    I’m pretty sure the creators of the original film almost wanted a parody of slasher films, which is why it’s so over the top ridiculous at some points lmao

      I watched Scary Movie before I watched Scream and I was surprised how similar they actually are. Of course Scary Movie dials the ridiculousness up to eleven, but Scream is just as much of a parody itself.

        I’d say Scream veers much closer to satire than parody. It’s more focused on the commentary than the comedy. It does make use of comedy, but it’s not solely focused on just that.
