Scream - Collection [DVD]

Product Information

Why it’s great: This was the moment where “Scream” really became the meta horror franchise we all know it as. The first movie was a brilliant play on the genre tropes that fans had come to recognize, but you’d be forgiven for thinking that its premise had reached its logical conclusion. Once Craven and Williamson blew up their world and started introducing fictional movies to the “Scream” universe, they paved the way for all the delightful weirdness that would come in the 21st century. While Sidney and her friends visit the Hollywood set of Stab 3, the third film based on the Woodsboro murders, another Ghostface killer rises to terrorize them. Perfect for: Anyone who loved the humor of “22 Jump Street” but wished more characters got brutally dismembered. —CZ

There are six Scream movies in total. The latest installment in the Scream franchise was released in March 2023, and it’s a direct sequel to the 2022 Scream.

The newest installment in the acclaimed franchise that ushered in a new wave of horror in the 1990s is written by series creator Kevin Williamson and directed by suspense master and director of the first trilogy, Wes Craven. The slightly-less-meta nature of “Scream VI” made it clear that this franchise doesn’t need to tie itself to film industry trends to thrive — and its early critical and commercial success suggest that there’s no reason to think it’ll end soon. The latest film’s producers recently told IndieWire that they hope the series will continue forever, so horror fans should strap in for another 26 years of Ghostface stabbings!

The series is imagined as a comedy and delivers some nice dark humor sequences, but if you’re looking for something resembling the original films, this won’t be the show for you.
