Scream (1996): Episode 37

In this episode of Scream Queen Podcast, we’re dialing into the ultimate teen slasher of the '90s, Wes Craven’s Scream. With its razor-sharp meta-commentary, iconic Ghostface mask, and rule-breaking final girl, Scream didn’t just revive the slasher genre, it redefined it.

But behind the clever dialogue and bloody set pieces lies a real-world horror. We dive into one of the horrors references The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Inspired by Texarkana Moonlight Murders, a series of unsolved killings in 1946 that haunted a small town. That film’s influence echoed all the way into Scream’s meta-universe.
