The series has seen a massive resurgence with "requels" like Scream (2022) and Scream VI (2023). Most recently, Scream 7 (2026) saw the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott and original writer Kevin Williamson in the director's chair.

The films often explore the influence of media on violence, famously summarized by the line: "Movies don't create psychos, movies make psychos more creative!" . How to Write a Killer Opening to Your Screenplay: 'Scream'

Released in 1996 and directed by Wes Craven, the first film revitalized the slasher sub-genre by blending high-stakes terror with self-aware humor.

The Scream franchise is a cornerstone of the horror genre, known for its approach where characters are aware of "horror movie rules".

The franchise revolves around various killers donning the iconic Ghostface mask , typically targeting Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and her associates in the town of Woodsboro.
