Summary

Slasher film Scream was developed after screenwriter Kevin Williamson saw a show about serial killer Danny Rolling, otherwise known as the Gainesville Ripper. While Rolling’s name is well known as part of the inspiration for the movie, his victims are not discussed nearly enough. This is the story of the murders of Sonja Larson, Christina Powell, Christa Hoyt, Manny Taboda, Tracey Paules, and Tom, Julie, and Sean Grissom.
