"스크림(Scream)" is a popular horror film franchise that began with the original movie released in 1996. Directed by Wes Craven, the film revitalized the slasher genre by combining traditional horror elements with self-referential humor. It follows a group of teenagers who become targets of a masked killer known as Ghostface, who uses horror movie tropes to taunt his victims. The franchise has expanded to include several sequels, with the latest installment, "Scream 5," released in 2022. Each film features a mix of returning characters, such as Sidney Prescott played by Neve Campbell, and new faces, while maintaining the signature blend of suspense and wit that has made "Scream" a cultural phenomenon.
