This movie is so goddamn scary. I could feel it on set. I can’t wait for you guys to see it.
It’s been an incredible year, and what’s so cool about the movies you listed is how different they all are. Everybody has a different idea about what’s scary, and that is what I love about horror.
I need him on camera with me. We wrote this together thinking this will be the movie that we starred in together, an homage to what we’ve been doing online.
a wild fucking ride, guys!
