# Morbid Movie Announcements The Scream Obituaries Remind You of the Franchise's Fallen By Carly Foy | Published 2011-04-20 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scream-obituaries References: [nextmovie](http://www.nextmovie.com/blog/scream-movie-victims-obituaries/) With the newest release of Scream 4, the website Next Movie has created Scream obituaries to help you recall just who fell victim to Ghostface. The Scream obituaries take a satirical approach when discussing the victims, which include facts about the characters in addition to their real life. An example of this is Jada Pinkett-Smith's character, Maureen Evans, whose obituary discusses her movie death as well as her fondness of rapper/actor The Fresh Prince--played by her real-life husband, Will Smith. Each obituary is marked with the date of the movie releases, spanning from the original 1996 version to the third, which was released in 2000. The Scream obituaries are a great way to help you remember the previous movies before going to see the newest flick. Of course, the humor helps as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Satirical Movie Announcements:** Movie websites are creating satirical obituaries for characters in movie franchises to build hype and engage with audiences. - **Nostalgic Movie Ties:** Movie franchises are using nostalgic references to past movies and actors to generate hype for upcoming films. - **Interactive Movie Promotion:** Movie websites are creating interactive promotional content to engage with audiences in a unique and memorable way. ### Where This Applies - **Movie Production:** Movie production companies can create interactive and engaging promotional content to attract audiences and generate hype for their upcoming films. - **Entertainment Media:** Entertainment media outlets can create engaging content, such as satirical obituaries, to attract readers and build brand recognition. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies can develop interactive and humorous promotional concepts to help generate awareness and engagement with audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Horror Film-Inspired Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scream-vi.md) - [Horror Franchise Vodka Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-face-vodka.md) - [Spooky Scream King Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macabre-spirits.md) - [Horror Film Tequila Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espoln-tequila.md) - [80s-Based Horror Trilogies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maxxxine.md) - [Horror Movie-Inspired Popcorn Buckets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-coffin.md) - [Spooky Slasher Movie Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-studios-halloween-horror-nights.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horrific-crocs.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-for-dinner-cookbook.md)
