Join us Thursday, October 29th at 7 PM CT as we talk about the beloved Horror classic “Scream” (1996), directed by Wes Craven.
The sleepy little town of Woodsboro just woke up screaming. There’s a killer in their midst who’s seen a few too many scary movies. Suddenly nobody is safe, as the psychopath stalks victims, taunts them with trivia questions, then rips them to bloody shreds. It could be anybody… Starring Neve Campbell, Drew Barrymore, Courtney Cox, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard, David Arquette, and Skeet Ulrich Discussion
