2022/09/06

The “Requel” became synonymous with “Scream” (2022). However, it was Blumhouse that standardized a formula that “Scream” (2022) utilized, something which revived not only the Ghostface series from an eleven-year hiatus but revitalized the horror-slasher genre in general. The formula worked wonderfully in “Halloween” (2018) and “Scream” (2022), but the cracks that began to appear with the release of “Halloween Kills” (2021) are now becoming bigger flaws as we approach the release of “Halloween Ends”

Being a fan of “Scream,” in most cases, means being a fan of Wes Craven. The master of horror, Craven became a household name when he created Freddy Kruger in “A Nightmare on Elm Street” in 1984. While Freddy Kruger may be one of the most iconic villains in horror film history, Craven’s greatest work most probably occurred in his telling of Sidney Prescott’s story in the four “Scream” films.
