New Sofadogs Commentary!
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010
Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson’s 1996 slasher hit, Scream.
Hey Geeks, Scott here.
Just wanted to let you know that I recorded a fan commentary with John Pavlich of Sofadogs fame. This one is for a personal favorite, the 1996 modern classic, Scream. Check it out here and let me know what you think.
From Sofadogs:
Back in the mid-to-late 90s’, a young writer burst onto the scene with a big, self aware love letter to the slasher genre. Respected horror master Wes Craven signed on to direct and Scream was born, thus revitalizing and innovating the teen scare flick onward. In a quaint, sleepy town, a masked psycho is terrorizing the teens of Woodsboro.
Using horror films of old as a modus operandi, the killer rattles young victims by phone before brutally slaughtering them. Specifically, the mysterious “Ghostface” preys on innocent high schooler, Sidney Prescott, whose Mother was raped and murdered only a year prior. Is the past trauma connected to these new murders? Who’s the killer and why?
Please join Scott Carelli and I as we take a look back at one of the most iconic slasher films of our adolescence. In this commentary, we discuss Kevin Williamson’s writing style and characters, Wes Craven’s directorial choices and the state of the horror genre at the time. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the film on your DVD.

Just recorded commentary for Scream 2 today. So that should be up soonish. These are a lot of fun, so we’re planning on doing Scream 3 very soon as well :)
Loved it, just thought I’d tell you that Dimension studios is still around, the Weinsteins took it with them when they left Miramax, they just put out Youth in Revolt under that production company.
Oh nice. Good to know. Thanks for listening!
It was a lot of fun listening to this, I hadn’t watched the movie in years and it was fun to return to it. Definitely looking forward to the Scream 2 and 3 commentaries.
I was pleased to read this article, keep up the good work.
What a coincidence, I bought the Scream 3 pack not long ago.
Really enjoyed it and look forward to 2 and 3 commentaries.
Can you believe Arquette and Cox are still married? Pretty cool.
