"From debut author Ashley Cullins, the definitive story of the Scream movie franchise, with dozens of exclusive interviews from key players and an in-depth exploration of the creation and legacy of the films that rebooted a dying genre It has been more than three decades since Drew Barrymore's iconic scream first pierced through the night-burning popcorn abandoned on the stove, blood soaking her beige sweater and blond bob--but Scream is as popular today as ever before. 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, creators, and crew (including gleeful descriptions of the backstage, summer-camp-like atmosphere and candid conversations about the more challenging moments), as well as sharp analysis on how the movies' special blend of gruesome violence and humorous self-awareness completely rewrote the horror playbook. 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 high schoolers overcame countless obstacles to become a historic success that still has audiences screaming over thirty years later"-- Provided by publisher.
