VH1’s horror-themed reality series “Scream Queens 2” will be making its first appearance at Comic-Con.

Members of the cast and crew including executive producers Joke Fincioen, Biagio Messina and season 2 competitors Allison Kyler, Jessica Ortiz, Rosanna Pyle and Sierra Holmes will be available for press opportunities beginning at 10am on Friday, July 23, 2010 at the Lionsgate booth (#3729).

Attendees and fans of the show’s hit first season can meet the cast on the Comic-Con floor, download a free iPhone® app, view clips from the upcoming second season and more.

“Scream Queens 2” will take 10 aspiring actresses and give them the chance to win a breakthrough role in “Saw 3D,” the next film in Lionsgate’s “Saw” horror franchise. The reality competition series is produced by Lionsgate and Joke Productions, Inc. and premieres Monday, August 2 at 10pm ET/PT.

Season one winner Tanedra Howard was featured in the “opening trap” scene in “Saw VI,” playing the character “Simone.”

Due to her breakout performance and significant storyline, she is also expected to appear in future Lionsgate productions, a major coup for the previously undiscovered actress.

This season’s cast will once again be put through a horror film boot camp with intense physical challenges, learning how to work with creatures, gore, and stunts, while proving to the panel of judges that she has the talent, the looks, and especially the lungs to be a true “Scream Queen.”

Mentoring the hopefuls through the exacting process will be former model-turned-actress and horror film alum Jaime King. The cast will also be taught by Hollywood’s toughest acting coach, John Homa, and have their performances directed by Tim Sullivan (“2001 Maniacs,” “Driftwood”).

“Scream Queens 2” Premieres Monday, August 2 at 10pm on VH1.*
