SCREAM (1996) WTF REALLY Happened To This Horror Movie?

Scream almost singlehandedly revitalized both the slasher genre and director Wes Craven’s career. It had four sequels spanning over 25 years, and the series as a whole has taken in over 740 million dollars at the box office. Most people assume that writer Kevin Williamson used his love of movies to craft a chilling, smartly written horror film but did you know that the idea for Scream is based on a horrific true story?

This is one of those rare movies that NEVER gets old. Absolute classic

[@grahamcarroll30]

still to this day the best opening to a horror movie

[@thecunninlynguist]

The classic of classics. What new nightmare started. Scream perfected

[@Funnylittleman]

One of the very few flawless films in the world. Up there with Silence of the Lambs and Alien.

[@holgerschink1341]

This movie is one of my favourite horror-classics. Perfect.

[@curtislindsey1736]

That Chapter has a great video on the Gainesville Ripper. That guy was a true piece of s**t. You know it's bad when the kills in Scream are actually toned down from the actual murders.

[@innactiveaccount9998]

Did research project on it near halloween last year while wearing a ghostface costume. The killings were very brutal, even surprised me with how violent the scenes of the crime were.

[@Makoto03]

This was great. I had no idea the killer was loosely based on a real person.

[@Blast2224]

Without going into TOO much detail, the Gainesville Ripper had a habit of decapitation and posing victims. This is more in line with Michael Myers, which makes Billy’s quote “Movie don’t create psychos, movies make psychos more creative” even more frightening. It makes you wonder what media he’d watch.

[@jamesmorant1406]

Best decade for horror was the 80's when it got to the 90's it hit a dead end scream definitely gave it a Resurgence it being self aware the humor the performances brand knew horror villain in Ghostface just a classic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@lopirobinson1991]

I would say the first Scream is the Halloween of the 90's. It was that good when I saw it in theaters.

[@sinnsage]

this is the movie that got me into horror when i was 13 and it just came out. to this day, a brilliant classic. scream 2 also. i just rewatched #5 last night and it’s still ok but wasn’t as much fun as the first time i saw it, while i’ve seen the original close to 60 times and it is always entertaining.

[@nylesfrench3568]

A modern Classic. One of the Best Intros Ever. It was unbelievable. Killing off a Star in the opening Segment!? Great job by the young, then unknown actors. Wes Craven is a True Master.

[@THANATOS-PRIME]

I grew up with the Scream movies. My sister had one of the original Ghostface costumes released after Scream 2 was released.

[@adagiobreeze8493]

Idk why but this movie’s Northern California setting works really well for its story

[@user-fb4sb1zi8g]

You forgot Kenny the cameraman was killed too.

[@Josehorror86]

Great video .. anything scream related makes my day

[@tsenpai8549]

best slasher imo!

[@brenttwilson]

One of my favourites! Watch it every year :) and love it more everytime

[@brbrbuckeye]

Started the most consistent Horror Movie series in history.
