I love the Scream movies. Especially the way they lampoon cliches and are self-aware. It adds another spin on a familiar genre. Below is one of my favourite quotes from the first Scream, which sparks with wit. Click the image to get a better look at the sarcastic quote.
Yeah! Probably the only better one in the 90s. I did an analysis on the franchise looking at what worked and what didn’t. And i’m also doing a horror challenge where people vote for their favorite horror movie of all the decades. I’m sure Scream will win it’s decade.
its perfect! I haven’t seen scream since I was a teenager, I’ll have to give it another spin. When I think about Scream tho, all I can think of is Scary Movie heh
I love the Scream films and how they both made fun of the genre and conjured up good scares. I absolutely hate the Scary Movie series, they are just shit.
You should watch Scream the tv series. Based on the movies. It is great! I absolutely loved the series!
I also love Jamie Kennedy’s rules of horror movies from scream 1 lol

Scream was great. Maybe I’ll make an effort to rewatch them all this month. I don’t remember the sequels very well, but I even enjoyed the fourth one.
