Destined for Gory. As sequels to horror films increase, so does the body count. Wes Craven’s slasher Scream series adheres to that axiom.

Whether it’s knife to the back, knife to the gut, or knife to the head, the body count in Scream 2 exceeds the departed in Scream by 2. Appropriately, the number of characters killed off in Scream 3 exceeds the departed in Scream by 3. The total body count in the four Scream films shown in the graphic is 33. Find the body count in Scream, Scream 2, and Scream 3.
