Jamie Lee Curtis Points Out ‘Halloween’ Homages On This Week’s “Scream Queens”
The iconic scream queen directed the latest episode of “Scream Queens.“
There are so many horror shows on TV right now that no matter how many of them I devote myself to watching, there’s just no possible way for me to watch them all. I’m currently keeping up with “Ash vs. Evil Dead,” “The Walking Dead,” and “The Exorcist,” but other shows have fallen by the wayside for no reason other than a lack of time in the day. One of those shows is FOX’s “Scream Queens,” which I haven’t watched a single episode of this season. Need. More. Time.
Now that I’ve revealed that I have no idea what’s going on in “Scream Queens” this season, I wanted to tip you off to a couple fun homages you might have missed in last night’s episode. How do I know about these homages? Because Jamie Lee Curtis, who both starred in and directed the episode “Rapunzel, Rapunzel,” just tweeted that she intentionally paid tribute to the movie that made her a household name and THE be-all, end-all scream queen: Halloween, of course!
Straight from @JamieLeeCurtis‘ fingers:
Any @ScreamQueens fan noticing a couple 🎃 homages?

The other one was the scare in the fabric shop. Tried to homage Laurie walking home and bumping into the sheriff!

In the episode:
A man from Dean Munsch’s past checked in to the C.U.R.E. institute with plans to win her back, causing a jealous Brock to further question his relationship with Chanel. Meanwhile, Zayday and Chamberlain devised a plan to discover the origins of The Green Meanie killer… with shocking results.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
