A fascinating horror series with elements of black comedy created by analogy with the popular American Horror Story. This article will discuss some of the features of the picture, present a brief plot and information about the actors of Scream Queens.

Features

Actresses who act in horror films or play victims pursued by maniacs, monsters, are called "scream queens" in the cinematic environment. This is exactly the role of Jamie Lee Curtis - the lead actress. Scream queens (actors) are notable for their high-pitched screams when confronted with something terrible, which is also happening in this project.

Scream Queens is a parody of horror films, similar to American Horror Story. Directors work simultaneously on one and the second project. The script of the series was mainly written for the leading roles – Emma Roberts and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Storyline

The pilot episode of Scream Queens shows the events of twenty years ago. At a party at the Kappa Sisterhood, aloneof the girls gives birth in the bath of a child. Her friends (and these are typical representatives of the “golden youth”, arrogant playboys) do not want to miss the song they like and decide to help the woman in labor later. They do not have time to save the girl, she dies in the bathroom from bleeding.

The action is transferred to the present day, representatives of the sisterhood are in the interests of the university administration, which requires that anyone can be admitted to a closed group. At the same time, a maniac appears dressed as the university's mascot, the Red Devil (KD). Gradually, the details of the incident from twenty years ago are revealed, and the CD keeps everyone in fear, killing one by one.

In the second season of the series, the actors of the "Scream Queens" no longer operate in the Kappa sisterhood house and the university, but find themselves on the territory of the hospital. The main villain in the sequel is no longer a CD, but a Green Monster, and the girls work as nurses and assistants to doctors. In each episode, there is a patient with a supposedly incurable disease, but the girls end up curing him. The plot of the series "Scream Queens" (season 2) does not pretend to be reliable in medical terminology, but this does not make it less exciting.

The same role was preserved for Jamie Lee Curtis in Scream Queens.

Billie Lourd rose to fame after her role as Chanel 3 in Scream Queens. The appearance in the space trilogy "Star Wars" (opera) consolidated the girl's rapid career. Billy was born in 1992, there are movie and show business stars in her family. Lourdes studied psychology and religion at the university, but decided to continue the acting dynasty.

Leah became a celebrity with her role on Glee, and was immediately invited to TV programs and even invited to sing at the White House.
