Holy Hell! I wasn’t sure what to expect
from Ryan Murphy’s new scream fest which premiered on FOX last night, but least
we forget, Ryan Murphy does know a thing or two about horror already. Murphy is
the brains behind American Horror Story on FX. The difference between the shows
is Scream Queens is less gore (less than AHS) and more tongue in cheek humor.
The show is set on a college campus and,
everyone who has a pulse knows college campuses are the incubators for slasher
films. Emma Roberts, a regular on American Horror Story, is the queen of the
sorority house where everyone there is called Chanel followed by a number to
designate their rank.
The series created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk
and Ian Brennan stars Emma Roberts, Skyler Samuels, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin,
Glen Powell, Oliver Hudson and, last but not least, the original scream queen, Jamie
Lee Curtis.
Jaime Lee Curtis shines as Dean Cathy
Munsch. Her sarcastic conversations with Emma Roberts’ Chanel Oberlin drip
venom and humor.
The pilot revolves around a student, who
twenty years earlier delivered a baby before dying and, the killer who is
stalking the girls of Kappa Kappa Tau Sorority.
The pilot was kick ass funny with enough
scares and twists to make even the most avid horror zombie enjoy the show. My rating for the show is four stars!
