Your Favorite Scary Movie: How the Scream Films Rewrote the Rules of Horror by Ashley Cullins
informative
medium-paced
5.0
As a die-hard Scream fan (my cat is literally named after Sidney), I absolutely loved this book. You can feel the passion and care Ashley Cullins poured into every page—it’s not just a collection of facts, it’s a love letter to the franchise and the legacy of Wes Craven.
I devoured 60% of it in one sitting. I couldn’t get enough of the cast quotes, the behind-the-scenes details, and the heartfelt stories that show just how much everyone involved adored Wes and believed in his vision.
Reading it also made me reflect on the direction of the franchise. I can’t help but wonder how different—and possibly stronger—movies 3 and 4 might’ve been if Kevin Williamson had been the main writer behind them. This book reignited my appreciation for everything Scream stands for, and honestly, made me want to rewatch the entire series all over again.
