Scream
The ‘Scream’ franchise is one of the most influential horror series of the modern era, combining slasher conventions with sharp satire of the horror genre itself. Created by writer Kevin Williamson and launched by director Wes Craven’s 1996 film ‘Scream’, the franchise follows a succession of Ghostface killers who target victims while referencing the rules and clichés of horror cinema.
Led by recurring characters including Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley, the series revitalised the slasher genre during the 1990s and has expanded to include six feature films, a television series, novels, comics and video games. Known for its self-aware humour, suspense and memorable masked villain, the ‘Scream’ franchise remains one of horror’s most commercially successful and critically acclaimed properties.
