Farewell Tributes

Special tributes were given in some year for the conclusion of long-running shows, i.e. 2010 and 2011.

Reception

There was a consensus that these awards recognised works of genres that were normally unrecognised. Casey Patterson said of the Scream Awards that it "aims to do for superhero, horror and fantasy films what the MTV Movie Awards did for teen comedies by honoring genres usually overlooked by high-brow Academy Award voters ... This event has been long overdue". [36] Zack Snyder said, at the 2008 Scream Awards, “There’s a feeling that film and comic books and all these genres that didn’t used to get respect are having this truly dynamic moment right now.” [37]

Of those traditionally unrecognised genres, commentators saw the Scream Awards' recognition of the comic book genre as especially significant. In 2008, Casey Patterson said "the event began three years ago with an emphasis on horror, a genre that was surging at that time thanks to movies such as the Saw films and Hostel. But in subsequent years, the show widened to embrace comic books and fantasy." [37] Geoff Boucher (Los Angeles Times), said "The Scream Awards presented a pop-culture environment where film-makers like Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan shared the same stage as comic-book writers such as Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy . [37] The LA times reported Mike Mignola as saying, when talking of Scream 2008, that "in the old days Hollywood would strip-mine comics and scoff at the creators. Now, they walk on the same red carpet, which on Saturday night had giant posters of the Green Lantern and Spider-Man above it. [37]

Target audience & Sponsorship

Young males

The male-centric nature of this awards ceremony's target audience was recognised. Ray Richmond, from the Hollywood Reporter, said "In hitching its wagon to Ultimate Fighting Championship, Star Wars marathons, and no fewer than three awards programs — Guys' Choice Awards (established 2007), Scream Awards (established 2006) and Video Game Awards (established 2003), the network has fulfilled its mission to provide action-themed comfort food for its male viewership. [38] Juliet Corsinita, the media editor of Taco Bell (one of the Scream Awards sponsors for its entire 6-year run [1] [13] [39] [40] [8] [6] ), said that with respect to the Scream Awards, Taco Bell, whose core customers were "young men who eat fast food", has "a presenting sponsorship which over-delivered on its audience by 76%". [41]

Halloween

Captain Morgan's initial Scream Awards sponsorship was part of it push for its product "to be to Halloween what Guinness is to St. Patrick's Day." Arthur Shapiro, Alcohol industry consultant, said "No one has locked up Halloween yet. The Captain has the horsepower to do it." [42]

Sponsors

With the exception of Taco Bell, the sponsors for each year's awards ceremony varied: -

Ratings

In 2009, the Scream Awards drew a total of 9.9 million viewers over its four telecasts. [43] In the 18-34 male demo, the awards drew a 0.7 rating for the first telecast. [43]

In 2010, the initial Tuesday broadcast of the Scream Awards drew only 800,000 viewers for the 9 p.m. premier and 471,000 for the 11 p.m. telecast. [43]

In 2011, the Scream Awards notably underpreformed drawing only 698,000 viewers over the week. This placed it 15th in a Horror Society rating ranking of horror content for that week, just below Scare Tactics on 793,000 viewers, compared to the two highest rating shows broadcast in that week of Terra Nova on 7,970,000 and The Walking Dead on 7,300,000 viewers. [44]

Discontinuance

The Scream Awards ceremonies were discontinued in 2011, a move attributed to the dwindling popularity of the event and Spike TV's re-formatting (including even a change of their name to Paramount). [3] There were a total of 8 Scream Awards.
