With Scream 7 on the horizon, we’re revisiting the entire franchise. On this episode of Post Credit Lounge, we break down Scream (1996) through Scream VI, examining how the series evolved from Wes Craven’s original meta-horror trilogy into the modern era of requels and franchise reinvention. We discuss what made the original trilogy iconic, how Scream 4 shifted the tone, and whether the newer films successfully carry the spirit of Ghostface forward. Is Scream still the smartest horror franchise — or has nostalgia reshaped it? This is our full retrospective on Scream 1–6.
