Some may find the video reel below to be scary, creepy, or cause nightmares.
Do not watch if you aren't a fan of the macabre.

"Luckily, I met Nikiya Palombi through my casting director. She did her creature crawls and it gave me the creeps!

She was so incredibly in sync with what I had in mind for the Pale Figure character that I even had her play the Mom. The Mom/Pale Figure character is a complicated and multi-faceted one—she acts like a monster but has human intentions. Nikiya brought that out perfectly in her performance."
