Based partly on the real-life case of the Gainesville Ripper, Scream was inspired by Williamson's passion for Horror films. This inspired Him to write scream after watching the arrest of the Gainesville ripper.

By technicality, it is, but there wasn't a guy in a Ghostface mask chasing people around and calling them to ask life or death questions. There is no Sidney Prescott or Billy Loomis. It was based on a serial killer in the 1980s or 1990s.

called the Gainesville Ripper (Danny Rolling), he has passed away, but the short answer is, yes, Scream was based on a true story.
