History Series / ScreamQueens2015

** Many characters are revealed to have ties to the incident in 1995: Dean Munsch and Miss Bean were there, and helped cover it all up; Gigi was the sister of a sorority sister involved with the incident, Grace's mom, Bethany was the girl who's negligence lead to the death of the girl in the bathtub; Wes Gardner fathered Grace through Bethany, but was a student at the university, and is also the father of the bathtub twins.

* SmallReferencePools: As [[http://www.avclub.com/article/ryan-murphy-making-horror-series-s-funny-purpose-210715 this article states]], Murphy considers horror-comedy to be a "new genre" [[Franchise/EvilDead despite]] [[Film/ShaunOfTheDead the]] [[Film/{{Gremlins}} many]] [[Film/{{Slither}} examples]] [[Film/TheCabinInTheWoods to]] [[Franchise/{{Scream}} the]] [[Film/TrickRTreat contrary]].

* FollowTheLeader: There's no question that the show is HEAVILY influenced by slasher sendups particularly the ''Franchise/{{Scream}}'' franchise. It doesn't help that it premiered right after a television adaptation of said franchise on MTV.

* BlackComedy: The general comedy used throughout the show and it is ''nasty''.

The show was canceled after two seasons, although its anthology format left no lingering story.

* StealthPun: Chanel #5, specifically, is a reference to the perfume of the same name. [[note]]Chanel #5 was Coco Chanel's first perfume.There aren't Number 1-4.[[/note]] It's a reference to the high fashion of the Chanels.

''Scream Queens'' is a 2015 Creator/{{Fox}} [[SlidingScaleOfComedyAndHorror horror-comedy]] series by Creator/RyanMurphy. It features an {{ensemble cast}} including the likes of Creator/JamieLeeCurtis, Creator/EmmaRoberts, Creator/LeaMichele, Music/KekePalmer, and Creator/AbigailBreslin, with [[Series/FullHouse John Stamos]] and Creator/TaylorLautner joining up in its second season. Music/NickJonas, Music/ArianaGrande, Creator/ColtonHaynes, and more familiar pop culture faces appear in minor roles.

** Chanel specifically wants to work for FoxNews.

* AbusiveParents: While Chanel #5's parents can mostly be filed under [[ParentalNeglect neglectful]] as they keep avoiding her, they veer right into and beyond abuse in the season finale, when they voluntarily go along with [[spoiler: Hester's]] plan to frame her as the other bathtub baby and Red Devil killer just because they find her annoying.

** In the season finale, Chanels #1, 3, and 5 are all framed for the Red Devil killings by [[spoiler: Hester]] (the last surviving real killer), and sent to an asylum for life.

* IllGirl: Hester, aka "Neckbrace", a girl with scoliosis. [[spoiler: Subverted, since she only ''pretends'' to have scoliosis and her neckbrace is not really hers, she stole it, as revealed in the finale.]]

** For the faculty we have [[DeanBitterman Dean Munsch]] whose working to shut Kappa down, and is also a bitter, [[JadedWashout jaded]], [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] woman who was behind covering up the events in 95, and [[WomanScorned murdered her husband for leaving her]]. Grace’s father [[NiceGuy Wes]] who was a [[FormerTeenRebel Party Animal in his teens]] and [[spoiler: committed arson]] [[OverprotectiveDad to protect his daughter]]. And dedicated but [[LovableCoward only]] [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass sometimes capable]] security guard Denise Hemphill.
** Even for the killers we have the AffablyEvil TragicVillain [[spoiler: Gigi]] as the Mastermind. Two AxCrazy [[TheSociopath lunatics]] as the Red Devil, both with solid [[FreudianExcuse reasons behind their instability]] and [[WellIntentionedExtremist the seeming good intentioned]] [[spoiler: Pete.]]

** Dean Munsch's plan [[spoiler: to frame Feather Mccarthy for the murder and dismemberment of the Dean's ex-husband]] nearly failed and backfired on her because the police were too sloppy, lazy and incompetent to find the evidence she had carefully planted on their own.

* AbductionIsLove: The Red Devil [[spoiler: Boone]] abducts Zayday because he is infatuated with her.

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Judges cannot just declare people found guilty of murder to be insane. The Chanels would be going to prison. Heck, to extend on that, why were the Chanels, three convicted murderers being kept in the same room of the same Asylum as [[spoiler: Gigi]], a woman who, when first committed, had suffered a mental breakdown following her sister's suicide?
* TheBadGuyWins: Not only does [[spoiler: Hester - who is the female twin in the bath tub - ]] get her revenge as the Red Devil killer, [[spoiler: she]] successfully convinces people that Chanels number 1, 3, and 5 are the Red Devil killers that plotted the whole thing together. Even after [[spoiler:she]] is confronted by the Dean, who reveals that she knew [[spoiler: Hester was the female twin]] all along, [[spoiler:Hester]] is able to convince her to forget about telling, because [[spoiler:she]] could prove the murders that the Dean committed, and how she set up Feather. In the end, [[spoiler: Hester]] gets [[spoiler: her]] happy ending, and the Chanels get sent to the [[LaserGuidedKarma insane asylum where she came from.]] [[spoiler:She shoots herself in the foot immediately in Season 2, confessing to everything on camera, thinking she couldn't be convicted.]]

* ExactWords: [[spoiler: Hester]] insists that the only person [[spoiler:she]] ever killed was [[spoiler: Pete]], which is true... if one doesn't count the fact that [[spoiler:she]] turned on the fryer in the pilot episode, making sure that Chanel Oberlin killed Ms. Bean by accident. Or all the people whose death [[spoiler: she]] was complicit in.
** Actually, it's probably a lie regardless. All indications suggest that [[spoiler:she]] was the one in the Red Devil costume when [[spoiler:Gigi]] gets killed; Boone's dialogue just before [[spoiler:his death]] suggests that he and [[spoiler: Hester]] were planning to kill Gigi, and [[spoiler:Pete's]] confession not only doesn't mention killing [[spoiler: Gigi]], it suggests that he didn't think [[spoiler:Gigi]] was a threat without Boone and this is why [[spoiler:she]] was spared at that time.
** Considering that [[spoiler: Hester]] was the only Red Devil still alive to kill the pizza delivery guy, [[spoiler:she]] must have been the one to kill him to frame the Chanels, so yes, [[spoiler:she]] was definitely lying.

** In the season finale, [[spoiler: Hester]] reveals that [[spoiler:she]] has been systematically setting up the Chanels to take the fall for the Red Devil killings all season, and it works.

--->'''Munsch''': "I've watched that movie 50 times!". And no wonder, her mother is Janet Leigh...

* BigBad: Gigi is revealed to be the mastermind behind the Red Devil killings, but is ultimately replaced by Hester.

* AbusiveParents: While Chanel #5's parents can mostly be filed under [[ParentalNeglect neglectful]] as they keep avoiding her, they veer right into and beyond abuse in the season finale, when they voluntarily go along with Hester's plan to frame her as the other bathtub baby and Red Devil killer just because they find her annoying.

** In the season finale, Chanels #1, 3, and 5 are all framed for the Red Devil killings by Hester (the last surviving real killer), and sent to an asylum for life.

* GirlPosse: Chanel has own ''Film/MeanGirls''-style posse. [[ThemeNaming With three]] [[ShoutOut other Chanels]], [[Film/{{Heathers}} to boot]].

* IllGirl: Hester, aka "Neckbrace", a girl with scoliosis. Subverted, since she only ''pretends'' to have scoliosis and her neckbrace is not really hers, she stole it, as revealed in the finale.

** Dean Munsch's plan to frame Feather Mccarthy for the murder and dismemberment of the Dean's ex-husband nearly failed and backfired on her because the police were too sloppy, lazy and incompetent to find the evidence she had carefully planted on their own.

* AbductionIsLove: The Red Devil Boone abducts Zayday because he is infatuated with her.

* AmbiguousEnding: The last episode ends with the Red Devil about to stab Chanel Oberlin in her bed in the asylum. Season 2 reveals that was just Chad pranking her.

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Judges cannot just declare people found guilty of murder to be insane. The Chanels would be going to prison. Heck, to extend on that, why were the Chanels, three convicted murderers being kept in the same room of the same Asylum as Gigi, a woman who, when first committed, had suffered a mental breakdown following her sister's suicide?
* TheBadGuyWins: Not only does Hester - who is the female twin in the bath tub - get her revenge as the Red Devil killer, she successfully convinces people that Chanels number 1, 3, and 5 are the Red Devil killers that plotted the whole thing together. Even after she is confronted by the Dean, who reveals that she knew Hester was the female twin all along, Hester is able to convince her to forget about telling, because she could prove the murders that the Dean committed, and how she set up Feather. In the end, Hester gets her happy ending, and the Chanels get sent to the [[LaserGuidedKarma insane asylum where she came from.]] She shoots herself in the foot immediately in Season 2, confessing to everything on camera, thinking she couldn't be convicted.

* CreepyTwins: Boone and Hester, the bathtub babies responsible for most of the murders

* DownerEnding: Hester, the surviving Red Devil Killer gets away with everything and frames the Chanels for her crime. In the wake of their arrest and sentencing to being sent to a mental institution for life (with it strongly implied Hester eventually drops by to finish the job and kill at least, Channel Oberlin), Kappa undergoes a rapid transformation... to the exact same corrupt institution it was. The new Kappa Kappa Tau is inclusive to everyone... except conservatives and firmly has the support of the ultra-corrupt and equally guilty Dean Munsch, who has finally become the powerful overlord she wished she was in her monologue at the start of the season. She has used the murders to launch a career as a Third Wave Feminist writer, penning a best seller which is all about how men are evil and how women are "better than men". More to the point, when she confronts Hester over her villainy, she immediately agrees to continue covering up Hester's crimes because she refuses to do the right thing and fall on her own sword, in order to bring Hester to justice and free the Chanels. Even Grace and Zayday are utterly compromised; they knows Dean Munsch murdered her husband and framed her husband's new girlfriend for the crime (and used Grace to do so) but have decided to let Feather rot in an insane asylum (and not the nice part of the asylum the Chanels are locked up in) for no other reason than because they just don't care. [[FullCircleRevolution In short, the corruption still reigns supreme and the only difference is that it's left leaning corruption as opposed to Channel Oberlin's right leaning corruption]].

* ExactWords: Hester insists that the only person she ever killed was Pete, which is true... if one doesn't count the fact that she turned on the fryer in the pilot episode, making sure that Chanel Oberlin killed Ms. Bean by accident. Or all the people whose death she was complicit in.
** Actually, it's probably a lie regardless. All indications suggest that she was the one in the Red Devil costume when Gigi gets killed; Boone's dialogue just before his death suggests that he and Hester were planning to kill Gigi, and Pete's concession not only doesn't mention killing Gigi, it suggests that he didn't think Gigi was a threat without Boone and this is why she was spared at that time.
** Considering that Hester was the only Red Devil still alive to kill the pizza delivery guy, she must have been the one to kill him to frame the Chanels, so yes, she was definitely lying.

** In the season finale, Hester reveals that she's been systematically setting up the Chanels to take the fall for the Red Devil killings all season, and it works.
* FullCircleRevolution: At the end of the season, the Kappas have basically changed from a group of snotty right wing sorority girls to a bunch of homicidal (and homicidal maniac enabling) left wingers, meaning nothing was changed save for the political affiliation of the leadership caste. It get's worse: Zayday, Hester, and Grace also have Dean Munsch on their side, whereas with the Chanels, they were clearly at odds with the administration and Munsch, allowing them "cool rebel" status. And given that Hester is a mass murderer, who has MAD level blackmail material on Munsch? God help the students of Wallace University, since Munsch will probably continue to cover up Hester's crimes, if she ever kills again since Hester can destroy Munsch in a heartbeat.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Chanel Oberlin's big mouth and sociopath behavior finally caught up with her during the season finale. First she writes an insulting letter to her sisters, that the Red Devil (Hester) makes public for the whole internet to see. It ruins her VillainWithGoodPublicity status, causing the whole campus to turn against her. Then while their on trial for the Red Devil murders, thanks to Hester's gambit, Oberlin's mouth seals their fate. Despite representing themselves during the Red Devil murder trial, and sleeping through most of the trial, and Oberlin insulting the jury when they were awake, that the jury was still going to find them innocent, until Oberlin opens her mouth and insults the jury one too many times, causing them to change their vote to guilty.

* KarmaHoudini: Both Dean Munsch and Hester get away with the various killings they've both performed, with the mutual assured destruction of knowing each other's secrets keeping either from turning in the other.

* MoodWhiplash: In the finale, Dean Munsch confronts Hester about the murders, knowing that she's guilty and wanting to turn her in. The two share a tense conversation and Dean Munsch ultimately decides to keep her mouth shut. Immediately after that, the two part ways as if nothing had happened, cheerily telling each other to take care.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: Happens twice in "Ghost stories": Boone murders Earl Grey who was involved with Zayday and later Chanel #1 attempts to murder Hester who was trying to steal Chad.

* TheReveal: In "Ghost Stories", we learn that the girl who died in the bathtub actually had twins.
* ReverseWhodunit: Played with. For most of the season the audience knows far more about the identity of the killers than the characters. At the end of episode 2 we find out Boone is one of them. A few episodes later we find out Gigi is as well. However, we find out the motives of the killers at the same time the characters do, and in episode 9 and 10 Boone's yet unrevealed sister kills both him and Gigi, meaning the audience will go into the finale as a pure WhoDunIt.
** And then returned to ReverseWhodunit in Part 2 of the finale, which opens with a FlashForward in which Hester confesses to being the killer, and says she got away with everything, and framed the Chanels.
* RiddleForTheAges: Who killed Gigi? Boone was already dead and both Pete and Hester omit her when listing the people that they ''did'' kill.

* SiblingTeam: The two Red Devils are revealed to be fraternal twins.

* StraightGay: Boone, much to the surprise of most of his frat brothers. In 'Ghost Stories' he reveals he was just pretending to be gay.

** Grace's reaction to Pete's rationalizations for his actions:
--->'''Grace:''' "You're quoting ''Nietzsche''? You're already a ''murderer'', Pete. You don't have to be a '''douche''' as well!"

* TokenMinorityCouple: Zayday's love interest is the lone black guy in the Dickie Dollar Scholars. But subverted later on, as white Boone is revealed to fancy her. The season finale also shows a fling that happened between white Chad and black Denise.

** Hester is willing to ''stab herself in the eye'' in order to stop being a suspect and frame someone else.

** After both Pete and Hester explain their involvement in the Red Devil killings it becomes apparent that both versions can't be true, since they contradict each other in a key detail: Hester claims that the only person she killed directly was Pete, but Pete left Gigi out of the list of people that he did kill. One of them has to be lying, because one of them had to kill Gigi.
** Hester's flashbacks imply that Boone was completely incompetent as a killer. While he died clutching the IdiotBall, it's hard to believe she wasn't exaggerating. Especially since she also claims to have only killed one person, which is in-and-of itself unlikely, but also makes him seem far more competent as the primary Devil.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Everyone involved in the Red Devil murders (except for Gigi, who seems hung up on the revenge angle) justifies their actions primarily by saying it's necessary to take down the corrupt elitism of the Greek System represented by Kappa Kappa Tau. The TimeSkip suggests that things are much worse, but in all of the opposite ways. The new Kappa Kappa Tau is inclusive to everyone... except conservatives. Grace uses her position for a vanity pregnancy help line she forces her fellow sisters to man and confesses to her dad that she's not gotten a single call. Oh and the whole thing with her being perfectly fine with covering up Dean Munsch killing her husband and framing an innocent woman. And Dean Munsch, has used the murders to gain the God-like power and status she so craved. Not only has she become famous for writing a book that basically bashes men and calls them inferior to women, but also is using her newfound status as a leading figure in Third Wave Feminism/Social Justice Warrior movement to punish people like Jerry Seinfeld (who famously attacked [=SJWs=] for being too easily offended) by revoking his invitation to speak at commencement "because he once made a joke about a woman". And that's not even counting her continuing to be a corrupt administrator; only instead of covering up college girls dying in childbirth, she's covering up a serial killer who framed three innocent women for murder simply for the sake of protecting her own ass. In short, the corruption still reigns supreme and the only difference is that it's left leaning corruption as opposed to Channel Oberlin's right leaning corruption.

** Oh, of all the things that could've come out of ''Black Friday'', right before Grace hooked up with him...
--> '''Pete''': I don't want your first time to be with a murderer.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: In "Ghost Stories", Boone tries to pull this on Gigi, only to be killed himself by one of the other Red Devils, Pete.
* YourSonAllAlong: A DNA test proves that Weston Gardner is the father of Boone and Hester.

* XMeetsY: The series is basically "What if ''Film/MeanGirls'' was a SlasherMovie?"
** For more appropriate, ''Series/{{Glee}}'' meets ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory''.

The show has been canceled after two seasons.

Season two features {{time skip}} of three years after season one, and moves the focus from Kappa Kappa Tau to a hospital [[spoiler:bought out by Dean Munsch, staffed by Chanels One, Three, and Five, and Zayday]].

* CreepyTwins: [[spoiler:Boone and Hester, the bathtub babies responsible for most of the murders]]

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: While trying to escape in the finale, Nurse Hoffel falls into quicksand. Due to her string of murders, and just being an awful person, everyone just lets her drown.]]

* BigBadEnsemble: There are ''three'' Green Meanie killers (one of whom is just TheDragon to [[spoiler: his mother]]), plus Hester trying to take advantage of the situation to her own advantage.
** FinalBoss: In the end, [[spoiler: Wes is made a patsy and killed, Cassidy and his mom pull [[HeelFaceTurn Heel-Face Turns]], and Hester [[VillainExitStageLeft runs off, leaving Nurse Hoffel as the final killer.]]]]

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: [[spoiler: Nurse Hoffel is after the Chanels because she's Miss Bean's sister and wants revenge for her death. When she reveals this, the Chanels have no idea what she's talking about.]]

* CliffhangerCopout: Season 1 ended with Chanel Oberlin about to be stabbed by a Red Devil. In the second season premiere, not only is Chanel fine but the attack is not even mentioned. Subverted, as Episode 2 reveals that that Red Devil was just Chad, having broken in as a bizarre prank. [[CallBack Called back]] in the final scene of Season 2, when Chanel sees another Red Devil [[DangerTakesABackseat sitting in the back seat of her car.]]

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Chanel #9's]] death at the hands of the Green Meanie [[spoiler: (Cassidy)]] with the help of [[spoiler: Dr. Hoffel]] in the episode "Blood Drive". [[spoiler: Chanel #9]] had an extreme fear of needles, and Chanel Oberlin decided to help her cure her fear by taking her blood, while holding her down on a table (at the same time, she would get blood for a blood drive that she was eager to win). When Chanel left the room, the Green Meanie and [[spoiler: Dr. Hoffel]] stuck her full of needles, leaving her to bleed to death. When her body is discovered, it's as [[NightmareFuel disturbing as you might guess]].
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Denise is seemingly killed, and her body hidden in a cryo-tube. But when it's unplugged, she awakes, the cold having somehow allowed her body to heal.]] This gets lampshaded, as the character in question {{Hand Wave}}s a partial explanation for their otherwise UnexplainedRecovery.

** Hester also states that the new killer is far worse than the Red Devil ever was. Which might be a moot point, considering that [[spoiler: Hester is revealed to be working with the Green Meanie.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: When Wes realizes that Hoffel and Cassidy are planning to kill him and pin all of the Green Meanie murders on him in order to lull everyone into a false sense of security, he doesn't fight, and instead takes his own life with (relative) grace.]]
* FallenPrincess: The Chanels, from rich and popular girls to poor and hated by everyone. Due to being the supposed suspects of the murder on campus from previous season, they've been disowned by their wealthy parents and are put into an asylum. Even though later an award-winning Netflix documentary based on the murder proves them to be innocent, thus they're out of the asylum, it's even worse for them, as they're hated by public due to being awful (and they're still poor). [[spoiler: They're all back on top by the end of the season, with Chanel getting her own show, #3 being her executive producer, and #5 gaining a successful medical career.]]

** [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope She gets a new one]] in the season finale, not only escaping captivity and recapture for her part in the Green Meanie killings, but also stealing all of Munsch's money and running away with Brock to a deserted island to [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame hunt the most dangerous game]].]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: While Chanel is far from a hero, she did have good intentions when she set Chamberlain's phone to temporarily block Zayday's number. [[spoiler: Too bad that the lack of communication leads to both him and Zayday going alone to confront murder suspects and getting killed/kidnapped respectively.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In the season finale, [[spoiler: Hoffel unplugs the cryo-tube containing Denise in order to power her bomb, but this wakes Denise up and lets her save everyone by disabling the bomb]].

** After Dean Munsch discovers that [[spoiler: she has a fatal illness]], Zayday hugs and comforts her.
* PutOnABus: Despite surviving season one, Grace doesn't seem to be appearing in this season.[[note]]This is due to Skyler Samuels opting to take a break from acting to finish college.[[/note]] [[spoiler: It's eventually revealed that [[PutOnABusToHell she's been institutionalized]] from the trauma of season 1.]]

** What happens when you discover that someone may be a serial killer, and you go and confront them on your own without backup? If you're lucky, you just get kidnapped; if not, you DIE. [[spoiler: The first one happened to Zayday, and the latter unfortunately happened to Chamberlain.]]

** Mention is once again made of #5's supposed "vagina teeth". [[spoiler: In the season finale, facing death, she admits she has them.]]

* SecretlyDying: [[spoiler: Munsch]], as a result of accidentally partaking in cannibalism while on vacation in Papua New Guinea and contracting kuru. [[spoiler: It turns out that she never actually ate ''human'' brains, isn't sick, and is just massively dehydrated.]]

** In the season finale, [[spoiler: Nurse Hoffel]] claims that the explosive they've made to destroy the hospital will be a "bigger bomb than ''Film/CloudAtlas''".
* TakingTheBullet: Or machete, as the case may be, as in the season finale [[spoiler: Cassidy does this for Chanel #3]]. It's also {{Deconstructed|Trope}} as a StupidSacrifice, since they could have just pushed the intended victim out of the way.

** Episode 3: [[spoiler: Chad proposes to Chanel, only to be murdered right before the wedding.]]
** Episode 4: [[spoiler: The Green Meanie stabs Chanel #5 and leaves her to bleed out, and apparently kills Denise with a defibrillator.]]
** Episode 8: [[spoiler: Wes returns, and reveals that Grace has been put in an insane asylum, due to all the trauma of season one. Zayday figures out that Jane bought the original Green Meanie costumes (in the process learning that Jane's now dead ''brother,'' not Jane herself, committed the murders in '86) and is promptly drugged and kidnapped by the Green Meanies. Chamberlain finds out that Wes is the third Green Meanie, and Wes apparently kills him. Oh, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and Brock and Munsch begin an affair behind Chanel and Wes's backs.]] ]]

* CreepyTwins: [[Boone and Hester, the bathtub babies responsible for most of the murders]]

* AffectionateParody: ''Chanel-o-ween'' is a lighthearted jab at TaylorSwift and her ''Swiftmas.''

* CliffhangerCopout: Season 1 ended with Chanel Oberlyn about to be stabbed by a Red Devil. In the second season premiere, not only is Chanel fine but the attack is not even mentioned. Subverted, as Episode 2 reveals that that Red Devil was just Chad, having broken in as a bizarre prank. [[CallBack Called back]] in the final scene of Season 2, when Chanel sees another Red Devil [[DangerTakesABackseat sitting in the back seat of her car.]]

* StealthPun: Chanel #5, specifically, is a reference to the perfume of the same name. [[note]]Chanel #5 was Coco Chanel's first perfume.There aren't Number 1-4.[[/note]] It's a reference to the high fashion of the Chanels. Also, said perfume is also often given plain, simple bottles; comparing Chanel #5 to the perfume in that she's high-class, but still relatively plain.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After twelve episodes of horrific and selfish behavior, Chanel finally gets hers when the judge at their trial, after finding them guilty, lashes out on how she and the other Chanels are the worst people he's ever met, brutal, selfish, racist and outright insane.
