Summary

In honor of Scream VI's release in theaters this weekend, we're re-releasing last year's discussion of the original Scream - tomorrow we'll be back with a brand new episode! Paul & Amy don't follow the rules for 1996's Wes Craven meta-horror-comedy Scream! They learn Craven's secret to making horror films that resonate, argue that the iconic Ghostface mask works better than a more distinctive look, and unpack the archetype of the "Final Girl." Plus: Henry Winkler and the movie's best in-joke.

1:09.2

So I thought it was a good chance for us to go back and talk about this.

1:12.4

Screen is again another giant franchise, 1996 to 2023 and there are plans for more.

1:20.0

Yeah and I deeply love Screen 1 as we are about to hear.

1:23.6

I think this is just one of the greatest little horror punk franchise kicker offers that

1:29.1

ever happened.

1:30.1

So this conversation to me was so fun and I'm really glad to bring it back out of the

1:33.7

vault to take the ghost mask off this old episode and just say, here I am guys, you

1:39.3

will look for me.

1:40.3

And if you do like this episode, I would also say go back and try to find our episode on

Nightmare on Elm Street because I think that our conversation about Wes Craven is
