Title: Scream (movies) Medium: English live-action movies Approx length: Four feature-length movies over a span of 15 years. Where to find it: Can be rented from Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, etc What is it, in summary? Slasher horror series about final girl Sidney Prescott, whose story keeps inspiring new killers to try and murder her (in a flip from the classic slasher franchise structure, which largely kept the same killer from one movie to the next with new leads each time). What do you love about it? I love the development of our main characters over the series, both individually and in their relationships with each other. The movies really focus on Sidney's trauma as the final girl, the different ways that she deals with that trauma, and how she grows and changes as a person. The series is also really fun slasher horror and very meta, commenting on classic slasher tropes (although IMO you don't need to be familiar with them to enjoy the Scream movies). And Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott is just very hot. What sort of things are you likely to request for it? Femslash between Sidney and the reporter played by Courteney Cox, in tones ranging from h/c to casefic to horror. Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfill your requests? For a lot of my requests you could get away with only watching the first movie (which tbh is the best one), although IMO the way the characterization builds over the course of the series is one of the best parts. Content warnings: Lots of bloody murder! Mostly stabbings, but a handful of other memorable kills as well. There's also a very weird sexual backstory about Sidney's mom, including some sexual assault.
