Well, being new, I should probably not admit this. But I like all 3 Scream movies for what they are. I don't think they are serious horror by any stretch, and I like the smugness. In fact, I'll go so far as to call Scream 1 genius. Using Halloween in the background was extremely clever on Cravens part. And yes, Scream created inferior clones ad-nauseum. But at the very least, it brought back horror as a bankable option which can only help us get more horror movies, good and bad. The bottom line is, many of these new horror movies, and even the better independant ones, would have never existed had Wes Craven not exploded the genre with Scream.

3.....2......1......prepare to be lambasted...
