"Back To The Future meets Scream, with a hefty dose of John Hughes teen movies." And a female serial killer named Cinderhella.
When I really think about it, there are very few women killers/bad guys/maniacs in horror. Let's name them: Margot Kidder in Sisters, Tamara in Tamara, Mandy Lane in All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, Mrs. Voorhees, That weird ghost from Darkness Falls, the puppet-lady from Dead Silence, May from May, Samara in The Ring, Marie in High Tension, Annie Wilkes in Misery, La femme from Inside, Jennifer from Jennifer's Body, Ginger in Ginger Snaps, Mother from Mother's Day...
And now I start to run out of examples. What is that, like, 13? I know I have missed a few, probably Asian, but considering there are hundreds of horror films, that's not a lot. And no, the Alien from Alien doesn't count. And I don't count sexual lesbian vampires in Hammer films,...

HollywoodNews.com: A contestant who was once rejected by ‘American Idol’ but then asked to appear on the 2010 finale is not happy about how the situation played out.
Ian Benardo is claiming that problems with ‘Idol’ began in 2006 when he first tried out and was told by producers to “gay it up,” reports TMZ. Problems only escalated for Benardo when he was asked to appear on the live finale show in 2010 as producers asked him again to be “outrageous” and “gay,” which reportedly led to him stealing the mic from Dan Cook.
After the Dane Cook incident, Benardo was told that both Dane and his manager were upset and Benardo was “not safe” and had to leave the building immediately.
The $300 million lawsuit has been filed with the NY State Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and claims that Benardo’s ‘Idol’ experiences have caused him emotional injuries and loss of employment opportunities.
