What’s your favorite scary movie? OK, but what’s your favorite scary movie book? You might have a new answer this summer, as Penguin Random House will release the aptly titled book Your Favorite Scary Movie, documenting the legacy of the Scream franchise. Even better, the audiobook will be narrated by none other than Roger L. Jackson – the voice of Ghostface.
In a statement, Jackson said of the Scream endeavor, “It is my hope that everyone who listens to this audiobook enjoys it as much as I enjoyed reading it. So well written, with depth and nuance. Many things I never knew and stories I had never heard. This is essential reading for anyone interested in Scream. It was an honor to read this for fans of the films and people, like me, who delight in audiobooks.” In addition to voicing Ghostface in the Scream movies (and some video games), Jackson is also known for voicing Mojo Jojo and more on The Powderpuff Girls.
Jackson, along with some of your favorite Scream players – including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Kevin Williamson, Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, and more – contributed to interviews with author/journalist Ashley Cullins, who is marking her book debut. The 352-page book – officially titled Your Favorite Scary Movie: How the Scream Films Rewrote the Rules of Horror – will slash its way to shelves on August 19th. The audiobook is due on the same date and will run 9 hours and 43 minutes.
Choosing Roger L. Jackson is the absolute perfect choice to do the audio version of the Scream book, as he and Courteney Cox are the only actors to have credits on all six movies. To date, the franchise has earned over $910 million worldwide, with the 1996 original – which reinvented and brought new life to a flailing genre – still at the top and one of the highest-grossing horror films ever. Scream 7 is currently slated for February 27th, 2026, helping mark the 30th anniversary of the series.
