About Scream

Scream was a film released in 1996. The film was directed by Wes Craven. The idea of the film was to bring the 70’s era slasher films back into focus with a new idea. However, Scream was a bit different than your typical slasher film. Instead of being truly horrific it was more of a comedy with plenty of “screams” to fill the screen. Neve Campbell played the lead girl in the film. She lost her mother and then was terrorized by someone killing teenage girls. Scream was such a success it was one of the highest grossing films of the year. They also made 3 other films as sequels. The fourth film was announced in 2008, but has yet to be released.

Dressing up as Scream

The main costume in the movie was that of a grim reaper. A person dressed in black robes, with a hood, going around in a white mask was the official costume. Today you can find a similar black robe, with the white mask. The white mask has two large dark holes for the eyes, and an open mouth set in a “Scream” like appearance. To complete the costume a fake knife dripping with fake blood is a nice touch.
