Smile 2 is Taking on a Genius Point of View Through a Pop Star

  Credit to Parade I finally watched the Smile 2 trailer in theaters when I went to go watch A Quiet Place: Day One (it was surprisingly a great film).  I was so surprised when the main character was revealed.  I was not expecting the film to focus on a pop star.  Finally, something original and new in the horror genre! I always wondered how it would be like if someone famous were to experience a horrible curse. The smile curse concept coming after a pop star through the many disguises of her fans is honestly terrifying.  Her fans are going to take on a sinister edge, meaning that nowhere is truly safe for this pop star.  The trailer showed enough for me to become totally hyped up for the film, I'm so excited to watch Smile 2 in theaters on October 18th. I have yet to watch the first film, but I'm glad to see that we are getting a brand-new perspective in the sequel! Thank you for reading!  Emy Quinn

I’m Writing a Horror Story on YouTube

 


I’m conducting an experiment on YouTube. I have mentioned this in the past, but I’ve working on a different sort of experiment now. I’m writing my own series through YouTube. A horror series. It has been a very fun experience for me. I am a huge horror fan, so I always wanted to do something like this through a social media platform.

I’m doing a slow burn sort of story, a very ambiguous tale with a cast of mystery characters you actually never see. The main character is the one who talks about everything that is occurring, and the audience listens to dialogue and looks at pictures that are revealed one by one.

I would have used Twitter to write my story, but I sort of feel that Twitter can be a very toxic environment. That is why I like to use Medium mostly to convey my information to the world, since this platform has a very positive social environment.

I’m actually curious to see if people will enjoy the series on YouTube. I do have one goal in mind with achieving three million views on YouTube, so I’m curious if the horror series will give me a bit of a boost. Any extra income will make me happy, especially if it’s coming from a horror form of media I adore.

I’m also writing this series to practice my horror writing style with short stories. I know I still need a little more work to become better with my stories. I need to work on my scares, the build — up to the horror moments, and how to build my characters in such a scary situation.

It's a very fun experiment, and I can't wait to see what comes next with the process!


Thank you for reading!
