SCREAM with Ryan C. Showers

Happy Halloween! In this special, surprise bonus episode, Ryan looks at Patrick Dempsey's statements on The Today Show about starring in Scream 7 last week. Then, Ryan discusses the point of view in which he comes to Halloween – defined by the final girl, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) rather than the villain in Michael Myers – and how it's informed by Scream. Additionally, Ryan discusses how the plot of Halloween H20 is the blueprint of what Scream 7 could be.
