SCREAM

Recommended Posts

If we're not getting JESSE JAMES, I nominate the "Nevermind" of 90's horror movies. People forget that the reason this movie worked isn't necessarily the references, it's the fact that it's actually a great mystery that works in every way. And it rides its mixed tone with incredible precision.

 

Also... it spawned a bunch of shitty knock-offs.

I would love an episode on Scream. This movie is not only, as you correctly point out, a great mystery and real horror movie, it's also flat-out hilarious and a joy to watch every time. Like one of Devin's favorites, Shaun of the Dead, it manages to both be a parody AND a genuine entry into the genre it's parodying.

Also like you point out, it was definitely the start of a new wave of self-aware horror films. No matter how grateful we may or may not be about this fact, there's no denying the cultural impact this movie had both on its own terms when it came out and what came after it.
