HOMECOMING SCREAM

HOMECOMING SCREAM
By Laurie Boyle Crompton

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

This year‘s homecoming queen competition isn’t about some shitty tiara. It’s about who will be the final girl!

SYNOPSIS:

From a Pep Rally balloon drop turned bloody dead body drop, to a Homecoming Dance turned livestreamed slasher, Homecoming Scream is packed with horror and humor. This is Scream meets Mean Girls!

Samantha may have been nominated to Northlake High’s homecoming court as a prank, but it still puts her on the wrong end of a masked killer’s electric knife! A rainbow-flaunting ally, Sam is labeled gay by her annoyingly supportive classmates. She has zero social media presence for personal reasons, and now she’s become a humiliating meme.

Enter Brooke, uber-influencer, who gives Sam the one thing she obviously needs: an

extreme makeover! Now Sam’s ready to round out Northlake’s most diverse

homecoming court along with Jen, (a wheelchair-bound athlete), Franny, (an edgy, all-around genuinely good person), Brooke (who will seemingly do anything for likes and subscribes), and finally transitioned female, Petra (aka: the Pep Rally Dead Body!)

After a lively (and deadly!) Bubble Fun Run Memorial for Petra, Spirit Week continues

with such staples as Career-, Character-, and Decade-Days, while slashing toward a live-streamed Homecoming Parade and Dance-turned True Crime in Real Time! Meanwhile “Lucy” the killer has been hiding in plain sight with her auburn beehive, latex Lucille Ball mask, and an old-fashioned electric carving knife she’s extremely handy with!

When Samantha and her crush, Rodin, find a clue deep inside an untraceable website,

they must solve the murder mystery before “Lucy” crowns them all! Catching a “cancelled” racist and homophobic killer draws this low budget horror to a satisfying

conclusion. The sharp comedy, modern approach to diversity, and unique kills (curling iron down the throat anyone?) will leave it standing out from the competition.

This year’s homecoming queens aren’t getting tiaras, they’re losing their heads!
