SCREAM: The TV Series

I saw the 7 minute clip they released last week. Looks decent. I"ll definitely check it out.

Yes if there are hot guys in first episode then I will continue to give 5-6 episode more chance

Lesbians making out.

Half naked chicks.

Super-speed texting.

Fumbling with Siri.

Graphic gore.

What the fuck is this bullshit? That deformed, lovesick outcast crap is more out of VALENTINE than Scream.

"Some guys like sports. I like serial killers. And Brandon James is my Dallas Cowboys."

That's their crisp, Williamson-esque dialogue? Yiikes.

Jake is fucking hot. Damn.

I see they're taking a cue from Stalker and making hauntingly creepy remakes of songs

Well, it was surprisingly good I thought.

That seems to be the popular trend now. I've seen it on several other TV shows and commercials. Frankly, I'm already tired of it.

It's not going to be easy to sustain interest over 13 (?) episodes, considering the average stalker movie is about 90 minutes (the length of two episodes).

The first 8 minutes showed the main action, the rest was all set up and no execution (literally).

The teenage cast is all stereotypes. The back story of Daisy/Brandon seems to be important because Emma's mother mentions her husband leaving 'after the attack' .......... so there's going to be some type of Scream 3 payoff with Emma turning out to be the serial killer's daughter, I guess.

Introductory episode, so way too soon to tell who the killer(s) are ..........but Emma got a phone call and Audrey (and her girlfriend) was being watched by someone wearing the mask, so .....

I guess it gets points for the "meta" dialog where the character says making a TV series out of a slasher movie is a dumb idea :-)

Looks like it's going to be 10 episodes. Next week, the Courtney Cox/Gale Weathers character turns up. Her name is Piper.

Just watched the pilot and only the first 6-8 minutes were marginally interesting.

If they had, it might have been more interesting. That show was produced by Kevin Williamson and had more of the flavor of the Scream films than this does.

Unfortunately the leads, Maggie Q and Dylan McDermott, were unappealing and their characters were unsympathetic. Otherwise it might have lasted longer than one season.

If they get Jake naked for all the remaining episodes, I'm in.

Ugh. The second episode was baaaaad ............... starting off the episode with the murder is not a great idea. Everything that follows becomes pretty boring. It's like a bad 90210 with a body count. Hello ?? We get it already, Emma is Bradley whathisface's daughter ........and in each episode Noah appears to be 'in jeopardy' ? I'm calling him as one of the murderers (especially with that 'fake red herring' last week about the blood on his forehead. And I'll call the second killer as the douche jock whose car Noah 'tagged' ....way to throw suspicion off of the killing duo. NOT.

Next week it looks like someone (supposedly) dies in a car (truck ?) explosion .......... if they don't find a body, of course that will be one of the killers (and since it looked like a truck, I'll say it's douchey jock boy.

Okay, I can't watch this show anymore, with their constant mispronunciation of the word "GIF"... it's pronounced "JIFF" goddammit. Only fucking retards use a hard-G because they don't know any fucking better.

Like nails on a blackboard.

I love the concept of the show, I just don't think it's executing it very well.

I've watched about every teen show from "Buffy" to "Dawson's Creek" to "The O.C." to "90210"... and all I can say is that the characters in the "Scream" TV series are completely generic and 2D in comparison.

The main girl, Emma, is just not as compelling as Neve Campbell. I think the best character is Randy 2.0 (don't remember his character's name). I used to like the lesbian chick, but when her girlfriend was killed, she looked sad like she had been dumped, not devastated and shocked.

Tonight's episode was a little better. I was going to give up if it wasn't.

Not great but good enough I'll hang in there for a while.

This show is shit. I'm out.

only if they have a gay male character like in the movies, if not then no.

Wait.. they have lesbians but no gay men, even though gay men are canon in the Scream universe? LOL. So typical.

[quote]gay men are canon in the Scream universe

I only remember one gay guy, from Scream 4--the one with the webcam headset. There was a strong homoerotic subtext between Skeet Ulrich and the other killer in the original film but nothing spelled out.

Am I forgetting someone?

[quote] Well, it was surprisingly good I thought.

Same here. I think it's going to replace Teen Wolf.

The first season is always make or break, and it's really good right now. There's a good mix of characters and plot.

Only problem is that Teen Wolf has the absolute hottest male characters, and this show is kind of lacking in this department. The guys are marginally cute.

I wish they would hire more Tyler Hoechlin types.

There are two EXTREMELY hot guys on Scream, which puts it in Teen Wolf territory this season anyway. They just don't take their shirts off enough.

test

test again. WTF is Error # 69

R21, I don't think that kid was even really gay, I think he was just throwing that out there as a last ditch effort to avoid getting killed by the killer.

R25 I got that error the other day. It eventually let me post with no changes in text so there was no inexplicably banned word in it.

R21 um the whole CREATOR of the Scream franchise, Kevin Williamson, is an openly gay man.

Good bye

I haven't even used the word i-pod in months! Really, I haven't.

So... the hot dark-haired guy and the hot blond guy (that seem to be evil) have a weird chemistry. I keep expecting them to kiss or something.

No comment about the rich-bitch's dad being a screaming queen in real life? You may remember him as Patrick Stewart's lover who died of AIDS in the movie "Jeffrey"...

Episode Four was the worst yet ....... obviously Noah and Audrey are not the killers, as they had at least two episodes alone where there was no reason for BOTH of them to act remorseful/curious ....... I'd say Noah is involved with an adult character (as he is the one that was 'in jeopardy' in two episodes already)

For the adult he is working with, I'd say it is probably the teacher who always calls on him to do the meta dialogues.

episodes = scenes.

Also still think Brandon James is Emma's real father and was set up as the killer of the original mass murder victims.

Teacher is his brother that Noah was in contact with.

This show hit the skids quickly ........... now at episode six with no killings in episode four or five ....... and episode six had one dream stabbing and one real stabbing (with the victim dragged off)

At this point, with four episodes left, there will be more survivors than victims.

It's actually kinda grown on me. I don't care how badly it compares to the movie, because I don't care anything about the movie. I've seen it, it was good enough to watch a couple times, no desire to see it again. The show does have really bad topical dialogue for the trendy teens, but once you get over that, it has a reasonably compelling storyline. I'd recommend it for a binge.

[quote]um the whole CREATOR of the Scream franchise, Kevin Williamson, is an openly gay man. Good bye

Um, how does that translate into "gay men are canon in the Scream universe"?

Please educate us all instead of just being a snippy cunt.

Why are there no gay characters? So disappointing and a total retcon, considering the movies (at least the 4th one) had a gay character.

They did weasel out on the gay characters. They thought the whole thing being based on an outing video that went viral, and led to a suicide, was enough. And one of the main characters is "bi-curious," but not really gay at all, we're assured, despite the butch hair cut.

Actually the viral video leading to a suicide thing was already used for the horror movie "Unfriended." Scream made better use of it though, even if they stole it.

Sooooooooooo............with three episodes left, there are either going to be a lot of survivors left or a lot of deaths over the next three episodes. I'm thinking a lot of survivors (since there is a second season planned) ............and three killers ..........one adult (Piper) and two teenagers (Noah & Kieran ??)

There are still six living teens and five living adults (six if you count Emma's unseen father)

This just keeps getting more boring. Now they've introduced the abandoned child storyline from 'Scream 3' ............... two episodes left ............ and no one died (again) in the last episode. Should've done six episodes instead of ten.

The end.

For me, it was a bit of a bust. Had the killer figured out long ago ........and the ending set up for a new red herring for season two is a bit boring.

I can't believe how many people on imdb.com believe that XXXXXX is the second killer ! Even though the showrunners have confirmed that they haven't tied any of the killings to them (and that they could just be an accomplice of sorts)

Of course the MTV viewers are all 14 years old, so they don't know any better. I am definitely outside their target audience, but watched it because of the Scream franchise.

Trailer for Scream Ressurection. I didn't realise it'll be on Vh1 instead of MTV. But at least they're using the original Ghostface mask and Roger Jackson is doing the voice.

Wasn't DL Icon Tyler Posey supposed to be in this third season?

^^^ he is. but why did it take them 3 years to finally fart it out?

R43 yes, I think he plays a drug dealer. I remember when they first announced it, they got the wrong Tyler and said it would be Hoechlin instead.

Looks dreadful

I didn't watch the trashy TV show — yet.

But I did buy the Ghost Face DLC for Dead By Daylight last week!

You can change his costume to a Demon Face.

R48 but what about a stoned Ghostface?

Saw the first epi the other night, and fuck a duck every single one of those cunts is so incredibly annoying i can't wait to see them all get shish kebabed in the most gruesome way possible. Was that the feel they were going for? Cuz they fucking nailed it like a $2 whore. ( that being said, the mehican mo is hella cute <3 )

I won't be watching. "Scream" was so refreshing when it came out, and even the first sequel was good. But then I got sick of it, and it hasn't aged well. The idea of that annoying voice saying "WRONG again, SYDNEY!" is kind of nauseating.

I think a Scream reboot would actually do well, since the thing's meta nature lends itself well to commentary on the entire nature of reboots. It didn't hurt that the first movie would likely have been successful just on its own merits, because it was an effective slasher while being an effective meditation on slashers.

I didn't mind Scream 4 but I would have preferred Hayden's character as the lead. Emma Roberts dialogue at the end always makes me cringe.
