The Scream franchise is a series of horror movies that debuted in 1996 and became a cultural phenomenon. The franchise began with the movie Scream, directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson. The movie follows high school student Sidney Prescott as she and her friends are hunted by a masked killer known as Ghostface. The movie combined elements of slasher films and black comedy to create a unique and self-aware horror experience that proved popular with audiences. Scream was a box office success and spawned three sequels, with the latest one being released in 2011. The franchise is well-known for its iconic Ghostface character, who has become a cultural icon in the horror genre. The distinctive mask and voice created a new symbol in popular culture, with the Ghostface mask being associated with Halloween costumes and pop culture merchandise. The franchise is also notable for its self-referential and meta commentary on horror tropes and clichés. Scream is a franchise that continues to captivate audiences, more than twenty years since its inception.

Introduction to Scream is an upcoming horror movie directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. This movie is planned to be the fifth installment in the Scream franchise, which began in 1996. Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette will reprise their roles as Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers, and Dewey Riley, respectively. Along with the original cast members, the movie will also feature new characters played by Jack Quaid, Melissa Barrera, and Jenna Ortega, among others. The plot of Introduction to Scream revolves around a series of murders in a small town, which bear a striking resemblance to the killings depicted in the original Scream movies. Sidney, Gale, and Dewey return to their hometown to investigate the murders, and they are soon joined by a new group of teenagers who become targets of the killers. The movie promises to be a modern take on the classic slasher genre, with meta-humor, suspense, and some scares. Fans of the franchise are eagerly anticipating the release of Introduction to Scream, which is set to hit theaters in January 2022.

Filmmaker Wes Craven has consistently and imaginatively scared movie audiences since the early 1970s. His films encompass a variety of styles, elements and themes, from the nihilistic existentialism of The Last House on the Left to the successful A Nightmare on Elm Street (which sent horror in a bold new direction), to the hallucinatory dreamscapes of The Serpent and the Rainbow. And in the nineties, Craven returned with the Scream films, which were simultaneously funny, clever and scary films that overturned the horror cliches of the eighties. The present work provides a history of Craven's film career since 1972, examining all the themes and techniques the filmmaker explored. For each film, a synopsis, cast and credits, historical context, and critical commentary are provided. Also covered in detail are Craven's forays into television, including movies such as Stranger in the House and work on such series as The New Twilight Zone.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER VOTED GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD BEST HORROR NOVEL OF 2021 A Good Morning America Buzz Pick “The horror master…puts his unique spin on slasher movie tropes.”-USA Today A can't-miss summer read, selected by The New York Times, Oprah Daily, Time, USA Today, The Philadelphia Inquirer, CNN, LitHub, BookRiot, Bustle, Popsugar and the New York Public Library In horror movies, the final girls are the ones left standing when the credits roll. They made it through the worst night of their lives…but what happens after? Like his bestselling novel The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, Grady Hendrix’s latest is a fast-paced, frightening, and wickedly humorous thriller. From chain saws to summer camp slayers, The Final Girl Support Group pays tribute to and slyly subverts our most popular horror films—movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Scream. Lynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece. But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.

Examining the popularity of low-budget cinema, particularly slasher, occult, and rape-revenge films, the author argues that, while such films have been traditionally understood as offering only sadistic pleasure to their mostly male audiences, in actuality they align spectators not with the male tormentor but with the females being tormented--particularly the slasher movie's "final girls"--Who endure fear and degradation before rising to save themselves.--Adapted from publisher description.
