🚨 Pain in the Neck poster just dropped‼️🚨
🦇
After the apocalypse hits Hollywood, Ruby’s acting career is dead, her landlord’s a chatty zombie, and her roommate, Helena, is a vampire that drinks her blood in exchange for protection. As the two big personalities clash, Ruby and Helena struggle through self-tapes, jealousy, and sharing a bedroom. Ruby and Helena’s arrangement should be simple– it shouldn’t involve falling in love. (Spoiler: none of the gay characters die, because one of them is already undead.)

Pain in the Neck is an 8-episode series that will premiere 9/17 on YouTube @ButterflyAndBat.TV, with weekly episodes leading up to Halloween. Click the link in our bio to subscribe to our YouTube, and make sure to set posting notifications on! 🧛🏻‍♀️♥️🧟‍♂️

ONE WEEK OF @painintheneckshow! ♥️ Episode 3 is out today! I don’t think I can accurately put into words how overcome with gratitude and excitement I am. Seeing people react to the love child of @itsalyssaeells and I with so much love and care and support has been just surreal. Thank you for watching and commenting and sharing and caring! This story is everything I’ve ever wanted to create, and to be met with such positive reception is a dream come true. The first of many sappy posts, but certainly not the last!
