The Lowdown

Scream is the rare ’90s horror film that still plays like a party, so a Halloween weekend re-release is perfect. Arquette doing Q&As after screenings is a nice reminder of how much Dewey became the heart of the franchise.

Key Takeaways

  • Scream 30th Anniversary screenings open in select theaters October 30 (Fandango).
  • David Arquette’s Behind the Scream tour pairs screenings with behind-the-scenes stories and a Q&A (Bloody Disgusting).
  • The tour’s final stop is October 31 at the Warner Theatre in Torrington, Connecticut (Bloody Disgusting).

The Story

Wes Craven’s original Scream is back in theaters for its 30th anniversary, with Fandango listing the re-release as Scream 30th Anniversary (Fandango).

Arquette, who plays Dewey Riley, has spent October on a multi-city Behind the Scream tour. After each screening he shares stories about the film’s impact on his career and on horror, then takes fan questions (Bloody Disgusting).

The tour began October 8 in Roanoke, Virginia, and wraps on Halloween in Torrington. Arquette has reprised Dewey in every installment except Scream VI and made a cameo in Scream 7 (Bloody Disgusting).
