In the now-classic, ingenious opening scene of Wes Craven’s Scream, Casey Becker howls at her assailant that she’s seen Friday the 13th “20 goddamn times!” Pathetic, Casey! Because I’ve seen Scream 103 times. I know this because I was 12. And I counted. The genre subverting (and genre-saving!) film turned 20 this month, proving that…
The original Scream is one of my favorite movies of all time. I’ve literally seen it over 100 times. I know this because 1) I am insane, 2) because I counted, and 3) because I’m a huge geek. I was giddy with delight at seeing that Stu Macher’s (Matthew Lillard) house, the property they filmed…
Whenever I sit down to write a review or discuss some breaking pop culture news, I always have two avenues to choose from: 1) Write about said topic in a serious, thoughtful, sometimes journalistic way, or 2) Freak out, go bananas, and add in a few swears for good measure. I assure you, when I…
(This post is completely, 100% SPOILER FREE! Read with ease!) I was only 12 when I saw the first installment of the franchise that would eventually affect my entire outlook on films.

There’s a new Scream 4 trailer – and this one’s over two minutes long! The anticipation is destroying my LIFE right now, man. (I literally have a Scream 4 clipping from EW on my fridge right now. NERD ALERT!) If the new No Doubt record drops in April as well – I shall declare it…
This is the bajillionth post about Scream 4 in the last few weeks and I warn you, gentle readers: It’s only going to get worse as we get closer to April 15th, 2011. This teaser trailer debuted at the Scream Awards and has leaked on the Interweb. Check it! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNGv4vo_lbs] ComingSoon.net has a 30-second-longer offering…
Scream 4 is filming. Horror fans around the world, rejoice! OK…so maybe I’m overhyping this messiah to the genre film a little too much, but c’mon! The Cox-Arquettes are in, as is Neve Campbell. Wes Craven is back in action, with a screenplay from original writer Kevin Williamson. That’s at least a good start, right?…
Two years ago, the Weinsteins announced a reboot of the Scream franchise – a fourth movie that would possibly kick off a brand new trilogy. I, a diehard Scream fan was against it. Over the course of time, new light has been shed on the project, making me slighly more optimistic about the series’ future.…
Please God, don’t let it be true… Apparently, I was oblivious until someone at Vevmo started a thread about it, but the Weinsteins are gung-ho about re-booting the Scream franchise….except there’s no word on who will come back to the series. Can this be done without the creative genious duo of Wes Craven and Kevin…
