How to Survive - A podcast by Joe Shervell and Chris Morris

Categories:

This week we're covering a horror movie lover's horror movie - it's Scream 2! Scream 2 (1997) picks up a few months after the events of Scream. Sydney is now at university, but finds herself plagued anew by a marauder in a ghost face mask. As is custom, her friends are picked off one-by-one, leading to a final showdown with the killer - but who could it be? We talk about the difficulties of relying on a film's mythology in a murder mystery; the pros and cons of gun ownership when you're being hunted by a masked murderer; and of course, how to use horror movie knowledge to your benefit. All of which leads to one big question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... This is a perfect example of life imitating art imitating life. Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
