YOUR FAVORITE SCARY MOVIE

Ashley Cullins

How the Scream Films Rewrote the Rules of Horror

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 highschoolers overcame countless obstacles to become a historic success that still has audiences screaming over twenty-five years later.
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 and creators (including gleeful descriptions of the backstage summer camp-like atmosphere, and producers threatening to pull the film's funding because early footage wasn't scary.... at all) and sharp analysis on how the movies' special blend of gruesome violence and humorous self- awareness completely rewrote the horror movie playbook. Ashley Cullins is a multi-faceted journalist with more than a decade of experience. After graduating with a master's degree in Journalism from Northwestern University's prestigious Medill School, Cullins began her career in broadcast news before making the jump to print. Over the years, she has covered everything from high-stakes litigation and emerging business trends to human interest features.
