History

Historical Context

Released on December 20, 1996, Wes Craven's *Scream* revitalized the horror genre, grossing $173 million on a $15 million budget. Inspired by real-life events like the Gainesville Ripper murders, it cleverly satirized slasher tropes, leading to a surge in teen-centric horror films. This success established *Scream* as a cultural touchstone, influencing future productions and solidifying its place in cinematic history.
