- The latest show from <b>Ryan Murphy</b> - the man behind the most diverse roster of shows, from <i>Popular</i> to <i>Nip/Tuck</i>, <i>The New Normal</i> to <i>Glee</i>, and <i>American Horror Story</i>, which debuts <i>AHS: Hotel</i> next month - is FOX's<i><b> Scream Queens</b></i>, featuring an impressive cast, including one of the most famous screen SQs, <b>Jamie Lee Curtis</b> (<i>Halloween</i>), <b>Emma Roberts</b> (an <i>AHS</i> alum), <b>Lea Michelle</b> (a <i>Glee</i> alum), <b>Abigail Breslin </b>(<i>Little Miss Sunshine</i>), and <b>Oliver Hudson</b> (<i>Nashville, Rules of Engagement</i>), among many others. It's been promoted as a horror-comedy, but does the pilot slay the competition in this new TV season?<br>

- <u><b>THE LOWDOWN</b></u><br>
- The girls of Kappa House, the most sought-after sorority at Hollace University, is dying for new pledges, but only the silver spooned elite are considered. Not if Dean Cathy Munsch (Curtis) has anything to say about it. She is determined to force Kappa to consider all campus girls, much to the chagrin of Kappa leader Chanel Oberlin (Roberts), who rules her house and sisters with a designer-dressed fist. Both and all are about to get a rude awakening as a devil-clad killer begins wreaking havoc across campus. Created by Murphy, <b>Brad Falchuk</b> and <b>Ian Brennan</b>. (Synopsis details courtesy of Fox.com).<br>

- I'm glad Curtis still embraces and revisits the horror genre after all these years (loved that she did the original Halloween, then returned 20 years later in Halloween H20 to battle Michael Myers once last time). And Roberts has made quite a career of playing the ultimate mean girl (eat your heart out, Regina George!). Both leading ladies come from acting pedigree (Curtis' parents are Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, Roberts' dad is Eric Roberts, and of course there's Aunt Julia), but it's nice how they've made names for themselves on their own.<br>
- <br>
- Now, onto the show, which Fox premiered in a two-hour debut. Loved it! It's sharp-tongued, well-shot, moves at a great pace and features really great performances, establishing well-rounded characters from all classes. It feels like an amalgam of the creators' various shows, particularly <i>Glee</i> and <i>AHS</i>, but also feels like it drew inspiration from classics like <i>Buffy The Vampire Slayer</i>, <i>Mean Girls</i> and <i>Heathers</i> (less classic but still entertaining, <i>Jawbreaker</i>).<br>

- Roberts really has the uber-bitch persona down - she puts Cordelia Chase to shame. And how the hell does she spout dialogue that fast?<br>

- Her minions (The Plastics, who?), including a nice bit of stunt casting in Grammy winner <b>Arianna Grande</b>, are vapid, glorious Stepford sisters.<br>

- I like that Michelle isn't playing another Rachel Berry but is now a neckbraced nerd. Everyone plays their parts to perfection, from the dredges of the pledges to ludicrous family members. There isn't much racial diversity in the cast but there is some, including <b>Niecy Nash</b> (<i>Reno 911!</i>), <b>Nasim Pedrad</b> (<i>Saturday Night Live</i>) and <b>Keke Palmer</b> (<i>90210</i>). The girl destined to challenge Chanel the most is Grace Gardner, played by <b>Skylar Samuels</b> (<i>The Nine Lives of Chloe King</i>). Should be a true battle royale as the season progresses.<br>

- Did I mention how I love the cinematography? As expected, there's no lack of death in the premiere and to be sure they are both funny and jaw-dropping, with plenty of screaming girls to go around. Bloody good fun!<br>
- <br>
- <u>Bottom Line</u>: This killer new horror-comedy is a Scream.<br>
