My question is, how rare is it to have a franchise where in each film it has the same cast playing the same characters? Very rare; almost impossible for the horror genre, and let's face it, this is not the first time Scream has done the impossible. After getting much grief on IMDb Oscar Buzz about my tight qualifications for the title, only three franchises have claimed the prize ahead of Scream, Harry Potter, Rocky, and Pirates of the Caribbean, which has 4 coming out in May.
One person even posted a list from Wikipedia of movie series with so many installments, and I tried to explain that the same actors haven't been in every film. And I stress the term actors. Not a single person: antagonists shouldn't count. I used Jamie Lee Curtis as an example. She's only been in 4 (maybe 5) of the 10 Halloween films. She would have to be 10/10 for Halloween to make the list. Scream 1, 2, 3, and 4 have all had Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Roger Jackson (Jame Kennedy is also rumored to return for 4).
I love being so closely linked to one of the longest true film series in the past; the longest true horror franchise.
