criscodisco posted:I'm enjoying this so far, but coming from shows like AHS and Walking Dead, it's funny seeing how sad gore is on a primetime network show. In fact, I almost believed that the maid was still alive and killing people since her burns were so comically fake. I think that kinda added to the vibe in this case. This isn't American Horror Story where they're actively trying to disturb you and make you think; they're going more for a winking homage, and the absurd gore and effects play to that. Also, everybody's pretty drat great, but can I fawn over Neckbrace for a bit? Aside from similar obsessive qualities, I don't see a bit of Rachel Berry in Lea Michele's performance, but her clingy death-obsessed weirdo act is amazing here.

wormil posted:I'm sold, I'm all in. I don't even know what's going on but I like it. I think I'm misinterpreting your post, but it's basically a funky mix of Carpenter-esque synth (paying tribute to the show's campy slasher roots) and 90s pop (which serves a thematic function based in how tied this whole mess is to the pledge who bled out giving birth because "Waterfalls" was the sorority's jam). I'm kind of shocked that the two blend together as well as they do. Interesting fact: the series composer is Mac Quayle, last seen/heard burning it down on Mr. Robot alongside everyone else involved with the show.

ShakeZula posted:Yeah I kept waiting for a punchline but it just kept going along straight-faced. Definitely a weird decision to include that. No, that's a classic Glee move. "Well, this scene doesn't really have anything to do with the episode, but it's on my mind, so let's wedge that poo poo in there." Something about setting it to Blondie made it so much better though.

Comrade Fakename posted:Chanel-o-Ween was amazing, but I felt that the girl power speech was the first indicator of Scream Queen's inevitable decent into the Glee-hole. We didn't even need an indicator of that. The indicator is every other show Ryan Murphy had his hands on. Anybody not boarding this train with a five point safety harness, a fireproof suit, and a helmet in preparation for its violent derailment deserves what happens to them next. But yeah, that's our first of many red flags for sure. The difference is, I'm prepared enough to let it roll off my shoulders and enjoy the

Pan Dulce posted:One can only hope. He sucks all the funny out of his scenes, especially when paired with Grace. But Pete comes out more than once on the opening and does the whole wink-y thing in the coffin at the end, so I'm worried he's NEVER going to leave. If we're following the Scream playbook, he's gonna be the/a Red Devil and we'll get to cheer extra hard when Skyler Samuels puts a railroad spike through his eye.

Hey, it's worth mentioning that Ian Brennan co-wrote a zombie apocalypse movie with Leigh Wannell called Cooties, and it stars Elijah Wood, Allison Pill, Rainn Wilson, Jack McBrayer, and Nasim Pedrad as a group of teachers forced to fend off their zombified students. If you're digging Scream Queens for the irreverent humor you should totally rent it; it gets in and out before it can start to grate on you, it's righteously violent, and it's funny as gently caress.

More importantly: How much juice do you think Ryan Murphy has with his friend / Emma Roberts' aunt Julia? Enough that, say, he could talk her into an under-the-radar cameo as Chanel's mother for the finale?
