This Devil's Advocate offers a full exploration of \u003ci\u003eScream\u003c\/i\u003e, including its structure, its many reference points (such as the prominent use of Halloween as a kind of sacred text), its marketing (\"the new thriller from Wes Craven\" - not a horror film), and legacy for horror cinema in the new millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteven West writes on cinema for a range of publications, and is a regular contributor to the Frightfest website and vintage horror magazine We Belong Dead.
