Capped by me.
Scream (Wes Carpenter, 1996). Ghostface Killer: Pussy Magnet. Everyone loves games!
This was the first slasher movie I ever saw. I watched this film sitting at the theater between my father and my boyfriend at the time, the Cappy, and I got all teary and horrified when (SPOILER) Drew Barrymore bit it in the first three minutes, and wanted desperately to go home. Thankfully, they didn’t let me. I was paranoid and jumpy and squirmy for days. Then I got hooked on the paranoia and jumps and squirms and eventually over the next few years watched every cheesey horror movie I could get my hot little virgin hands on, which lead to Troma, which lead to giallo, which lead to wanting a degree in film, which didn’t go the way I expected but lead me to where I am now, which I wouldn’t trade for anything. All because of Scream.
See? Everyone loves games!
Special thanks to my wonderful Miss D for helping me make all my Scream-screencap dreams come true with the gracious loan of her DVD.

And the butterfly flapped its wings…
I have to agree, the opening scene was probably one of the best of all time as far as slashers go.

Thanks for not letting me leave. Remember driving home we talked about how paranoid it made us??

Yeah, and I also remember being particularly haunted by her trying to scream for her parents who were only 20-30 ft away, but couldn’t hear her since she had no voice anymore. I imagine the psychological horror of that situation in her mind to far exceed any pain she was feeling from her wounds.
