    This go-round, composer and musician Alex Cuervo was late to the party on SCREAM... and no, this not a repeat. Cuervo was indeed a guest on a previous episode to discuss the original 1996 film, and it went so well, we talked him into doing back-to-back-to-back minisodes for the next three movies in the franchise! This is a unique installment and one instance we will insist that you do listen to the episode with Alex's initial appearance *before* jumping into this one (you'll even hear us hatch the idea for this experiment at the end of it!).

    One of the biggest horror franchises of all time, SCREAM launched two sequels in quick succession, and a "legacy sequel" a decade after that. And on the heels of finishing the original film, Cuervo gives his fresh thoughts on parts 2, 3, and 4, from their casts and cameos to their unique kills and killers! If you've seen the "Phase One" SCREAM sequels, check out these compiled conversations. And if you haven't, you're late to the party, but that's okay; we'll still be here when you get to it!
