Scream King introduces a bold new slasher icon as a group of vintage horror enthusiasts heads to the remote town of Hemlock Ridge to attend an exclusive "killer cosplay" festival. Their excitement quickly turns to terror when urban legend comes alive: the notorious masked figure known as the Scream King appearsβand heβs not playing by the rules of cosplay.
The groupβs big personalitiesβranging from self-proclaimed scream queens to horror reviewersβfind themselves hunted one by one. As bodies pile up in creative and gruesome ways, the line between staged scares and real horror blurs, leaving them screaming for their lives in a nightmare they helped create.
Enter Maddy, a resourceful horror blogger with a sharp mind and a sharper wit. As the body count rises, she pieces together the Scream Kingβs originsβa tortured performer driven to exact his own twisted revenge on anyone who trivializes real fear.
With no phone service and the local sheriff dismissing the terror as "festival theatrics," Maddy and a handful of survivors must use both horror fandom expertise and pure instinct to uncover the Scream Kingβs identityβand survive until dawn.
Scream King reinvents the slasher genre with meta-horror energy, grisly set-pieces, and a central heroine whoβs too smart to be a victim. Itβs a chilling tribute to classic horror tropesβcomplete with jump scares, bloody creativity, and the haunting question: who passes the mask when the show ends?
