Scream franchise
 

Whats everyones thoughts on this? Like American Pie, the Scream franchise was kind of my bread and butter growing up. Even 3, which is easily the most ridiculed. It's all good in my books.

There's now talks of a Scream TV series being made which has apparently been given the green light. I think Scream can be done right(even better) on a television medium than film, so I'm hoping it gets the right creative crew behind it and doesn't hold back on the blood.

I like the Scream movies. Its fun to see who the killer is.

I didn't know about a TV show. I assume its for HBO, IFC or some other premium style channel since it really wouldn't work anywhere else being so violent.

EDIT: Just looked it up. Its for MTV and Ghostface may be a real ghost. This makes me excited because this is the exact idea I had for a new Scream movie...that Ghostface was an actual evil spirit.

Itd be cool if he looked more ghoulish. Like the costume coming to life.

Huh. I didn't know about them going the supernatural route for the TV series. And honestly? Not too happy about it either. I like a good ghost story as much as the next guy but I also feel that it's very out of place for Scream. The idea of a season long "who dunnit?" Scream slasher would have been awesome. Now it's a ghost? Hmm. Then why and how is it even Scream? Such a bummer.

That being said, as disappointed as I am, I'm always willing to see new interpretations to things I like. Who knows? It might be great and create a new legacy for Ghostface to live on. We'll see.

Well I always thought the idea of him being an actual ghost was cool because it would be a different kind of twist. Plus the costume coming to life and taking on a more monsterish look would be really creepy imo.

Ya a season long who-done-it? would have worked but then it is kinda like alot of other crime shows on TV in a way. I imagine being an actual ghost also helps tone down the violence since its for regular TV.

I posted this idea a long time ago on IMDb and someone told me the I Know What You Did Last Summer direct-to-video movies did something similar but I don't know how. I never saw them. Works better for Scream anyway cause its a ghost costume.

I guess necromancing time?

watched the first episode of the TV show, it's pretty good. classic scream subtext + silent killer

Ya I saw the first episode and it was good. I wonder if they still plan on using the supernatural thing. I kinda hope so.

The new mask is nice variation. The more human style ghost is creepy.

My memory on the second Scream movie is hazy, but the first and third Scream movies are okay.

And of course I liked the first Scary Movie, particularly this one old scene.

I love the Scream movies. I was very happy with how good the 4th one turned out, after the first one it's my second favorite of the series.
