PT Episode I: does it mean, to exist in the house of Scream, waiting to see nature

I have a hunch, which is that TPM is a product which means to live inside the house of Wes Craven's Scream, wherein one waits to see nature

 

I welcome the position.
For many years now, I've had recurring instances of belief in TPM, that it is intertwined with the yellow of California, and the Sand-castle (a meta); Scream is a prototype relationship arc, with TPM, what with it set in California as well.

 

Is Thomas Heath an A.I. bot?

I'm sure there are plenty of people that would describe Scream as being meta. It is after-all a pastiche of the horror genre whilst being an effective horror film itself. If you were to view The Phantom Menace as a parody of a Star Wars film (I don't) then a parallel could be drawn.

Artistically speaking it's a very risky approach to take. Scream's angle comes off as being educational/informative. You learn about the ingredients of the film whilst simultaneously troughing at the buffet of slasher delights. That was an astute move by Wes Craven. It doesn't patronise the audience nor does it poo poo the heritage of the genre.... Standing on the shoulder of giants, and all that.

Take it too far though and you end up with Goldmember. A parody of a parody. Mocking self regard has little appeal. It never feels celebratory, it usually just signifies a dearth of ideas.

Exception to this rule; Gremlins 2. It's knowingly brilliant.

 

My god if I could fight to exist in the screams of the un-enchanted!
