On October 19th, Scream fans will finally get their hands on the long-awaited 4K Ultra HD release of the 1996 classic. Restored for the film’s 25th anniversary, the new edition from Paramount Home Entertainment looks every bit as pristine — and deadly — as you’d expect.

Collectors will immediately recognize most of the legacy bonus features, but there’s one major addition worth spotlighting.

• A Bloody Legacy: Scream 25 Years Later: A brand-new featurette with interviews from the alumni cast, Radio Silence, and the new generation of Woodsboro survivors. This is the fresh piece every fan will want to dissect frame by frame.
• Returning legacy content:
  • Audio commentary by Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson
  • Production featurette
  • Behind the Scenes
    • On the Scream Set
    • Drew Barrymore
  • Q&A with Cast and Crew
    • What’s Your Favorite Scary Movie?
    • Why Are People So Fascinated by Horror Films?

A solid batch of archival material — essential viewing for anyone who considers the 1996 film sacred text.

A theatrical return: two nights only

The official press release also confirms something special:

To celebrate the anniversary, Fathom Events and Paramount Pictures will bring Scream back to select U.S. theaters on October 10 and 11 for a two-day event. Additional details will be revealed separately.

The timing is no coincidence — and the content of “A Bloody Legacy” strongly suggests that this event may include the first official video material from the new Scream.

It feels less like a celebration… and more like the beginning.

October is going to be fun

If the 25th anniversary is the warm-up, the main act is coming soon. And in Woodsboro, momentum like this rarely arrives quietly.

Exciting!
