Scream lovers will notice the reprisal of songs like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "Red Right Hand" and a slow, sexy cover of Blue Öyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper," the latter playing over the teen heroine kissing her boyfriend (like mother like daughter). There's also a cheeky nod to Scream 2, thanks to a framed photo of Tori Spelling, who canonically played Sidney in the first Stab movie. And content creators who love horror will relish doing shot-by-shot comparisons, as Williamson wisely apes director Wes Craven's iconic cinematography from the first Scream. Then, this sequel makes terrific departures from the franchise's weakest points.
By WWII, scientists had already begun looking at alternative gelling substances for routine use in bacteriology, but concluded that agar was still better as it is both firmer and easier to handle. Today, some specialized microbiology applications use the colloid carrageenan (extracted from red seaweed Chondrus crispus, or “Irish Moss”), a more transparent and less auto-fluorescent alternative to agar (agar emits its own background fluorescence when excited by light). However, for routine bacteriological use, carrageenan is more difficult to dissolve, requires higher concentrations, can degrade at high temperatures, and forms weaker gels, which may result in puncturing its surface during the plating of cells.
