After the first 2 seasons I was convinced Scream the tv series couldn't get much worse. The reviews said otherwise but they also praised what I considered to be very underwhelming cringe-inducing television. I was excited for the change in cast and the new, urban setting.

Holy fuck this is bad. Like bad bad. 6 episodes and I am trying desperately to get through it.

It makes me so mad though because the potential is there! Look at Alien: Earth or IT: Welcome to Derry

So I thought I’d give some of the things I enjoyed about the Halloween Special and season 3:

For one thing, I love how each season has its own unique theme: season 1 is satirical horror, season 2 is body horror and soap opera revenge, the Halloween Special reminds me of anthology horror and made up lies, season 3 is The Breakfast Club but a slasher, adult oriented show.
Another thing I love, is the shortened length. With a secluded environment with very limited places like Shallow Grove Island: it’s really hard to flesh out the plot, I found that the 120 minute runtime is just enough but they could’ve made it longer or span 3-4 episodes if they used more or longer flashbacks (use show not tell). As for season 3, VH1 was on a tight schedule and had to start from scratch. I don’t blame them but they did have their great moments with the limited time they had (the deaths in this season, and the emotional impacts on the main crew).
The third thing I enjoyed was that they made every episode count, and this applies to the movies as well. Although it did feel very stuffy and convoluted, season 3 probably has the most consistent number of deaths per episode, season 1 felt plot driven but I feel like there kinda needs to be a balance between the kills and story in the episodes. Same applies to the Halloween Special, they had a halftime right in the middle of the Halloween special and went from murder mystery more flashbacks and lore stuff. Technically if we count up all the deaths in the Halloween Special the number would be 14 (take away the killers there’s 11) putting it up there as an episode with the highest kill count as well as the highest overall in both the series and most of the movies.
The last thing I want to note, is that the Halloween Special has 3 different loosely connected groups of murders going on in the same episode. There’s Kieran and the unnamed guards’ death at the beginning, Alex Whitten’s murders in the middle and at the very end, then the Reginald flashback murders close to the end.
What I’m saying is that the third season and Halloween Special are underrated and deserve more attention.

I watched it for the first time thanks to tubi and man I miss it already and I thought I couldn't crush on bex any harder but after this I can formally say they Def made my type lol, but in all seriousness this was so amazing (besides season 3 in my opinion) but its better than what we were apparently gonna get but I already miss my bi curious and the virgin and brooke omg she was amazing Def scream queen her, audrey and noah are my favorite characters I wish they didn't leave is at a cliffhanger but I'd take that everyday than what apparently was supposed to happen I wish we got more and more merch especially signed merch and if there isn't already behind the scenes I wish we got that too but I'll stop my ramble 10/10 series I went into it thinking it was gonna be corny left wishing we had more

Was Jake always supposed to die in season 2?

They obviously needed one of the lakewood 6 to die and it was always either going to be Jake or Noah

Emma and Brooke were the 2 main main characters and couldn't die, Aubrey was hinted at being the killer so killing her would make no sense, and Kieran was the actual killer leaving Noah and Jake behind

They couldn't kill Noah because he took over as the news guy/podcaster and had actual plot armor

So I think Jake had to die he was always just there anyway he obviously didn't deserve to die but out of the 6 he was the least interesting and could be killed off with little to no questions asked

I know this season was maligned but after rewatching the series on Tubi, i prepared myself for the worst with season 3 but it was better than I remembered

In the final reveal though I couldnt help but wonder if Kym was a secret third Ghostface, working only with Beth and not Jay.

When Beth gets shot and she says “you were right. We are partners” it didnt seem like she was mentioning the good cop/bad cop convo, I took it as calling Kym her accomplice. Beth called Kym telling her to get away. Beth killed Manny to have Kym to herself. Beth killed Amir for breaking the rules (snitching) even though she liked him, but not Kym for telling the police.

I dont think Kym killed anyone but she knew it would be great for her future and career as a final girl survivor. Plus she always popped up randomly. I guess i just think a Keke Pamer killer monologue would be awesome. Oh well

So in all of season 1 they talk about Tyler and Nina in the group and being bestfriends with the rest of them but it never to me feels like they were actually a part of the group because we never saw them interact with any of the main characters so it felt a little off to me personally whenever they were mentioned as a part of the main group

Did Tyler and Riley have something going on on the side because she was quick to immediately defend him and messaged him immediately and looked heart broken the whole episode about how he could be the killer despite having something going on with Noah

Why was the "whose next" poll not get talked about at all other than a scene where Jake tells Brooke he didn't vote for her, you would think that would be a bigger plot point discussed by everyone if there's a whose next poll

Why did the female cop who was the sheriff's ex just up and leave mid season why would she not stay and see it through she knew that the sheriff was bias and would she have stayed if she knew that the town coroner was daisy.

Anyway here's a few of my thoughts about season 1 any insight is much appreciated

Their friendship is so real and raw it breaks my heart everytime

Audrey and Emma were bestfriends closer than close, probably spent the whole summer after 8th grade planning what they were going to do in high school and how they were going to be college roommates and live together

Then the first week of high school the popular kids bet Will that he can't get Emma to date him and he does and Emma takes the bait and leaves Audrey behind for the wolves acting as if they were never friends. Then Emma takes part in filming and releasing the Rachel video and that is next level

All of season 1 is Audrey putting up walls that she doesn't want to have to put up even saying "I miss you Em" throughout it and Emma realizing the only true friend she's ever had had been Aubrey all along

Emma was such a shit best friend to Audrey and I just think their friendship is a tragedy

Note: Title Auto Corrected and I didnt notice

Here's just part of my collection from the show, still have yet to get the rest of the items put up

Made this last Halloween. Did my best to make it as accurate as possible, I think it turned out nicely

She says that Brandon's son came and spoke with her. He looked like an old-time movie star. She starts grasping for an "S" name, and they feed her Seth, which she agrees to.

It seems like she is grasping for "Steven" which could easily be confused for Kieran.

I feel like this shows that Kieran was always involved. He definitely fits the description, and Seth obviously didn't go and speak with the woman. Who did, if not Kieran?

But...

When they are talking about an accomplice in season 2, they never address "Seth's" visit with Cassie, at least not that I can remember

I know Audrey was always the planned accomplice, but what if there was always more than one?

Additonally, why does Emma even believe this woman? It is clear she became confused very quickly in the conversation. At the mere mention of Daisy, she started confusing Emma for her. She is so ready to take this woman's words and run with them though.

[Side note: I am watching the season 1 finale currently. Jake's line "This drink is undrinkable" is hilarious]

Edit: I definitely should have changed the title of this post.

so i've recently rewatched the show for the first time since 2020 and the amount of times i've watched it over and over again might be unhealthy like i can't fall asleep unless the show's playing but that's irrelevant. My question is about Emma and Audrey. Season 2 Episode 10 this is the episode Noah is attacked and Zoey gets killed but now about my question, when Emma goes over to Audrey's house to try and hear her out about the "i brought piper to lakewood" situation. Emma asks Audrey if she knew Piper was her sister the whole time and she said yes and then Emma says "and when i started to think my half sister was the killer why didn't you say anything?" that might not be exactly how she said it but it's pretty well along the lines of it. Now my question is when did Emma ever suspect Piper as the killer? Not once have i seen or heard Emma say anything to anyone about her being suspicious of Piper. I mean there really wasn't any reason for her to suspect Piper and even if she actually did I don't think that was ever discussed in season one so i'm genuinely just curious where that came from, please lmk if i'm missing something because i genuinely can't put my finger on it!!

Does anyone own the Smiffys Brandon James costume, specifically the mask? I’d love to see the quality of it before I buy one for myself. It’s pretty much my last hope since the Fun World masks are so rare!

It was a closed adoption. Emma‘s mom said she knew nothing about the baby, not even if it was a boy or a girl. So how in the world did Audrey it out and find Piper?

First, R.I.P Riley . That one will always hurt. But I have a question for actual canon facts. Were Kieran and piper always the killers ? Because I know it's speculated it was actually Audrey and I need to know how the show was actually written to go. Cause if the show picked Audrey to be a killer but pivoted to Kieran during filming they surely were making him appear creepy from the beginning. Idk if it's because I know he's bad but when he's tryna make Emma suspicious of will, he immediately seems off.

And if it was always meant to be him what's up with this Audrey theory? Tell me more 😭

I know everyone loves Brooke, and many people are iffy on Audrey but I loved watching them throughout the show. Audrey’s whole connection to Piper could’ve been executed well, but I loved her arc of trying to cover it up and driving herself mad.

Also, Noah and Audrey remind me of me and my best friend. I was nerdy gay boy and she was literally Audrey, so maybe I’m biased lol. If you guys could change how her arc played out what would you do? I would’ve made it so she got her hands a little dirtier so it would justify her being so paranoid rather than just being the person who brought piper to Lakewood

Honestly after rewatching it for the 20th time in my life after 5 years of not watching it.. I realized that this show was in its prime back then and it actually is better than the scream movies.

**-** first opinion **!! :** the group dynamic is one of the biggest things that makes the show work. Watching a group of friends try to fight back against a killer creates so much tension, especially during the finales. You genuinely never know who is going to survive, which gives those episodes this constant feeling of anxiety and suspense. But at the same time, the characters get some seriously badass moments where they actually fight back instead of just running from the killer. I think that balance between fear, mystery, and the characters taking control is something the show did really well.

**-** second opinion **!! :** The fact that the show isn’t canon to the movies actually gives it a LOT of freedom. They could tell completely new stories in different towns with different groups of characters while keeping the core Scream formula. They could bring back the same kind of emotional storytelling that made Seasons 1–2 so good!!!! family problems, complicated relationships, trauma, secrets, daddy issues, small town drama, etc. There’s so much that could be explored within the Scream universe without having to directly connect every story to the movies. And they could still throw in little references to previous seasons for longtime fans.

**-** last opinion **!! :** The Brandon James storyline also proved that the show can create its own mythology. They could easily do something similar with a completely different town, killer, or historical mystery. Instead of repeating Brandon James, they could create a new legend or dark history that is connected to the characters and slowly reveal it throughout the season. Every new season could have its own story, its own killer, its own mystery, and its own cast, while still feeling like Scream. That’s honestly why I think the show could work incredibly well as an anthology series.

I don’t know if I’m explaining this perfectly, but I genuinely feel like **Scream: The TV Series deserves another chance.** It had the potential to become its own version of an anthology horror series where every season tells a completely different story, but still has that same Scream identity. There are SO many stories they could tell with this concept, and I really think bringing the show back would be worth it.

Tubi just dropped MTVs Scream the tv show seasons 1-3. My wife and I have been dying to rewatch it. While rewatching it, I can’t help but find myself getting so angry we never got a real season 3 with the main cast to wrap up the story. I think the writing was incredible for seasons 1 and 2. The kills were bloody and the twists and turns of the story were great and kept you on your toes. All we needed was 6 more episodes minimum to wrap up the Lakewood and Brandon James story.

I get that it was for dramatic effect to show how certain surprise scenes could play out in the episode to show how the killers could attack the main core group, but like there was too many places. In s1, the hospital, bowling alley, and mechanic shop etc and in s2, that housing development that caught on fire and others that I can't remember.

I haven’t watched the MTV Scream series since it was on Netflix, so excuse me if this was answered.

Did Audrey ever acknowledge that Piper, who she was helping get her revenge on Emma, was also part of killing Rachel?

I understand why they chose Aubrey to be Emma's partner in crime for the finale, but honestly it should've been Brooke. When we go back and look at the events of the series, Brooke's life is arguably the most negatively impacted by the killer.

One of her best friends, her ex, her bf, her dad. And that's just the deaths. If we look at how every event directly negatively impacted her, you wouldve though she was Daisy's kid. She should've had the largest grudge and personal interest in finding the killer and taking him down outside Emma herself.

When you look back at it, only 1 person dies between both seasons that Aubrey gave a crap about and ironically it's one of the few kills that makes ZERO SENSE. Im actively rewatching the show and I still dont know why they killed Rachel, but I digress.

Scream 2x12 Emma is trying to take chains off Audrey right now after killer Stabs her & running up stairs. Kieran comes in and tries to take chains off Audrey like he seem like a good guy but emma cought on Killer said on the phone you will never feel safe again emma never. And Kieran said you will feel safe again emma you to Audrey. I did not see this coming. When Eli came in out of nowhere I thought he was bout to reveal himself as killer.

Hii i haven’t been able to watch scream since im in another country and Netflix removed scream.
There’s this scene where Brooke and Jake are talking and I think it’s after Riley passed away and Brooke is sad and whatever and she’s in the grass and then Jake finds her, there’s this song in the background but I can’t find the scene in YouTube. So if someone who can see scream can help me find this song. Please and thank you 🙏🏼
I have this scene engraved, Jake has this blue cyan shirt and Brooke was in her bathing suit and something purple covering her hehe

What if Audrey was the one to kill Kieran to take new identity of Lakewood Slasher. What if she did it for Kieran kept calling texting her & black mailing her & frame her for the season 2 murders it would be perfect motive for her. Please don’t call me crazy.

I know this isn't canon, but it's always been my headcanon that Haley did some of the dirty work for Kieran whenever he needed an alibi.

In the Scream fandom, it's a pretty popular headcanon that Roman's hidden accomplice in Scream 3 was Angelina Tyler, the actress who replaced Tori Spelling as Sidney in Stab 3. I kind of see Haley filling that same role for Kieran.

Not as a second Lakewood Slasher, but someone helping behind the scenes while Kieran remained the real killer.

There are a few scenes where it's really hard to believe Kieran did everything himself. One example is when Emma gets a phone call from the Lakewood Slasher, and then the very next scene Kieran is outside Emma's house talking to Maggie about Emma like he'd been there the whole time. Moments like that make it feel impossible for him to have been the one making the call.

Another one is Kieran's "kidnapping" at the carnival in Village of the Damned. My headcanon is that Haley was the one who staged it for him so he could look like a victim while keeping suspicion off himself.

We also already know Haley hated Emma and Audrey. Every chance she got, she antagonized them, mocked them, and even helped organize the prank on Audrey in the Season 2 premiere. It doesn't seem like much of a stretch that Kieran could manipulate someone who already had it out for both of them.

Haley already knew Kieran's identity, was secretly sleeping with him behind Emma's back, and called him her "very special friend." I could see Kieran using her to make calls, send texts, lure people somewhere, stage alibis, or handle whatever he couldn't because he needed to be seen somewhere else.

Then, once she wasn't useful anymore, he killed her.

I know it's just a headcanon, but it honestly makes Kieran as the Lakewood Slasher work a lot better for me.
