Friday Night Fright Mic

This year I had the crazy idea to make a twitter only interactive video series. The thought was to do a quick video every Friday evening demonstrating a microphone that is seen in a horror film. I mentioned the year of the film, provided a hint about the plot of the film, and listed a few characters names. Folks would have only 2 hours to reply with their guesses of the microphone and the movie and then I would publish 2nd video containing the answer.

The motivation behind doing this series is because creating similar videos every week can get somewhat redundant, and by doing something very different afforded me some more creative outlet. It made me really excited to make some videos, and even more excited to post to twitter (something I don’t think anyone has said in years).

I did not embark on this project to get a huge amount of views (which I didn’t), I decided to do it because I like trivia, I like microphones, and I like horror movies. The videos were some of the most fun I’ve had on twitter in a long time, and there were a few people who were able to get every week correct.

The moral of this post is you should make the content you want, and you shouldn’t be afraid to experiment . If your audience is on one platform, there are plenty of other platforms out there that you can mess around on to try new ideas. That’s what I did this year, and I had a blast with it and will most likely do something similar next October. Stay Spooky.
