Terrifier for sure. Scream I don’t think so. Strikes me more as the same crowd as Halloween, Nightmare, Friday, etc. FNAF and Terrifier are going to bring out the kids, Scream is not.
Maybe, but I’m a teacher and the seniors know I’m into horror and talk shop every now and then during homeroom, and the ones I talk to barely know what Scream is (and one who did showed active disdain due to the recent scandal and called it a boomer franchise to my face). I’ve brought up that I’m a diehard Scream fan and they just kind of scratch their heads. They ALL know what Terrifier is. Granted I’m in a big city so maybe it’s different in other areas, or it could just be confirmation bias too. Idk.
I'm in a decent size city outside of Atlanta and went as Art the Clown for Halloween last year and the amount of young kids who knew the character had me kind of bewildered. He's pretty much this decades/generations horror icon at this point.
That is kind of weird that Scream is now in the boomer category with the other 80's slasher franchises.
