In the mid 90s, horror was in trouble. All the 80s slashers had run their course, and all attempts to revitalize those franchises tended to land with resounding thuds. Jason, Freddy, Michael Myers. They had all died and come back so many times, with origin stories that fans didn’t buy (The Thorn anyone?) studios could no longer make people show up for their once favorite boogeymen. Leprechaun wasn’t the answer, Leatherface was going to video, and all others were sure to follow. Then 1996 rolled around, and a then unknown writer by the name of Kevin Williamson wrote a script that would eventually be directed by Freddy creator Wes Craven. This script would be turned into Scream, and horror was once again the talk of the town. But with sequels and even a TV series left in its wake, not to mention countless imitators, is the series finding itself in the doldrums that all it parodied were when its concept as originally realized? Join myself, Matthew Goudreau, and Jim Law as we answer that question and go through each movie of the franchise one by one.
After Scream ended up being the surprise hit of 1996, it was only inevitable that it would join the ranks of the horror franchises it satirized and started churning out money grabbing sequels. Everyone from director Wes Craven and his cast was onboard, and writer Kevin Williamson turned in a script. But, little did Miramax and company know that the internet would change the course of the franchise forever.
Join myelf, Jim Law, and Matthew Goudreau as we look at what many have called one of horror’s best sequels. Do we agree? Listen below to find out!
