Do you like scary movies? Good cause you’re in the right place! Today, we’re throwing it back to 1996 when Wes Craven’s teen horror-comedy Scream was one of the highest-grossing R-rated movies that year — and easily the biggest money maker for the horror genre at the time. So, of course, it had a sequel. And by a sequel, we mean four of them with another one on the way! Let’s focus on the first two sequels from this killer franchise.

Coming at the dawn of the new millennium, Scream 2 and Scream 3 starred Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox and looked to break the rules of a sequel and a trilogy, could do. But is Randy Meeks right? Do all sequels suck? Not exactly. But they definitely do in certain categories. So let’s settle this. Which of these inevitable sequels is the best? Is it Sidney Prescott Goes to College or Sidney Does Hollywood?

Whip out your voice changer, sharpen your knives, and don your Ghostface mask because it’s time for… FACE OFF!

This episode of Face Off is written by Mathew Plale, narrated by Shawn Knippelberg, and edited by Ric Solomon. But don’t let us have the final word — tell us in the comments which Scream sequel is your favorite — Scream 2 or Scream 3?
