I hope they hold up in even a slightly comparable way to the works of Ryan, Brad and Ian. These are the first scripts I have written based upon the work of other writers.
I again am putting my money where my mouth is and telling you all in great detail EXACTLY where I would have liked to see the series end. Many people will complain about a series they love not ending how they would have liked. In my scripts people die in horrible, tragic ways, and secrets are revealed in shocking turns which may send many of you rushing to your keyboards to tell me to go to hell. I'm only sticking to the rules which the creators set forth from the beginning (but were themselves too shy to actually follow through on). I admittedly took some ballsy approaches to wrapping up the show's many mysteries and have killed many fan favorites in the scripts.ĭon't hate me. I hope you enjoy what is bound to be a controversial script series. In keeping with the spirit of giving myself alone the same amount of time the series' THREE creators were given to complete their final scripts, I planned, outlined, and wrote these scripts in ONE WEEK. Like many of you I found myself, to put it lightly, underwhelmed with the way in which the show's creators choose to end their series, which was - again, I'm sure, like many of you - dangerously close to being my favorite series this year.Īfter the lackluster final episodes we were given, I choose to put my money where my mouth is and produce for you, and all Scream Queens fans, MY version of both "Dorkus" and "The Final Girl(s)." Hey guys, this is Mike here from Fright Flicks.
His favorite film directors are Wes Craven and Pedro Almodóvar and his top ten favorite movies include Mad Max: Fury Road, Little Shop of Horrors, and Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.Thank you for your interest in reading Fright Flicks' 2-Part version of How Scream Queens Should Have Ended!Īttached below are Mike Sprague's FAN EDITION scripts this one is for s1e12 "Dorkus." and S1E13 "The Final Girl(s)"! Brennan has been working in the pop culture space for over a decade as a podcast host (Attack of the Queerwolf, Bride of Alternate Ending, Scream 101,Welcome to Prime Time), podcast producer (Queerwolf, This Ends at Prom, Keep Screaming), news/editorial writer (The Backlot, Dread Central, Arrow in the Head, ), and movie reviewer (Popcorn Culture, Alternate Ending).īrennan's interests also include the Muppets, pop music from around the world (sometimes it was difficult being the only Fanny Lu fan in his high school), and reading (especially Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, the manga of Junji Ito, LGBTQ+ young adult fiction, and novels of magical realism). That is the purpose of Script to Screen, a weekly series on GITS where we analyze a memorable movie scene and the script pages that inspired it. This decision certainly shows how set they were to have both Sam and her sister provide the emotional core of the film from the very beginning.īrennan Klein (he/him) is a senior writer at Screen Rant who knows more about 80's slasher films than any human has a right to. After all a screenplay is a blueprint to make a movie and it’s that magic of what happens between printed page and final print that can inform how you approach writing scenes. Given the fact that the new final girl is the daughter of original killer Billy Loomis and even sees visions of him trying to tempt her to kill, this seems like an obvious option. One thing that is interesting is that the co-writers of Scream seem to never have considered Sam as a potential killer. That fact does indeed come into play with the actual killer who is eventually revealed to be Amber's partner.
The killers also tend to be stars who were either already famous or would grow to be big stars, adding a new layer of audience intrigue. Although some of them - like the one in Scream 2 - had to be jerry-rigged out of parts that didn't seem to originally fit, they are an opportunity for the actors to showcase their range while menacing Sidney Prescott and her remaining friends. The killer reveal is one of the integral scenes of any Scream movie.
