Short Film: Queen of Night Chapter 2


A sequel short film to Queen of Night, this one released in 2023 and just under 9.5 minutes. In the first short we met D’Angelo (Michael Beasley) and his friend Millie (Natasha Collado) in the aftermath of some occult incident. This takes place a month later.

taking Jessica's form

The two friends are in D’Angelo’s room, he is trying to study, and she wants to show him a trick. Knowing she won’t let up, he closes his book and she changes her form into that of Jessica (Jayleen Maldonado) – a girl from one of D’Angelo’s classes who he has a crush on. Millie suggests he practice talking to Jessica through her. He doesn’t comply and is soon leaving her in his room whilst he goes to get pizza. She gets in bed for a nap.

no vampires here

After he has left a couple, Leon (Christopher Guity) and Tara (Zullyvette Muniz), break in and go to stab Millie – she isn’t in the bed anymore. She confronts them, fangs showing. We get a lowdown here of what has happened to Millie. Having bitten and dropped Leon, Tara calls her a vampire, but Millie responds that there are no vampires here – she’s a succubus. I do have to say thanks here to blog reader Ghostly who commented about her succubus nature on the post for the first short. I was aware of that but I am always appreciative of comments and there was every chance I didn’t know, so it’s never a wasted comment.

looking like a vampire

Of course, the line between succubus and vampire is thin – I often feature them here as they more often than not have a vampiric element (often energy devouring). In this case we don’t know if she is feeding but she has vampire like fangs and goes for the neck - the look is very vampire. She is brought to her senses by being sprayed with holy water (which would be as effective against a demon type as a vampire) and there is a mention that Millie is possessed. The night, however, is not over… Like the first film I couldn’t find an IMDb page at the time of writing.
