ABSTRACT:
This paper discusses the relevance of serial killers and psychopaths in contemporary narratives, presenting some strategies that have been used to maintain popular interest in these stories. It will present a concise history of this genre and how Ryan Murphy’s TV series Scream Queens offered some guidelines for the regeneration of serial killer and psychopath stories, for instance rethinking the moral values that identify the final girls and their antagonists. This article also analyzes extracts from the TV series, discussing its reference to Psycho among many other slashers and American horror movies.
