A fascinating series in the horror genre with elements of a black comedy created by analogy with the popular "American horror story." In this article, some features of the picture will be considered, a brief plot and information about the actors of the "Queens of the Scream" will be presented.
Features
Actresses who star in horror films or play victims chased by maniacs, monsters, in the cinematic environment, are called "scream queens." This is exactly the role of Jamie Lee Curtis - starring. “Scream Queens” (actors) are distinguished by the fact that they start shrill screaming when they encounter something terrible, which is happening in this project.
Scream Queens is a parody of horror films, an analogue of American Horror Story. The directors are working simultaneously on one and on the second project. The script for the series was mainly written under the leading performers - Emma Roberts and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Short story
The pilot episode of the Queen of Scream series features events from twenty years ago. At a party at the Kappa Sisterhood House, one of the girls gives birth in a baby bath. Her friends (and these are typical representatives of the "golden youth", arrogant playboys of life) do not want to miss the song they like and decide to help the woman in labor later. They do not have time to save the girl, she dies in the bathroom from the bleeding that has opened.
The action is postponed today, representatives of the sisterhood clash in the interests of the university administration, which requires that anyone can be accepted into a closed group. At the same time, a maniac appears in the costume of the university’s mascot - the Red Devil (CD). The details of the incident twenty years ago are gradually being revealed, and KD keeps everyone in fear, killing one after the other.
In the second season of the series, the actors of Korolev Shout are no longer acting in the Kappa sisterhood home and university, but are on the hospital grounds. The main villain in the sequel is no longer the CD, but the Green Monster, and the girls work as nurses and assistant doctors. In each episode, there is a patient with an allegedly incurable disease, but the girls eventually cure him. The plot of the Queen Scream series (season two) does not pretend to be reliable in medical terminology, but this does not make it less fun.

Actors of the series
Emma Roberts is the cast of Chanel Oberlin in The Queens of the Scream.

In her youth, she became the star of the Nickelodeon television channel, played a schoolgirl musician in the TV series Netakaya, and released a solo music album with music for the Disney Ice Princess.
The drama “Luxurious Life” proved that Emma Roberts managed to become one of the most promising young actresses. The series “The Scream Queen” appeared in the Roberts filmography in 2015.

The same role was preserved for Jamie Lee Curtis and in the "Queens of the Scream."
