Scream 4 (Spooky Szn)

October has officially arrived on We Drink & We Watch Things, and that means it is time for our favorite month of the year: Spooky Szn! All month long, we are diving into horror classics, modern slashers, and terrifying haunts to celebrate the Halloween season. To kick off the spooky festivities in style, we are returning to the fictional town with the highest body count in California for Wes Craven’s brilliant, ahead-of-its-time meta-slasher: Scream 4. To survive the night against Ghostface, Lemar has designed a custom cocktail called "Return to Woodsboro" - a sharp, blood-red concoction that brings all the high-voltage energy you need to break down the rules of a modern remake. This week, we unpack why Scream 4 stands out as one of the sharpest horror sequels of the 2010s. We gush over Neve Campbell’s unstoppable Sidney Prescott, Courteney Cox and David Arquette’s veteran presence, and Emma Roberts’ iconically unhinged performance as Jill Roberts. We break down Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson’s uncanny ability to predict the rise of social media clout-chasing, analyze that incredible hospital third-act showdown, and debate where this entry lands in our overall ranking of the Scream franchise. If you know the ultimate rule of surviving a horror remake, or if you just want to hear us kick off Halloween month with maximum slasher energy, hit play now. We are blending our deep love for horror with our usual casual banter, making this the perfect opening kill for Spooky Szn. What's your favorite scary movie?
