Scream

Who knew Jiffy Pop could add so much tension to a scene?

With Scream 4 hitting theaters, it’s time for Now Playing Podcast to follow the rules and kick off a full retrospective of the Scream series, one of the defining horror franchises of the last two decades. It started in 1996, when Ghostface began stalking a new generation of teens, including Neve Campbell, Jamie Kennedy, Rose McGowan, and Drew Barrymore, under the direction of horror veteran Wes Craven. Clever, self-aware, and bloody as hell, Scream rewrote the slasher playbook, influencing 20 years of horror. But nearly 15 years later, does it still cut deep, or has the meta magic faded? Join Arnie, Stuart, and Marjorie to find out.
