Resurrecting and Updating the Teen Slasher: The Case of Scream

Abstract

The author examines the Scream trilogy and disputes the perception that the series is conservative and reactionary in its politics. She argues that the films reflect specific 1990s American concerns and contends that the distinctive treatment of the slasher villain and final female survivor reflect a progressive, revolutionary stance.
