"Scream 4," the latest entry in the popular tongue-in-cheek horror franchise, opens with midnight screenings tonight.

Production of the movie was based in Ann Arbor, and it was shot here and in several nearby communities. The movie reunites Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette (as well as director Wes Craven), all veterans of the earlier installments of the series. It also adds younger cast members like Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts.
