Scream Queens
Season 1 Episode 3: “Chainsaw”
Written and directed by Ian Brennan
Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, Ian Brennan
Starring Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Nasim Pedrad, Oliver Hudson, Skyler Samuels, Keke Palmer, Billie Lourd, Nick Jonas
FOX
Air Date: Tuesday, September 29th, 2015, 8pm Last week Scream Queens sliced, diced, and mowed into TV screens all over the country. The new horror comedy series created by the combined minds that gave us Glee and American Horror Story, is a wonderful combo of 80s slasher, and college sex comedy. 20 years earlier, a Kappa sister died after having a bathtub baby during a sorority bash. So obviously, we are looking for who might be that now 20-year old baby, and thus our likely murder suspect. We met the Chanels of Kappa House, led by Chanel #1, Emma Roberts, who must’ve watched Heathers and Mean Girls, and taken good notes on how to be a Queen B. Her arch nemesis is Dean Munsch, the incomparable Jamie Lee Curtis, who is on a mission to reign in Kappa House, and her plan is open admission to the sorority, and anyone who wants to join. You could totally see the elements of Glee here, as we welcome some truly “interesting” and overtly stereotypical girls. There’s a black girl, an angry lesbian, a nerd with a back brace, a deaf girl and oh yeah, the typically gorgeous, but oh so plain lead girl, Grace (Skyler Samuels), whose dead mom was a Kappa. So what’s the “scream” in Scream Queens??? Well, it turns out someone wearing the Wallace University Red Devil mascot costume just happens to be going around and murdering Kappas, with everything from a knife to a lawnmower. And with the second episode entitled “Chainsaw”, well… it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s about to happen. Spoilers ahead!

Air Date: Tuesday, September 22nd, 2015, 8pm Scream Queens is the new horror/comedy series on FOX that debuts tonight. It certainly lives up to its name, featuring an A-list cast of young actresses, whose pipes are put to the test as a costumed serial killer stalks Wallace University, and attacks the girls of Kappa House. Oh yeah, Dean Cathy Munsch is played by the original “scream queen” herself, Jamie Lee Curtis. The show was created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan, the guys who brought us both Glee and American Horror Story. And Scream Queens is just that: a happy and ridiculous marriage of those two shows. Spoilers below, plus a video of screams, aptly named “Scream Queens Super-Sized Main Title Sequence.”

| ‘Cooties’ Trailer: The Kids Are Not All Right
Very rarely do you see children in zombie movies and TV shows, and even when you do, it’s just one or two of them. With the upcoming movie Cooties, the kids are the only zombies, and they appear to be hungry for more than just a few juicy chicken nuggets. Anyone who has ever grown up is familiar with the highly contagious but not at all real opposite sex disease, cooties. But in this movie, cooties is real, and it is turning the kids at an elementary school into the vicious and violent undead. The movie stars Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill, and comes from the minds of Saw co-creator Leigh Whannell and Glee co-creator Ian Brennan. You can read more about the movie and check out the first official trailer below.

| ‘Scream Queens’: Emma Roberts Teases New FOX Horror-Comedy (Video)
The people behind American Horror Story and Glee, two diametrically opposed televisions series that are both entertaining in their own way, are bringing a new horror-comedy TV show to FOX this Fall with Scream Queens. FOX has released the first teaser for Ryan Murphy‘s new network television series, which you can watch here below. The video sees star Emma Roberts, who has been part of the cast of the FX horror anthology America Horror Story, sporting sorority attire and an attitude, approaching the camera as she blows a bubble with her bubble gum. From this short teaser, we can deduce Roberts’ character is in a sorority (you can see the Sorority house in the background), is perhaps a mean girl, and possibly a future scream queen (or maybe a “Final Girl”).
