If you’re ready to launch your business before Black Friday, go to shopify.com to start your free trial. Summer H. Howell is starring in the huge new adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie, and she’s sitting down with Josh for a chat packed with spooky coincidences, fart machines and some seriously starry praise. Summer opens up about auditioning for The Curse of Chucky when she was just eight years old, the start of a lifelong love affair with horror, and how missing her own high school graduation to film an indie thriller ended up being exactly where she needed to be. She also gets candid about the gruelling 12-hour shoot for Carrie’s traumatic shower scene, and why she thinks it says so much about the shame and silence still surrounding periods. Josh and Summer also dig into the eerie moment her tarot deck landed on the gazelle card right before she booked her biggest ever role, the overwhelming response to the show (over 1.2 billion minutes watched in five days), and the surreal experience of Seth Rogen tapping her on the shoulder at a party to tell her he loved it. Plus she talks about her close, supportive friendship with horror icon Matthew Lillard, who plays her on-screen dad. Summer also joins the group chat to answer your questions, including the chaos of filming with a hidden fart machine and the most surprising DM she’s ever received. 🎥 Subscribe to the YouTube channel & follow the show on Instagram & TikTok: @joshsmithsgreatchatshow 📩 Business enquiries – [email protected] ──────────────────────── Josh Smith's Great Chat Show The chats that matter Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show is the podcast that reveals the chats that made our guests who they are today.
