Of course, it should come as no surprise to learn that Wes Craven was fine with delivering some gruesome violence in his Scream sequel.
There’s a long debate to be had over which one of Wes Craven’s death scenes was the most gruesome, but it’s hard to deny that Jada Pinkett Smith got one of the best.
This trend dated as far back as films like Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes, and it became a calling card by the time films like Scream and Scream 2 rolled around.
Though early slasher movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween didn’t feature much blood in the creation of their death scenes, Craven developed a notable affinity for letting the blood and gore run wild in his own horror romps.
