Lilly is an influencer excited about hitting 100,000 followers. She hires her friend Michael to monitor her feed and add multi-cam shots when she streams. She’s going to live stream at a house rumored to be haunted and it’s her first sponsored video. The owner wants to open a haunted bed and breakfast so she’s paying Lilly hoping for publicity.
As Lilly enters the house, Michael sees a figure in a hood behind her. But when he gets her attention, Lilly says no one is there. It’s weird but she’s not alarmed.
Lilly does some questionable things, such as scoffing at the owner in her live stream because the owner says she was possessed by a spirit in the house. It seems counter intuitive if she wants to be paid to vlog since who would pay someone who makes fun of them? She also brings tons of Halloween decorations and a framed poster to put on the wall. Why would she do that in a house that wasn’t hers?
She decides the live stream is a great time to do a make up tutorial and paints her face for Halloween. This is her opportunity to partner with Tania who has two million followers and a cosmetic line. Tania annoyingly refers to Lilly as babes, while Lilly says Tania is an inspiration. Lilly is hoping the partnership will increase her followers.
Lilly hears heavy footsteps in the house and when she goes to the basement a figure is seen in her feed. Her guest Peter, a psychic, tells her to get out once he is told there was a murder in the house. But at this point Lilly has 500,000 on her live stream so there’s no way she’s leaving. She says she doesn’t want to let her fans down and she’s worked too hard to get the followers. Since it’s found footage, we know Lilly will not bode well.
Questions abound. Why is Lilly picking up candy for trick or treaters when she’s supposed to be investigating the house? Why doesn’t Lilly believe Michael the second time he tells her something was behind her? What is the point of filming with two phones pointed at her face when it’s essentially the same view? Why does Lilly bring so many decorations to the house? Is the owner okay with her putting holes in the wall to hang pictures and lights? Lilly is both an ineffective and overly lax investigator.
Doing it for the fans dialogue
We can’t let them down. I’m not stopping right now.
There’s absolutely no way I’m stopping. This is incredible. Look how many people are watching it, guys.
Peter, I don’t think you realize how many people are watching this.
