There’s truly something for everyone! Here’s a quick guide to each title, including who created it, who stars in it, and what it’s all about, so you can easily find something to watch tonight.

10. ‘Scream 2’ (1997)

I was so excited when Wes Craven brought back Ghostface for another movie! This time, the terror moves to Windsor College, and it’s amazing to see Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette back as their original characters. The cast is incredible with additions like Timothy Olyphant, Jerry O’Connell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jada Pinkett! What really stood out to me was how the script, by Kevin Williamson, cleverly incorporated discussions about movies and how the media reacts to these kinds of events right into the mystery. The attacks happen all over campus, and everything eventually ties back to what happened in Woodsboro – it’s a really smart way to connect the films!
