About this listen

From entertainment journalist Ashley Cullins, the definitive story of the Scream movie franchise, with more than eighty exclusive interviews from key players and an in-depth exploration of the creation and legacy of the films that revived a dying genre

It has been more than three decades since Drew Barrymore’s iconic scream first pierced through the night, Scream is as popular today as ever before.

In Your Favorite Scary Movie, journalist Ashley Cullins examines the legacy and making of the Scream films with behind-the-scenes insight from cast, creators, and crew, as well as sharp analysis on how the movies’ special blend of gruesome violence and humorous self-awareness rewrote the horror playbook. This intimate and thorough history tells the complete story of Scream with brand-new interviews from Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Kevin Williamson, Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, Jack Quaid, Parker Posey, Hayden Panettiere, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Radio Silence, Roger Jackson, and so many more.

Perfect for fans of Scream, horror lovers, and cinephiles, this is the story of how a little movie about a ghost-faced killer terrorizing high schoolers overcame countless obstacles to become an historic success that still has audiences screaming to this day.

Critic Reviews

"This killer history of one of horror's most enduring franchises is a must-read for anyone who likes scary movies. I devoured it like it was a bowl of Jiffy Pop."—Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of Final Girls

“Your Favorite Scary Movie is an absolute treasure trove of Scream goodies for horror fans. Kudos to Ashley Cullins for slaying it with this story—her love for the franchise bleeds through every page. This book makes me feel like I’m right back in the theater, watching Drew Barrymore answer that first call from Ghostface all over again.”—Jimmy Juliano, author of Dead Eleven

"Like many movie lovers of a certain age, Scream was a formative theater-going experience for me. Your Favorite Scary Movie is a pleasant reminder of why it left such an impression on tweenage me and countless others. This deep dive into not only the making of the first Scream but all the films that came after is a must-read for anyone looking to understand why this scary movie franchise still has such a chokehold on us."—Shannon Carlin, author of Witches Run Amok: The Oral History of Disney’s Hocus Pocus
