Written by Kevin Williamson and directed by the late horror legend, Wes Craven, Scream follows a group of teenagers terrorized by a mysterious killer who’s a little too obsessed with scary movies. Their only hope for survival is to avoid the common horror movie tropes and eventually identify the killer(s).

Featuring an all-star cast including Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Skeet Ulrich, and Drew Barrymore, it kicked off an entire series of movies that followed.

“When it comes to suspenseful horror films of the ‘90s, ‘Scream’ revitalized the genre and created a global franchise,” said Tom Lucas, Fathom Events Vice President of Studio Relations. “Film fans should get ready and buckle up for a fiendishly clever ride this Halloween season at their local theater!”

Fans who attend the special event will be treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the film featuring vintage interviews with Wes Craven, Kevin Williamson, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and more. Scream is also getting it’s first 4K Ultra HD and in a newly remastered Blu-ray™ on October 19, 2021 from Paramount Home Entertainment.
