This week, we’re dialing back to Woodsboro to break down the slasher that rewrote the rules: the original Scream. From that legendary opening phone call to Ghostface’s razor-sharp meta kills, we dig into why this movie still sets the standard for modern horror.

We’re joined by author Stephanie Rose (Hiding Lies and the upcoming novella Small Town Slasher), who brings killer insight into suspense, small-town terror, and what makes a slasher really work.

Fast, funny, and full of blood-splattered nostalgia—this episode proves one thing: in Scream, everyone’s a suspect. 📞🔪
