The arrival of a new Scream movie this weekend — the sixth in the franchise — means more quips, more jump scares and of course another iteration of the thing the Scream franchise has become most known for: the iconic opening scene. Since the series debuted in 1996, the Scream series has been starting its films off with a bang, or rather a slash, as the knife-wielding Ghostface terrorizes and then ultimately kills their first victim and sets the story into motion.
Last year, the franchise was brought back to life with a fresh, young cast of sardonic teens using their encyclopedic knowledge of horror films to try and guess who was behind the Ghostface mask. The reboot was so well-received from audiences that we’ve got Scream VI releasing this weekend with another reportedly on the way in early 2024.
