I want to say—not bothering to watch the thing on youtube, it did turn out to be a human. NBC prob had the rights to Duncan's book and then just cranked out the adaptation. I didn't realize Ben Foster and Sarah Chalke were in it too—I did remember Soleil Moon Frye was….

I'm always really confused by the funding credit to us—in Canada.

Yes but he also said there was an overall story that would become clear and reach its climax in season 3

I did find it interesting that Scream led to a brief revival of teen slashers that were aimed at the mainstream and also had a large female audience—the sequels, I Know WHat You Did, Urban Legend, H20, etc then the genre sorta ended up just going back under the mainstream and (to completely stereotype) lost alot of…

Here's a trailer—the whole thing seems to be on youtube. It looks like it takes from Elm Street (at least the claws) and supernatural films like The Craft as well. ANd no wonder I watched it—I had a crush at the time on Christian Campbell…. Neve's brother (he had just done the gay film Trick and was on All My…

*raises hand* Though the only thing I remember really about it was as a teen being excited to see it—and that it was ironic that it was based on a Lois Duncan novel just like IKWYDLS—a film Duncan spoke out against in the media (but maybe she had already sold the rights?—to be fair to Duncan, while I remember I Know…

It's both kinda endearing and hysterical to me that Gale and Dewey AND
Sidney had recognizable theme music by the end. I admit I kinda like
the idea of Sidney as a damaged but powerful "final girl" (one reason I
only really like the Elm Street movies with Nancy and that I did
genuinely like H20—the Scream inspired…

OK, I can't bring myself to re-watch it, despite agreeing with you about the Sidney scenes. Who WAS the killer? I can't for the life of me remember….

And the fact that it was such a rush job (it opened basically exactly a year later, no? and despite Williamson always claiming he had a trilogy lined out, I kinda doubt there was any thought to it until the first one became a hit) is pretty amazing.

I think this is an opinion of every sane fan ;)

Sorry, I wasn't clear. When he started off, his implication was he had a 3 season story mapped out. That doesn't mean that I think he wouldbe happy to see the series end this year (I wouldn't be either) but there's also no doubt that it's why so many of the earlier details are coming to a head this year.

AH, I get your point—and yes, I do think Dorian's motivations have something to do with control. He loses interest when bored, but that boredom often comes with a feeling that he's not the center of someone's fascination (Angelique, Lily—somehow Vanessa escaped…)

That's allowed, as long as you're not talking about the sequel as well (which I only really remember for the final scene which tries to tie it into the first film)

LOL sigh—I guess that's what happens when I read these things at 3am

The best scene, not mentioned here, with Sydney on the set of her own house was apparently one of the few moments from Williamson.

I was a young teen at the time, but I just remember both coming out basically at what seemed to be the peak of a time when the mainstream was tired of horror films.

Yeah New Nightmare is wonderful until the finale when suddenly Freddy seems to return to the campy, wise cracking, not scary version of himself from some of the earlier films (granted, it's been a while since I've seen it—). Never heard there was a different ending planned.

I saw the first Scream at a midnight showing when I was 12 with a few friends. I was REALLY sheltered from horror films as a kid (probably for good reason—my parents talk about me getting nightmares from just seeing tv ads for Elm Street) so, while most of my friends even at that age reacted more to the humour, all I…

The review has way more crap to say about the terrible Scream 3 than 2, so I'm confused by the rankings…

I didn't even remember Foley was in Scream 3…..
