Kieran's right. The gothic genre is all over TV right now. American Horror Story, Hannibal, Bates Motel.

What about Texas Chainsaw or Halloween?

Those are slasher movies. You can't do a slasher movie as a TV series. [everyones turns to Noah, Mr Branson then motions him to continue]

Think about it. Girl and her friend arrive at the dance, the camp, deserted town, whatever. Killer takes them out one-by-one. Ninety minutes later, the sun comes up and survivor girl sits in the ambulance watching her friends' bodies being wheeled past.

It's just crazy that we were talking about slasher movies in Language Arts. And then Nina gets slashed.

Well technically she was already dead when we started that conversation. So there's no direct correlation.

Gotta remember that the whodunit may not be as important in our story... You need to figure that it's a horror story, that someone might die at every turn. You have to care if the smokin' hot lit teacher seems a little too interested in his female students. You have to care if the team wins the big game. You have to care if the smart, pretty girl forgives the dumb jock.

Sounds like Friday Night Lights.

Okay. Not a lesbian, not discussing it.
