Show notes

It's the 25th anniversary of Wes Craven's Scream! Tony, Johanna, and Crystal discuss the first film in this awesome franchise and talk about all the ways its still scary!
Wes Craven re-invented and revitalized the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high-school students in middle-class suburbia. Craven is happy to provide both tension and self-parody as the body count mounts - but the victims aren't always the ones you'd expect.
