Fox's SCREAM QUEENS casts Emma Roberts and Jamie Lee Curtis

Tuesday 9 December 2014

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?
