Apollo Creed is a fictional character from the "Rocky" films, initially portrayed as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
 He was played by Carl Weathers.
 He is a tough but agile African-American boxer.
 The character was inspired by the real-life champion Muhammad Ali, having what one author remarked as the same "brash, vocal, [and] theatrical" personality.
 Protagonist Rocky Balboa, Creed's rival in "Rocky" and "Rocky II", faces underdog odds (five-to-one in "Rocky II") and views Creed with respect, pointedly refusing the prodding of a reporter to "trash talk" against Creed by laconically remarking, "He's great."
Courteney Bass Cox (born June 15, 1964) is an American actress, producer, and director.
 She is best known for her roles as Monica Geller on the NBC sitcom "Friends", Gale Weathers in the horror series "Scream", and Jules Cobb in the ABC/TBS sitcom "Cougar Town", for which she earned her first Golden Globe nomination.
 Cox also starred in the FX series "Dirt".
 She owns a production company, called Coquette Productions, which was created by Cox and her then-husband David Arquette.
 Cox also worked as a director on her sitcom "Cougar Town" and the television film "Talhotblond".
Aunt Em is a fictional character from the Oz books.
 She is the aunt of Dorothy Gale and wife of Uncle Henry, and lives together with them on a farm in Kansas.
 In "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", she is described as having been a "young, pretty wife" when she arrived at Uncle Henry's farm, but having been "grayed" by her life there, implying that she appears older than one might expect from her chronological age.
 Baum tells us that when Dorothy first came to live with her, Em would "scream and press her hand upon her heart" when startled by Dorothy's laughter, and she appears emotionally distant to her at the beginning of the story.
 However, after Dorothy is restored to her at the end of the book, we see her true nature: she cries out, "My darling child!"
 and covers her with kisses.

 The mask is based on "The Scream" painting by Edvard Munch and was created and designed by Fun World costume company employee Brigitte Sleiertin as a Halloween costume, prior to being discovered by Marianne Maddalena and Craven for the film.

 The character is portrayed by actress Emma Roberts and has appeared in the series since its pilot episode.

 Released on December 20, 1996, "Scream" follows the character of Sidney Prescott (Campbell), a high school student in the fictional town of Woodsboro, California, who becomes the target of a mysterious killer known as Ghostface.
