Celebrating Scream 4’s 15th anniversary, this episode dives into Wes Craven’s return to Woodsboro and Kevin Williamson’s razor-sharp screenplay. We revisit the film’s killer mix of nostalgia and new shocks, spotlighting the standout performances of Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette, along with Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, and an all-star supporting cast—Anthony Anderson, Alison Brie, Adam Brody, Rory Culkin, Erik Knudsen, Marielle Jaffe, Nico Tortorella, Marley Shelton, and Mary McDonnell.
