Like many creative geniuses, Christian Gonzalez borrowed liberally from established works when he created “The Macabre Sessions” – in this case, from the best of the horror and science-fiction genres.

But if the young digital artist mined Stephen King’s worst nightmares for inspiration, the end result – an original audio story set on Long Island, told over 13 super-creepy episodes with a full voice cast, sound effects, original music, growling monsters and interdimensional stakes – was all about 21st Century innovation.

In today’s special Halloween-themed episode, Christian joins Spark host Gregory Zeller to discuss how a Suffolk County Community College class assignment became a living, snarling cornerstone of Suffolk Internet Radio – and explore how emerging technologies have modernized the creative process.
