Scream's Subversive Legacy
Added 2025-11-01 01:02:23 +0000 UTCAnd that's another video in the bag!
I'll lift the curtain on this one a little- I announced I'd been writing a lot and had another, longer, video planned for this month. This is actually not that video. That one is still happening, but actually turned out too long to really do in the time I had planned, so, in a mad dash of inspiration rewatching Scream, I instead returned to an old draft I had on the franchise and spruced it up to get this. It's probably the most I've scrambled and changed things around as I've made it, even affected by the insanely coincidental timing of the trailer for the next movie dropping like a day before I was done- which all feels fitting given how the films were made!
Either way, I hope you guys enjoy it! I've really been pushing myself to finish old ideas and be less precious in just getting my thoughts out there, with plans to take this across into my continuing work on my bigger projects in the next few months. So far, so good, and hopefully more on the way real soon.
Til then!

Wait wait wait wait wait! Wait a minute. All that time, all those movies, all that discourse on the importance of horror movies, the danger of fan worship, the discussion on the continuous narrative and the lasting legacy of an identity rather than the one who wore it, all that to say that Ghostface……..IS A MONKEY?!
