SCREAM: Original Soundtrack
My personal opinion is that this "Soundtrack Album" is a good listen, Since buying it back in the late 90`s i STILL listen to it to this day! Songs that arent annoying or too stupid or with lyrics that are either too fast to understand or too slow to wait to listen to. A few songs on there that not everyone notices in the movies though,not unless you really listen out for them!

15 years ago.... SCREAM arrived...
Well it seems ages away now but its fact, 15 years ago a new thriller came out and sadly didnt get the start-up it deserved, audiences soon came to though when seeing the film realising it was a total mind blower! A film that poked fun at the rules and situations of other horror movies, yet the main cast were somehow in one too with recent events in their town! Happily after a short while the film-makers and cast got what they deserved in the results of the box office and all their hard work paid off, with this a sequel was ready and a third film, but SCREAM is what started all the hype about Horror films again, what got the Ghostface mask noticed all over the world, what made audiences SCREAM! And here we are today, fans with websites and forums and blogs still raving on about it.. need i say more?! ... Roll on Scream 5 is all i say!!
