Boy oh boy, we are back and nailing it with “Scream 4!” We’ve got a mix of new and old coming together to cause havoc in the little town of Woodsboro, where once again everyone’s favorite Sydney is at the mercy of Ghostface (or as proven time and time again, Ghostface is at the mercy of Sydney). What a great note to end our spooky-Halloween-horror-film-month-Scream-a-thon! Both Ryan and Tim were fully on board with the new life breathed into the “Scream” franchise, showing that a little time away lends itself to doing a lot. Not to mention, bringing Kevin Williamson back on to write really drove home the perfect meta-meets-meta-ness we’ve grown to love so much. Double “buys” all around. Here’s hoping that when “Scream 5” arrives, it keeps up the tradition.
