Join BP, Coop and Justin as we discuss Scream, the 90’s cult classic directed by Wes Craven that reinvigorated the horror genre by satirising cliches of the horror genre and whodunnit murder mystery tropes to present a meta self-aware take on your typical slasher.

Scream follows Sidney Prescott (NeveCampbell), a high school student in the fictional town of Woodsboro, California, who becomes the target of a mysterious killer in a Halloween costume known as Ghostface.

The film satirizes the clichés of the slasher genre popularized in films such as Halloween (1978), Friday the 13th (1980) and Craven’s own A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Scream was considered unique at the time of its release for featuring characters aware of real-world horror films who openly discussed the clichés that the film attempted to subvert.
