Escape the Night: Season 3 (My Way + Self-Insert OC)

The Behind The Scenes

A/N: This chapter was written from the perspective of if everything was filmed ala real life.

The montage for Richard began with Mat, Safiya, him, and Ro standing in a group.

Richard: Not only are we grouped in height, we have the smarties on one end, the cinnamon roll on the other, and the smart cinnamon roll in the middle.

It cut to various clips of Richard on set and off set, ending with him getting shocked from something and singing out a note, getting looks at him.

Richard: What? I can't sing when I'm shocked?

RICHARD flashes on screen in the Escape The Night season 3 font.

Joey: Richard was such a fun person to have. He helped solve puzzles, he got along with everyone, he was a fan of the series, but most importantly, he could act. His only experience was high school theater and his skits on YouTube, but that scene in Episode 7.

It cut to said scene when the knocking door revealed a briefcase.

Richard: DAMMIT!

He threw the harp and everyone visibly flinched at both the yell and throw.

Joey: He knew Mat was coming and he was just getting ready, but he made it feel like he... really lost all his hope he had built up.

Adam: He actually made us change the ending.

As Adam talked, the camera showed pieces of Richard's offering from Episode 10.

Adam: He had set up stuff and asked if he could make something up with everyone else. Thankfully, everyone did agree to come back for short little cameos as ghost hands and for some, bodies, but it did make filming longer.

Joey: He was such a joy, and his death was such a heartbreak, I think everyone liked him.

The camera cut to after the end of Episode 2 in the lounge with Teala behind the camera.

Off-Screen Crew: Cut!

Richard got off the couch and went to Teala.

Richard: There we go, bring it in. Hope you had fun.
