The Future of the Scream Franchise

Um, but I, I liked it so much that I did write a solid, um, four or five page section on it in my book, 'cause I thought it was well worth adding to my book on the horror cycle, and it melted lots of Scream things together that we recognize, and it also did lots of new things that were sort of new for trying to serialize a slasher, which no one had really done at that point.

I can talk about that at length, but I'm aware that other people have got their hand up.

But on that line, when I think about the types of horror films that I've enjoyed in recent years that aren't necessarily slashers, but I've enjoyed the way that they've done things, I particularly enjoyed Host in 2020.

I really enjoyed Unfriended and, you know, the films like Open Windows and all the stuff that, that deal with screens and addiction and all those things.
