If you've ever seen the Scream movies, you know it's a cliche slasher movie that pokes fun at cliche slasher movies. MTV decided to turn this idea into a TV series, stretching the first season into ten episodes.
Turning a slasher movie into a TV series makes it much easier to grow attached to more characters, as there aren't just one or two main ones involved and it's stretched over a longer period of time. One of the characters even claims, "You can't do a slasher movie as a TV series. Slasher movies burn bright and fast." This show gives a new life (and mask) to the Scream movies.
"Everyone has secrets. Everyone tells lies. And everyone is fair game."
