What’s on Stage for Halloween Victoria 2024? The Scares Don’t Have To Be Real

Instead of offering the usual list, the focus here is what live theatre performances are being offered this year for a fun filled Halloween Victoria, BC

Halloween Victoria at the Legislature Buildings

Just what has changed this year for Halloween Victoria is that there are some new acts involved in celebrating the season and some fond returning staples. While this list is not meant to be comprehensive, the focus is with what live theatre performances are being offered over the same ol’ same ol’.

In a nutshell, they include Discover the Past’s Ghostly Walks, Galey Farms’ Festival of Fear and Ocean View / Saanichton Corn Mazes Fright Nights. It seems some local neighbourhood style events have disappeared, and they might make a comeback when nobody is worried about Covid. But as for other semi-regular shows, they are mentioned in the Honourable Mention section.

Also, thanks goes to the Theatre Victoria Facebook group for helping me compile this list. Presented in alphabetical order are:

Trust Me, There’s No Such Thing as Zombies if you ask Carlotta

Over the holidays, this oddball black comedy said, “There’s No Such Thing as Zombies!” and I had to see what this work is barking at. Voodoo Zombies are real, but for other types, well….

There’s No Such Thing as Zombies PosterAvailable to stream on Amazon USA

The highly satirical There’s No Such Thing as Zombies fills a niche that’s rarely explored in this subgenre. In this very British style horror comedy, what’s presented is more of a rom com because Carlotta (Luana Ribeira) can’t decide who she loves more. Is it Colin (Rudy Barrow) or Paul (Rami Hilmi)? I won’t say who eventually turns into a zombie, but it’s rather funny to see how this Uncle Fester wannabe shows emotions, despite not having the capacity to express his feelings. To stop him from falling back to baser instincts, he’s tied up.

In between, this presentation includes an investigative television show that tries to look into the pandemic going on. They act like commercials to the actual story going on, and what they establish is more about how London is faring in the midst of this “pandemic.” Unlike those big budget movies where it’s about escaping from the walking dead, here it’s about whether one can live with them. When considering this work feels more like a fan film than something huge, what’s presented feels more like a production meant for live theatre than anything else.
