While Scream is one of the best horror movie franchises in history, it works just as well as a mystery. What separates Scream from other slasher movie series like Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Friday the 13th , and Texas Chainsaw Massacre is that we're also trying to figure out who the killer is.

That's a big part of the fun of watching a Scream movie. Although the killer reveal is a big deal, there are plenty of great surprises in each installment of the franchise. Sometimes it's an unexpected character death, sometimes it's indeed the Ghostface reveal , and in some cases, it's the way Scream turns famous tropes on their heads.
