My review on MTVs take on the classic "Scream" horror films.

'Scream' The Series Review

If you follow me on any social media, you know that I have been OBSESSED with a T.V series called “Scream.” The series is based off of the ‘Scream” horror movies that were aired 1996-2011.

The series starts off with a scandalous Youtube video that got posted of one of the main characters of the show, Audrey Jenson. Shortly after, one of the most popular and pretentious students gets murdered. This brings a group of students together who probably wouldn’t have crossed paths any other way. The group includes but is not limited to Audrey Jenson, Emma Duval, Noah Foster, Kieran Wilcox, Jake Fitzgerald, and Brooke Maddox. They later begin to call each other “the Lakewood six.” The one murder that starts off the series is followed by various other gruesome deaths. To make it worse, one of the Lakewood six, Emma Duval begins to get harassed and begins to find out about the Lakewoods dark past, and how it ties to her and her family.

When I started the series, I honestly didn’t think I was going to like it. I quickly got tied in by the loveable characters and stomach dropping cliff hangers. I finished both season one and two in about six days, and now I am eagerly awaiting the halloween special and crossing my fingers that they will air a third season.

Like I said before, I fell in love with the characters. The acting was brilliantly done by very talented actors. The best part is, is that they believably play high school students. We have all seen the shows where they cast thirty year olds to play high school students, or write scripts that are mocking and full of stereotypes. The characters in this show are all genuine and all have such distinct personalities and quirks that you can’t help but love. Since I am a highschool student, I can easily put myself into their mindset. The love you have also makes you feel genuine concern and remorse for them.

The cast is also filled with wonderful people. Most people don’t go as far as looking into the actors of the shows they enjoy, but since I’m in theatre I find myself always researching the people behind the work I admire. The entire cast is witty, hilarious, and humble. There is an after show called “Scream After Dark” that I highly recommend watching. I thought that it would be similar to The Walking Dead's after show where they actually sit down and discuss the contents of the episode. It’s quite the opposite. It is full of hilarious interviews and skit-like segments performed by the cast. I can honestly say that the after show has had me in tears from laughing so hard, and it’s quite refreshing after watching something so dark and gory. You can tell on the after show and on their social media that the cast all love each other. The best friend relationship is both on and off stage, and it is the most adorable thing.


I mean come on, how could you not love them.

It is also brilliantly written. The character development is nothing short of wonderful. You’re also always on the edge of your seat. I am usually able to figure out the culprit in other murder mystery crime shows. This show stacks a good amount of evidence on every single character, so it’s very difficult to figure out who is actually guilty. They place tons of really subtle foreshadowing clues throughout that you have to pay very close attention to catch. You’ll think that you have it figured out, then another clue will be revealed and you will be completely in the dark again.

So, if you’re looking for a quality show that will keep you on your toes, I highly recommend “Scream the Series.” It is on Netflix, and what better time than the upcoming Halloween season to watch a show like this!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
