And The 'Red Devil Killer' Is...
FelipeCarrillo25 December 2016
The final hour arrived and destiny has already unmasked to criminals. After 12 hours of amateur suspicions and conjectures, dark clouds have been struck down and finally, an undaunted dawn is going to appear—unfortunately, not for a long time.

July 2015: Ryan Murphy claims that only four characters will come out alive of the massacre at the University Wallace. While weekly, a death—important or not— was executed, the fear of killing the major leads was palpable, however, it compared to shows of its kind, gave us pleasant surprises. Now everything is finished, we have to do a count of survivors and deaths, and by a big variant, Murphy's promise is really distant of being true: • Grace: The most rational head in Kappa Kappa Tau manages to come out victorious, setting up the sisterhood of her dreams, a free place of vanities and pretensions, where any girl can earn a space in the regenerated house. • Zayday: Although she is still a potential suspect for Denise, Williams is appointed as vice president of the sisterhood and shares command for erecting a free family of secrets and killers. • Chanel Oberlin, Chanel No. 3 and Chanel No. 5: Literally, they are not openly alive since they were committed to a psychiatric hospital for being allegedly responsible for killings. • Wes: Grace's overprotective father insinuates to has a hard- wearing and passionate affair with the dean of the university. • Dean Munsch: Our Michael Myers/Teen Wolf/Rasputin has succeeded in escaping unscathed—and she will possibly continue alive due to her immortality—from all that madness. That does not mean that her hands have not been spotted with human blood. • Chad Radwell: President of Dickie Dollar Scholars fraternity, suddenly reappears with an abhorrent loving streak, nevertheless, he continues being the leader of his community, donating money to an organization—which organization in specific? The organization.— • Denise Hemphill: Mama Denise should leave past behind and go to "Quantico" (The TV Series) for becoming a real police officer. • And finally, Hester: This girl is let off the hook. With regard to the multitude of deaths that the series provided, some of the best ones were played by supporting characters, while the others were partially broadcasted on screen. •Sophia Doyle: Who caused all this comical chaos, Agatha Bean: Channels' maid, Sonya Herfmann: the first victim of the murderer, Tiffany DeSalle, Shondell, Mandy Greenwell, Dodger & Roger-still it is complicated to distinguish them-, Caulfield Mount Herman, Sam, Steven Munsch, Jennifer, Mary and Earl Grey: the loving interest of Zayday, Truck Driver, Boone, Gigi, Mall cop, Amy, Pete, Zak, the original mascot and beloved Coney. All of them add up a total of 23 deaths, an average of two characters per episode, taking into account its relation with comedy genre is quite acceptable.

So this is the final score, the dark past has been left behind, but it hints to return for an exciting second season, this time, the paradisaical set will be an insensible hospital. "Scream Queens" was what we expected of it, a ridiculous slasher comedy, where everyone have a happy final—Yes, Chanel Oberlin too,— the red killers have been exterminated and nobody would obstruct their paths now, nevertheless, the killer always should give the final blow, as a recurrent horror cliché. It seems logical that Hester would struck again to finish with all the channels, but if Zayday was the real killer would be more suggestive. If that happens, Denise Hemphill would be a true private agent—seeing it from another perspective, this one doesn't sound far-fetched.— As a comedy series, the first season shines to kilometers, finding a balance between dangerous black humor and pure comedy. The majority of its characters have a unique comical load, and no one of them is similar to the others— except Doger and Roger, but you know,— demonstrating with an incredible story, a really remarkable writing. As horror series, it does not fulfill even basic standards to be categorized as "horror", it would be more a thriller with a killer touch. In terms of drama, this is the main blind point in the show. Since all spectators moved their eyes closer to the funniest moments, drama weight after a death or a given situation was as absurd as credible. However, being a series more oriented the superficial, this is overrated. As its characters, the technical and visual aspects are really special. Pink tones, scenarios textures, clothing tonality, the depth of the music, the musical accompaniment in general and thousands of things are at a higher level of the imagined. The cast was another certain strengths. From Emma Roberts to Jamie Lee Curtis, from Ariana Grande to Nick Jonas, from Keke Palmer to Niecy Nash; everybody, mostly interpreted amusingly smart and measured roles, major leads clearly stand out. "Scream Queens" has a great potential for becoming the new anthology of Murphy and his henchmen, nevertheless, the next time that killer makes his appearance must be considered duration, permanence, and innovation issues. A possible return already is guaranteed, however, what most frightens us is not the brutal new killer, but Ryan Murphy', Brad Falchuk' and Ian Brennan's dangerous minds.

"I know! Let's make all the red herrings the killers!" Warning: Spoilers
Let me start this off by letting you know what we were promised in the finale:

Several months ago, Ryan Murphy promised us a delicious five star dinner. This included tasty roast beef, creamy mash potatoes and a glass of full-bodied white wine. But do not forget the dessert... For dessert we were promised 'blood cake,' AKA the cake made from blood of our favorite characters!

Many were suspicious when Ryan told us that the mere number of '4 or 5' characters would NOT have their blood in this delicious cake. Was he telling the truth? But do not fret! He promised us that this was how it would go! And don't worry, we were promised small samples of blood cake each week!

As the weeks went on and the delicious dinner was just seven days away, we soon figured that it was a bit of a lie.. Instead our blood cake was very dry. But do not fret, once again! The delicious dinner was still coming next week!

And so we stepped into Ryan Murphy's mansion, sat down at the table and he gave us the food. We were greeted with a slop bucket full of crusty vomit, sprinkled with shredded moldy cheese. We were given glasses of cow sh!t mixed with urine of a horse as our wine. And for our blood cake, we were given a dry, shriveled cupcake dipped in saliva.

When we argued in disgust, Ryan looked at us puzzled.

"You do not like your crusty vomit and cow sh!t? What is wrong with you fans?!"

You lied to us Ryan. You LIED, LIED, LIED! You have officially turned into the new Marlene King.

Weren't we promised a big bloodbath of a finale and the Red Devil's reveal? Weren't we? Instead we get Pete, one of the Red Devils, dying in the hands of his partner and a completely RANDOM and NEW character getting blown up... What?

Where was the main Red Devil's death? This leads onto the worst of the bunch. Instead of producing quality, this show has been all about Lea Michelle. You see, Ryan wants her on the show forever, but he also wants to give her an amazing role..

Hmm... Why not both?!

So as we have a killer SURVIVE the season, clearly there must be consequences for the good guys, right?! Yeah, but good buddy Ryan just ignored them. SO instead we get ICONIC, BRILLIANT, FAN FAVORITE characters sent to an insane asylum and locked up FOREVER while the villain of the show lives on. So clearly Ryan wants this anti-hero Hester to be loved by the masses.. Yeah right. We at least have SOME morals to hate her.

I'm sorry Ryan, you screwed up big time!

Next time, you'll understand to make the killer someone GOOD and SHOCKING, just like Grace or Zayday.
