This is VANCOLOUR's Halloween Spook-tacular!
It’s Halloween on This is VANCOLOUR! Host Mo Amir welcomes a trio of guests for a frightfully fun — and occasionally terrifying — night of local conversation. Oddfellows Pictures producer Chris Ferguson (Longlegs, The Monkey, Dangerous Animals) explains why horror is hot right now. What does our appetite for fear say about us? Plus, should we really be reviving the spirits of dead celebrities to keep entertaining us from beyond the grave? Celebrity whisperer Fiona Forbes investigates how celebrities and their families feel about the curse of A.I. Finally, Vancouver author Jesse Ferreras reveals the scariest ghoul haunting the city — even worse than a Vancouver vampire — inspired by his new short story 'Ultraviolet Night' from the Not As It Seems: Gothic Anthology collection of short stories.
