Movie: Scream (1996)
Overview: Scream (1996) is a self-aware horror classic that redefined the slasher genre for a new generation. Directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, the film follows teenager Sidney Prescott as she becomes the target of a masked killer obsessed with horror movie tropes. Blending suspense, satire, and sharp dialogue, Scream revitalized a genre that had grown stagnant, cleverly referencing horror’s past while carving a bold new path forward.
Professor Paul Miller will explore Scream’s enduring pop culture relevance and how it reshaped the slasher genre through its metatextual humor, genre-savvy characters, and commentary on media violence. In his presentation before the film, Professor Miller will examine how Scream bridges horror tradition with 1990s cultural anxieties, sparking a wave of self-referential horror and influencing a generation of filmmakers.
