Scream Fanatic
Let me paint a picture for you. So it’s 1997 and me and my big sister Rudy are hanging out over my dad’s house for the weekend. My pops shares a place with his best friend who is like my uncle and whenever we come over he lets us borrow his copy of the movie Scream to watch. This movie had just come out at the end of 96’ and was literally one of the biggest movies in the world at the time. It also had a sequel that was on the way at the end of 97’ and would level the playing field of horror and slasher at the time. The foundation of what would be my top favorite movie series ever was being laid.
