"In the first episode, you've met the killer and there's a big clue dropped in the first episode as to who the killer is, so you'd have to go back and really watch it," says Ryan Murphy, who notes that the entire series drops Easter Eggs to horror classics including Heathers, Halloween and Friday the 13th. "But we tell you who it is so you have to figure it out."
Wallace University is rocked by a string of murders. Kappa House, the most sought-after sorority for pledges, is ruled with an iron fist (in a pink glove) by its Queen Bitch, CHANEL OBERLIN (Emma Roberts, “American Horror Story: Freak Show,” “Scream 4”). But when anti-Kappa DEAN MUNSCH (Jamie Lee Curtis, “Halloween,” “A Fish Called Wanda,” “True Lies”) decrees that sorority pledging must be open to all students, and not just the school’s silver-spooned elite, all hell is about to break loose, as a devil-clad killer begins wreaking havoc, claiming one victim, one episode at a time. Part black comedy, part slasher flick, SCREAM QUEENS is a modern take on the classic whodunit, in which every character has a motive for murder…or could easily be the next blood-soaked casualty.
Scream Queens is set to premiere Tuesday September 22 at 8:00 P.M. on Fox.
