In this episode of the Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we take a deep dive into two intense horror films released in 2016: Green Room and Hush. We begin with Green Room, a brutal and fast-paced thriller starring Anton Yelchin in one of his final performances. The film follows a punk band trapped in a deadly situation inside a neo-nazi bar, where tensions escalate quickly, and survival becomes uncertain. We discuss the film’s relentless pacing, shocking moments, and Patrick Stewart's unsettling performance in a role that is far from what audiences typically expect. We then move into Hush, directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Kate Siegel. This home invasion thriller offers a unique perspective, placing us alongside a hearing-impaired writer fighting for survival against an intruder. The film builds tension through silence, isolation, and careful storytelling, creating a gripping and immersive experience. This episode explores what makes both films effective in very different ways, from chaotic, violent intensity to quiet, calculated suspense, along with our final thoughts and ratings.

Join Bruce Markusen and Tracy Asteria as they discuss two recent horror films: Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story and We Bury the Dead. First, we talk about Abraham’s Boys, the Shudder film directed by Natasha Kermani and based on the short story by Joe Hill. Set years after the events of Dracula, the story follows Abraham Van Helsing living in isolation with his family in California as his sons begin to question whether their father is protecting them from vampires or descending into dangerous obsession. We also explore We Bury the Dead, starring Daisy Ridley, where a woman travels to Tasmania after a catastrophic experimental weapon devastates the region, leaving thousands dead and some mysteriously reanimated as she searches for her missing husband. Join us as we break down both films and share our overall thoughts on these two recent horror releases. #HorrorMovies #HorrorPodcast #VampireMovies #ZombieMovies #AbrahamsBoys #WeBuryTheDead Episode 130 Films discussed: Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story (2025) We Bury the Dead (2026) Subscribe to The Ghostly Gallery Podcast for more classic horror movie reviews, discussions, and interviews every week!

In this episode of The Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we take on two very different sides of horror with Dracula from 2026 and the 1986 thriller The Hitcher. We begin with a fresh take on the Dracula legend, diving into Vlad’s tragic origin story, the emotional weight behind his transformation, and the performances that bring this darker version of the character to life. We talk about the gothic atmosphere and whether this new interpretation earns its place among other Dracula adaptations. Then we hit the highway with The Hitcher, revisiting the tense, unsettling cat-and-mouse game between Jim Halsey and the mysterious John Ryder. We break down the psychological intensity, the escalating danger, and why Rutger Hauer’s performance still stands out decades later. From shadowy castles to deserted roads, this episode explores two stories built on obsession, pursuit, and survival. Join us for another deep dive into horror, old and new.

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 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.

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.

This week on The Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we’re sinking our teeth into two very different takes on the Dracula legend. First, we travel back to 1960 with Hammer’s gothic classic The Brides of Dracula. Despite Dracula never appearing on screen, this chilling tale introduces us to Baron Meinster, Van Helsing’s return (Peter Cushing at his finest), and one of Hammer’s most atmospheric and underrated vampire films. Then, we leap forward 40 years to the year 2000 with Wes Craven’s Dracula 2000. Starring Gerard Butler in an early role, Christopher Plummer as a modern-day Van Helsing, and a cast full of familiar faces, this Y2K horror mashup mixes gothic lore with turn-of-the-millennium flair. Join us as we compare these two films, explore what worked (and what didn’t), and share our favorite performances, moments, and lasting impressions. If you’re a fan of classic Hammer horror, gothic chills, or early 2000s vampire fun, this episode is for you!

Step inside The Ghostly Gallery Podcast, where horror, mystery, and the supernatural take center stage. In this week’s episode, Bruce and Tracy explore two films separated by 55 years but united by their ability to unsettle and haunt their audiences. First, we dive into Zach Cregger’s 2025 horror mystery Weapons, starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin. A small town is shaken when 17 children vanish at 2:17 a.m., leaving behind only one boy with no memory of what happened. From multiple perspectives, Weapons weaves a chilling story of grief, paranoia, and supernatural dread.

Adapted from the gothic soap opera Dark Shadows, this film delivers atmosphere, blood, betrayal, and one of horror’s most tragic monsters. Together, we compare modern horror’s slow-burn mystery with the classic gothic vampire tale, sharing our impressions, favorite performances, and lasting chills.
