After years of third-rate films, horror fans welcomed the arrival of a movie that wasnt stupid, cheap or Maniac Cop III: Badge Of Silence, and Scream went on to become one of the highest grossing slashers of all time, grossing $173 million worldwide. The film references Psycho and Halloween, but unlike those pictures, its not interested in portraying the world of horror that lurks just outside normality. Screams killer isnt a faceless assassin whose sudden appearance sends a jolt through the audience, but a pair of hyperactive teenagers who want to test their victims trivia knowledge before killing them. For all its attempts to be smart and edgy, the film is really a Scooby Doo episode writ large, complete with a climactic unmasking and a Talking Villain. The situation isnt helped when one of the killers is revealed to be Matthew Lillard, who later played Shaggy in the Scooby Doo movie and voiced the character in Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated. In fact, an actor from every Scream film has voiced a character in the show, including Patrick Warburton, who played Steven Stone in Scream 3. His character in Mystery Incorporated, by the way, is named Sheriff Bronson Stone.
