Viperine’s Hauntlywood Diary - October 7th 2pm
I made it onto the set by the scales of my teeth and quickly began to set up for Veronica's arrival. I finished and was sitting in Veronica's chair, texting with Deuce on my iCoffin (he was asking if I had picked up a casketball jersey from the Barcelgroana casketball team he had asked for) when Veronica came in and gave me quite the fright! I laughed and gave her a quick bite... um, hug... and we got to work on her make-up for the next scene. After we got all the details of my trip out of the way (Veronica loved the mini souvenir replica of La Feardrera!) I asked her to give me all the latest on the vampire queen. Veronica got that "look", which makes you feel like you need to curtsey and reduce your conversation to "ma'am", and said, "I can't be concerned with the vampire queen right now; there is too much going on with the film." This was a sudden change from her concern I had picked up on while I was in Barcelgroana. Muy confuso!
I went back to the stories the old monsters had been telling about the vampire queen and knew my BFF was holding back on me. But why?
"Are you sure, ghoulfriend?" I asked as I carefully applied Veronica's frightliner. "Positive," she firmly replied before a production goblin reminded us we had just a few minutes before the next scene. Veronica rose out of her chair and gave me another hug (no bites this time!), and said she was glad to have me back. I quickly checked her fangs for lipstick and smiled, "Good to be home too, ghoulfriend!"
I watched her walk on to set and shook my vipers. Between the stories at the old monsters' home and Veronica's sudden disinterest in the vampire queen, I'm starting to believe things on this film set are getting more interesting than the actual film itself!
