Kanopy Streams Chilling "Scream" Double Feature for Halloween

As of October 10th, 2025, streaming platform Kanopy is offering a chilling double feature for horror fans. The platform is hosting screenings of the 1996 slasher classic "Scream" alongside Mike Nichols' 1971 drama "Carnal Knowledge."

"Scream" is widely regarded as one of the best and most enduring horror films ever made. Directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, the movie follows a group of high school students who find themselves trapped in a real-life slasher scenario, even as they endlessly discuss and reference other iconic horror films. This meta-textual approach, blending self-awareness with genuine scares, is a large part of what has made "Scream" such an influential and beloved entry in the genre.

Meanwhile, "Carnal Knowledge" may not be a horror film, but it has also earned a reputation as a cinematic landmark. Directed by Mike Nichols, the 1971 drama explores the evolving sexual and romantic relationships of two men over several decades. Together, these two very different but acclaimed films make for a compelling double feature on Kanopy this spooky season.
