Scream Queens: “Black Friday”
It’s amazing that Scream Queens ended up being pretty good this week, because man was the intro to “Black Friday” annoying as hell. I don’t even have any trenchant criticism to go along with….
Scream Queens: “Thanksgiving”
It seems as though Scream Queens has finally found the perfect balance of horror and comedy. “Thanksgiving” is smart, focused, and thoroughly engaging. It’s almost a shame that the show has waited….
Scream Queens: “Ghost Stories”

Scream Queens: “Hell Week”
Okay, now we’re talking. “Hell Week” was a much more focused episode of Scream Queens – it upped the stakes narratively, it introduced layers of complexity to its characters, and it gave….
Scream Queens: “Pilot”
Ryan Murphy is basically the human embodiment of the words YAASSSS QUEEN. It’s the reason he’s dedicating an entire season of American Horror Story to Lady Gaga, who is not an actress,….
