“It’s Halloween, I guess everyone’s entitled
to one good scare.”
—Halloween (1978)
I’m not one to seek attention, but I don’t mind having all eyes on me today.
It’s the first anniversary of my horror movie club and the day of what will
be the most epic party Salford Prep’s senior class has ever seen. Hopefully.
I hop out of my car, my best friends Elise and Demario following a
moment later. They popped out at lunchtime with me to help grab lastminute goody bag items.
A year ago, I never would have expected my mini rant on Insta about
Black people being offed first in horror movies to go viral. Or that hundreds
would log on when I threw out a random invitation to watch a horror movie
with me online, one where the Black person actually makes it to the closing
credits. That’s one of many reasons why I think Get Out is the greatest
movie ever made. And my obsession with the film is why each of the
twelve invitations to my anniversary party was accompanied by a vintage
Tiffany silver spoon, a nod to the movie’s legendary hypnosis moment.
With all the spooky activities I’ve got planned, everyone’s going to the
Sunken Place.
A gust of wind swirls through the parking lot of the Glen Cove strip
mall, located a few miles away from New York City, scattering a raked pile
of burgundy leaves. I tighten the belt of my coat. Like every other beach
town in the Northeast, it gets pretty cold this time of year.
“We’re gonna be late getting back to school,” Demario grumbles.
“You’re really doing this?” He rubs his hand over his head, tousling his
short locs. He’s got rich dark-brown skin, and broad shoulders from
competitive swimming.
“Yes, we are,” I say, making a beeline to the antiques shop. The
window display is overdone, with a mix of skulls, hanging bats, and
spiders.
I glance at Demario, unable to contain my excitement or laughter.
Going to see a tarot reader on Halloween is the perfect content for building
buzz.
I’ve got about forty thousand followers across both my TikTok and
Instagram accounts. After tonight, I’m hoping to hit fifty. The magic
number where I follow through with my plan of expanding my Jump Scares
brand into a podcast.
“Need help with your makeup for the party?” Elise asks. She tucks a
handful of unruly hair behind her ear. It’s a combination of loose coils and
tight springy curls, from her Black and Filipino ancestry. Elise plans to
follow in her mom’s footsteps as a Broadway makeup artist, and she’s my
go-to when it comes to glam.
“Yes, prom makeup, but make it dark,” I say. My costume is top-secret.
Not even these two know what I’m wearing.
Witchy bells chime overhead as the door swings open.
“Did you see Archer liked your last post?” Elise says, showing me her
phone. “Then again, he likes all your posts.”
