Its been nearly three decades since Drew Barrymore''s iconic scream first pierced through the night, popcorn burning abandoned on the stove, blood soaking her beige sweater and blonde bob, but Scream is as popular today as ever before. In Your Favorite Scary Movie, journalist Ashley Cullins examines the history and making of the Scream films with behind-the-scenes insight from the movies'' cast and creators (including gleeful descriptions of the backstage summer camp-like atmosphere, and producers threatening to pull the film''s funding because early footage wasn''t scary... at all) and sharp analysis on how the movies'' special blend of gruesome violence and humorous self-awareness completely rewrote the horror movie playbook. Perfect for fans of Scream, horror movies, and general film buffs, this is the story of how a little movie about a ghost-faced killer terrorizing highschoolers overcame countless obstacles to become a historic success that still has audiences screaming over twenty-five years later.
