Scream Halloween Special TV Show

Decent Essays
Scream season 3 takes its cue from the recent Scream Halloween Special. There is a new psycho killer in town and no one knows who it is. Many speculate that Brandon James is still alive. And the rest are wondering if this third season spells the end of the whole TV show.

Is Scream season 3 going to end the slashing madness? Ever since MTV’s release that the show is going to dwindle down from twelve to six episodes, many begin to wonder. Season 3 is set to premiere sometime in 2017.

The ratings for the television show are not looking good. In its first season, Scream rakes in 1.03 million viewers in its premiere. But after the finale, the show takes home 0.75 million viewers only. Its second season did not do so well either. The opening starts with 0.40 viewers and ends with 0.38 million. The Halloween special on October 18 spells the future of the third season. According to Deadline, MTV is playing the numbers game.

With six episodes, it seems the survivors of Lakewood will only have a short time to live. However, there is still a possibility that the show is going to have an extension. If MTV is able to see the ratings pick up during the first few episodes of Scream season 3, it may extend the series.

Using the Scream Halloween Special as the jump off point, there is no telling if the slasher is going to stop killing. It all boils down to how much information the show runners can cram in order to give the right ending. Is six episodes enough?

The season is reportedly set to focus on the remaining characters further down the time line. And will Scream season 3 going to reveal the identity of this killer? Or will it leave the slasher’s identity as a mystery for

    The Holidays are now over and what better way to get back into the swing of things by watching a bad movie. Okay, bad might not be the best term to describe The Brain That Wouldn't Die, as it certainly isn't the worst movie I've witnessed before. Yes, the plot is paper thin and could've easily been trimmed down to a solid 20-minute episode of Twilight Zone or something similar, but overall I enjoyed the movie enough. However, the movie isn't the main reason to pick up Scream Factory's new Blu-ray. No, the reason to pick it up is the Mystery Science Theater 3000 special feature, which goes through the entire movie and is a blast to sit through.…

    “Horror stories are designed to make our pulses race and our skin tingle” ( pg. 90). Horror stories are made so people can get out of their comfort zone and experience something they wouldn't want to in life through a movie, book and plays. Horror stories come with a lot of different types of suspense and how the author or the director try to create suspense. A couple of ways they do that is foreshadowing, withholding the information from the reader, making characters choose between two different actions and a reversal of personality between characters. Horror films wouldn’t be scary if there wasn’t any suspense because that's what creates all the hype in the movies.…

    Who Is Dean Winchester?

    Regardless of the idea that Supernatural is a horror show, in my opinion, it is more so a show based on family values and love between two brothers and other people that comes into their lives. Dean Winchester is one of the greatest characters ever to finesse a television screen. His actions in the show are both believable and identifiable. This is in part because of the distinguished writers that work on Supernatural, but mostly because of the phenomenal acting of Jensen Ackles. The terrific writers in the world can mastermind the outstanding character in the world, but if you hand the character over to unskillful actor, then writing becomes middling at best.…
