The JC Sunshine Halloween special was great. There were a few glitches live, but there’s a tighter version on demand now, plus we’re told a more polished edit is on its way!

The episode contains a real, though brief, zombie movie.  There are plenty of zombies and even a zombie hunter.  In a first for the Fireside Chat, there are even action sequences, fighting and (funny) gore!

Nik Fitt (Marilea Isernia) and JC

Basically, Rex got turned into a Zombie and turned Ricardo into one who then chased JC outside into a zombie apocalypse. He was helped by Nik Fitt (Marilea Isernia, who also does camera and helps write the show) for a while (we won’t reveal too much here) then, poof, back in studio for the interview!

The guest was Velma Candyass of the Dead Doll dancers (think zombie burlesque) and she talked about her group and their campaign to save the main. An excellent episode with an excellent guest.

This is the kind of Halloween special that could maybe become an annual event.

It was a slightly longer break than usual, but it looks like it was worth it for fans.

We’ve learned through a reliable source that the next episode of JC Sunshine’s Fireside Chat, a halloween special scheduled to air live on Forget The Box TV this Sunday at 7:30pm eastern, will include an original mini zombie movie.  An announcement on the show’s site and a series of promo images released by Forget The Box indicate that this report is true:

This looks like another zombie:

This one probably isn’t a zombie, but she does look like a character you’d find around them:

JC’s guests have been confirmed as members of the Dead Dolls, a Montreal-area burlesque dance troupe who are known as much for their horror-esque look and entertaining style as their moves.  No word yet on which Dead Dolls will be on the show.

There’s also no word on what will happen to Rex.  If you remember correctly, he ended up lost in space at the end of the science fiction episode.  Hmm, maybe this offers some sort of explanation:

Hopefully this is just a one-off story element, which would make sense considering this is Halloween.  Either way, it looks like they went all out for this episode.

We here at jcsunshine.net can’t wait.  Expect our full report soon.  For now, though, there’s one more promo shot to enjoy:
