For the month of October, we're celebrating Halloween the only way we know how: by watching a whole bunch of horror movies! Specifically, this October, we're taking a look at a small piece of horror film history by diving into the post-SCREAM teen horror revival of the late 90s and early 00s!

 To kick things off, we're discussing the one film that was probably the most direct result of SCREAM's success, 1997's I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER!

Written by SCREAM's Kevin Williamson and rushed before camera's in order to capitalize on the success of Wes Craven's film, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER is the epitome of late-90s teen horror, for better or for worse.

On this episode, we'll discuss how Williamson's success lead to one of his earlier scripts (itself an adaptation of a young adult novel by Lois Duncan) being taken off the shelf and turned into one of the most successful films to be released in SCREAM's wake, cementing the idea that the slasher revival was fully in effect.
