Scream helped breathe new life into the classic slasher movie. Scream is not just a slasher movie, but a parody/spoof of slasher movies. It makes fun of all the old cliches that bad horror movies -- especially bad slasher movies -- employ.In other words, the movie was intended to be a celebration of, or an homage to, classic slasher movies like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street (A Nightmare on Elm Street, in fact, was written and directed by the same guy who wrote and directed Scream: Wes Craven).As well as a celebration of/homage to the classic slasher movie, Scream also gently and lovingly made fun of slasher movies.Thus, Scream not only caused horror fans to take a renewed interest in slasher movies, but also prompted the makers of such movies to stop being lazy and employing all the tired old cliches, and move onto fresh new ground.Scream was released in 1996, during a sort of low point in horror. Nothing new was really happening with horror movies at the time. The next exciting new trend -- movies filmed with hand-held, home movie cameras, to get that realistic look -- was not to come for a few more years. The Blair Witch Project(which was the first film to be made in that realistic style, as well as the first horror film that claimed to be totally real footage) did not come out until 1999.So, at the time, Scream was a refreshing change from a rather boring period in horror. It revived the slasher genre, which had been suffering greatly from lack of imagination and reliance on predictable cliches. It got people interested in slasher movies again, and it brought much-needed criticism to the horror genre, which forced horror movie makers to come up with fresh, new ideas.
Scream is usually classed as a slasher movie. I have seen the movie many times and yes i think there are definitely humourous moments throughout the film. I personally think the movie is more of a thriller than a horror, but that's just my personal opinion.
I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream!!
Great satire should come from the love of a genre, not simply opportunism to make fun of something popular. What made "Scream" so wonderful is that it not only laughed at the tropes of the slasher flick but was also really good at executing them; Wes Craven, at his best, is able to both craft a really solid horror film and make fun of it in precisely the same moment.

Presumably. It is marketed as a slasher horror movie.

"Scream" is a character from the horror movie franchise "Scream," and the identity of the person behind the mask changes throughout the series. The character's gender changes based on who is wearing the costume in each film.
Ghostface did not appear in the Scary Movie sequels because the films were not parodies of Scream, even though there were also Scream sequels. I think David Zucker (Director of #3 and #4) and Keenen Wayans (Director of #2) were aware of the Scream sequels but they already spoofed the first, and they was really no point in paroding the 2nd and 3rd Scream films because they all had similar plot points which could rehash the first Scary Movie just for money.

There is no vampire slayer character in the movies Screamand Scream 2. There aren't even vampires. I think you're somehow confused. The actor Sarah Michelle Gellar, (who plays Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer), is in Scream 2 and portrays the character of Casey "Cici" Cooper (who is not a vampire slayer but just a college student.)
