Parker Finn Keeps A Scary Smile

October 31, 2024 Jeff Goldsmith

For your reading pleasure, we hope you enjoy an excerpt of half the article on the Backstory blog of our interview with writer-director Parker Finn about his disturbingly scary, Smile 2 — in theaters now.

In our exclusive chat with Finn we talked about how he plotted out the follow up to the successful first Smile film and just how far he likes to push his characters into a terrifying realm.

We hope you enjoy this preview from our new Issue #53 — which also features two Speak No Evil cover stories!
