If you haven't heard, producer-writer-director Ryan Murphy (
Glee,
American Horror Story) has a new 15-episode horror drama beginning on Fox early next year. Entitled
SCREAM QUEENS, it's another anthology show like
AHS, with the first season revolving around a campus rocked by a spate of murders. Yeah, it sounds like
American Horror Story: Slasher. Or
Scream: The TV Series, which is actually coming next year courtesy of MTV.
Anyway, the good news is that
Scream Queens has cast Emma Roberts (
Scream 4,
AHS) and veteran actress Jamie Lee Curtis—a seminal example of the 'scream queen' descriptor, thanks to her appearances in the
Halloween franchise. She's also starred in horrors
The Fog,
Prom Night and
Terror Train. It would be pretty cool if every season of this show co-starred an old-school horror actress like Curtis, no? Maybe Heather Langenkamp from
A Nightmare on Elm Street next time?
Is that enough to get you excited for this project?
