Valentines Horror Movie Review: Heart Eyes (2025)

This week on Tales, Trails & Taverns, Rob and Joe sit down to talk slashers, superstition, and summer camp legends as we review the 2025 horror film Heart Eyes.
We break down what worked, what didn’t, and where Heart Eyes fits into the modern wave of Valentine’s Day–themed horror. From kills to callbacks, we dig into the movie’s inspirations and whether it earns a place among classic holiday slashers.
We also discuss the origins of Friday the 13th. We explore the real-world origins of the superstition, tracing the fear back through history, folklore, and religious legend—and how that unlucky date became permanently linked to horror culture.
We also head into the woods to talk about Friday the 13th and the real-life location that brought Camp Crystal Lake to life.
We discuss Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, the summer camp where the original film was shot, its history, and why it remains one of the most iconic filming locations in horror history.
Grab a drink, lock the cabin door, and join us as love, luck, and legends collide—because some dates… and some places… were never meant to be romantic.
