WTF?

Perhaps, I'm not thinking creatively enough, but how does a serial-killer film franchise lend itself to a weekly TV series?

Anthology series?

You mean, like "Friday the 13th: the Series"? That could be interesting. I've been wanting to see another anthology series on TV for quite awhile now (and no, I'm not counting "American Horror Story" on FX, because it's Ryan Murphy's show, and I refuse to watch anything that man produces).

I love "Scream" more than anyone but I don't like this idea just because I think it'll be cheap and it significantly hinders the chance of "Scream 5"

I am all for it!

Cinemax has Femme Fatales, a crime anthology series. Sometimes it's good, sometimes not...although the host is just awful, likely hired mostly for a British accent and big breasts.

Well, we don't call it "Skinimax" for nothing.

Good one. They try to be more trendy now, and not as porny, although it's still the same thing (with that said, I enjoyed some of their recent shows more than any soaps these days). They have some soap actors who pop in, people I haven't seen in a while, like Kiko Ellsworth (he kept his clothes on), a topless Daphnee Duplaix, that guy who was turned to dust by Jordan Stark in AW's last year, a much hotter Sandy from GL, etc.

So to speak...?

To think MTV was once a great network, they've run out of as ideas as much as Hollywood has

RIP (NOT)MTV

I don't see how this is running out of ideas. Taking a movie and turning it into a continuing series is gonna require a lot of original ideas.

I agree with AMS.

I see a lot of potential. I wasn't sure about this at first, either, but I'm interested in the idea and execution.

I'm going to lean with an anthology series. Probably different young and hot cast members with maybe a few hold overs?

It's clear they want a companion for Teen Wolf

Considering the huge flop of Skins, I just hope they find some quality writers.

I think if you take any of the films, it certainly lends itself to a series. The first film could cover a full 13 episode season. You could flesh out the characters, like Casey and have huge ratings in the middle of the season when most shows slump. It would encourage the viewers to tune in. THis could also help revive the film series if it's a big hit, but I don't want it to tarnish it either. I feel Scream has to be R rated. HBO needs to do this.
