On a special Halloween episode of The Construction Record Podcast, digital media editor Warren Frey is joined by ConstructConnect director of news media Vince Versace and contributing writer Peter Kenter to discuss both ghost towns and participate in our annual horror film geek-out.

Peter has been crafting an article about ghost towns in both Canada and the U.S. and explains how abandoned places frozen in time can feel just as haunted as supernatural locales. Vince and Peter also discuss the phenomenon of “ghost cities” in China where entire neighbourhoods are built and unfilled and the eerie atmosphere of architectural styles frozen in time.

Warren, Peter and Vince also speak to both the latest horror films they’ve been watching and some classic horror they think deserves another viewing.

You can listen to our recent interview with VRCA president Jeannine Martin about the 2024 Awards of Excellence gala here. Our episodes are available at the Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce websites, on Libsyn and at Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music’s podcast section. Thanks for listening.
