“Do you like scary movies?” -- Scream
For someone who loves Halloween I surprisingly don’t love scary movies. I’m too much of a chicken! I do appreciate the classics and if it’s at least a little bit campy I’ll be brave and watch it. I just heard about the passing of Wes Craven and it brought back a flood of Scream memories.Â
I’ll never forget being a teenager and watching Scream with my friends when it came out in theaters. That mask! The 90s! Drew Barrymore! Remember when Ghostface stabs her outside and tries to strangle her and then her parents arrive home and you think maybe she’s gonna be okay but she has no voice to call out to them so they don’t even notice she’s being attacked and then Ghostface finally kills her and hangs her from that tree and the whole time you’re like, “Holy crap! Drew Barrymore actually dies in the very first scene?!”
RIP Wes Craven. You were a scary movie genius.
