## Resource

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. Listen in for behind-the-scenes stories, a breakdown of the film’s twists and meta-horror sensibilities, and reflections on its lasting impact on the franchise as an entry that was way ahead of its time. Joining in for this discussion is Alex and Dean of the Return Revenge Resurrection podcast to throw in their expertise as to why Scream 4 has emerged as the fan favorite of the franchise all these years later.
