Ep. 268: Cryptid Culture
In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon is joined by author, illustrator, and Cryptid Empire creator David Hardie to discuss the folklore, culture, and enduring appeal of legendary creatures like Bigfoot, Mothman, the Jersey Devil, Frogman, and more.
Rather than debating whether these creatures exist, David explores why these stories continue to resonate across generations. The conversation covers the surprising rise of cryptid culture, how comic books, horror films, and heavy metal helped shape modern monster mythology, and the incredible success of the Mothman phenomenon in Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
