So one of the shows I was most excited about this fall season was Scream Queens. Its a really great horror movie satire that pokes fun at some shows like it and... its just an interesting show. Its created by Ryan Murphy from American Horror Story and Glee and it is sort of like a combo of the two. Its a lot bitchier than Glee, and its definitely a funny comedy... American Horror story is kind of a serious comedy depending on the season... There are definitely a lot of funny elements to most American Horror Story seasons, and for the most part they end pretty happily... so there is that too.
Alright so onto Scream Queens... it was a lot better than I was expecting it to be! Its really exciting and super funny and a very dark parody. I thought it was really just as brilliant as Scream... it was just awesome. There is a scene where the killer goes after someone... trying not to spoil to much... and he texts her asking if she wants to dance with the devil and then she texts him back and they keep going back and forth even though he's clearly trying to kill her and she should just call 911. And she tweets that she's going to die... its just really funny. It was like a modern even more ridiculous take on the beginning scene of Scream. It was really awesome. Really brilliant.
It was also a 2 hour premier with quite a high body count. Including two flashback scenes there are like... 6 and a half deaths I think. The half death isn't really a death at all... but its a good twist to the show. The deaths were all pretty scary and clever. Some were just stabbed to death, some were "accident" deaths and some were just people in the wrong place at the wrong time type of thing... It seemed to all be framing Emma Roberts character for it... unless she is actually the killer... or one of the killers. I think there may be more than one... and it would be obvious if it were her... but it kind of makes sense.
And its easy to look at and try to figure out the killer or killers because... everyone has a motive, everyone is suspicious and its just really intriguing. It's equally funny and scary which just kind of makes it more funny. Its really well done and I think its a Must Watch that is turning out to be one of my favorite shows.
So yeah. I've only seen like an episode or 2 of Pretty Little Liars... but this really reminds me of that show only its way better. It's not really a guilty pleasure because its self aware of what it is. I am excited to see more of it. I wonder what they'll do in further seasons. I don't see this going on for that many seasons... but at the same time I could see it having a time line similar to Breaking Bad where several seasons may be one year of college or something like that. I could see it being an anthology like AHS... but I think that would get boring pretty fast.
I was really impressed with this show. I an totally see it being amazing and I'm already super excited for tonight's episode!
Byeeee!
