Nyong’o revealed the story behind the use of Shake it Off in the 2019 horror comedy Little Monsters whilst on Hot Ones. In that movie, Nyong’o plays the upbeat teacher, Miss Caroline. She ends up protecting her class of kids from a zombie outbreak. The song is part of a singalong in the movie when Miss Caroline performs it on the ukulele.“I was going through a lot of self-doubt because it was the second thing I had done. I was getting a little depressed.
When reading the script for Little Monsters, she was excited at the idea of playing it. However, it wouldn’t have happened if Nyong’o hadn’t personally sought to get it in the film. “When they came, and they told me, ‘Aw, no, we can’t get the rights,’ I decided, ‘OK. I’m going to go, I’m going to make a pitch, I’m going to let Taylor know what this song means to me,’ and I told her that story about how it lifted me from an almost depression, and the next thing I knew, it was cleared,”
It’s been five years since that first horror role. Lupita Nyong’o would garner critical acclaim that same year thanks to a dazzling double turn in Jordan Peele’s Us.. She plays Sammy, a woman who joins up with a man named Eric and a cat named Frodo to survive an alien invasion in New York.Neil became a horror fan from just a nightmare-inducing glimpse of the Ghoulies VHS cover and a book on how to draw ghosts. It escalated from there and now that's almost all he writes and talks about.
