Scream—actually, they’ll tell you it’s Scream and then proceed to rank all six films in the franchise for you!By now, it’s no surprise to say that the gays are obsessed with the Scream movies. We love the blend of horror and comedy, we love the meta-commentary skewering the genre’s tropes, we love the cast of actresses we have no choice but to stan, and we especially love that it was created by a gay screenwriter, Kevin Williamson.But, up until this point, all six films in the series have been directed by straight men: The legendary Wes Craven helmed the original up through the belated Scream 4 in 2011, and filmmaking duo Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) have made the two most recent “legacy sequels.”Earlier this month, however, The Hollywood Reporter announced a new director would take over for the (tentatively titled) Scream 7: Christopher Landon—and it turns out, he’s a hot gay daddy!A post shared by Chris Landon (@thechrislandon)The son of Bonanza and Little House On The Prairie star Michael Landon, Christopher Landon, 48, grew up around Hollywood and soon followed his father’s footsteps, studying filmmaking in college before dropping out to pursue screenwriting full time.He wrote his first feature in 1998, the crime drama Another Day In Paradise, and then came out as gay the following year, which he says hurt his career.
