go in depth behind what went into the making of the film covering the inspirations, special effects, makeup, acting performances and more. We'll also talk about George Romero's lost pilot for the Pro Wrestling show Iron City Ass-Kickers, also available from Image 987 and how Dan, JB & Boomer's wrestling careers all at least indirectly intersected at one point or another and they found they all had quite a bit in common, including mutual friends. We'll also get a great George Romero story about what inspired ICA and how George himself was a wrestling fan. This was a great time and we definitely hope to have the Image 987 crew back on. 

 This week, Revenge Of The Remakes continues with our own "Snyder Cut", 2004's Dawn Of The Dead remake directed by Zach Snyder and written by James Gunn. We'll talk about how this movie was a cultural touchstone for Dan, why it's considered one of the best horror remakes ever, the terror of fast zombies, the incredible opening sequence and much more.

 Revenge of the remakes continues as we look at a stylized remake of a William Castle film through the filter of 2001 as Tony Shaloub, Matthew Lillard & Shannon Elizabeth star in Thirteen Ghosts. We'll look at the cult following that has grown around the film, argue with Muji about the merits of that following, breakdown the origin story of each ghost,  and much more on this highly requested edition of Seeking Human Victims. 

 This week we're examining the ballsy task of remaking one of the most beloved and groundbreaking horror films of all time. Nobody could have been more more up to the task than the legendary Tom Savini himself, in his directorial debut. We'll talk about Dan scaring the shit out of himself as a kid by watching this movie outside and Muji's seeming inability to remember these events. We'll look at the powerhouse performances from Tony Todd (pre Candyman), Tom Towles (Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer, House Of 1000 Corpses), & Patricia Tallman (respected stunt performer in tons of major films and TV shows). The new twists that were added to what was almost an identical remake otherwise and so much more. Available wherever you find podcasts!

 Sounds the party horn, we're celebrating 10 seasons of Seeking Human Victims with "Revenge Of The Remakes." tackling the single most argued about topic in all of horror fandom. We're kicking things off with 1988's goopy, horrific, take no prisoners retelling of the 1950s sci-fi classic.... The Blob! Hot of Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, the writer/director team of Chuck Russell & Frank Darabont bring us this cult classic starring Kevin Dillon & Shawnee Smith and we're getting our hands slimy to bring you the details.  Available wherever you find podcasts. 

 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.

 "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. 

 The Clive Barker Terror Timeline continues with one of his most popular adaptations ever. This time we're digging back into the archives to bring you 1992's Candyman. This episode was originally featured back on Season 1"The Slashers", but it was also an essential piece of telling the story of Clive's film adaptations so we've dusted off and are giving it to you 100% free and we recorded a brand new intro discussing all of the developments in the world of Candyman since we recorded the original episode and with the new film now just a few months away (finally) there's been plenty to talk about. 

 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.
