Scream (R - 1996) Film Quiz for Grades 9 - 12

Overview

Analyze self‑aware horror rules, media pressure, and how grief, fame, and suspicion warp choices—without relying on tiny quotes. Students explain how the opening phone game sets a pattern of control, how Sidney’s doubts push the plot, and how the party sequence compresses rule‑making, surveillance, and betrayal into one final test.
