But we all contributed to the classic beats and horror moments. So, I wanted to make sure that it was still Matthew Scott's words and his story that he wanted to tell. ![]() It was still always Matthew Scott's words, he has a very iconic way of speaking, it reminds a lot of people of like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, how there's sort of like a world lingo. We would all read it and obviously give notes and talk about it. So, Matthew Scott is definitely the writer on it, he wrote it, he would send it over to myself, and Dylan, and our producer, Chaz. Now, you mentioned that he wrote it, but I'm curious how much input you actually had into the story and the script, given you had, like you just said, a shared experience with him of growing up as a child actor and having those kinds of fans?Īllisyn Snyder: Yeah, absolutely. This film is all about watching somebody get stalked both in person and online, and I think that was something that we were the perfect people to tell that story. I was like, "You gotta write a feature now!" So, he was able to, unfortunately, dig from personal experience that I also related to, as well, of just growing up in the industry, having those parasocial relationships. I kept begging him, "Please write something for me to direct," and he wrote a short film called Don't Turn Off The Ghost Light that we shot together during quarantine, and it was just so much fun, it went so well. We both just love spooky things, and we love comedy, and I love his annual play Spook Night, it's one of the funniest things I've ever attended. First of all, Matthew Scott was immediately one of my best friends as soon as I met him on So Random!, I had never met anybody who loved to laugh and scream as much as me. I know you and Matthew Scott obviously go back to So Random!, but when did he first approach you with this, and what about it made you want to make your feature debut with this?Īllisyn Snyder: Well, thank you so much for the kind words. Screen Rant: I've been a big fan of your work since A.P.
