A Beloved Scream Character Almost Died In The First Movie You know that old saying about how history is written by the victors? The same holds true for the “Scream” franchise, though each new installment and each new villain behind the Ghostface mask has only left an even more traumatized band of survivors to tell their stories and set the record straight.
