This week on Scaredy Pants, we go back to where it all began with Scream (1996) — the slasher that knew the rules, broke them, and then dared you to answer the phone anyway.
Set in the seemingly quiet town of Woodsboro, Scream follows a group of horror-savvy teens being stalked by a masked killer who’s a little too obsessed with scary movies. We talk opening scenes that permanently rewired the genre, how Scream balances genuine tension with sharp humor, and why this movie still works whether you’re a horror superfan or a certified scaredy pants. Is Scream scary because it’s violent, or because it knows exactly what you’re expecting?
