Everyone

“Everyone” exists because of a horrific nightmare I had in 2018. After I woke up screaming, I decided to jot down the nursery rhyme the dead kid whispered into my ear. I’ll never forget it. “If you see her you can’t run, because she eats everyone.” The poem haunted me for months. As scary as it was, it felt all too grounded in my memories of 1990s schoolyard urban legends. I’ve always loved horror films, especially those focused on children and how frightening it is to grow up. My intention with “Everyone” was to write a scary ghost story not only for die-hard horror aficionados but also younger viewers new to the horror genre. I am actively pursuing getting the short filmed with the hopes of releasing it as a gateway horror film for all audiences.
