I've been a horror fan since I was 5 and saw Nightmare On Elm Street. My love for scary was solidified.

In Dec 1996, I came to St. Louis to visit my mom for the holiday. On NYE, we decided to see a movie and she said, "There's a new horror film called #Scream out." #areview
Cell phones were a new concept and the web was in it's infancy. There were no trailers or reviews, but I loved scary so let's do this!

What I watched in that theater BLEW. MY. MIND. A satire about scary movies that WAS a scary movie?! And it worked! It was scary as hell!
I went back home a few days later. I lived in a town that had one movie theater and it had one screen. It would play one movie at a time, for a week. If the movie was *really* good, they would leave it for 2-3 weeks.

Scream ran for 8 weeks. I saw it 5 times in total.
