Cassidy Cascade is a major antagonist of the Scream Queens series, serving as the two secondary antagonist (alongside Wes Gardner) of season 2.
He was a doctor at the hospital who had Cotard's syndrome where he believed that he was dead. About 30 years earlier in 1986, his father was murdered at the same hospital he worked at, and so he “allegedly” wanted to get revenge for his father’s death, and started killing people at the hospital. But really, he was doing it because it was what his mother wanted.
He was portrayed by Taylor Lautner.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- Decapitating Catherine Hobart with a machete, and was going to also kill Chanel #5 before Chamberlain scared him off.
- Killing Tyler by lasering his eyes and chest and then slashing his throat.
- Killing Randal by dismembering him with a sickle.
- Killing 8 unnamed hospital patients.
- Killing Tristan St. Pierre by disemboweling him.
- Killing Chanel #11.
- Helping Ingrid Hoffel kill Chanel #9.
- Gave Ingrid Hoffel a green meanie costume and invited her to help him kill people.
- Indirectly making Wes kill himself (alongside Ingrid Hoffel).
- Was at one point going to kill Chanel 3, although he was very reluctant and instantly regretted it.
- He has a kill count of 15 which is the highest kill count of any killer in Scream Queens.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He redeemed himself at the end by giving his life to save Sadie Swenson. Even before this he was already feeling bad about killing people as he admitted to Nurse Hoffel in episode 7, that he was feeling guilty about murdering people.
- While it did seem like he initially wanted to be a villain, it could be argued that he eventually somewhat became a villain by proxy, as he said to Nurse Hoffel that he was feeling bad about what he was doing, but still continued with his villainy because it was important to his mother, and he felt pressured into doing it.
- He is a tragic villain for a couple of reasons.
- Right before he was born, his father was killed by the hospital workers simply because they were too busy having a party and didn’t want to “waste their time” saving a persons life.
- He was literally raised to be a murderer by his mother.
- His death is played for sympathy since he redeemed himself and seemed to show remorse for what he did, and because he only really killed people because he was raised to be a killer.
- He is genuinely affable towards Ingrid, Wes and Hester even before his redemption.
- He loved his mother as he did his actions because it was what she wanted and he understood her pain.
- He genuinely loved Chanel #3 as she was also one of the reasons he refused to kill anymore people.
