Scream Turns 30: How It Conquered Pop Culture by Breaking the rules

Scream turns 30, and Bloody Good Horror takes a deep dive into the movie that reshaped not only the horror genre, but wider pop culture. We look at the lightning in a bottle created by the joining of fright master Wes Craven with the voice of 90s youth, Kevin Williamson, how it brilliantly skewers the "rules" of the horror film while flipping them on their head, and how the cinematography, production design and score take the whole endeavor way over the top. Plus, a look at the 90s cultural context that Scream stepped into, why it was the Obsession of its day, and how the sequels have largely failed to capture the magic that made the original so special. After the break, we've got a packed round of horror news, including our conversation with the newly announced SAW director, Zach Cregger launching strays at Shudder, Resident Evil RT reviews going crazy and more. 👻Support Bloody Good Horror, gain live stream access, join our Slack and get the entire back catalog by visiting us at: https://www.patreon.com/bloodygoodhorror BGH on social media (Now on Substack!) 🩸https://x.com/bghorror 🩸https://www.instagram.com/bloodygoodhorror/ 🩸https://substack.com/@bloodygoodhorror 🩸https://www.facebook.com/bloodygoodhorror 🩸https://www.tiktok.com/@bgoodhorror 🩸https://www.threads.com/@bloodygoodhorror 00:25 Intro 05:44 Word of the Day 07:06 Review 1:08:01 Break 1:11:06 Horror News 1:20:02 Fan Mail Learn more about your ad choices.
