Going into this one I was iffy. It’s not because I don’t love Halloween. I’m a huge fan of Michael Myers. He’s my favorite fictional slasher. It’s because of the X-Men-like way, albeit without time travel or a flux capacitor, the filmmakers want us to shrug off the former Halloween sequels ever happened. Now I […]

Because writer/director/producer Ryan Murphy was not busy enough with American Horror Story and American Crime Story, he also decided to follow up Fox’s Glee with another over-the-top series that takes on the horror genre to a lighter degree with Scream Queens.
