The ultimate story of the Scream movie franchise, featuring interviews from more than eighty key players and an in-depth exploration of the creation and legacy of the films that revived a dying genre

In Your Favorite Scary Movie, entertainment journalist Ashley Cullins examines the making and impact of the Scream films with behind-the-scenes insight from cast, creators, and crew, as well as sharp analysis on how the movies’ special blend of gruesome violence and humorous self-awareness rewrote the horror playbook. This intimate and thorough history includes brand-new interviews from Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Kevin Williamson, Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, Jack Quaid, Parker Posey, Hayden Panettiere, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Radio Silence, Roger L. Jackson, and so many more.

Perfect for fans of Scream, horror lovers, and cinephiles, this is the story of how a little movie about a ghost-faced killer terrorizing high schoolers overcame countless obstacles to become an historic success that still has audiences screaming to this day.

As a Scream fan this was everything. If you're a fan of the films this was so fun to follow along with and super interesting. Having the "Ghostface" narrate the book was an excellent touch too. Cannot wait for Scream7

I loved all the insider info in this audiobook, particularly on the first four Scream films - and the whole chapter about Wes Craven as a man and how well regarded he was by everyone. The narration is performed very well too. The different interviewees are given slightly different voices, which works well. If you like the series you'll love all the tidbits in this title.

One thing I can't look past though is the absolute lashings of unabashed praise towards Scream 5 and 6 in the final few chapters. I found 5 an ok film but 6 might be one of the most ridiculous films I've ever seen. Tons of characters get stabbed then pop back up at the end. The killers were obvious from the first few scenes (except the young male one).
Anyway I wouldn't expect this book to be as critical of it as me but it *could have reflected at least some of negative feedbacks that films received*. It just seemed sycophantic to them generally.

Overall this audiobook was very enjoyable though. There's a *lot* of content on the Scream universe here. Very well researched and written in general.

A very interesting listen overall

A real love letter to all things Scream! Written with passion and narrated by the voice of Ghostface himself? Come on!

It's a Scream, baby!
