Slasher Movie Rules, Scream 7, X-Files, and Billionaire Tech Mogul Villains

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, with Scream 7 hitting theaters (stick around for our review), we felt it was time to revisit the modern slasher movie rules and determine which ones are still absolutely necessary to have a fantastic time at the movies, and which ones are long overdue to be retired. Bad decisions, the car won't start, dropping the weapon, red herrings, and more are on the slab. It's time to decide for each one: do we keep it, or kill it? Then, we work together to create our own masterful slasher franchise! Also on this episode, Ryan Coogler's The X-Files is a go, billionaire tech mogul villains are popping up everywhere, and recommendations. Listen to our Inspired by a True Story episode on SCREAM!
