The Morgue ep. 104

Hi, welcome back to THE MORGUE. Scream season 2 has finally wrapped and it's now my favorite scream project of all time.  It finally did what I wanted from the series for a long time. It dove into the characters psyche and it adds a whole other layer that we've never seen before, PTSD. PTSD is a disorder that is triggers of anxiety and flashbacks caused by experiencing or witness a traumatic event. It's strange that more horror sequels don't dive into this as a plot device in horror more, they go hand in hand. When a group of teenagers survive a killer of course they're gonna be traumatized. I believe most shows don't want to dive deep into it because it is a touchy subject. In the show every character either experiences an event  that gives them ptsd or they have to deal with a trigger that they were given in season 1. This season turns the dial to 11 on everything other than the murders but it's still entertaining as a character study. The first body isn't discovered until episode 5 of season 2. Every episode before deals with character drama but they keep it so interesting you don't even care because it's unraveling a bigger mystery that was left from the first season. When we get into the season everyone has so much emotional baggage you can't help but feel bad for all of them. All the other Scream projects made you care about the main characters not from a human version of caring, but knowing the character is important type of caring. This show makes you care as if they are your friend...., your family. This season dedicates an episode all about dealing with a favorite character death and from the point on it escalates to a story of dealing with a friend passing away. There is a point in the show where ghost face attacks the characters most afflicted this season and you really see how these events affected them mentally. They no longer run or fight back they drop there weapons and freeze as if it were easier to die. That episode will be the main focus of my video essay. Thank you for reading and see you next time on ... THE MORGUE
