How Scream started the ’90s horror revolution

from Talk ’90s to me · host Podmasters

The brand new podcast that dives deep into all things ’90s. For our special Halloween episode, we’re looking back at the film that defined ‘90s horror. When Scream slashed into cinemas in 1996, Wes Craven’s meta-masterpiece tore up the rulebook and rewrote the genre for a new generation. Miranda Sawyer is joined by Clark Collis, author of Screaming and Conjuring: The Resurrection and Unstoppable Rise of the Modern Horror Movie to find out why Scream is still the sharpest horror satire and asking the question: “What’s your favourite scary movie?” Follow us on:  BlueSky  Instagram  TikTok  Subscribe to our Spotify playlist Buy Miranda’s book Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs and Clark’s book Screaming and Conjuring: The Resurrection and Unstoppable Rise of the Modern Horror Movie through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll be helping the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.
