The Orillia Opera House will be featured in a new CBC series exploring some of Canada’s most haunted places.
Ghosting, featuring actors Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan, will premiere Jan. 26. All episodes will be available on the CBC Gem streaming service.
Hutchie (EZRA) and Finlan (Orphan: First Kill, EZRA) are known for their work in fiction in the horror genre, but in Ghosting, “they step off script and into their own real-life thriller on their quest to discover if Canada’s most haunted places are truly haunted,” according to a CBC news release.
“Ghosting brings a comedic spin to the paranormal genre and supercharges it with star power as Hutchie and Finlan invite their famous best friends to these notoriously spooky Canadian locales to reach a verdict of ‘haunted’ or ‘not.’”
The series will include appearances by Katie Douglas (Ginny & Georgia, Level 16), Devyn Nekoda (Scream IV), Kevin Alves (Yellowjackets, Locke & Key), Bukola Ayoka (Robyn Hood), Frankie Grande (Big Brother), Jade Hassouné (Shadow Hunters), Zoe De Grand Maison (Riverdale, Orphan Black), Synthia Kiss (Canada’s Drag Race) and Hale Grande.
The special guest during the episode featuring the Orillia Opera House will be Synthia Kiss (Daniel Finlan).
“From death drops to killer performances, Synthia Kiss has performed on stages around the world, making her the perfect plus one for an evening of fear and fun at Orilla’s historic opera house,” the release states. “Fan favourite of Canada’s Drag Race Season 2, Synthia lip syncs for the afterlife and helps Luke Hutchie and her biological brother, Matthew Finlan, investigate the fantastic phantoms of the opera house — all while trying to stay snatched for the ghosts.”
