Horror Sequels

MTV’s “Scream” is hitting the reboot button. Here’s what that means.

Based on the hit movie franchise, the MTV series “Scream” has been wildly inconsistent when it comes to the length of its seasons. The debut season was 10 episodes, while the show expanded to 13 episodes for its second season. Continuing this trend, Season 3 of “Scream” will be just six-episodes long; and according to a report from Deadline today, it’s going to be WAY different.

The site reports that Dimension TV is looking to introduce a new storyline and new cast of characters for the upcoming third season of “Scream.” They note that regulars like Willa Fitzgerald have been given permission to take other jobs, but that MTV remains committed to the series. Ratings dipped from Season 1 to Season 2, which could explain why they want to reboot.

At this time, MTV is searching for a new showrunner.

Harvey and Bob Weinstein executive produce under the Dimension TV production umbrella. The late Wes Craven, Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley, Marianne Maddalena and Cathy Konrad also executive produce. Matthew Signer and Keith Levine are producers.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
