Do you like scary movies?
Context
This line is spoken by Ghostface, voiced by Roger L. Jackson, in the movie Scream, directed by Wes Craven (1996).
Ah, it's always nice to spend a night indoors popping popcorn and watching a scary movie. This is Casey's (Drew Barrymore) plan at the beginning of the classic slasher flick Scream. With the Jiffy Pop banging away on the stovetop, Casey answers the phone, and the man on the other end asks her about her favorite scary movies. "Do you like scary movies?" he asks.
She does, but she doesn't expect her life to turn into one.
Where you've heard it
You hear this before browsing horror movies on Netflix with a date. But if you pick up the phone and hear this from a stranger, get out of the house.
