 Lance Henriksen (qv)s director character shares the same name as  the famous 17th century English writer. The author  John Milton (II) (qv) is best known for his poem "Paradise Lost."  In "Paradise Lost", Satan deceives Adam and Eve to choose temptation  over Gods Eden. Their decision leaves them expelled from Eden,  forever corrupted. "Paradise Lost" suggests the debate concerning  whether it is better to be bad than good. Director John Milton in  _Scream 3 (2000)_ (qv) dupes Maureen Prescott into believing that  she can become successful in Hollywood by performing sexual favors.  In a similar fashion as Adam and Eve, she loses her innocence to  false promises of grandeur, receiving only bit parts in Miltons  films. As a result of her corruption by Milton, Maureen Prescott  fully embraces promiscuity as evident by the Scream trilogy  storyline.
