Firstly, the writer of Scream cited Halloween as his favorite film, and said it influenced him while writing it. Secondly, it's a comedy/slasher film, so I'd be a bit worried if you found it insanely scary.
This! Halloween isn't 'scary' now either, it was just scary for the time. The Grudge was (for most people) terrifying at first but now its plain 6 years later. Horror is constantly changing, what we find scary changes. Why people said Scream 4 was a dissapointment because it didn't scare them is beyond me.

I hear you. I loved The Grudge when it came out and the years following. Scared the **** outta me. Now it's just meh.
Too many people don't get the point of Scream. It's making fun of horror movies, while being one at the same time.
I agree! I saw the latest one at the movies and it was an amazing experience! No other horror franchise can combine horror, humour, drama in one like the Scream movies! I just bought Scream 4 limited edition on blu-ray, just need to get the rest!

I got it for Chrismas.
I previously got the other three in the summer at Walmart for ten bucks each on Blu ray.
I knew. I'm a huge horror fan and I'm active on a few horror boards.
It mainly used the Gainesville murders as inspiration, so it's not exactly based on it.
Yeah, we'll that how it began. The writer didn't do it as exactly how the Gainesville Ripper did. But I'd still consider that based. Not in a based on a true story way, but as how the film began from the Ripper murders.
I find scary movies scary until they get parodied in something I was traumatized by The Ring until I saw Scary Movie 3. Now whenever I see The Ring/think about it all I think about is this scene.
Likewise, The Saw movies have been parodied so many times where the jigsaw character has almost become comical for me. The only movie I find genuinely scary movie a franchise anymore is Halloween 3, the one with the masks Weird considering its the only one without Michael Myers really

Quite frankly, horror hasn't been scary to me for quite some time now. I've been bored with it since I was 13 and those remakes of Japanese horror didn't help. It wasn't until High Tension made its way to the US that I became hopeful again. It depends on what kind of horror you're into, I guess.
It was just very predictable. I was literally able to tell what was going to happen next like it was a play by play, lol. It was also the first time I knew who the killers were way before it was revealed.
If y'all didn't know that.
