This week on End Credits, March comes in like its Halloween! To kick off the third month of the year, we will dig into an all-horror episode by marking an important birthday for the Scream franchise! Before digging into the latest entry in the series, which you can now see in a theatre near you, we will talk about Scream’s legacy, and that of the franchise’s creator.
This Wednesday, March 4, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:
I Scream, You Scream… This year marks the 30th anniversary release of the first Scream movie. An instant sensation, the movie awoken the horror genre from its 90s malaise, led to a dozen imitators, and has still managed to innovate for new generations of horror fans to new levels of success. Before digging into the next chapter, we will look at the ongoing influence of the Scream franchise and the career of its creator Kevin Williamson.
REVIEW: Scream 7 (2006). $64 million at the box office can’t be wrong, right? The opening weekend haul of Scream 7 indicates that the franchise still has its fans, and so does the returning final girl Neve Campbell. After sitting out Scream VI, Campbell’s Sidney Prescott takes centre stage again as her quiet family life in a small town is shattered when Ghostface re-enters the chat, and this time Sidney’s daughter Tatem will learn what it takes to be a Scream Queen too. Intriguing, but can Scream still slay in its seventh outing?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
