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.

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?

That's it.. We want season 3, it's like life is always on the opposite side. When a silly series has 10 seasons and yet when we have an exciting TV show they just cut it and leave it uncompleted. That's not fair

"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!

Scream Queens is a show that Iv'e held off on watching for the longest time as I truly didn't think it would be for me. After years of avoiding this show, I was pleasantly surprised when my girlfriend finally convinced me to watch it. Whether it was the low expectations or even the fsvtgoing in having no clue what I was about to watch but, I found this show to be very entertaining and fun. While this may not be the show for everyone as it is "over the top" I personally find its craziness to be its best feature given how intentional it was in order to poke fun at the horror/slasher genre. Speaking of how "over the top" this show can be, that aspect shines more than ever when referring to the characters themselves. Characters that would normally be ridiculous, or unbearable, are complimented by hilarious writing and incredible acting transforming those "unbearable" character into characters that are stupidly hilarious and fun to watch. This show manages to be an odd horror comedy while simultaneously being an interesting murder mystery. Long story short this show definitely left me wanting more and I was very bummed to find out that it had been canceled after only two seasons.
