Your favorite scary movie: how the Scream films rewrote the rules of horror
(Book)
Description
"From debut author Ashley Cullins, the definitive story of the Scream movie franchise, with dozens of exclusive interviews from key players and an in-depth exploration of the creation and legacy of the films that rebooted a dying genre It has been more than three decades since Drew Barrymore's iconic scream first pierced through the night-burning popcorn abandoned on the stove, blood soaking her beige sweater and blond 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, creators, and crew (including gleeful descriptions of the backstage, summer-camp-like atmosphere and candid conversations about the more challenging moments), as well as sharp analysis on how the movies' special blend of gruesome violence and humorous self-awareness completely rewrote the horror 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 high schoolers overcame countless obstacles to become a historic success that still has audiences screaming over thirty years later." --
