Halloween is coming soon and there are almost as many scary stories about Florida to be told than there are waves at a beach. And it seems that some of them may be true.

Yes, I know, legends abound everywhere but in Florida we grow them big, loud, and...smelly?

You've heard of Bigfoot? Sasquatch? The Abominable Snowman? Well get ready to meet, our very own Skunk Ape.

Join me for another TALK Down Memory Lane as we explore another of the many Tales From South Florida.

Hollywood, Florida is turning 100 this year! But what do you get a city that’s celebrating a full century of sunshine, stories, and South Florida style?

In this special centennial episode, we’re honoring one of Hollywood’s own — a hometown talent who traded our palm-lined boulevards for the glitz of Hollywood, California. It’s a journey that bridges two coasts and two versions of the same dream: from the beaches of Broward County to the backlots of the entertainment capital of the world.

Take a TALK Down Memory Lane as Bill Monty speaks with Joseph Greco — writer, director, producer, and filmmaker. In 2006, Joseph released his award-winning film Canvas, starring Marcia Gay Harden and Joe Pantoliano, filmed right here in South Florida. The story, based on Joseph’s childhood memories, beautifully captures the heart and soul of our community — featuring familiar neighborhoods, streets, and landmarks that Hollywood locals will instantly recognize.

And here’s the best part: on November 1 at 7:30 p.m., Canvas will be shown at Cinema Paradiso in Downtown Hollywood, followed by a Q&A session with Joseph Greco and some of the film’s producers and crew. It’s sure to be an unforgettable evening, and you’re invited!

🎟️ Tickets are free but limited, so right after you listen to this episode, visit cinemahollywood.org/cinema to reserve your spot and maybe we'll meet because I will be there too.

In this special episode, we explore a couple of haunted Tales from South Florida for you.

First up, The Biltmore Hotel where a mischievous mobster murdered in 1929 likes playing elevator man with the ladies. But is he a smooth operator? And what's up with those spectral flashers in the hospital gowns?

Next, we travel to Broward County to learn about six spirits who just may make your next visit to the Stranahan House more interesting than you thought possible. Or impossible.
