Your Favorite Scary Movie: How the Scream Films Rewrote the Rules of Horror | 
pickAn interesting read filled with some insights ,perspectives and fun facts.
pickA wholesome look at the Scream film franchise with input from the creatives & cast. Especially loved the chapters dedicated to Wes Craven‘s memory. 👻
Starting this franchise film analysis by Ashley Cullins and can‘t think of a better accompaniment than by watching the Scream movies as I go. #hauntedshelf #grimreaders
Listening to this while doing errands and perusing Spirit Halloween 🎃
Already learned quite a bit about the ‘Scream‘ franchise but my fave tidbit so far was writer Kevin Williamson was also a Sondheim/‘Into the Woods‘ nerd (like yours truly) and wrote ‘Scream‘ to deconstruct horror like Sondheim did with fairy tales in that musical. 🎭
pickThat was so much fun! This book truly is a love letter to the films, to their place in the horror genre, the self-made whodunnit slasher subgenre. I'd say this is definitely more of a film history, sharing the ins and outs of how each movie was made, but among the reflections and reminiscences there are discussions about how each instance and the series as a whole differs from other horror/slasher movies, 1/?
An essential part of why I love them.
Today I learned shaving cream is the secret to getting fake blood off?! 🪒
Okay, but I really, really want to see the bedazzled Ghostface mask. 💎👻
Interior decorating? 🩸🫣
Happy little trees! 😁🌲🌳
Feels like a cornerstone of a healthy Hollywood set: if you as the director wouldn't feel comfortable doing it, don't make your actors do it. 👏🏻🩸
Promise I'll get back to absorbing nifty Scream movies trivia in a moment, just had to pause for this:
What do you mean TOM HANKS was in a slasher movie?! 🤯 Is this the same Tom Hanks? Was he not acting but directing/producing /writing? Which one feels odder? Was it early in his career? Did that wholesome fellow actually play creepy for once? Just gonna go IMDB...🤔
Getting the DIRECTOR to whistle to pad out the score. Shoestring indeed. 😗🎵
It is time. 💀🔪
FINALLY got my tbr together for #hauntedshelf and #bookspinbingo. 23-25 are going to be free spaces because I wanted more fall vibes romcoms but not sure what yet lol. The tagged is the one I‘m most excited about. Scream is not only my favorite scary movie but probably in my top 10 of favorite movies just in general. #RestlessSpirits
