Scream Season 3 Character Descriptions Released
May 6, 2017
After news broke that the MTV reimagining of the horror classic Scream would undergo a complete reboot for Season 3, fans were left with little to go on. Would the storyline be similar? Would the core group of characters be the same? Answers to such questions were sparse; in fact, there was next to no information. But finally Scream Season 3 is beginning to take shape. As first reported by TVLine, MTV is casting five new characters for the reboot, bringing the original Lakewood Six down to the Lakewood Five, all of whom we can assume will be ruthlessly taunted ...

Scream: 2-Part Halloween Special
Oct 19, 2016
If you were pleading for more of MTV's Scream series, you're in luck! MTV confirmed that the show will return for a third season but also provided us with a Halloween-themed two-parter that gave new direction for Scream. We begin nearly eight months after the conclusion of Season 2, where Kieran is sentenced the maximum sentencing for murdering roughly a dozen people with the help of Piper. Kieran is taken into the court holding cell while waiting for the press to leave; however, a killer in the Brandon James mask strikes and nearly twists the head off an officer and slices Kieran's throat -- before stabbing him once more. As an opening scene, we are already being grante...

Scream: 02x11, Heavenly Creatures
Aug 17, 2016
We're approaching the end of Scream season 2 and everyone has felt loss courtesy of the killer. This week begins with Noah being hospitalized for his wounds, still traumatized by the loss of the girl he began to love. The others hope to comfort him but the podcaster has concluded he's done with his involvement and asks them to remove everything from his room, including the murder-board. While going through the items, a newspaper clipping reveals Eli was present at Will's funeral which is enough to add extra red herring suspicion to him. Audrey finds a photo of Zoe and Noah, taking it to him to share information (which he declines to hear) but he does decide on making one final podcast in ...

Scream: 02x10, The Vanishing
Aug 3, 2016
This week's episode of Scream promised an intense chapter and there was definitely no disappointment - but before we dive into the gory details, let's pick up where we last left off. After finding the body of Piper, Maggie looked over the corpse of her daughter, discovering new incisions through her chest. Even though the sheriff offered her an out, Maggie stuck to her job as the coroner and dove in finding the heart of a pig placed inside. While the two become more certain of a connection to their past, Audrey attempts to deal with hers and a furious Emma. Emma questions her about Piper and discovers she knew about her being Emma's half sibling which is enough to infuriate he...

Scream: 02x09, The Orphanage
Jul 27, 2016
With the episodes of season 2 getting down to the wire, we get closer to unmasking the killer of MTV’s Scream - but before we make anymore guesses, let’s begin with Emma. The episode starts out with Emma in a dream-state, stabbing her friends to death showing no remorse. By the time her mother wakes her up, Emma realizes she is standing in the kitchen clutching a blade and her sanity. In the morning, Emma explains what happened to Kieran who admits if he was able to sleep after the twisted carnival, he probably would have gone through the same thing. Even though skipping school seems plausible, Emma is ready to face Noah for answers but wants to give Audrey the cold (or frigid) shoulder a...

Scream: 02x08, Village Of The Damned
Jul 20, 2016
It's Lakewood's 100th birthday on episode eight of Scream! So how does the town with a murderous reputation celebrate you might ask? An poorly timed carnival to make the likelihood of trouble even higher of course. Before any of the carnival goodness can begin, Audrey wakes up to blood dripping on her face with a message on the ceiling - "12 dead" along with an implication she won't be forgiven. As it is pointed out, there are 11 known dead unless the last is reference to Brandon James or an incident from the past, the most likely scenario (creepy photo, Troy, etc.) Still included in the "Lady of the Lake" pageant, Brooke asks for the accompaniment of her friends with everything...

After the killer's public announcements, Scream has every character on edge and a few familiar faces in jeopardy on this week's episode - plus major points for a chase scene! The beginning of the seventh episode shows Eli undergoing a daily routine to start his morning... Except for the fact that it's in someone else's house, while he watches them sleep with a knife in hand. As Emma gets ready for school, her and her mother are visited by the police who inform them that Riley's emails came from Emma's laptop. She finally tells the police about the farm with pictures of her, and they decide to further investigate (with suspicious glances between Maggie and sheriff Acosta.) After...

Scream: 02x05, Dawn Of The Dead
Jun 28, 2016
Last week's episode ended on a massive reveal for the survivors of the first season, proving to them that another killer is waiting to make their move. The episode begins with a school undergoing a lockdown to try and locate Jake's killer, with chaos causing everyone a sense of fear. Emma and Audrey find their way to Brooke as she's being photographed by Maggie for evidence of the scene. Brooke is seemingly numb and in a state of shock after being drenched in her boyfriends blood with his mangled corpse being dropped at her feet. The only words she can manage are her regret about her last moments with Jake - so nobody is in a place to make her feel anything other than grief. An...

This week's episode titled "Vacancy" brings Audrey face to face with the consequences of her actions... The loss of the beloved Jake.

She notices an array of old furniture arranged along with numerous childhood photos and newspaper clippings, right before she notices a hooded figure that runs a different direction as Emma lets out a scream and makes an escape out the front door. A very smart Brooke makes the decision to stay away from the screams, grabbing Emma and speeding off hastily. When Emma fills her mother in on the discovery, Maggie confirms that they have both been to the James family farm which proves she can’t easily be...

Scream is finally back horror lovers! After learning that Emma's half sister Piper Shaw was behind the murders of season 1, we pick up three months later to discover how the survivors (known as the Lakewood 6) have managed to overcome the trauma of being targeted by a psychopath. The episode opens with a nod to Scream 2 and 4, showing a slasher movie with a motive derived from "slut shaming." We find Audrey has gotten a job as an usher at a Lakewood theatre, and things begin to get dicey when she gets a series of text messages from an unknown number promising to see her soon. Noah calls his best friend and says he's going to pick her up so they can arrive to Emma's welcome home p...

Neve Campbell Discusses The Possibility Of Future 'Scream' Films
Mar 7, 2016
If you have an appreciation for the horror genre, you should have a massive love for the slasher film series Scream, originally written by Kevin Williamson and directed by the late Wes Craven. After Scream 4, we hoped it would spark another trilogy like they had discussed, but years went by with nothing - and the unfortunate passing of Craven seemed like it was the end of the Scream film era in many ways. Surprisingly enough, Neve Campbell recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly and discussed her thoughts on the chance of a possible Scream 5, saying: “Wes was so responsible for the success of it and the brilliance of it, and he was a dear, dear frie...

MTV's Scream Receives New Showrunners
Nov 12, 2015
Well Scream fans… I have some disconcerting news. After a phenomenal first season that I fell in love with from beginning to end, fans like myself couldn’t help but wonder what would be next for the MTV horror series based on the cult classic films by Wes Craven. The first season altered the rules of horror by having its core group survive (which was a brilliant decision on the showrunners' part), but, apparently, the people who have been bringing us a great adaptation won’t be around in the same capacity for Season 2. It was announced that Season 1 showrunners Jill Blotevogel and Jaime Paglia will be ...

Scream Season Finale Review: Revelations
Sep 2, 2015
Scream has officially ended its first season, and to say the finale (titled Revelations) was a wild ride would be a massive understatement. After introducing an assortment of questions and suspects, we learned just about everything we could have hoped in the first season finale, and it was stellar conclusion that gave plenty of horror based fun. From beginning to end, it feels as if it’s creating an authentic horror finale with a true cinematic experience by driving viewers up the wall using nerve wracking suspense, and satisfying chase scenes that are the backbone of slasher stories. Emma is faced with multiple suspects in the fi...

Scream: 01x09, The Dance

We are approaching the ending of Scream, and my paranoia is at an all-time high. With Seth Branson (or…Seth Palmer) in custody, everyone assumed they could return to their daily lives and begin to find some semblance of safety, but in Scream it’s never that simple. Episode 9, a Halloween themed episode titled “The Dance” begins with a flashback of over a year ago, when the present day killer broke into the Lakewood County Municipal Records. The killer, wearing all black, sneaks his/her way through the building that also integrates the killer’s POV (courtesy of director Ti West.) where they eventually locate a box of evidence from the Brandon James case. What is this hooded figure looking ...
