DECADES OF SCREAM

The original Scream takes place in 1996. It is the movie that started it all. It stars Sidney Prescott and her group of friends. A killer with a ghost face mask starts targeting Sidney and her friends for his killing spree. The original is often considered the best movie of the series. I agree with that opinion for its originality and how smart the killings are.

Scream 2 was came out two years after the first one hooked fans. Scream two follows the genre of horror with elements of comedy, and continues to use sydney prescott as the main character including other survivors from the last movie. Even though the movie had issues such as the script often needing changes, it still racked up 172 million dollars, less than the original.

SCREAM 2 (1997)

The film takes place in the 2000s. Following what had happened in the previous films, Ghost Face comes to Hollywood and Sidney Prescott is in hiding. A new character picks up the mask and starts killing the Stab 3 cast to find out where Sidney is. This film had some mixed reviews, which is deserved. The Ghost Face reveal is underwhelming because he was barely in the movie before.

SCREAM 6 (2023)

This film takes place in 2011. It starts at the 15th anniversary of the original murders from 1996. Sidney Prescott returns to Woodbury High after ten years. Ghost Face picks up the knife again and starts killing students from the school. Many think Scream 4 is better than the original, and I agree as the revealed killers were a big plot twist.

This film takes place in 2022, 25 years after the killing spree of Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. A new Ghost Face appears and targets a group of teens who are all linked to the originals. The new Ghost Face attempts to make a “Requel” of Stab 8. People have mixed opinions on this Scream movie, mostly saying it’s middle of the pack in the series. I disagree with this– I think it’s quietly one of the best ones, because the killers were unexpected and the reveal was a shock.
