Scream Queens

I admit it, I'm a grown up woman and I love this show. It is intentionally meant to be campy and silly as it is mocking the horror genre and typical themes of those types of movies or shows. So there are stereotypes all over the place, but for me, that is part of the charm and what makes it funny. And there are so many little jokes and references that younger people might not get and maybe that is why some don't appreciate it. But I find it to be very clever.

The basic storyline is that of a killer or killers stalking and killing girls on a college campus in a particular sorority. Who is/are the killer/killers? Well, I have a feeling we will be led down a path to each person at some point during the series only to find out it isn't them until the ultimate reveal. And while American Horror Story (also by Ryan Murphy) is usually bloody and gory for the shock effect, this is much tamer and much more easy to watch if you aren't into gore.

There is a lot of innuendo and sex references, so may not be appropriate for some younger teens, but nothing over the top. And the dialogue is very fast paced and you will probably want to seriously smack Emma Robert's character after the first few minutes, but her narcissism is what makes it all work. It's all about her. At least in her mind. And you are supposed to hate her, that is the point. She is another stereotype. The typical mean girl leader.

If you like campy horror, you will probably love it.

"FOX's" "Scream Queens" without a doubt has to be one of the wildest and most wicked new series of the TV season! It's a mixed blend of horror, comedy and drama suspense that each week keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat! From creator Ryan Murphy it's really a mix of "American Horror Story" meets "Glee". Anyway set at Wallace University a strange series of murders start to happen and soon it's thought that they are related to past murders from 1995. And the hunted include a group of sexy colored bra wearing sorority girls with witch pledge ice queen Chanel Oberlin(Emma Roberts) leading the way. Good supporting turns are given from other girls played by Abigail Breslin and Lea Michele and the head of it all is the classic scream queen herself Jamie Lee Curtis("Halloween"!)who's tough and no nonsense as the Dean Cathy Munsch. And the slick and silk red devil who's shown committing the blood murders each week just rocks it up with homicide fun! "Scream Queens" is a blast of fun, sex, blood, suspense, and drama it's one series to take a slash at and watch!

This series has the right balance for a comedy with some horror. It's less graphic than American Horror Story and less hectic than Glee. The horror isn't as sickening as AHS so a wider audience can watch it. The pace is less hectic and slapstick than Glee. The one liners are funnier and you have time to digest the jokes. It's more comedy than horror and I'm fine with that.

Emma Roberts is the queen bee of a sorority where murders are taking place. She is given a lot of the good lines and she delivers them quite well. You can see her learning to be a comedienne here. She looks prettier than in AHS. Abigail Breslin is a bit under utilized. Lea Michelle doesn't dominate the other cast and that's good.

Jamie Lee Curtis has a juicy role as Dean of the school. The guys seem a bit nondescript despite a Nick Jonas guest appearance.

Pleasantly surprised.

Great, just a fantastic TV show After my sister trying to convince me to watch scream queens i finally gave into her and said i would watch the show just so once i finish it i could say "i told you so" because i knew i would hate the show, never have i been so wrong.

Even the first episode is amazing and i have read so many reviews saying it is stupid and poorly made but some people just don't understand that's the point. scream queens plays like an old slasher movie in a funny way. Its not meant to be taken to serious which some people just don't get. scream queens plays into the clichés like the jock and his girlfriend the mean blonde popular girl who would rather die then chip her nail polish, and i think its hilarious.

If American horror story was a bit to gory for you or glee was a bit to dull give scream queens a shot I think its a great show and it doesn't hurt to a least watch an episode.

This is a brilliantly written, directed and shot series. I was shocked and deeply disappointed when it was cancelled. I miss it still. The photography and set design...along with the costumes were superb. It fascinated and of course repelled me in the parts it was supposed to! It was hilarious and biting in its take on our superficial ways. Sigh. I don't supposed anyone would ever bring it back?
