Samantha Bee wants you to vote—or face the bloody consequences.

In a new campaign highlighting Full Frontal With Samantha Bee’s upcoming election coverage, the late-night show host spoofs classic scenes from horror films like Scream, A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Silence of the Lambs to scare her correspondents into participating in the November election.
