What’s your favorite scary movie? If it’s Scream, you’re probably excited to see Scream VI when it comes out tomorrow. Here’s how to watch Scream VI—and where to stream, rent, or buy the other films in the franchise.
What are the Scream movies?
In 1996, Wes Craven’s Scream kicked off the wildly popular horror franchise where Ghostface tortures pretty people with prank calls and kills them with sharp things. A fifth film, Scream (2022), both a reboot and sequel, proved the killer is still stabby after all these years.
List of Scream movies
- Scream (1996)
- Scream 2 (1997)

- Scream 4 (2011)

How to watch Scream VI
Scream VI hits theaters on March 10, 2023. Typically, the film will become available on Paramount+ and at video-on-demand (VOD) retailers 45 days later. However, absent an explicit announcement from Paramount, that’s only a guess.
How to watch the Scream movies in order
Paramount+ is the only subscription streaming TV service with all five Scream movies, but free, ad-supported TV (FAST) services like Pluto TV and Tubi have some of the films.
How to stream the Scream movies for free
If you want to watch Scream 1–5 for free, you can probably do it with the Paramount+ 7-day free trial. Remember to cancel before the trial period ends to avoid charges.

Renting every Scream movie on demand will cost $20. Purchasing digital copies of the five Scream movies available via video-on-demand (VOD), you’ll pay $45–$52. But don’t buy Scream 2 for $16.99 from Amazon Prime Video when the movie costs only $9.99 everywhere else.
Another thing: Scream 4 is only $4.99 (for a limited time) from the VOD retailers listed in our table. Note that resolution may vary across these services, but the above pricing is mostly for HD, 4K UHD, or HDX (VUDU’s version of 4K).
