Скачать или смотреть The Terrifying True Story Behind Scream

Scream didn’t just reinvent the slasher genre — it was sparked by real terror. In this video, we uncover the chilling true story behind Scream (1996) and the brutal Gainesville murders that inspired writer Kevin Williamson. Long before Ghostface became a pop-culture icon, a real killer stalked students in Gainesville, Florida, posing victims and turning crime scenes into spectacle.

We break down the timeline of the 1990 killings, the nationwide panic, how Danny Rolling (the “Gainesville Ripper”) was caught, and why his obsession with fame eerily mirrors Scream’s themes. Then we connect the real case to Scream’s legendary opening scene — and explain why the film hits differently once you know what happened.
