A classic spoof (and scary too!!)

Rating: Null/10 (15 January 2003)

I grew up on all the '80's gross-out splatter flicks of yore, and the real pleasure of "Scream" is that both Wes Craven and writer, Kevin Williamson paid homage to all of my favorites....particularly one.
Despite the fact that Drew Barrymore's death scene was a riff on "Psycho", or that nearly very character was a Quentin Tarantino, rules-of-the-horror-genre encyclopedia, did anyone notice that this plot is a direct copy of J. Lee Thompson's HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME?
Any thoughts?
