Scream

In this 1996 slasher classic, a masked killer with a love for horror movie trivia terrorizes a small town, making the rules of survival as important as the screams. Neve Campbell stars as the resourceful final girl trying to outsmart Ghostface, who’s as quick with a knife as he is with a pop quiz on scary movies. With an unforgettable opening scene featuring Drew Barrymore and some of the best self-aware, meta-dialogue ever written, Scream turns the slasher genre on its head—because when the phone rings, the real question is: "What's your favorite scary movie?" Just hope you know the answer.
