Valentine’s Day gets a dark twist in this horror-themed episode of The Ghostly Gallery Podcast. Bruce and Tracy look at two slasher films from very different eras: the cult classic My Bloody Valentine from 1981 and the modern horror comedy slasher Heart Eyes from 2025. They talk about the stories, characters, setting, kills, and overall tone, with the moments that stood out and the parts that didn’t quite land. You’ll hear what surprised them, what felt dated or predictable, and which film works best depending on your horror taste.

The Ghostly Gallery Podcast Episode 125 – Exploring Maritime Folklore with It Came From The Maritimes Tonight, we are opening the door to the darker side of the Maritimes. This is a place where fog hangs over the coastline, the forests feel a little too quiet, and the past never really lets go. In this episode of The Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we are joined by Evan Carr Kinnear and Chelsea Carr Kinnear, the creators of It Came From The Maritimes, a show devoted to the folklore, mysteries, and paranormal history of Atlantic Canada. We talk about how their podcast began, what inspired them to focus on Maritime legends, and whether they feel a responsibility to preserve these stories before they fade away. Along the way, we explore some of the region’s most chilling tales, including the Cape Breton Hairy Man, Catherine McIntosh’s Grave, the Lunenburg Werewolf, the Vampire of Ingonish, the Curse of the Mary Celeste, Dagger Woods, and the mysterious Forerunners. They do not just tell these stories. They keep them alive. Episode 125 Subscribe to The Ghostly Gallery Podcast for more classic horror movie reviews, discussions, and interviews every week!

This week on The Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we start the show by discussing the latest Oscar nominations in the horror genre, including Sinners, which leads the pack with a record 16 nominations. We then dive into two intense new horror films from January 2026. First, we review Primate, a creature feature directed by Johannes Roberts. Set in a remote home in Hawaii, the film follows Lucy and her friends as they face a terrifying threat when a chimpanzee named Ben begins acting violently. We talk about the film’s shocking opening, the emotional setup, the use of practical effects, and whether the straightforward survival horror approach works. Next, we move on to The Bone Temple, the fourth film in the 28 Years Later series, directed by Nia DaCosta. The story continues directly from the previous film and follows Spike as he becomes trapped in a dangerous cult led by the unstable Jimmy Crystal. The film stars Jack O’Connell, Ralph Fiennes, Alfie Williams, and features a surprise appearance by Cillian Murphy. We discuss the disturbing storyline, the possibility that the infected may be curable, the unforgettable Bone Temple setting, and the standout performances.

On this week’s episode of The Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we talk about two horror films from 2025 that were quietly released but left a strong impression. While big titles like Sinners and Weapons dominated the conversation, Bring Her Back and Keeper deserve a closer look. We start with Bring Her Back, an Australian supernatural folk horror film from the directors of Talk To Me, Danny and Michael Philippou. The story follows two siblings placed into foster care after a traumatic loss, only to discover that their new home is shaped by grief, obsession, and dark occult practices. We discuss the disturbing atmosphere, the unsettling character of Ollie, and the way the film uses emotional trauma to drive its horror. We then move on to Keeper, directed by Osgood Perkins and starring Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland. What begins as a quiet anniversary getaway slowly turns into something far more disturbing. The film leans into slow tension, isolation, and ritual rather than jump scares. We talk about its eerie tone, divided audience reactions, and why it stands out from more conventional horror films. Both films explore grief, control, and the danger of crossing lines that should never be crossed. If you enjoy slow-burning horror, folk horror, and psychological tension, this episode is for you.

Step into the shadows with The Ghostly Gallery Podcast as we welcome Ken Gerhard, one of the world’s most recognized cryptozoologists and investigators of legendary creatures. Ken has spent decades tracking reports of Bigfoot, Mothman, the Loch Ness Monster, the Chupacabra, and other cryptids that refuse to fade into folklore. His work has appeared on MonsterQuest, The UnXplained, Ancient Aliens, and The Proof Is Out There on the History Channel. In this eerie but grounded conversation, we explore what cryptids really are, how investigators separate real evidence from campfire stories, and why Bigfoot remains the most hotly debated cryptid in the world. Ken breaks down the strongest arguments for and against Bigfoot’s existence, examines the mystery of Mothman, and explains why some cases leave even experienced researchers unsettled. We also dig into eyewitness accounts, footprints, historical legends, and the biggest misconceptions people have about cryptozoology and what it’s really like to chase creatures that may not want to be found. If you’re fascinated by Bigfoot, Mothman, and the unexplained, this one’s for you.

On this week’s episode, Bruce and Tracy dive into two generations of horror storytelling. We start with Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein (2025), now streaming on Netflix, and explore its emotional heart, striking visuals, and powerhouse performances. From Jacob Elordi’s unforgettable take on the Creature to Oscar Isaac’s intense portrayal of Victor Frankenstein, we unpack why this version feels more like a dramatic, gothic reimagining than a traditional horror film, and why it still leaves such a deep impression. Then we jump back 55 years to revisit Crowhaven Farm (1970), a landmark in made-for-TV horror. Tracy shares her first-ever viewing experience, while Bruce reflects on how this atmospheric witchcraft tale shaped his early love of the genre. We talk about its eerie slow-burn tension, memorable performances, and the twists that keep it chilling decades later. Whether you’re here for modern monster mythology or classic supernatural suspense, this episode blends fresh perspectives with nostalgic horror history.
