@@TomTomson81 It depends on who watches it. Most of the younger generation has no clue who Jamie Kennedy and/or Jamie Lee Curtis is. I've watched many reactions to Scream and can only recall two, maybe three?, pointing out the play on names.
Did you notice that the reporter who asked Sydney what it was like to nearly get brutally murdered was the little girl from the Exorcist,and the janitor was Wes Craven.
@@SaRENRampaiger I didn't mind. It's funny and it's a clever setup that writer came up with because most audience members are going to get tricked too. Serious aficionados won't and that's a great feeling.
He’s been fakeout killed so many times if they ever were to actually kill him it would be a huge bummer. Though if they were to kill an o.g. Character in Scream 5 I’ll bet it’s Gail Weathers that’ll die
@@thedeepfriar745 they have definitely been trying to make it seem like Dewey will be the one to die. Which concerns me. I definitely don’t want Gale to die. And Sidney well, Sidney is my God at this point. Lol
When Scream first came out, all the marketing made it seem like Drew Barrymore (who was the only person in the movie who was really a well known name at the time) was the star. It was pretty shocking when she died in the first scene...
It was her idea, too! Wes wanted her for Sidney, but she had previous engagements so she came up with the idea to pull the audience in with her name and kill her off in the first 15 mins. Love it.
Drew Barrymore's role in this is also a direct nod to Janet Leigh in Psycho. Where you have the biggest actress in the movie promoted as the star and then killed off less than halfway through.
Drew Barrymore was originally supposed to be Sydney but she had a conflict with filming something else and she thought it would be funny if she died in the beginning of the movie Wes Craven agreed and boom one of the most iconic scenes was made.
This is quite simply one of the most brilliant slasher movies of all time. Neve is a perfect leading lady, the cast are incredible, Wes is a genius, and Kevin's script is superb.
For me this is the best slasher horror franchise it talks about what fans would feel while watching a horror movie just like randy talking about the rules, Sydney saying that the girl would always make dmb decisions would go upstairs instead of the front door, fans getting tired of bad sequels, remake and so many references and real life meta, Kevin williamson is fckng brilliant. and to Wes craven
In America people always give way too much credit to the director over the writer, even thought the writing is way more important. I just found out in other countries it is the opposite like it should be!
@@jarredah dude even Wes Craven himself has said that these movies wouldn't had been successful if kevin williamson didn't do such a great job with the story.
11:56 "What's your favorite scary movie?" Why are your curtains open? You realize, Sidney, it's _night,_ right? That means the Sun is down, and with the lights on inside your house, anyone outside has a _clear view_ of _everything_ going on in your house.
So Skeet (billy) said in an interview that he was so frustrated with Matthew Lilliard shooting the film because he didnt realize it was meant to be a comedy so that he thought Matthew was ruining the movie. And apparently he really did hit him with the phone and Matthew's line "You hit me with the phone dick" was improvised.
An actor would know what the movie was attempting to achieve, because the director would have given specific notes/directions etc. There's no way that Matthew Lillard knew Scream had comedic elements when Skeet Ulrich didn't. Source?
Scream was such a breath of fresh air when it came out. The 80s slashers were all long in the tooth at this point with overly serious sequels. The genre was in a serious rut. Scream felt very 90s at the time with its self referential style and not taking itself too seriously. It somehow toed the line between making fun of slasher movies for comedy and also being a fantastic slasher on in its own right. I grew up watching the 80s slashers on cable but was 14 when Scream came out and I saw it 5 times in the theater. It felt like a slasher for my generation.
Another nod to Halloween was when Casey’s dad tells her mom to “go down the street to the MacKenzie’s”, which was what Laurie told Tommy and Lindsey in the original Halloween. Then toward the end of Halloween H20 a couple years later, Laurie tells John and his girlfriend to go to the Becker’s (Becker is Casey’s last name). I believe Kevin Williamson did the screenplays for both movies.
Fun fact: Randy's actor's name is Jamie Kennedy so when he was saying 'Jamie, Turn Around' in that one scene, it's like he's talking to himself lmfao. Wes Craven was a damn genuius.
As far as the Pamela Voorhees question was concerned, it wouldn't have mattered anyway. If you recall Billy and Stu's dialogue toward the end: "If you get it wrong, you die. If you get it right, you die." If Drew Barrymore's character said Pam, they would have still killed her and her boyfriend. This goes for the 'which door am I at question". Each of them was at a door. That's right. They were both there. How else could they string her body up so fast? The killers were involved in basically each killing to a degree or at least communicated to each other before/after. Also want to give a shout out to the voice himself, Roger Jackson. That first scene, while memorable due to Drew, also relied heavily on the natural and convincing mood/inflection of his voice. One of the things I missed in the second half of the film was the lack of phone calls before kills. If I recall correctly from a Scream documentary, none of the cast ever saw or interacted with Roger during filming.
@@hoaxheaux I respectively disagree. First, they both visited their girlfriends that night to provide the same alibi if questioned. Ultimately, the alibis wouldn't have mattered because Billy and Stu were using Neil Prescot's cell # to make the calls that night. And I believe Tatum's line was "Stu was with me last night, okay", this is film class, right? (a little Scream 2 joke) Then, the hanging of Casey's body. I don't know if you've ever tried standing up or lifting a limp, adult human body. It can be challenging for one person if you're not used to it, i.e. being a firefighter. Given the amount of time it took for Casey's mom to walk out of the front door (after the killer disconnected the phone while dragging her body toward the tree), there's not enough time for him to finish gutting her, secure the noose, hoist her without the parents seeing him. Whichever killer was knocked down by Casey with the phone, had recovered and met the other dragging the body at the tree. Finally, and this detail is small and easily missed: when Casey's parents arrived, the front door is open. Casey did not go out that way. The killer at the patio would have seen it if she had as their was direct line of sight between the front door and the patio doors. The first thing that killer does when he enters the house is to open the front door to let the other killer in to look for Casey. It is a big house after all and they are limited on time. The original plan was for Casey, after seeing the chair come through the glass doors, to run out the front door (since it's on the other side of the house) right into the other killer. Instead she went to the kitchen and out a side door. The point is that the front door was open because one killer opened it to let the other in. All these details and Billy's statement saying that you die even if you answer the question right, lead me to believe that they were both at Casey's house and are both somewhat involved in any appearance of Ghost Face throughout the rest of the film.
My favorite horror film. It’s ultimately a love letter to the horror genre. It’s what made me love horror films when I was a kid and set the standard for horror films in the future and in the past. Also, It’s a huge homage to Psycho and Halloween. Loomis is a name in all three, Drew Barrymore (a star) is killed early just like Janet Leigh (a star) in Psycho and Halloween is credited with creating the rules of the slasher film. The best part of the whole film is how Randy explains the exact ending in the video store because he knows the rules.
When this came out in 96, slasher movies were really at a nadir. I saw this in the theater & it was pretty clear that it was a special movie. It wasn’t surprising that it spawned 4 sequels & started a rebirth of the genre.
Tatum is and always has been my fave character. It was the first instance in which I recall the trope of the “bimbo” blonde bestie character actually having a real personality and agency. Not to mention she is very loyal and pugnacious when it comes to defending her final girl bestie. But watching this now all these years later with the knowledge of knowing what Rose went through or was about to go through with Weinstein and her consequently challenging relationship with Kevin Williamson and conflicted personal feelings about how to sit with the franchise just makes it hit different. But I see her popping up on reunion panels these days with the whole original crew (although notably seemingly never ones featuring Williamson) so maybe she’s learning to embrace it a little more.
Favorite tidbits: Kevin Williamson sent a copy of the script to Wes for any revisions and when he got it back, the only revisions were Wes correcting grammatcal errors.
"How does it feel to be almost brutally murdered?" "Feels great! Thanks for asking!" I'd like to think that that's an exaggeration of the media, but it really isn't.
Thank you. His brilliant script is what Craven brought to life so well. I always find that people forget that he wrote the actual story and it’s his meta writing.
@@MrParkerman6 Wes Craven was a great director and he put his touches on the project but there would be no project without Kevin Williamson. My post was not to disparage Wes because he deserves props, but just to remind that the clever content came from the mind of the writer.
Billy couldn't have called her from prison. I don't think even a small town police department would let him keep a voice changer after his arrest. They tend to take everything a person has on them at that time. Stu obviously made that call.
@@kevinmarquis-lavoie6692 Maybe. I think Billy planned to be arrested...to throw suspicion off of himself. He gets arrested, Sydney gets the call while he's locked up, and just like that, he's longer a suspect.
Don't know if anyone responded to the "fingered" thing, but it's an old early 20th century phrase usually found in mystery, detective, noir, and gangster movies, TV, and novels. It means pointing out the guilty party in an, "It was him. He did it" kind of way; generally to the police. Similar to how "singing like a canary" meant telling who was involved in committing the crime(s) in question. Like ratting someone out. Usually, a person would "sing" to the authorities, so they'd get "bumped off". haha. It fits because this is a horror-mystery movie rather than a pure horror film. Fun reaction. Thank you
Matthew Lillard is the voice of shaggy in most Scooby doo projects after the 2002 Scooby doo live action movie were he played shaggy, he was then hand picked by Casey Kasem the original voice actor of Shaggy to take up the mantle. Matthew Lillard also stated in an interview with Skeet Ulrich about scream he thinks stu could have survived and would love to come back.
Gus Black's cover of Don't Fear the Reaper that plays in this movie is so good. It's only available on the out of print CD soundtrack and only streaming on UA-cam.
I've been counting down the DAYS! I'm even more excited to see your reactions to the sequels. This is one of the most consistently GOOD horror franchises, so I'm eager to know your ranking at the end 😁 Also, knew the Mrs. would appreciate the self-aware humor! The comments the characters make are often similar to her own, haha!
@@austincaldwell4258 There are things about 3 that I don't like, but overall it's still a pretty decent movie. Entertaining, anyway. It's definitely better than most horror sequels, imo.
@@williamwalsh3983 I really dig 4! Maybe because I saw it on opening night with an awesome, responsive crowd, haha. It's not as gritty as the first three (literally, because it looks like the camera's lens was smeared with vaseline, lmao), but I appreciated that they put the humor on the backburner after 3.
I realize now, it became obvious Stu was at least a killer because he went for more beer in the basement where Tatum died. He never came back during all the mayhem until everyone was back outside the front of the house.
Matt Lillard is the best part of "Scream". His crazy and Fairuza Balk in "Craft" crazy should have been casted together as a crazy serial killer couple. You should do "SLC Punk" with him in it. The last thing I Saw him in was the new "Twin Peaks".
Are you joking? He was crap. His 'acting skills' were highlighted for what they are - very forced and amateurish, cartoonist caricature performance (Who the fuck would be cracking jokes when they are bleeding to death and exposed as a serial murderer?) which hits its peak when he sticks his tongue right out for the 45th time, again for no reason at all. His 'shock' when Randy asks him if he thinks Sid would go out with him, and the fake derisory laugh which follows, is downright painful to behold.
@@rnw2739 I'm sorry I don't know what business you're in, but I'm a casting director. When I ask talent to read for a villain, we show them Lander from Inglorious Bastards and Stu from Scream and ask them which kind of "Crazy" can they do? The well-mannered subtle approach or the balls to the wall lunacy of Stu. His standard for insanity goes unmatched. It takes a lot of skill to pull off that character.
@@asian-americanwithanopinio8954 Casting directors have no particular predilection for talent as is well known by the millions of films miscast over the years (Dick Van Dyke in 'Mary Poppins', 'Kevin Costner in 'Robin Hood:Prince of Thieves, John Wayne in 'The Conqueror', Heather Graham in 'From Hell'...I could go on and on and on) so the authoritarian air of your opening remark ("I don't know what business you're in but I am a casting director...") as though that automatically means your opinion is superior to mine and/or you're waiting for rapturous applause, is meaningless. Casting directors do not always pick the best actor for any role, especially nowadays, its all about who has the biggest social media following or some such other rubbish. Furthermore, you very well may be a casting director but clearly notna very busy one if you are watching UA-cam clips of reactors and even more incredulously, commenting on them - announcing yourself and your 'magisterial occupation'. I can tell a good actor from a bad one....its piss easy. Acting is all about believability - when you believe someone they are good...when you dont they are shit. I did not believe one word coming out of his Lillards mouth as Stu.... I could see him 'acting'.... However, I will concede he was alright as Shaggy....but then again he didn't didn't speak in that role. Lastly, I would update your knowledge of film crazies if you cite Stu the ultimate. You should show them Anthony Hopkins in 'Magic' or Tony Perkins in 'Psycho'. To say Lillard gave the definitive off his nut crazy person performance as Stu in 'Scream' proves you either haven't seem many films or you share the psychiatric instability of his Scream character.
@@rnw2739 You may be correct, but the OG point is Matt Lillard's (Villain) acting is noteworthy enough for recognition. That's it. I'm certain there's other elements you could comment negatively about, but your "hate" for Lillard's performance wanted our attention.
This film is so incredibly rewatchable! It’s sooooo good and so comforting! Which you do not associate with horror films! This is lighting in a bottle. It’s so fun and it holds up so so so well. You can rewatch this so well and it feels like the first time. Remove the body count and you still have a good drama.
I got to meet both Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard at a horror convention last year, two of the funniest guys I've ever met. Them doing a Scream panel walking around with mics & sitting with the fans stole the whole weekend
I head a rumor that Dewey was intended to be one of the killers but Craven changed his mine near the end and didn't want to reshoot just to keep fans guessing.
This series was so much fun and it grew along with pop-culture as the series went on. Even more so now with social media, etc. you can see it here the way gale drives the point that the public crave stories like this, this was right at the beginning of the reality television craze. People becoming famous for 15 mins all b/c they were awful. Wes Craven saw it.
Scream, Hackers & Serial Mom totally solidified my love for Matthew Lillard - man he's just one of my faves. For more horror/mystery I would love to see you guys do a reaction to April Fool's Day!! - I want to watch the Mrs. figure that one out.
Matthew Lilliard was also really fantastic in SLC Punk... also, he really is the absolute best casting for Shaggy... I can't think of any other actor who could pull off that role the way he did...
YES! Ghostface\Billy DID Specify the first Friday the 13th. He Literally said ORIGINAL Friday the 13th and did not add a number, so yeah he did. ...and yes it was Billy. Kevin Williamson has confirmed in the opening Scene Billy did the talking and Stu did the killing.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU GUYS FOR THIS POST TODAY! Cancelled my NYE plans because of COVID concerns and this was a nice treat! Love you guys and hope you stay safe all 2022!❤️
Drew Barrymore was asked to play Sidney but she thought it would be more shocking if she was the one who gets killed in the first ten minutes of the movie.
Movie trivia. Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich not only starred in Scream together but they also have on screen history together in the form of working on the 1996 movie The Craft. The Craft was released in May 3, 1996 and Scream released in December 20, 1996
Before Scream hit the theaters in 96 Caller I.D wasn't very popular but right after people watched the movie Caller I.D purchases skyrocketed through the roof.
The Dewey slander in the intro, noooo 😂😂 he was a little suspicious only because he was so... Dewey. Love this series, I am excited, and I am definitely commenting before I finish watching. Happy New Year!! (May edit, may comment anew at the end of watching 😂)
If I mind correctly, when Drew Barrymore's dad tells her mum to "Go down to the street to the Robertsons" (?? something like that) is the same line that Jamie Lee Curtis says in Halloween to the kids.
Curfews aren't about keeping people safe in their homes, it's about making it harder for the killer to get around. With a curfew in place, you can't just wander around unnoticed, so the killer would have a harder time getting to his victims.
Courteney Cox was superb in this. She was able to play someone so radically different to her Monica character from _Friends_ despite initial concerns to the contrary.
My all-time favorite slasher horror film along with _Halloween._ Directed by the late but legendary Wes Craven and written by the underrated Kevin Williamson. Sidney Prescott has always been my #1 all-time favorite movie protagonist out there (and a huge influence on my protagonists as an amateur writer), she's honestly the REAL star of the Scream franchise. And this was the movie that had gotten me into Whodunit mysteries of which I am a huge loving fan of.
Such a great movie. Matthew Lillard is such an underrated actor. He has quite the range. He can do phycos well and can go in the other direction like he did with Shaggy. I know the Scooby movies were not movies of the year, but Matthew really brought shaggy to life. Everything I see him in, he always nails his role.
i haven’t seen all of your reactions on the channel but i’ve seen quite a few and this is the first time Mrs. says right away that a movie was really good 😂 fantastic! Scream was the first horror movie i have memory of, it was released when i was born and i was like maybe 3 or 4 years when i saw a few scenes on the tv, the opening sequence was terrifying and i couldn’t have a better introduction to horror movies lol. i adore this franchise.
I was so looking forward to this as soon as you started scary movies -- this movie is peak fun combined with slasher -- and I was 99% positive that YOU would love it. Anyway, I think Syd is my favorite -- such a boss, yet still feminine.
I discovered your channel like a few months back and have been watching your reactions, and they're everything. I think i live vicariously through you remembering the first time I watched these flicks. Good job.
I saw this last year in theaters for the 25th anniversary showing, it was amazing seeing it on the big screen, I can’t imagine what it was like for those that actually saw it premiere in ‘96.
I didn’t realize how big of an impact Scream would have on me when I first saw it. It ignited a passion for the golden age of slashers that hasn’t quit 25 years later. I sometimes wonder if Prom Night would have been another forgotten relic had it not been so name dropped in this movie.
Fun Facts: - So when Tatum said to Dewey that the janitor is your superior its true cause the janitor at the school that was dressed as Freddy Krueger was Wes Craven lol. - Billy AND Stu were at Casey's and used their girlfriends as Alibis for being out. Stu was on the patio with Steve while Billy was in the front tormenting her on the phone. The question about "Which door am I at" was a trick question. Stu ran to the front door to let Billy in. When her mom was hearing Casey breathing you hear one talking to another saying tree and the the phone ends. - Wes Craven lol to get his actors into character emotionally like Drew and Neve right before he start to film he would run up to them and tell them something sad like dead puppies and then run off and yell action lol. Drew's emotions were legit cause of Wes and for her love for animals lol. - Also to give the actors that real fear feeling for all of his Scream franchise. Roger L. Jackson the voice of Ghostface no one was allowed to see him before filming or during. When he made his calls Wes kept him hidden from a distance to give them that natural feel of terror. Roger L. Jackson also improved lot of his lines as well. - They casted Skeet Ulrich (The Craft, As good as it gets, Riverdale) as Billy and gave him the same kind of hair style cause of how close he looked like to young Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street where who climbed through a bedroom window. - When Billy came through Sidneys window the first time "Fear the Reaper" was playing in the background. - The news lady that was harassing Sidney "how does it feel to almost being butchered" that's Linda Blair from the Exorcist. - If look really closely when Billy was "stabbed" in the bedroom you can see Stu adding the fake blood onto the knife. -Casey's comment about Nightmare on Elm Street about how the first was good but the rest sucked. It's because Wes didn't direct all of the other ones lol. -Kenny actually saved Sidney in his literal final moment after his throat got slashed. He pointed to the back and told her door so she could crawl out. - Ghostface in the bathroom was a prank on Sidney it wasn't either Billy or Stu. - You were right Rose McGowan(Tatum) was actually able to fit through the doggy door. They had to staple her shirt to the door cause she kept falling out. - When Billy hit Stu in the head with the phone it was a accident on Skeets part. The fake blood was so sticky and ended up hitting Matthew Lillard instead of the desk and that was a real reaction to it. Wes loved it so he kept it lol. Matthew also improved his lines with "Houston we have a problem" "the peer pressure" and like you said the comment about his parents lol. - When Billy got stabbed with the umbrella the 2nd time it actually hit Skeet where he had heart surgery when he was younger that was also his real action to the pain. - Drew Barrymore was supposed to play Sidney. But she ended up changing her mind and went to Wes Craven with a idea to have her as the open kill cause no one would expect it. Also would show if they could kill a huge star right off the bat it would mean NO ONE was safe. - Originally Dewey was supposed to die in this but they loved him so much so they changed their minds at the last second and had him give thumb up at the end when he was on the stretcher. -Even though Billy was at sidneys for the attack. It was actually Stu who she fought with when he was tripping up the stairs you can hear ghostface saying "easy" "easy". The next day at the lockers he was checking his face in tatums mirror for any bruises and when Tatum was hitting him with her sucker he says "easy" "easy. -Billy was always 1 handed with his killing if he had a knife if didn't he resorts to choking except for Tatum he used the opportunity with the garage door. Stu uses both hands when using the knife and resorts to other tactics if doesn't have knife. -Stu was the one that called Dewey about the abandon car and also called Randy about the principal after the whole "I'll be right back". Billy killed the principal so they can use him as a deploy to get rest of the guests to leave so the real party can began
One of my favorite often overlooked meta moments of the movie is Jamie Kennedy shouting "Turn Around Jamie" at Jamie Lee Curtis in "Halloween" while the killer's directly behind him.

Fun fact: Randy's actor's name is Jamie Kennedy so when he was saying 'Jamie, Turn Around' in that one scene, it's like he's talking to himself lmfao. Wes Craven was a damn genuius.
I appreciate anyone who appreciates Matthew Lillard in this movie
Matthew Lillard said at a convention that Skeet really threw the phone pretty hard at his head at the end of the movie lol.
Don't forget about Kevin Williamson, he wrote this movie, he even wrote part 2 & 4, he also wrote I Know What You Did Last Summer and The Faculty
And created Dawsons Creek

As far as the Pamela Voorhees question was concerned, it wouldn't have mattered anyway. If you recall Billy and Stu's dialogue toward the end: "If you get it wrong, you die. If you get it right, you die." If Drew Barrymore's character said Pam, they would have still killed her and her boyfriend. This goes for the 'which door am I at question". Each of them was at a door. That's right. They were both there. How else could they string her body up so fast? The killers were involved in basically each killing to a degree or at least communicated to each other before/after.
Also want to give a shout out to the voice himself, Roger Jackson. That first scene, while memorable due to Drew, also relied heavily on the natural and convincing mood/inflection of his voice. One of the things I missed in the second half of the film was the lack of phone calls before kills. If I recall correctly from a Scream documentary, none of the cast ever saw or interacted with Roger during filming.
But they both weren't there! It was only Billy, right? The next day Tatum says Stu was with her "all night."
@@hoaxheaux I respectively disagree. First, they both visited their girlfriends that night to provide the same alibi if questioned. Ultimately, the alibis wouldn't have mattered because Billy and Stu were using Neil Prescot's cell # to make the calls that night. And I believe Tatum's line was "Stu was with me last night, okay", this is film class, right? (a little Scream 2 joke)
Then, the hanging of Casey's body. I don't know if you've ever tried standing up or lifting a limp, adult human body. It can be challenging for one person if you're not used to it, i.e. being a firefighter. Given the amount of time it took for Casey's mom to walk out of the front door (after the killer disconnected the phone while dragging her body toward the tree), there's not enough time for him to finish gutting her, secure the noose, hoist her without the parents seeing him. Whichever killer was knocked down by Casey with the phone, had recovered and met the other dragging the body at the tree.
Finally, and this detail is small and easily missed: when Casey's parents arrived, the front door is open. Casey did not go out that way. The killer at the patio would have seen it if she had as their was direct line of sight between the front door and the patio doors. The first thing that killer does when he enters the house is to open the front door to let the other killer in to look for Casey. It is a big house after all and they are limited on time. The original plan was for Casey, after seeing the chair come through the glass doors, to run out the front door (since it's on the other side of the house) right into the other killer. Instead she went to the kitchen and out a side door. The point is that the front door was open because one killer opened it to let the other in.
All these details and Billy's statement saying that you die even if you answer the question right, lead me to believe that they were both at Casey's house and are both somewhat involved in any appearance of Ghost Face throughout the rest of the film.
My favorite horror film. It’s ultimately a love letter to the horror genre. It’s what made me love horror films when I was a kid and set the standard for horror films in the future and in the past.
Also, It’s a huge homage to Psycho and Halloween. Loomis is a name in all three, Drew Barrymore (a star) is killed early just like Janet Leigh (a star) in Psycho and Halloween is credited with creating the rules of the slasher film.
The best part of the whole film is how Randy explains the exact ending in the video store because he knows the rules.
When this came out in 96, slasher movies were really at a nadir. I saw this in the theater & it was pretty clear that it was a special movie. It wasn’t surprising that it spawned 4 sequels & started a rebirth of the genre.
What’s so good about these movies is each comments on the horror formula for sequels trilogies and reboots
Tatum is and always has been my fave character. It was the first instance in which I recall the trope of the “bimbo” blonde bestie character actually having a real personality and agency. Not to mention she is very loyal and pugnacious when it comes to defending her final girl bestie.
But watching this now all these years later with the knowledge of knowing what Rose went through or was about to go through with Weinstein and her consequently challenging relationship with Kevin Williamson and conflicted personal feelings about how to sit with the franchise just makes it hit different.
But I see her popping up on reunion panels these days with the whole original crew (although notably seemingly never ones featuring Williamson) so maybe she’s learning to embrace it a little more.
"My parents are gonna be so mad at me" has definitely been my favorite line in this movie
Favorite tidbits: Kevin Williamson sent a copy of the script to Wes for any revisions and when he got it back, the only revisions were Wes correcting grammatcal errors.
"How does it feel to be almost brutally murdered?"
"Feels great! Thanks for asking!"
I'd like to think that that's an exaggeration of the media, but it really isn't.
Mrs.Movies called it “really good”! I can die happy! So glad she loved it! 😀 Scream is always such a fun ride! Can’t wait for the new one.
39:15 Most of the credit should be given to the screenwriter Kevin Williamson.
Thank you. His brilliant script is what Craven brought to life so well.
I always find that people forget that he wrote the actual story and it’s his meta writing.
Yes! People need to stop crediting Directors for what the writers do.
@@MrParkerman6 Wes Craven was a great director and he put his touches on the project but there would be no project without Kevin Williamson. My post was not to disparage Wes because he deserves props, but just to remind that the clever content came from the mind of the writer.
Billy couldn't have called her from prison. I don't think even a small town police department would let him keep a voice changer after his arrest. They tend to take everything a person has on them at that time. Stu obviously made that call.
Billy called stu to tell him to call sydney
@@kevinmarquis-lavoie6692 Maybe. I think Billy planned to be arrested...to throw suspicion off of himself. He gets arrested, Sydney gets the call while he's locked up, and just like that, he's longer a suspect.
Don't know if anyone responded to the "fingered" thing, but it's an old early 20th century phrase usually found in mystery, detective, noir, and gangster movies, TV, and novels. It means pointing out the guilty party in an, "It was him. He did it" kind of way; generally to the police.
Similar to how "singing like a canary" meant telling who was involved in committing the crime(s) in question. Like ratting someone out. Usually, a person would "sing" to the authorities, so they'd get "bumped off". haha.
It fits because this is a horror-mystery movie rather than a pure horror film.
Fun reaction. Thank you
Matthew Lillard is the voice of shaggy in most Scooby doo projects after the 2002 Scooby doo live action movie were he played shaggy, he was then hand picked by Casey Kasem the original voice actor of Shaggy to take up the mantle. Matthew Lillard also stated in an interview with Skeet Ulrich about scream he thinks stu could have survived and would love to come back.
"She looks like a moaner" Haha, Happy new year you guys, thanks for 2021, look forward to 2022!!
'Fred the Janitor' was played by creator, writer, director Wes Craven.
Wes Craven was just the director. Creater and writer was Kevin Williamson.
Porgy is saying Fred was literally played by Wes.
The Mrs. is really impressive, calling that there was more than one killer. It'll be interesting to see what she makes of the rest of the series!
Also who killed who...
ua-cam.com/video/1MUt5FNocqs/v-deo.html
thought it was supernatural the first time
She guessed there were two killers?
When she screamed "Jason" at the beginning, did anyone else think "Well, she just got Craig killed?"
No , but I thought "She just got Steve killed."
"Liver alone!". 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I love that delivery!
De-liver-y
20:00 Not sure if someone already said it in comments, but this is actually Wes Craven.
Yup. This movie had a lot of fun Easter Eggs.
Scream movies are 100% the best of the slasher genre and so nostalgic!
"My Mom and Dad are going to be so mad at me."
One of the best lines in history. And if i remember right, Matthew ad lib'd that line.
Gus Black's cover of Don't Fear the Reaper that plays in this movie is so good. It's only available on the out of print CD soundtrack and only streaming on UA-cam.
Yup. It plays after Billy comes through Sid's window. That is a huge clue who the killer is
I've been counting down the DAYS! I'm even more excited to see your reactions to the sequels. This is one of the most consistently GOOD horror franchises, so I'm eager to know your ranking at the end 😁 Also, knew the Mrs. would appreciate the self-aware humor! The comments the characters make are often similar to her own, haha!
The only one I didn't like is Scream 4.
I think 4 was pretty good in it’s own way I don’t like 3
@@austincaldwell4258 There are things about 3 that I don't like, but overall it's still a pretty decent movie. Entertaining, anyway. It's definitely better than most horror sequels, imo.
@@williamwalsh3983 I really dig 4! Maybe because I saw it on opening night with an awesome, responsive crowd, haha. It's not as gritty as the first three (literally, because it looks like the camera's lens was smeared with vaseline, lmao), but I appreciated that they put the humor on the backburner after 3.
@@donnybuoy I'm not going to spoil it for Mrs. Movie but I have to admit, I loved the line that was delivered just before the killer got it in 4.😆
Gotta love Wes Craven as Fred the janitor. Especially given producer Bob Shaye's proclivity for making cameos in Nightmare movies 😄
I realize now, it became obvious Stu was at least a killer because he went for more beer in the basement where Tatum died. He never came back during all the mayhem until everyone was back outside the front of the house.
You should definitely watch Wild Things. I wonder whether she would guess all the twists and turns. So far, her track record is really impressive.
Yes!!!! Great movie!
I was obsessed with that movie when I was a teenager. Mostly because of the three way and I was in love with Denise Richards haha.
They’ve already watched this one 😉
Matt Lillard is the best part of "Scream". His crazy and Fairuza Balk in "Craft" crazy should have been casted together as a crazy serial killer couple. You should do "SLC Punk" with him in it. The last thing I Saw him in was the new "Twin Peaks".
SLC Punk was great.
Are you joking? He was crap. His 'acting skills' were highlighted for what they are - very forced and amateurish, cartoonist caricature performance (Who the fuck would be cracking jokes when they are bleeding to death and exposed as a serial murderer?) which hits its peak when he sticks his tongue right out for the 45th time, again for no reason at all.
His 'shock' when Randy asks him if he thinks Sid would go out with him, and the fake derisory laugh which follows, is downright painful to behold.
@@rnw2739 I'm sorry I don't know what business you're in, but I'm a casting director. When I ask talent to read for a villain, we show them Lander from Inglorious Bastards and Stu from Scream and ask them which kind of "Crazy" can they do? The well-mannered subtle approach or the balls to the wall lunacy of Stu. His standard for insanity goes unmatched. It takes a lot of skill to pull off that character.
@@asian-americanwithanopinio8954 Casting directors have no particular predilection for talent as is well known by the millions of films miscast over the years (Dick Van Dyke in 'Mary Poppins', 'Kevin Costner in 'Robin Hood:Prince of Thieves, John Wayne in 'The Conqueror', Heather Graham in 'From Hell'...I could go on and on and on) so the authoritarian air of your opening remark ("I don't know what business you're in but I am a casting director...") as though that automatically means your opinion is superior to mine and/or you're waiting for rapturous applause, is meaningless.
Casting directors do not always pick the best actor for any role, especially nowadays, its all about who has the biggest social media following or some such other rubbish.
Furthermore, you very well may be a casting director but clearly notna very busy one if you are watching UA-cam clips of reactors and even more incredulously, commenting on them - announcing yourself and your 'magisterial occupation'. I can tell a good actor from a bad one....its piss easy. Acting is all about believability - when you believe someone they are good...when you dont they are shit. I did not believe one word coming out of his Lillards mouth as Stu.... I could see him 'acting'.... However, I will concede he was alright as Shaggy....but then again he didn't didn't speak in that role.
Lastly, I would update your knowledge of film crazies if you cite Stu the ultimate. You should show them Anthony Hopkins in 'Magic' or Tony Perkins in 'Psycho'. To say Lillard gave the definitive off his nut crazy person performance as Stu in 'Scream' proves you either haven't seem many films or you share the psychiatric instability of his Scream character.
@@rnw2739 You may be correct, but the OG point is Matt Lillard's (Villain) acting is noteworthy enough for recognition. That's it. I'm certain there's other elements you could comment negatively about, but your "hate" for Lillard's performance wanted our attention.
This film is so incredibly rewatchable! It’s sooooo good and so comforting! Which you do not associate with horror films! This is lighting in a bottle. It’s so fun and it holds up so so so well. You can rewatch this so well and it feels like the first time. Remove the body count and you still have a good drama.
Escape/defense options available: open door, garage tools/weapons, garage door
Girl: i uses da cat dooor
I got to meet both Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard at a horror convention last year, two of the funniest guys I've ever met. Them doing a Scream panel walking around with mics & sitting with the fans stole the whole weekend
I'm jealous
@@fargo3172 I only got to go cuz I have awesome friends....I was broke yet they insisted on paying for everything so I could go
Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich both appeared in the movie The Craft (1996)
I’m so glad that you’re watching them! One of my favorite horror franchises. Props to guessing there was more than one killer almost right away! ❤️
I head a rumor that Dewey was intended to be one of the killers but Craven changed his mine near the end and didn't want to reshoot just to keep fans guessing.
This series was so much fun and it grew along with pop-culture as the series went on. Even more so now with social media, etc. you can see it here the way gale drives the point that the public crave stories like this, this was right at the beginning of the reality television craze. People becoming famous for 15 mins all b/c they were awful. Wes Craven saw it.
R.I.P. Betty White😪
That house was on sale a few years ago and a guy toured it and surprisingly that bedroom door is still hanging there with gashes from the knife.
Matthew Lillard is criminaly underrated, I love his movies
Scream, Hackers & Serial Mom totally solidified my love for Matthew Lillard - man he's just one of my faves. For more horror/mystery I would love to see you guys do a reaction to April Fool's Day!! - I want to watch the Mrs. figure that one out.
Matthew Lilliard was also really fantastic in SLC Punk... also, he really is the absolute best casting for Shaggy... I can't think of any other actor who could pull off that role the way he did...
he was in Without a Paddle in 2004
He was good in Senseless
Serial Mom is one of the most fucked bullshits ever since it is based on a true life horrible situation and makes light of it.
He has a certain Capote vibe in Law and Order SVU.
I've always said "I like her." Then you said "get your finger off the trigger, you dingbat." Now I LOVE you.
This movie ranked at #13 in the 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo. You both of you, me, & the movies and TV have a Happy New Year
Mr. came back awful quick with that Titanic reference in the PG-13 scene.
Also Kevin Williamson who wrote this was the writer for Halloween H20 1998. The same score used here was used in H20.
Musta not been made by Beavis and Butt-Head 'Cuz they never scored!
16:20 Hello, Linda Blair (aka Regan from the Exorcist)
YES! Ghostface\Billy DID Specify the first Friday the 13th. He Literally said ORIGINAL Friday the 13th and did not add a number, so yeah he did. ...and yes it was Billy. Kevin Williamson has confirmed in the opening Scene Billy did the talking and Stu did the killing.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU GUYS FOR THIS POST TODAY! Cancelled my NYE plans because of COVID concerns and this was a nice treat! Love you guys and hope you stay safe all 2022!❤️
Happy New Years Eve, thanks for watching with us today!!
Drew Barrymore was asked to play Sidney but she thought it would be more shocking if she was the one who gets killed in the first ten minutes of the movie.
Movie trivia. Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich not only starred in Scream together but they also have on screen history together in the form of working on the 1996 movie The Craft. The Craft was released in May 3, 1996 and Scream released in December 20, 1996
You guys HAVE to do the Strangers movies, especially the first one.
Idk why but I died when your head covered the S in Scream so the screen just said “CREAM”
Fun Fact - when Casey punches Ghostface in the face with the phone - it's actually Wes Craven playing Ghostface in this scene.
Before Scream hit the theaters in 96 Caller I.D wasn't very popular but right after people watched the movie Caller I.D purchases skyrocketed through the roof.
There’s a formula!, a VERY SIMPLE FORMULA!, EVERYBODY’S A SUSPECT!!
15:17 Not related but that's Frances Lee McCain who plays Mrs. Riley. She played Lynn Peltzer in Gremlins. 😊
The Dewey slander in the intro, noooo 😂😂 he was a little suspicious only because he was so... Dewey. Love this series, I am excited, and I am definitely commenting before I finish watching. Happy New Year!! (May edit, may comment anew at the end of watching 😂)
If I mind correctly, when Drew Barrymore's dad tells her mum to "Go down to the street to the Robertsons" (?? something like that) is the same line that Jamie Lee Curtis says in Halloween to the kids.
Curfews aren't about keeping people safe in their homes, it's about making it harder for the killer to get around. With a curfew in place, you can't just wander around unnoticed, so the killer would have a harder time getting to his victims.
27:32 First time I've noticed 'Smoke' on top of the tv. Love that film.
Courteney Cox was superb in this. She was able to play someone so radically different to her Monica character from _Friends_ despite initial concerns to the contrary.
Hey, it's Linda Blair from the Exorcist at 16:26 as the reporter. Cool!
You forgot to tell her, or maybe I'm telling you both, that Wes Craven also played Fred the janitor.
“Special Officer Doofy reporting!” I can’t wait for you both to see Scary Movie 😆🤣
My all-time favorite slasher horror film along with _Halloween._ Directed by the late but legendary Wes Craven and written by the underrated Kevin Williamson. Sidney Prescott has always been my #1 all-time favorite movie protagonist out there (and a huge influence on my protagonists as an amateur writer), she's honestly the REAL star of the Scream franchise. And this was the movie that had gotten me into Whodunit mysteries of which I am a huge loving fan of.
Such a great movie. Matthew Lillard is such an underrated actor. He has quite the range. He can do phycos well and can go in the other direction like he did with Shaggy. I know the Scooby movies were not movies of the year, but Matthew really brought shaggy to life.
Everything I see him in, he always nails his role.
i haven’t seen all of your reactions on the channel but i’ve seen quite a few and this is the first time Mrs. says right away that a movie was really good 😂 fantastic! Scream was the first horror movie i have memory of, it was released when i was born and i was like maybe 3 or 4 years when i saw a few scenes on the tv, the opening sequence was terrifying and i couldn’t have a better introduction to horror movies lol. i adore this franchise.
16:22 did you recognize the not possessed. Linda Blair aka Regan Macneil? Her skin really cleared up.
I was so looking forward to this as soon as you started scary movies -- this movie is peak fun combined with slasher -- and I was 99% positive that YOU would love it.
Anyway, I think Syd is my favorite -- such a boss, yet still feminine.
Sidney is my #1 favorite, too, she had a huge impression on me when I first watched this at age 5 (no kidding, I even had a kid crush on her).
I discovered your channel like a few months back and have been watching your reactions, and they're everything. I think i live vicariously through you remembering the first time I watched these flicks. Good job.
Wes Craven actually played the janitor dressed like Freddy!!
Not you,Fred!
3:38 I don't. My back sliding door used to have them but they were ugly so we took them down. I kind of wish we still had them sometimes.
This movie is why everyone now has caller ID 😋
"That's not ideal." 🤣
The actor playing Billy is also one of the dads in Riverdale. Idk if you would have seen that.
Still now, Scream might have one of the best intros ever
I've seen so many reactions where people suspect Dewey. Red herrings doing their job I guess.
I saw this last year in theaters for the 25th anniversary showing, it was amazing seeing it on the big screen, I can’t imagine what it was like for those that actually saw it premiere in ‘96.
I didn’t realize how big of an impact Scream would have on me when I first saw it. It ignited a passion for the golden age of slashers that hasn’t quit 25 years later. I sometimes wonder if Prom Night would have been another forgotten relic had it not been so name dropped in this movie.
Fun Facts:
- So when Tatum said to Dewey that the janitor is your superior its true cause the janitor at the school that was dressed as Freddy Krueger was Wes Craven lol.
- Billy AND Stu were at Casey's and used their girlfriends as Alibis for being out. Stu was on the patio with Steve while Billy was in the front tormenting her on the phone. The question about "Which door am I at" was a trick question. Stu ran to the front door to let Billy in. When her mom was hearing Casey breathing you hear one talking to another saying tree and the the phone ends.
- Wes Craven lol to get his actors into character emotionally like Drew and Neve right before he start to film he would run up to them and tell them something sad like dead puppies and then run off and yell action lol. Drew's emotions were legit cause of Wes and for her love for animals lol.
- Also to give the actors that real fear feeling for all of his Scream franchise. Roger L. Jackson the voice of Ghostface no one was allowed to see him before filming or during. When he made his calls Wes kept him hidden from a distance to give them that natural feel of terror. Roger L. Jackson also improved lot of his lines as well.
- They casted Skeet Ulrich (The Craft, As good as it gets, Riverdale) as Billy and gave him the same kind of hair style cause of how close he looked like to young Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street where who climbed through a bedroom window.
- When Billy came through Sidneys window the first time "Fear the Reaper" was playing in the background.
- The news lady that was harassing Sidney "how does it feel to almost being butchered" that's Linda Blair from the Exorcist.
- If look really closely when Billy was "stabbed" in the bedroom you can see Stu adding the fake blood onto the knife.
-Casey's comment about Nightmare on Elm Street about how the first was good but the rest sucked. It's because Wes didn't direct all of the other ones lol.
-Kenny actually saved Sidney in his literal final moment after his throat got slashed. He pointed to the back and told her door so she could crawl out.
- Ghostface in the bathroom was a prank on Sidney it wasn't either Billy or Stu.
- You were right Rose McGowan(Tatum) was actually able to fit through the doggy door. They had to staple her shirt to the door cause she kept falling out.
- When Billy hit Stu in the head with the phone it was a accident on Skeets part. The fake blood was so sticky and ended up hitting Matthew Lillard instead of the desk and that was a real reaction to it. Wes loved it so he kept it lol. Matthew also improved his lines with "Houston we have a problem" "the peer pressure" and like you said the comment about his parents lol.
- When Billy got stabbed with the umbrella the 2nd time it actually hit Skeet where he had heart surgery when he was younger that was also his real action to the pain.
- Drew Barrymore was supposed to play Sidney. But she ended up changing her mind and went to Wes Craven with a idea to have her as the open kill cause no one would expect it. Also would show if they could kill a huge star right off the bat it would mean NO ONE was safe.
- Originally Dewey was supposed to die in this but they loved him so much so they changed their minds at the last second and had him give thumb up at the end when he was on the stretcher.
-Even though Billy was at sidneys for the attack. It was actually Stu who she fought with when he was tripping up the stairs you can hear ghostface saying "easy" "easy". The next day at the lockers he was checking his face in tatums mirror for any bruises and when Tatum was hitting him with her sucker he says "easy" "easy.
-Billy was always 1 handed with his killing if he had a knife if didn't he resorts to choking except for Tatum he used the opportunity with the garage door. Stu uses both hands when using the knife and resorts to other tactics if doesn't have knife.
-Stu was the one that called Dewey about the abandon car and also called Randy about the principal after the whole "I'll be right back". Billy killed the principal so they can use him as a deploy to get rest of the guests to leave so the real party can began
This was great on Patreon! I am such a fan of this film I have to support all the posts lmao
My favorite thing about Scream first time watches is almost everyone is so confident when they reply “Jason!” to the first question
This is the greatest new year's present ever. Thank you so much. I'm crying wtf
