Clergy Talk Podcast

In the latest episode of the Clergy Talk Podcast, hosted by Sister Ash, we welcome back PHANTASM/GHOUL’S BALL producer, Vita DeVoid—this time as a guest instead of a co-host! As we gear up for the third anniversary of Ghoul’s Ball, a series of small fan parties created by passionate fans of the band Ghost, we discuss how Vita inherited this beloved event from the ministry several years ago. As a seasoned event producer, she has taken Ghoul's Ball to new heights, thanks to the dedication and combined experience of her talented team. Vita highlights the key unique factors that set her events apart from other Ghost fan parties. While there have been a few international gatherings in the UK, Ghoul’s Ball primarily remains rooted in Hollywood, California. Join us as we delve into the essential roles of fan and record label involvement in these unique celebrations, with Vita stating an emphasis on how The Clergy is always watching. Sister Ash shares a memorable moment from a past Ghoul’s Ball where she witnessed a hilarious encounter with Vita and the congregation involving silly-string bukkake. Vita also reveals why she often bursts into tears after each fan party, highlighting the deep emotional connections formed during these events.
