Daly Notes (presented by Almost Sideways): Scream (1996) Deep Dive w/ CarnageCandyy

On Daly Notes (present by Almost Sideways) Adam and his special guest, Lizzi - aka - Carnage Candyy, do a complete deep dive of the classic Horror from 1996, Scream! Directed by Wes Craven! Starring - Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Skeet Ulrich, and Matthew Lillard!

Wes Craven re-invented and revitalized the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high-school students in middle-class suburbia. Craven is happy to provide both tension and self-parody as the body count mounts - but the victims aren't always the ones you'd expect.
