“(‘Scream’) is like the ‘Star Wars’ of horror. It’s got characters that people really love, and they hold up. The format of the show allows for new characters to come in but at the same time, these old characters are there to anchor it. It’s not like a Friday-the-whatever with all new people. It’s the same core. And the characters change and mutate.” – Wes Craven. Thanks to Mr. Angry Dog for the “Freddy vs. Vader” image. Couldn’t locate credits for Luke Skywalker / Freddy Krueger crossover.
