Today Amber and Gina are diving into the inspiration behind the movie, Scream! Kevin Williamson, the screenwriter behind the 90s cult classic, was inspired to write the script after watching a documentary about Henry David Rolling, the “Gainsville Ripper.” Henry Rolling went on a kiling spree in 1990, taking the lives of five college students over the span of a few days. Let’s break down Rolling’s crimes, and how the themes in Scream correlate directly with the real-life monster.
