Scream Street Thought Of The Day - Bad Blood

Everyone is different in any special way, and that includes monsters like the residents of Scream Street, because each of the residents have special quirks that make them different from one another. Luke was different from any other kid in the normal world, because he was shunned all round for being a werewolf before he and his family moved to Scream Street, and this wonderful place named Scream Street should be a place where people respect people with autism, as I have autism and the programme mostly appeals to me because characters from the show like Resus, who is different from his family because he was born a normal, Luella, who gets spells wrong and is stunningly beautiful like her aunt Eefa, and Dr. Skulley, who was once a classroom skeleton before he went into the education business, are representations of both the autism spectrum and aspergers' and make the series CBBC's first disability friendly series. Because...well, monsters are representations of people with disabilities, am I right? But the biggest problem about being different is the fact that the TV series alters differently when compared to the books. The book series is a continuous story about a hunt for 6 relics that'll sadly take Luke and his parents back to their world - the first half is a quest for six relics set in the street, and the second half is a quest to get the relics back, with locations never featured in the show and perils that are too dangerous to my friends Luke, Resus and Cleo, which'll lead them to do things they never did in the series, like swim or sleep outside in nature - and the final book ends with the shocking exile of Sir Otto Sneer and Dixon, and the realizations that Luke's mum is a werewolf and the fact Sir Otto Sneer is really a freak himself. The TV series is a slice-of-life comedy that appeals to CBBC's disabled viewers, even adults, because Resus, being born a normal, is a representation of the aspergers' syndrome that affects some people, and people who can't speak can relate to No-Name too. In the books, there are characters that we never get to see in the TV series, such as Doug's zombie mates Turf and Berry, Dixon's sister Queenie and Zeal Chillchase, however we are glad not to have these characters in the series, or else Scream Street will be a film series made by Dreamworks, who also makes another series for CBBC, the Dragons trilogy. But I don't like it in CGi, if it's stop-motion, then it has a difference like any other CBBC show I know - I didn't see it in 2015, but as I'm different, I'm glad to be accepted into Scream Street. This is why, residents of Scream Street, you should really hang out with Luke, Resus and Cleo if you happen to have autism. For future residents with autism, look on the bright side! It's always a sunny day when Scream Street airs on CBBC.
