Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott in Scream.

As the first Scream movie approaches its 30th birthday, original star Neve Campbell reflects on the past three decades of Ghostface's antics and says the franchise is still going strong because it offers something different to the horror genre.

I think they were all sort of living the same tone," said Campbell to GamesRadar+. "And scream came along, and Kevin wrote this brilliant new, sort of groundbreaking script that had this meta aspect looking at the genre itself."
