After the surprise success of The Kasey Ferguson Show's Halloween In May radio event in 2023, a sequel was inevitable. The international radio event not only slayed the expectations of the stations involved but also those of Kasey himself. "I'd love to say that I knew from the beginning Halloween In May was going to do so well but frankly, it shocked the hell out of me" says Ferguson with a laugh. It was once Eric Tremblay, the President of the local FM carrier 101.3 FM Amherst Island Radio decided to air the entire overnight broadcast 3 times instead of just once that its mad scientist realized he'd created a monster. Glowing reports from Halloween In May's international carriers MM Radio (Switzerland) and Radio Dark Tunnel (Germany) that horror fans the world over were listening in droves reinforced the sentiment that clearly one Halloween isn't enough.
So, not only is The Kasey Ferguson Show bringing back the event this May, he promises that the sequel Halloween In May 2: Halloweekend will be "even bigger and bloodier than the original". In addition to running overnight for the entirety of the weekend instead of just one night, HIM 2 will also see the addition of other hosts/programs included in the event. DJ Sassy from The 80's Mixtape (New Zealand) and TJ Hodder of Tapes Of Trepidation/The Hodder Show (Peterborough, Ontario) have been confirmed and there is a possibility that more programs will be added in coming months.
As for The Kasey Ferguson Show's part of HIM 2, both new and past episodes will be included in the broadcast. Among the confirmed interview guests are Thom Mathews (Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives), Kevin Waterman (Fear Street trilogy), Laurene Landon (Maniac Cop), Jeff Zahn (composer of the original Are You Afraid Of The Dark TV series), September (lead vocalist of September Mourning), directors Aaron B. Koontz (Scare Package), Craig David Wallace (Todd And The Book Of Pure Evil) and Adam Marcus (Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday) with more TBA. Plus, side splitting shenanigans, vintage Halloween commercials/horror movie trailers, trivia, prize giveaways, horror movie picks from special guests and murderous music from axe wielding artists such as Sunflower Dead, New Year's Day, The 69 Eyes, Beast In Black, Living Dead Girl, Kilmore, Warmen, Lucifer, Night Demon, Arch Enemy, Alice Cooper, Tool, In This Moment and many more!
The new hard rock and heavy metal station Unity X Radio Thunder (Canada) will be joining the growing list of stations carrying Halloween In May 2 and Kasey is currently in negotiations with several other stations interested in broadcasting the event including a number of US based outlets.

Not only will Kasey return to haunt his hometown airwaves at 101.3 FM Amherst Island Radio this spooky season, he's bringing something from the other side with him!
After a 5 year absence from CJAI's airwaves, Kasey returned to the station this past spring with the highly successful Halloween In May radio event. Originally planned for a single night, the station was so pleased with the 6 hour programming block that they decided to air it 3 nights in a row.
Now, with the real Halloween around the corner Kasey and CJAI have rejoined evil forces for The Kasey Ferguson Show's Halloween Scare-A-Thon!
The Halloween Scare-A-Thon will build upon the fearsome foundation of Halloween In May by adding an ALL NEW episode of The Kasey Ferguson Show's Haunted House Of Rock with special guests Theresa Tilly and Betsy Baker from the 1981 horror classic, The Evil Dead! Also adding to the frightening festivities will be enough prizes to put a sumptuous sag in your trick or treat bag courtesy of presenting sponsors Rotten Rags, Liquid Death, Darkside Releasing, Breakfast At Dominique's, Warlock Skateboards, Sebxet, BearManor Media and The Capsaicin Cartel!
The Kasey Ferguson Show's FM version of Halloween Scare-A-Thon will air EXCLUSIVELY on 101.3 FM Amherst Island Radio starting at 11pm EST and run overnight on Oct 31st, Nov 1st and Nov 2nd but you can also stream worldwide from CJAI's website at https://www.cjai.ca/ .

Yes, the demonic dames from the original 1981 horror classic The Evil Dead are checking out of that highfalutin cabin in the woods and checking in to the dilapidated shack known to local police, fire and ambulance as Motel Ferguson!
Theresa Tilly and Betsy Baker are delivering the gory goods and taking Kasey on a most bodacious behind the scenes journey of the murderous making of The Evil Dead. It's a moonshine swilling, milk spurting, skull rattling tale of madness but it's also a testament to a tenacious young team coming together to defy the odds and the sacrifice it takes to follow your dreams.
Look for the interview with Theresa and Betsy on the Kasey Ferguson Show Haunted House of Rock 12 which will debut on the brand new 24/7 rock and metal station Unity X Radio Thunder on Thurs, Oct 26th at 9pm EST via https://kaseyfergusonshow.com/unity-x-radio-thunder . This episode will also appear on the FM version of The Kasey Ferguson Show Halloween Scare-A-Thon on 101.3 FM in Kingston starting at 11pm EST and running all night on Oct 31st, Nov 1st and Nov 2nd with worldwide streaming available at https://www.cjai.ca/

Edmonton, Alberta's Unity X Radio has tapped Kasey to build and manage a new 24/7 rock and metal channel as part of their brand extension!
"A mutual friend who does PR with a lot of metal bands and festivals mentioned Kasey to me" explains Unity X Radio owner Sam Crooks. "I was a little reluctant at first because I wasn't really a big fan of a lot of the podcasts I had heard and I wasn't sure how much experience Kasey had in radio" Sam confesses. "However, I trusted the person this was coming from so I decided to look into this Kasey guy and I'm looking at the guests he's had on going...wait...hold on" continues Sam. "Then, I listened to one of Kasey's shows and was like...WHO IS THIS GUY?!". Sam admits "Kasey changed the way I thought about podcasts...I also didn't realize he had started doing radio back in '99".
As for Unity X Radio Thunder Sam says simply "Kasey has a vision and I'm 100% on board with it". Kasey recalls an early conversation "Sam said to me, I just want to stick it to FM...to which I replied...I can do that".
UXR Thunder will begin streaming this October beginning on Friday The 13th at https://unityxradio.ca/. Let the hockey mask wearing, machete brandishing, skinny dipping, nubile camp counsellor cavorting, beer swilling, window smashing, woods wandering, 3-D dabbling, body count piling party begin!
