The stars of the new Fox comedy-horror anthology, "Scream Queens," attended the San Diego Comic-Con 2015, surrounded by, well, screaming fans.
Veteran actress Jamie Lee Curtis led the cast including Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Skyler Samuels and Billie Lourde. Co-creator Ryan Murphy was also part of the panel.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Murphy, who also created "American Horror Story" and the hit TV musical series "Glee," teased the attendees that "Scream Queens" will be "Halloween meets Heathers."
His statement drew a big cry from the fans for "Halloween" hero Curtis, who was gracing the event for the first time. Curtis replied that she will pay homage to her breakthrough role on the comedy-horror series. She said, "In episode two, there is a wordless homage that I threw in that was me tipping my hat to all you Laurie Strode lovers," much to the fans' delight.
Murphy further revealed that Curtis' character Dean Cathy Munsch in "Scream Queens" will manifest shades of Laurie.
"Yes, if you're going to hire Jamie Lee Curtis, you want to see her kicking ass and fighting back and doing all of those things that you loved her dong, so we're writing a scene right now where she's fighting three killers," Murphy said. "I come at the stuff from a real fanboy place."
What else is in store for Curtis? Murphy, with his trademark of creating characters that are manic to murderous, divulged, "I wanted to see Jamie Lee Curtis have a sex scene with an 18-year-old." The plan does not end there for he revealed that he is creating a scene in which she battles three murderers, as per LA Times.
Murphy was however, keeping his mouth closed about the killer's identity, even the rest of the cast have no idea who it is. He did mention that those watching the show met the killer in the pilot episode and he thought that it was crystal clear who the killer was.
Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly reported that the cast have no inkling on how many characters would last throughout the whole season, even Curtis said it could be anyone — including her.
"Even the dead ones do press," Curtis said. "Even though we say we don't know who lives or dies, I'm not saying that half of us are not dead already."
Despite talking about death and gore, she reiterated that "Scream Queens" is "first and foremost super funny. Like, super unexpectedly, wickedly, bitingly funny."
