MTV will re-air the original movie presented by the cast, who will provide on-screen commentary and talk about what it was like behind the scenes during the making of
“My Super Psycho Sweet 16.” The film tells the story of Madison Penrose (Juliana Guill), a spoiled and beautiful high school queen bee, and Skye Rotter (Lauren McKnight), the class outcast whose father Charlie Rotter committed a series of grisly murders a decade before the movie’s events. Madison’s plans for the ultimate birthday bash are ruined when Skye shows up to get closer to Madison’s ex-boyfriend Brigg (Chris Zylka), but things get really psycho when Charlie returns to crash the party too. “My Super Psycho Sweet 16” offers the perfect blend of teen drama, sly humor, horrific thrills and eye-popping special effects.

In this continuation from the popular MTV.com series, Sophie discovers that Valemont is a university for vampires, realizing she can trust no one. The one-hour special will conclude with an epic cliff hanger and invite viewers to watch the very next scene online, at Valemont.MTV.com.

When the escalating terror finally brings her out of hiding, Sidney and other Woodsboro survivors are once again drawn into an insidious game of horror movie mayhem.
