This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! What starts as a fun, local haunted attraction quickly turns into a genuine scare for Barnaby Caps, the new owner. Behind the staged props and strategically placed cobwebs, real spirits seem to wander the corridors. How did the line between “spooky entertainment” and true paranormal activity become so blurred? Did the very concept of “haunted” lure restless souls to its door, or is something more sinister at play? Today, we peel back the layers of Barnaby's unsettling discovery and explore how this supposed seasonal thrill became a year-round residence for the dead. This is Part Two of our conversation.

Send us a textIn this episode of Campfire Chronicles, we step into the fog-drenched world of Universal's The Wolfman (2025) and sink our teeth into a full review of the film.

After breaking down the film's story, scares, and atmosphere, we shift gears and debate how The Wolfman should be brought to life at Halloween Gory Nights. Would a sprawling, moonlit scare zone filled with prowling werewolves be the way to go, or should it become a fully immersive haunted maze packed with brutal transformation scenes and relentless wolf attacks?Join us as we dissect the movie, imagine the ultimate werewolf haunt experience, and see if The Wolfman has the bite to become a horror event staple!Made in Spain Whether you're an expat chasing the dream, a traveller inspired by European elegance...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport This Channel By Shopping at our Official Store Featuring Ghost Executioners and Halloween Gory Nights Merchandise! https://www.teepublic.com/user/thehorrificnetwork?utm_source=designer&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=horrificnetwork Or Join The Horrific Network Patreon Channel for Just $2 Dollars a month and get exclusive content! https://patreon.com/thehorrificnetwork?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
