3 roles
Ambitious and fame-hungry paranormal YouTuber who doesn’t believe in the supernatural but will do anything for views. Charismatic, impulsive, and increasingly unhinged. Needs strong emotional range – from cocky excitement to horror and regret. Lots of screen time and key dramatic scenes.
Clark’s level-headed best friend and co-host. Loves the paranormal but is more reasonable and skittish/worried. The moral center who tries to keep things safe. Requires good chemistry with Clark and strong reactive/emotional acting in scary moments.
A seemingly normal woman haunted in her home. Warm and vulnerable at first, then terrifying and possessed. Pivotal horror scenes with big intensity shifts. Great opportunity for a standout creepy performance.
