The original 'Scream' is one of those classic things, but it totally pokes fun at itself too. It's never taking itself too seriously, which is why I think it's such a cult classic.

A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now.

A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming.

The sound of laughter is like the vaulted dome of a temple of happiness.

Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film, it was intelligent, it was funny, it took a laugh at itself.

No one who has experienced facing a screaming, boiling, hysterical audience can avoid feeling shivers in the spine. It's a thin line between celebration and menace.

Screaming is hard after a while.

There is nothing more joyful to me than hearing a live audience laugh. Especially when I planned it that way!

The last time I heard real screaming in the theatre was when I went to see a movie I did years ago, called 'Wait Until Dark.' Now, my mother was the least emotional person on the planet, but when I got killed in the movie, she stood up and screamed, 'That's my son!' At Radio City Music Hall in New York!

Once you have heard a strange audience burst into laughter at a film you directed, you realize what the word joy is all about.
