Almost thirty years since the debut of Wes Craven‘s “Scream” in 1996 — this chilling flick about Woodsboro High School pupils tormented by a relentless serial murderer continues to be a favorite in the horror genre across various age groups.
Some of the standout talents feature Skeet Ulrich in the role of Billy, Neve Campbell portraying Sidney, Matthew Lillard as Stu, Rose McGowan as Tatum, and Jamie Kennedy as Randy.
The tale initiated with Drew Barrymore‘s now-legendary microwave mishap and a spine-chilling phone conversation, culminating in a “scream” that arrived just a second too late … All against an unsettling background score, of course.
Just two years into her tenure on “Friends,” Courteney Cox embraced the character of Gale Weathers — the ambitious tabloid reporter who becomes enamored with the local police officer, Dewey …
Dewey, played by David Arquette, is the nervous deputy sheriff committed to safeguarding Sidney from the maniac. Despite no longer being a pair, a romance blossomed off-screen between Courteney and David, which ultimately dissolved in 2010.
“Scream” has swiftly established itself as a terrifying classic, spawning 6 sequels with a 7th expected to be released in 2026. The series has showcased prominent Hollywood talents such as Jada Pinkett Smith — recognized in this unforgettable cinema scene from 1997’s “Scream 2.”
By the way, if you’re not in the loop, “Scream” is the origin of the legendary Ghostface mask, which has remained a perennial favorite for costume enthusiasts!
