While many of us are probably familiar with the cult classic movie franchise Scream… did you know that screenwriter Kevin Williamson was inspired to write Scream based on a real serial killer nicknamed The Gainesville Ripper (PS: I'm so sorry this episode was supposed to be up for Halloween, but I (Laura) got the flu so so bad and couldn't edit it in time) Disclaimer: This episode contains mentions of assault and sexual assault against minors and adults, as well as descriptions of gore, suicidal thoughts, and mental health struggles. If you are struggling with mental health, you can call 988 to access the Suicide and Crisis Line, or 800-715-4225 to reach the Georgia Crisis and Access Line, or you can reach the national domestic violence hotline at 800.799.SAFE (7233) Resources: https://screenrant.com/scream-movie-true-story-killer-ghostface/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Rolling https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna15446336 https://www.slashfilm.com/736734/the-real-life-serial-killings-that-inspired-scream/ https://www.looper.com/637343/we-finally-know-the-origin-of-the-ghostface-mask-in-scream/ https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/a/michelle-dean/scream-20th-anniversary-true-story-serial-killer https://www.biography.com/crime/danny-rolling-scream-killer-gainesville https://www.grunge.com/475487/the-untold-truth-of-danny-rolling-the-gainesville-ripper/ https://scream.fandom.com/wiki/Ghostface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostface_(Scream)#:~:text=The%20mask%20was%20a%20popular,and%20Craven%20for%20the%20film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s09lUFbgc-w&t=956s https://www.reddit.com/r/Scream/comments/wevuox/what_does_inspired_by_gainesville_mean_exactly/ https://allthatsinteresting.com/danny-rolling-gainesville-ripper https://apnews.com/6285561c87d84e01a5cff7d764f15668
