At Gayly Dreadful, Jared Charles considers, “Greek Tragedy in Horror Exemplified in the Scream Franchise.” “While today’s horror can often contradict the intentions of the Greek tragedy – particularly the genre that people often refer to as torture-porn – there are many horror movies that pay homage to the significance of the Greek tragedy and how that affected the way stories are told in modernity. On a side note, many mainstream movies are praised for the way their stories are grounded in reality; often producing catharsis within themselves.”
