Minisode: Behind-The-SCREAM (1996)

from The 90s’ Rewind Report Hosted by The 90s Rewind Report

In this 90s Rewind Minisode, Nate takes the reins to slice into the origins of Scream (1996) — the film that single-handedly revived a dying genre. Before Ghostface ever asked, “What’s your favorite scary movie?”, there were decades of horror classics paving the way. Nate looks back at the slasher boom of the late ’70s and early ’80s, how the genre lost its edge by the decade’s end, and the spark that Scream brought back to horror. He also explores how the movie came to life — from the early drafts to the big names almost attached to the project — and what made Wes Craven’s final version such a game-changer.
