Kill Streak

Remember how part 3 was the end of the Scream trilogy?  Well, they lied. 11 years later this ultra-meta sequel burst onto a horror scene that was rife remakes and reboots. Sidney is back in Woodsboro and can you believe it…PEOPLE START GETTING KILLED BY GHOSTFACE! This week we are joined by host of The Vam-Petey Diaries himself Peter Harmon! 

Hot off the heels of the blockbuster smash, this sequel slashed it's way into theaters the following year. The surviving cast is back plus we have a who's who of mid-late 90s actors. It's bigger, it's bloodier, but is it better? Listen and find out! Plus we have Scream 2 lover Matt Wayt on in the final segment to discuss his thoughts. 

What do you say about a movie that single-handedly brought the slasher film back into vogue and defined an entire decade of horror films? A lot!

Frankly, exorcism is kind of an afterthought in this one...but that doesn't mean it's not worth checking out. Stay tuned to th...

Hooooooo boy! This movie is a real doozy. Famously panned by critics, it's considered one of the biggest flops in horror movie history. Is it worthy of the rabid criticism it's received?
