STILL SCREAMING: The Ultimate Scary Movie Retrospective
In 1996, Kevin Williamson's screenplay (originally called SCARY MOVIE) was brought to the screen by Wes Craven. Intended to pay homage to the grandfather of slasher films, HALLOWEEN, while also creating a new horror franchise, the movie SCREAM single-handedly revived the slasher genre for a new generation of audiences. STILL SCREAMING combines extensive interviews with cast and crew from SCREAM 1-4, film clips and footage, as well as rare photos and behind-the-scenes film, to track how this smart franchise reinvigorated a dull and outdated genre with a smart mix of social commentary, self-awareness, humor and scares – to cement itself alongside such major horror franchises as FRIDAY THE 13TH and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET.
