Every time I hear a song from one of the soundtracks, it brings me back to Woodsboro (or Windsor College or Hollywood).

I still keep a copy of the soundtrack in the car and even created a Spotify playlist with music from the Scream films. I remember getting the CD that Christmas and playing it on repeat for months.
