45 Quotes from 'Scream' from the Victims to the Sinister Characters

The "Scream" franchise began its legacy in 1996 and has continued until this year, following the well-known Sidney's unending battle with Ghostface. Here are 45 quotes from the first of the films with snippets from the rest.

"Scream" was a sensation from the moment it debuted on screens in the mid-90s, as it took a slightly different direction from the horror films of that time. The creators played with the stereotypical plot by adding satire to the dialogue and commenting on it, as you'll see in the quotes below.

Moreover, with the brilliant portrayal of the story and the individual characters, the cast simultaneously brought humor and the real presence of danger without one overshadowing the other.

Still, it would be long before Sidney could do away with the threat Ghostface insisted on posing throughout her life. So, to honor and pay a small tribute to the "Scream" legacy, here are 45 quotes from the films.
