Wes Craven’s 1996 slasher film, “Scream” — but only one of the leading ladies forgot how to yell when filming their death scene.The Post spoke to Greg Nicotero, the special makeup effects supervisor who made Craven’s gory death scenes for the blockbuster come alive.

He shared that the late director begged McGowan, now 51, repeatedly to “scream” as her character Tatum was being crushed to death by the garage door.While the scene will go down in history as one of the most memorable “Scream” deaths from the ’90s, it wasn’t smooth sailing behind the scenes. “And what was funny about that is while we were shooting that, I remember, you know, Wes kept saying, ‘Scream!

Scream! Scream! You gotta really scream!’ And she didn’t — she wasn’t,” Nicotero told The Post in an interview on Oct. 15. “He was like, ‘I don’t understand why she’s not screaming because her head’s being crushed.'”Nicotero pointed out the irony.“It was just kind of a — it was an interesting note that we were working on this project that, that later would be called ‘Scream,’ and, Wes was just desperately trying to get her to scream,” he laughed.The Post has reached out to McGowan for comment.Nicotero — whose impressive resume also includes “The Walking Dead,” “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “The Hills Have Eyes,” “Breaking Bad,” “Machete Kills” and more — shared his tricks on how he brought Craven’s slasher scenes to the big screen.“So, you know, we did a dummy of Drew Barrymore, you know, we did a dummy of Rose McGowan.

You know, we did a lot of a lot of different things because Wes wanted to see that sort of moment of impact,” he shared of Barrymore and McGowan’s gory on-screen deaths.Barrymore died in the opening scene after the killer (a k a Ghostface) ripped her.
