MTV’s “Scream” Now Has a Quirky Podcast Host
“True Blood” alumna Amelia Rose Blaire, pictured, is returning to the horror genre with a pivotal role in MTV’s “Scream“, TVLine reports.
Blaire will recur on “Scream” as Piper Shay, the smart, quirky host of a wildly popular podcast who comes to town to investigate the recent deaths. This goes well with the story that the slasher TV series is for the social media generation.
In regards to the new Ghostface mask, check out what we discovered in the trailer!
Here’s the official synopsis, too: “What starts as a YouTube video going viral, soon leads to problems for the teenagers of Lakewood and serves as the catalyst for a murder that opens up a window to the town’s troubled past.”

Willa Fitzgerald, Taylor-Klaus, Bobby Campo, Connor Weil and Joel Gretsch star.
“Scream” premieres on June 30th on MTV.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
