44: Scream 2 (1997)

Ghostface is back, and so are we! This week, Emma and Ally are diving into Scream 2 (1997), the sequel that slashed its way into theaters and proved that horror follow-ups don’t have to suck.

But was it just as good as the original? Some say yes. Some say better. And with a wild production history—including leaked scripts and secret endings—there’s plenty to unpack.

Join the hosts as they break down the rules of horror sequels, the best and worst kills, and why Sidney Prescott remains that final girl. Let’s get stabby!
