Scream 3 Movie Collection

SCREAM: A year after her mother's death, Sidney Prescott and her friends, an offbeat group of scary movie fans, become the target of a masked killer in this smash-hit thriller from legendary director Wes Craven (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) that breathed new life into the horror genre.

SCREAM 2: After a movie is made about the Woodboro murders, while away at college, Sidney Prescott thought she'd finally put the terror behind her... until a copycat killer begins acting out a real-life sequel in which no one is safe or beyond suspicion.

SCREAM 3: The first film set the rules. In the sequel, the stakes got higher. All bets are off in the third installment of the hit franchise SCREAM. It's an insidious game of horror movie mayhem with surprising twists and turns. Sidney, now living under a new name to hide from the killer, learns about murders on a movie set that have direct ties to the murder of her mother.

Halloween

Fifteen years ago, Michael Myers brutally murdered his sister. Now, after escaping from a mental hospital, hes back to relive his grisly crime again, and again...and again. Halloween is as pure and undiluted as its title. In the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, a teenage baby sitter tries to survive a Halloween night of relentless terror, during which a knife-wielding maniac goes after the town's hormonally charged youths. Director John Carpenter takes this simple situation and orchestrates a superbly mounted symphony of horrors. It's a movie much scarier for its dark spaces and ominous camera movements than for its explicit bloodletting (which is actually minimal).
