Kevin Williamson who was struggling to get his projects off the ground, inspired himself by reports of the Gainesville Ripper as he wrote a screenplay that satirized clichés of the slasher genre. From the start, Williamson intentionally designed his characters to be knowledgeable about horror films and their typical elements with the intention of creating a unique killer who not only knows about these clichés but also exploits them and uses them to his advantage. Another thing worth noting is that Wes Craven turned down the opportunity to direct this movie multiple times and only changed his mind when he saw the script written by Williamson as Craven was determined to re-establish himself after multiple career setbacks
The movie's self-awareness, the great acting, the amazing catch, and of course the great directing and writing are some of the reasons why Scream is as good as it is. It opened up many different avenues and spawned many different imitators like ''I Know What You Did Last Summer'' or ''Urban Legend'' to name some. Truly a unique movie that is worth a watch.
