Real Horrorshow

After two years of intermittent labor, here it finally is! Thank you so much to everyone who has been following the progress of this getting made and for supporting me as I took on a project that kind of exploded in scale past what I initially planned haha.

Firstly, thank you to everyone involved in making Beetlejuice the Musical! I love it so much and this thing only happened because the source material is just so good. Consider this a send-off for the musical since it’ll be closing early next year. If you’re able to, y'all should really grab some tickets and see the show live! They’re also touring the show soon, so really there’s no excuse!! Go watch this show. It’s a joy and a labor of love.

Secondly, I feel it’s necessary to provide a small disclaimer. This project started out as a storyboard and ended up landing somewhere in between boards and animation. For sake of those who don’t know and maybe want to break into the animation industry, this level of polish, color, backgrounds, etc is ABSOLUTELY NOT what is expected or wanted from an actual professional storyboard. I put in the time and effort to give it this level of polish just for fun! And also because I know I’m not shipping it off to get animated. This is the final product and it’s something I just wanted to do for the hell of it because I love boarding and I love this musical.

Now that that’s out of the way, I just wanna give an extra thanks to Jeannette Arroyo and Amber Blade Jones for busting their asses to give this little project some of the most BEAUTIFUL backgrounds in the business. It elevated the level of this thing beyond anything I could’ve hoped for.

Is that a good moment to post a weird take on Armand and the 'paint me with black wings' line? I feel like it's a very good moment to post it :')

in the early years, armand questions daniel ceaselessly about where he goes and what he does. daniel has had enough. 

“I know,”

“I have vast experience in actor’s performances-”

“I KNOW!”

“- and this acting is terrible, Daniel. Terrible.”

“I don’t understand why this titillates you. Is it merely watching the act or is there something about these people?” Squints. “Their clothes?” 

“Yes, Armand, I’m turned on by pizza delivery uniforms.”

“That explains the empty boxes in every motel room.” 

Daniel side-eyes him. “Did you just make a joke?” 

“Why is she mentioning her husband? That seems like an inefficient way to seduce a man.” 

Daniel rolls his eyes. “The threat of discovery is exciting.” 

“Why is he still holding the pizza? Surely if she’s felatting him, he can put it down–” 

friend: yeah I heard the books are pretty good

Yaasssss!
