Community Collab: Let’s Rank the ‘Scream’ Movies

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s a question that has caused cinema fans to lose countless hours debating: What is the best and worst of any given film franchise?

ScreenAge Wasteland aims to find common ground by asking its community to participate in a collaborative ranking of the Scream film series. The seven eligible movies are Scream (1996), Scream 2 (1997), Scream 3 (2000), Scream 4 (2011), Scream (2022), Scream VI (2023), and Scream 7 (2026).

How to Participate

Submit your ranking of the seven Scream films to info.screenagewasteland@gmail.com by Friday, October 16.

All you have to do is order the movies you’ve seen from best to worst. Also, include a sentence or two (no longer than a paragraph please) for each movie (your favorite part, why it is great/terrible, etc).

Here’s an example of what a response might look like for Pixar’s A Bug’s Life:

• Surely most people put this at the bottom of their list? For all I know A Bug’s Life is much better than I remember, but I think it was forever cursed as being “not as good as Toy Story.” I sure as hell know it is better than Antz though.

NOTE: You can participate as long as you have seen at least five of the films. DO NOT rank films you have not viewed. The scores will be adjusted depending on how many films are on your ranking.

Once the deadline has passed, we’ll tally up the various rankings, cherrypick the best responses for each film, and put together a massive collab ranking to release next month!
