Miramax sued Columbia Pictures in 1997, alleging an implied connection between Columbia&#8217;s &#8220;I Know What You Did Last Summer&#8221; and &#8220;Scream.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Horror spoof will &#8220;Shriek&#8221; on cable By Dana Harris HOLLYWOOD (Variety) &#8211; As evidence that the teen horror movie trend<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,2021],"tags":[12,604],"coauthors":[2273],"class_list":["post-1115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-leading","category-majandra-delfino","tag-majandra-delfino","tag-shriek-if-you-know-what-i-did-last-friday-the-13th"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1115"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28336,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1115\/revisions\/28336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1115"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
