Scream 25th Anniversary will play in select movie theaters on Sunday, October 10th at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., and Monday, October 11th at 7:00 p.m. (all times local). Fans who attend the special event will also be treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the film featuring vintage interviews with Wes Craven, Kevin Williamson, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and more.
Synopsis:
Wes Craven re-invented and revitalized the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever, and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high-school students in middle-class suburbia. Craven is happy to provide both tension and self-parody as the body count mounts – but the victims aren’t always the ones you’d expect.
Tickets for Scream 25th Anniversary can be purchased online at www.fathomevents.com or at participating theater box offices beginning Friday, August 20th. A complete list of theater locations is available on the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).
Directed by Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and written by Kevin Williamson (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Scream is a brilliant deconstruction of the horror genre that pays homage to the conventions of slasher films while upending them with clever twists and witty dialogue.
After a series of mysterious deaths befalls their small town, an offbeat group of friends led by Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) becomes the target of a masked killer. As the body count rises, Sidney and her friends turn to the “rules” of horror films to help navigate the real-life terror they’re living in.

“When it comes to suspenseful horror films of the ‘90s, Scream revitalized the genre and created a global franchise,” said Tom Lucas, Fathom Events Vice President of Studio Relations. “Film fans should get ready and buckle up for a fiendishly clever ride this Halloween season at their local theater!”
In celebration of its 25th anniversary and just in time for Halloween, Scream will be released for the first time on 4K Ultra HD and in a newly remastered Blu-ray™ on October 19th, 2021, from Paramount Home Entertainment. The discs include a brand-new look back at the film and director Wes Craven, featuring archival behind-the-scenes footage and new interviews with stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette.
