Stu might've been the accomplice, but they were both equally terrifying. Stu is terrifying bc he did what he did bc he WANTED to. Billy gave him a plan and as long as he got to kill some people he didn't care. This is the same guy who had dolls hanging in his attic and thought of everything as some kind of joke. I love Billy, but he was no mastermind 🤣 him and Stu were bumbling teens, they were careless and impulsive. It's a shame the later movies focus more on Billy, Stu deserves some credit for the heavy lifting and it was Stu's idea to frame Neil. Him being the accomplice doesn't take away from his unhinged nature either.
One of the things they did (in my opinion) with Billy that was great was making him so obviously suspicious that I was convinced he wasn't the killer. So I was actually caught off guard by his reveal.
I really like this idea of Gale being the embodiment of the truth about Maureen's death, and how only after Sidney starts dealing with/accepting it both women can finally come together. It almost feels, in a weird way, as if good old messy Gale was a succesor or substitute to messy Maureen, which is actually kind of endearing, almost as much as it is tragic. Great analysis, I agree with basically everything :)
Billy and Stu worked perfectly together because Stu was wild and erratic, while Billy was in control and ice cold. But then just when you thought you’d figured them out, Billy would fly into an unbridled rage, while Stu would regress into a childlike fear. It was fascinating to see the different aspects of their personalities being brought out under stress.
Pls do a vid from weakest to strongest GHOSTFACE. Obviously Billy is gonna be the strongest overall in every category except strength.. Roman obviously. 1) Billy Loomis... kill count 3 2) Roman Bridger... kill count 9 3) Stu Macher..... kill count 4 4) Ms Loomis,(Debbie) kill 1 or 2 5) Richie Kirsch... kill count 2 6) Jill Roberts/Prescott.. kill 7 7) Charlie Walker.. kill count 3 8) Mickey Altieri... kill count 5 or 7 9)Amber... kill count 4 (Dewey) My picks
Sandra Goth: Of course she is. Sidney Prescott has had the benefit of learning from all the final girls before her. She didn't just know what to do. She gained her knowledge from the others, starting with homegirl in A Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Laurie "She Who Will Not Die" Strode in the Halloween franchise
Awesome video man , you’re totally right about Stu and Billy being intimidating without the mask. Utterly terrifying. The only other killers who remotely had this effect for me was Mickey and Mrs Loomis. Both completely psychotic.
You finally put it into words. I've been trying to explain why the first is different/better than the sequels. I love the whole franchise, but you're right. The first was the best because we were following one character. Which also makes it feel a lot more realistic.
It was pretty great for a lot of reasons. The story was good. The motive was compelling, and believable enough. It was scary, meta, and referential. All in all just a perfect example of what the genre could be...and realistic enough to be very, very uncomfortable. Good stuff.
Scream 1996 is my favorite horror movie of all time. It ranks at #2 on my top 10 favorite movies with The Dark Knight at #1 and Twister at #3. Hints my top 3 favorite genres. Action, Horror and Drama. This is also where I was first introduced to Neve Campbell before she later became my favorite actress after seeing other projects like Skyscraper and The Lincoln Lawyer. She's so badass and I could definitely see her in the DC or Marvel universe. She's already joining the video game world in Twisted Metal as Raven. So there's something.
Watched the first time when i was 8 or 9 and its still my favorite horror movie ❤️ the twist, the meta aspects and the characters are soooo good and it balances horror and comedy in a perfect way. Scream is the movie i watch when i'm sick or having a bad day
Agreed, it was an absolute game changer at the time because no one saw it coming. Sadly anticipation for all the sequels has been so massive that we have had leaks, rewrites and changes of writer just to keep the plots under wraps. The first one was untouched, untarnished and perfect as a result. You will never get the shock/wow factor that you had when you watched the original for the very first time. Modern audiences have become so savvy that now we watch the sequels and deconstruct them to deduce the killers identities
Roman is almost 30 in S-3 as he says to Lance Henriksen.. "Im almost 30 and im done." So he'd been 26 in S-1996 & Billy & Stu would've been 16-17. Which means they did Maureen when they were 14-15. Roman says in S-3. "Been looking for Rina Reynolds my whole life, but Maureen Prescott says Rina was dead. So he thought,, great idea" " your bf didn't like seeing daddy in my movies too much, didn't like it at all". "The kid was motivated" "Just needed a few pointers" All he needed was a few pointers. A partner to sell out in case you got caught, person to frame." "Like he was making a movie, I'm a great director Sid"
@James Pope It ended at 'Milton's' house with a hugh banner happy 30th birthday Roman. Milton, remember says don't cut the cake without me. They're 16-17 in SCREAM because they're in their final year of school. Sid is still working on her college application remember so can't be 18.
Something that Halloween, nightmare on elm street, Friday the 13, hell raiser, chucky etc are missing is the human element. Ghostface is literally immortal and not supernatural unlike the previous stated franchises. I love scream 1 it’s very UNIQUE to this day
Man it’s between scream and Halloween. I go back and forth. For sure Sydney is my favorite final girl. Have a deep connection with scream watching it when it came out at home with my mom n dad when I was 6.
Scream 6 out soon, going to go to cinema to see that 👌. I loved the first too, I saw that one at the cinema. Wasn't sure what Scream would be like, been a fan of the franchise ever since. Great video mate👍
I may not agree about Scream being the best, but I do agree that it is good and that others who mimicked it didn't understand what made it good. The copycats just saw teenagers being killed by 'real life' killers, so they used that as a foundation, instead of the fact Scream fleshed out it's mainly lead and used the meta aspect to give the killers a unique angle. Personally, I think Scream 4 recaptured the magic, since it had Sydney's cousin trying to replace her for fame, while Sydney stops her as she shows how far she's come from the first film.
Scream is the Metal Gear Solid 2 of Slasher films. A post modern meta analysis of slashers with a whodunit mystery mixed in. Scream is not the best Slasher. It is the best deconstruction of a Slasher.
It's a weird one right they almost did the parody or spoof affect to well but at the same time it adds to the movie it doesn't take anything away from it also great work from you brother love beyond the mask
I always did think Billy and Stu were definitely the scariest compared to the other Ghostfaces. I can’t quite put my finger on why, but it could have to do with the fact that they did it just ’cause they wanted to. Billy’s explanation to Sidney always seemed like it was his excuse to do messed up stuff. I’m convinced he would’ve become a killer even without the parental abandonment. He just chose to take out his rage on and torment Sid. Meanwhile Stu likely didn’t need any convincing in order to kill- other than the fact that it would be fun. That being said, the film has this unique blend of horror and comedy which is a huge reason it’s so good. Not the Casey scene though, that one is straight up horror. But afterwards we see poor ol’ Ghostface be kicked, have a fridge door slammed in his face, and beer bottles thrown at vital regions. It’s hilarious. Even when Ghostface isn’t doning the mask, the film becomes really funny when you know who the killers are. That part where Billy practically falls down the stairs just to convince Sid that he’s totally dying makes me laugh every time now. And don’t even get me started on Billy’s and Stu’s whole dynamic after the reveal! Basically Scream is super funny as you watch it, but at the same time, you know it would be utterly terrifying to actually live it.
It was firmly established that Billy was obsessed with horror movies, and he was clearly an intense young man with narcissistic tendencies. Finding out about his father’s affair and his mother leaving just gave him the excuse he needed to turn his warped fantasies into reality.
Scream 1996 is definitely my favorite slasher movie and the whole franchise is much better than other horror franchises like Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street. It perfectly balances horror, mystery, and comedy and brings the meta aspect to it perfectly.
Chaos Master: Scream is definitely one of my favorite horror/movies, but Halloween is my unapologetic all time favorite. But, to be fair, Scream couldn't have been made, much less successful, Without the others; which is why it refers to them (especially Halloween) so much. The main characters Know Halloween and the others and love it. The same as Sidney Prescott being the result of all of the other final girls and Ghostface is a continuation of Myers, Jason, and to a lesser extent, Chucky and Freddy. To borrow the title of an old tv documentary show, it's about the Man (Wes Craven), Moment (the 90s, after an onslaught of slasher movies), and Machine (the use of the best parts of the others: horror, comedy, mystery, and a great villain to counter a solid protagonist). I love Scream Because it does what it does so well
@@chaosmaster169 Yep. Me, too. That's what I was saying makes it unique. ANOES and Child's Play have franchises that combined horror with comedy, but aside from maybe the first movie of each, there really isn't any mystery the way Psycho, Black Christmas, Halloween, and FT13 does. Wes Craven masters all the best elements with this movie. If Halloween wasn't a thing, this would probably be my number 1 horror movie. It's just so great

My biggest mistake was watching Scream 5 first. It totally ruined my first time experience with this movie since I knew who the killers were. And ngl, Sidney and Tatum are kinda hot in this movie.
Subbed, great analysis man! 💯🙌😃 Can you please make a video on the rest of the scream series, especially with 6 coming out on March 10th, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how the series evolves over time, and how it continued to show us different elements of the horror genre. 😱👻
I would not say Wes Craven's Scream is the best slasher out there as there are others just as good and even better. Plus it only works as the 1980s slasher craze was a thing. It also worked as movies like Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, and Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers came along. You even have Wes Craven's New Nightmare that was the building blocks for this movie but from the perspective of the fans rather than the crew members. Regardless, I usually will favor horrors that are as serious as possible. Scream is one of the exceptions as the comedy helps to keep it grounded in reality. It was made to deconstruct and reconstruct those tired 1980s slasher tropes or as I say rip them apart and put them together again. The sequels may not have the love this movie did but they help to go at the Final Girl trope through Sidney and now Samantha and Tara. The other aspect the sequels do is show that while most see legacy as an inherently good word, it's truly neutral as evil never dies but changes shape as the copycat Ghostfaces and the evil legacy demonstrates. It's like the legacy the Columbine School Massacre and even the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s serial killers. Truthfully Michael Myers started out as grounded and Pamela Vorhees was grounded but I love the legacy this movie left as much as the movie itself.
I tolly agree scream 1996 is the best love it to bits my favourite movie of all time I remember seeing it fir the first time when I was 6 and love it that I dress up as ghostface every halloween and everyone today at 29 I have the favourite faces masks 2 of them and the knb mask and a scream one sparkle robe and a prop buck 120 love scream one and aways will
Scream 3 Is my personal favorite roman killed It as Ghostface It was very entertaining the story that roman told towards the ending was good the movie was just Incredible I miss Roman
Mines too It was Incredible especially how Roman told the story about Sidney mom around close too the end the action was great love the voice machine ghostface uses too I love Scream 3
I'm starting to see scream 5 as a filler movie to get all characters well known before scream 6 and scream 6 sound like they are borrowing from a previous script idea from scream 2 or 3 which ever one had a cult and had stu returned as the mastermind from prison but obviously its gonna be tweaked a bit to fit the new characters
Quoting Barbarian movie. If you make a copy of a copy of a copy? You'll get S5. Let's hope that S6 won't be a inbreed of the cinema. S5 was a Scooby Doo.
The original Scream is indeed great... Until a certain point, that is. Once we have the killers reveal, it starts falling apart, with problems that will repeat themselves throughout this entire franchise: the killers talking endlessly about their motives instead of killing Sidney and some other surviving characters, and the fake deaths of Gail, Dewey and Randy. Not to mention the fact that the two hacks behind it - Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven - ripped off two obscure horror movies (Evil Laugh, 1986, and There's Nothing Out There, 1991) in the screenplays of the Scream movies.
Never seen the sequals, but spoilers...... The true mastermind that manipulated Billy into the killings doesn't show up till the third film. Wes's last in his planned trilogy. That person being none other than Sidney's half brother. Sidney's mother denied him because he was the result of a bad action. This hurt the boy, and he setup the murder of his mother and sister by finding the right psychopath.
Scream 1 will forever be goated

What he said about Billy and Stu being scary unmasked compared to the others is so accurate honestly

Why does Billy have a moustache on pictures lol
I agree with everything he has said
First
The original Scream is indeed great... Until a certain point, that is. Once we have the killers reveal, it starts falling apart, with problems that will repeat themselves throughout this entire franchise: the killers talking endlessly about their motives instead of killing Sidney and some other surviving characters, and the fake deaths of Gail, Dewey and Randy.
Not to mention the fact that the two hacks behind it - Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven - ripped off two obscure horror movies (Evil Laugh, 1986, and There's Nothing Out There, 1991) in the screenplays of the Scream movies.
