REBROADCAST • HER TOP IS FROM DELIA'S • It's Like This - HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR

Original Airdate: 31 October 2022"Now Sid, don’t you blame the movies. Movies don’t create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!"Happy Halloween! This week we're watching a classic slasher flick!Scream is a 1996 American slasher film directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson. The film stars Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan, Skeet Ulrich, Jamie Kennedy, and Drew Barrymore. Released on December 20, it follows high school student Sidney Prescott (Campbell) and her group of friends in the fictional town of Woodsboro, California, who become the targets of a mysterious killer in a Halloween costume known as Ghostface. The film satirizes the clichés of the slasher genre popularized in films such as Halloween (1978), Friday the 13th (1980) and Craven's own A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Scream was considered unique at the time of its release for featuring characters aware of real-world horror films who openly discussed the clichés that the film attempted to subvert.Inspired by the real-life case of the Gainesville Ripper, Scream was influenced by Williamson's passion for horror films, especially Halloween (1978). Scream was credited with revitalizing the slasher genre in the 1990s, which was considered to be almost dead following an influx of direct-to-video titles and numerous sequels to established horror franchises of the 1970s and 1980s. Scream's success spawned a series of sequels.CONNECT WITH THE SHOWInstagram - TikTok - TwitterSend us your questions or stories you'd life for us to talk about to: itslikethispod@gmail.com or contact@rodwartonproductions.com
