Show Notes

Episode Synopsis

This week the Hack or Slash team unpacks Scream 2 (1997), the meta-horror sequel to Wes Craven's 1996 film that sparked a resurgence in the genre. The group compares modern horror with that found in a pre-Columbine, pre-9/11 America, attempts to differentiate their memories of the Scream and Scary Movie franchises, and ponders the reported impacts of film on real-life violence. The group also highlights the absurdity of true crime Halloween costumes, and Paris reveals himself to be the resident astrologist. This episode contains spoilers.
