What started with a terrifying phone call has now turned into an entire franchise of fear as the Scream movie series welcomes its latest incarnation into theaters.
Scream (also referred to as Scream 5) hits theaters earlier this year, with stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette all reprising their roles from the first four Scream movies.
The 2022 Scream follows the residents of Woodsboro as they face off against a new stranger sporting the iconic Ghostface mask. Is he a copycat killer or is he connected to secrets from the town’s deadly past?
Joining the original stars are new cast additions Jenna Ortega, Dylan Minnette, Melissa Barrera, Mason Gooding and Jack Quaid.
When Does the New Scream 5 Premiere?
Scream 5 hit theaters on Friday, January 14 (see showtimes and get tickets here). The 2022 Scream movie is premiering exclusively in theaters and wasn’t available for streaming until after its theatrical run.
All of the other films in the Scream franchise are available to stream right now. Here’s where to find all of the Scream films online and how to stream them for free.
How to Watch Scream Online
The Scream franchise debuted in 1996, with a screenplay by Kevin Williamson (then best-known for creating Dawson’s Creek) and director Wes Craven, a lifelong horror fan who created the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. The film was a huge commercial and critical success, bringing in almost $200 million at the box office worldwide, while helping to revive the “slasher film” genre (just see all the other horror films that were made after the success of Scream). The opening scene with Drew Barrymore remains one of the most memorable — and most-spoofed — scenes today.
If you want to watch the original Scream online, you can find it on Peacock. A Peacock subscription starts at just $4.99 a month and will let you watch the 1996 Scream online on your laptop, TV, tablet or phone. You can stream Scream as many times as you want with your Peacock login.
You can also rent the original Scream online for $2.99 on Amazon. You can also download the Scream movie online by purchasing it for $7.99 on Amazon.
How to Watch Scream 2 Online
After the success of Scream, the filmmakers immediately went into production on a sequel. Scream 2 was released in 1997 and follows Campbell’s Sidney Prescott as she tries to uncover the person — or people — behind a series of copycat crimes.
Just like the original Scream, you can watch Scream 2 online at PeacockTV.com. While Peacock does offer a free streaming tier, you’ll need to sign-up for a Peacock subscription in order to stream Scream 2 online.
