Back to EpisodesThe Craft & Hokum Review | 90s Witchcraft vs Modern Gothic Horror
Description
This week on the Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we explore two very different sides of horror with reviews of Hokum and The Craft.
We begin with Hokum, the eerie gothic horror film blending witchcraft, ghosts, psychological trauma, and supernatural mystery inside a haunted Irish hotel. From the disturbing presence of Jack the Jackass to the film’s dreamlike atmosphere and strange symbolism, Bruce and Tracy discuss what worked for them, what left them questioning things, and whether the online hype surrounding the film lived up to expectations.
We then revisit the cult 1990s classic The Craft, discussing its memorable cast, themes of power, bullying, friendship, and revenge, and why the film still connects with horror fans nearly 30 years later.
Join Bruce Markusen and Tracy Asteria for a conversation about witchcraft, haunted hotels, psychological horror, cult classics, and modern gothic storytelling.
