Directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, Scream originally helped revitalise the slasher genre with its combination of scares, dark humour and self-aware characters familiar with horror film conventions.

The ensemble cast also includes Courteney Cox as reporter Gale Weathers and David Arquette as Deputy Dewey Riley, alongside Drew Barrymore, Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan and Jamie Kennedy.
Scream developed a cult following and became regarded as one of the most influential horror films of the 1990s. Its success spawned a long-running franchise with Campbell, Cox and Arquette becoming closely associated with the series. Fans visiting Vue for the anniversary celebrations will be able to purchase special Scream merchandise.
