With this latest entry Scream has become the type of movie it once satirized.  I’ve been a fan of the Scream  franchise since the first movies came out in 1996, 1997 and 2000 respectively.  If you grew up in the late 90’s/early 2000’s, then I’m sure you remember the ubiquitous Ghostface costumes that showed up every Halloween.
