Scream May Be the Only Horror Franchise That Can Never Die
The Scream movies and its primary villain are different from other horror franchises, which allows it to keep the story going for years to come.
When it comes to horror movies that changed and influenced the genre, many may come to mind for different reasons. Each film has molded the horror genre in some way, but there is one franchise in particular that has really made it what it is today and that’s Scream. Scream was unique in how it balanced its humor and horror aspects, and opted for a more self-aware approach that sort of poked fun at classic horror tropes. It’s an approach that easily could have gone off the wayside but instead instantly became a classic. From the “whodunnit” aspect, to the genuinely funny humor, and the surprisingly effective scares, Scream set up a new era of horror that is still prevalent today. It also helps that Wes Craven is the mastermind behind the film, as well as other horror classics such as The Hills Have Eyes, The Last House on the Left, and of course, A Nightmare on Elm Street.
