You MUST continue the franchise. It's one of the few franchises where each movie is genuinely good. Everyone has their opinions on ranking, but each one is undeniably entertaining. One thing that has gotten lost over time is that it was originally intended to be satire. Movies like "Scary Movie" pushed that satire to the extreme and so I think it's often forgot that Scream really did it first. It's intentionally meta. Intentionally pokes fun at itself. And tells a damn good story while being actually scary. And Sydney is the greatest "final girl" in the genre, imo. Please continue!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can't TELL you how many times I've watched this movie, and I say something about the dang Jiffy Pop EVERY TIME, without fail. 😅 (I was 10 when this movie came out, and I watched it so many times. I still have my worn-out VHS tape of this movie!) 🖤🔪🖤
@26:40 "Jamie, look behind you" was a clever line. He's talking to Jamie Lee Curtis, but the actor playing him is Jamie Kennedy. It's like he's talking to himself saying to look behind him.
First, Sidney is a badass who tried going out the front door and the 2nd best option was her bedroom UPSTAIRS. How her doors are setup to keep someone out and because she knows how to dial 911 from a computer. She’s always thinking ahead, BECAUSE she’s a survivor. Put some respect on her name. Respectfully😅
Plus, it wasn't stupid for her to go outside since she did call the killer's bluff. She was safe outside, but as soon as she went back inside her house, she was attacked.
@@Marcus616 One of the reasons this movie is so damn good and stands up so well is just how much it plays around with the expectations set up by the rules. Except for the main plot itself... it sticks to the rules there, but all the others, it twists them and ignores them. It's a really fun movie because of that.
@@justlive2809 in movies and tv shows, being meta means being self-aware. A more extreme example would be how Deadpool knows he is in a movie, so he talks to the audience, jokes about the writing quality, and references other movies. Scream doesn't go as far as having characters know that they are in a movie, but it shows self-awareness in the way the characters talk so much about scary movies and the way that the movie explains and subverts the established "rules" of scary movies.
You should totally react to the other scream movies. The surviving characters get progressively more smart and badass, as well as more fed up with being targeted by serial killers.
@@Uriel77200 The whole franchise is the classic "Who-Done-It Slashers"......What do you expect??..........Its the mystery of trying to find out who is behind the mask and their motives
I mean yeah. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 😂 We like the formula, that's what we want in a Scream movie. Some are better than others, sure but its the "who done it" slasher subgenre. They're ALL like that. Urban Legend, Cherry Falls, Valentine, the list goes on. I respect that that kind of thing doesn't land for everyone and I get it, it's personal taste. But the ones who love it, we enjoy it.
@@Uriel77200 Wow, a slasher murder-mystery movie franchise where the mystery of the murderer is revealed at the end of the movie??!? *SAY IT AIN'T SO!!*
A fun fact, it´s that Courteney Cox (Gale Weathers) and David Arquette (agent Dewey), had a romance in the real life, like in the film (you can see the chemistry), and were married and had a daughter (Coco Riley Arquette). They´re not together since many years ago, but they had their story.
Fun fact: the original name for this movie was Scary Movie. Years later the Scary Movie came out. Scream brought slashers back. With all the 80s and early 90s slashers were burnt out. Scream was very meta. Wes Craven Rest in Peace.
Glad I found this channel a week or so ago. Have been binge watching ever since. Hello from a 71yo stoner granny from Seattle who has loved horror movies since I saw 'Them' on TV in the 1950s
You gotta understand, almost NO ONE had a cell phone like that in '96. Sure, they existed. But most people still relied on their landlines. And a 16-18 year old carrying a phone back then? Yeah, no.
Exactly. The only ones who had them were super rich kids and even then it would have been rare. So for a high school kid like him it really, really, really looked suspicious.
Scream was an interesting movie. Slasher films were big in the 80s, but fizzled out towards the end of the decade and into the 90s. Then, came Scream. It was an inventive slasher film, and was also provided commentary on the entire genre.
The irony is that it's Wes Craven's movie. The same director who created Nightmare on Elm Street. That's right. The dude who created one of the biggest slasher franchise single handedly meta'd the genre with this movie
@@forestcatkay14 it's not like that at all. Drew Barrymore was originally cast as Sydney, but it was her idea to be Casey instead. all the promos, even the movie poster, made it seem like she was the lead. it was a bait and switch.
Fun Fact: When Rose McGowan (Tatum) was 'trying' to get through the cat door, she was able to fairly easily and just had to make it look like she couldn't do it.
Another fun fact. No way in hell that could kill you. Not even close to amount of pressure that would require. It would also short out before doing much harm.
@Verasoul Another fun fact: it's a goddamn movie! Chill TF out! And IF your head ends up in that doorway in that fashion, it will absolutely be harming you, short out or not.
@@Essenceofblood5238 How was I not being chill? Projection, much? Also, I never said that you wouldn't get hurt, but it wouldn't come close to killing you. Hell, it wouldn't even be able to lift you up much before shorting out.
@@Verasoul Yes it could lift. I've seen vids where they tested it with shoving pipes into a cat door roughly the same dimensions of the one in the movie. They got the weight up to Rose McGowan's speculated weight at the time of shooting. Whether or not a human head could make it in there? Whether or not said head could end up stuck, pulled in from the force and have a chunk of skin ripped or the wrong vein/artery nicked & risk bleeding out? 🤷♂️ Who knows for sure. Why don't you test it out yourself since you're apparently so hot on the subject?
I have watched this movie a thousand times and this is the first time I’ve noticed the leather jacket in the principal’s closet. IYKYK. Shout out FONZIE!!!!
The fact that there are two killers accomplishes two things. For one, it misdirects the audience. They assume there's only one killer, so it directs suspicion away from either one when they aren't actively stalking and killing. And secondly, it provides a plausible in-universe reason for why the killer can be in more than one place at a time, as it's become a common horror genre trope that the killer is somehow able to travel impossibly fast from one place to another as if possessing the supernatural ability to teleport.
I also love on rewatches that at the beginning when he asks "What door am I at?" becomes an impossible question, since they're definitely at both entrances.
Also, this was a relatively new idea to have multiple killers who use the same costume. You're led to believe (even in the sequals) that there's one because it's the same costume (and actor inside) every time. Even seasoned Scream/Stab fans will keep thinking in the sense of "Who's the killer" consciously knowing there's 2 but it still is hard for our brains to wrap around.
"Why don't you take a STAB at Scream" is actually kind of a funny coincidence because *in* the universe of Scream, the murders that happen in the first movie actually spurs a movie franchise called "Stab" that continues its running until literally the most recent entry, Scream VI
Scream is one of my favorite movie franchises. They’re funny, so meta and makes you guess who you think the killer is. Definitely give all the other Scream movies a watch/reaction.
UMMMMM Are you forgetting the role he legit was born to play.......Shaggy (Live action and voice acting) Also don't forget his monologue about love and women near the start of "What Love Is" (2007)
I think it's safe to say that Alex will never be touching the Terrifier movies, though it would be entertaining to watch him get thoroughly traumatized by Art The Clown.
Can we just get him to do Event Horizon or something? Let's just really mess him up. Or Midsommar, Green Inferno... handful of others. Enough with the slasher kids play movies. :D lol
Matthew Lillard's character, Stu, always was (and still is) SO damn lovable to me, and i dont care in the least if that's concerning 😂 He is still my favorite and most memorable villain in all 90s-2000s horror flicks 😍😍😍😍
The way he delivers the peer pressure line, so immediately and genuinely like he's thought this through. lol. Lillard is always fun in the films he's in. He's just a goofball in every single one of them.
Yeah, I love him and his character too. So damn funny. I had a friend at middle school who looked and behaved in the same way as Stu, except for murders though…
PLEASE check out the sequel. For some reason this is one of the only slasher franchises that are truly EXCELLENT (namely because it makes fun of all the horror movie tropes and then does them properly.) The sequel is almost, if not just as good as the first, here, and the rest (aside from maybe 3) are solid experiences as well. Each of them have this meta commentary, from regular sequels, to trilogies, to legacy sequels, to reboots. Really fun stuff
Been obsessed with movies like this since I was a kid! Will never get tired of it. “Why do you wanna know my name?” “Cause I wanna know who I’m looking at..” “What did you say?” “I said I wanna know who I’m talking to…” “That’s not what you said.” “What do you think I said?” CHILLS every time! ❤😂
The "look behind you" sofa scene was very meta. >Jaime< Kennedy was watching >Jaime< Lee Curtis, and was in the same "look behind you" situation that he was warning her about.
@@ChakasCave it is already a miracle u mention 3 lol, gets to much hate. I like almost all of them, but 4 didn’t need to happen for me🤣 I so wish I was around when the first ones came out, give me a older slasher and I’m happy, but now there is almost no originality.
Fun Fact - The janitor was dressed like Freddy Krueger because this film was made by Wes Craven, and he also created the Nightmare on Elm Street too. To the dressed Janitor was an Easter egg towards his other films
Alex please please please watch the rest of the movie they are all so good in my opinion the fan base has therr favurputre but I find enjoyment in all thrm and thr twists are always good for someone who hasent seen them before 🔥👌
The killers in the scream movies being deranged and kind of stupid highlights how scummy they are as people to go on those killing sprees for stupid and petty reasons in the first place.
Yeah but you see the movies go deeper than that with 3 connecting to 1 making it all make sense as the movies were originally planned as a trilogy....So it may come off as stupid reasons now but after watching 2 and 3 the reasons for all the killings we based on one sole motive.......To destroy and make Sydney's life a living hell for having the "perfect life"
Well, in the first one anyway. In Scream 2 they have legitimate reasons. Anyway the fun part of the killers killing people for petty ridiculous reasons is lampooned in Hot Fuzz if you haven't seen it.
@@Thedude8450No, it wasn't. They had a completely different idea for 3 and the original writer, Kevin Williamson (also wrote I know What You Did Last Summer) only made outlines for sequels before going into production. Columbine happened and the studio wanted to cut out the violence and focus on the comedic aspects. Craven met them in the middle, but the studio threw out Kevin Williamson's notes and completely changed the setting so as not to be at all associated with hometowns or schools. They got Ehren Krugar to write the movie and the only thing good under his belt would later on be The Ring (which was a remake at that) unless you really liked the "writing" in the Transformers movies. Scream 3 is arguably the weakest movie by far in the entire franchise.
I've never before had to pause a video and laugh my ass off at a reaction until this one! It was so out of left field when you said, "Dude, I would straight up 'fece' right into my hand and throw it in their face." Lmao!!! 🤣🤣🤣
He was also saying very loudly that “there’s always some bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend.” Feel like that would turn some heads, particularly from the ladies.
@@Verasoul sad that it only took 1 generation for The Fonz to be forgotten....and the sad part is that I was born after happy days....times are changing....
@@blairm6128 This. You still can't out-cool The Fonz. Many have tried. Some have stolen some of his moves, but not a single one of them can be The Fonz.
God I love Scream so much. Nice mix of horror, satire and comedy. Also I love how of all the slasher killers, Ghost Face is the most chaotic and messy one(s). Tripping, being hit with bottles and a fridge door.
To which after that the whole opening to one episode of Friends in Season 6 they changed all the names to add in Arquette to pay tribute to the newly weds
If you wanna go one step deeper in the Meta pool, the actor that was saying "look out behind you Jamie!" while Ghostface was behind him is also named Jamie 🤯
I met Skeet Ulrich and Dermot Mulroney last year at my very first convention and I'm hoping to get a mask signed by every Ghostface Actor and definitely need to meet Roger L Jackson too, Scream isn't only my favorite movie of all time but my favorite franchise too it's a comfort series
My strange granddaughter has met everyone but gale and dewey. The cast knows her so much that they run to her when they see her. She just turned 14. I have tons of pictures in my phone with them throughout the years. She's in a video on UA-cam with Billy and stu. Stu is late and when he arrives you see her turn around real fast to see him with a huge smile on her face.
Dude I love when you do horror movies! You crack me the F*** up! If they ever do a remake of The Ghost And Mr. Chicken, you're a lock for the Don Knotts role! 🤣
This is where Courtney "Gale Weathers" Cox met David "Dewey" Arquette. Do you remember when her name changed on the credits for "Friends" to "Courtney Cox Arquette" ?
I'm sure this comment is late because somebody else probably already pointed it out to you, but I love the song so screw it -- "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds was written specifically for "Scream" and became the series' sort of theme song. There's a new, extended version of it featured in "Scream 2", a remix only available on the soundtrack of "Scream 3" till Nick released it on a rarities album, and it pops up a couple more times later in the series. I loved that "Peaky Blinders" used it; it's such a badass song!
I watched this movie for the first time on October 1st and it was one of the best decisions ever. I finally understood why this is THE scary movie people go to (yes I've seen all the Scary Movie spoof movies many times lol)
This is honestly some of the best content watching Alex react to a scary film! lol what a wild ride bahaha Casey’s mum cries “where is Casey” Alex “dead as fuck” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve met all the guys from this one. Skeet, Matthew, Jamie and David. This weekend I’m meeting Rose who plays Tatum and the voice of ghostface Roger Jackson.
I remember watching this for the first time, 6th grade, sleep over at my friends house. I pretended to be asleep on the floor (because we would lay on the ground watching tv) and my friends were going to move me. I screamed and scared the sh-t out of them LOL Was so excited earlier this year, being 37 years old and getting to meet the cast of Scream at Creep IE Con. Was UNREAL ! They are the sweetest ever.
If you told me that Shaggy turned out to be the killer I wouldn’t have believed you. Matthew Lillard was just recently asked if his character was still alive and would appear in the next movie, he said that “he didn’t know and even if he did he would lie to your face” 😅
One thing to remember is that having a cell phone was a lot less common at the time the movie was made so having one when ghost face was stalking a victim and in the phone made him more suspicious

The guy wearing Freddy Krueger-like clothes is (was) the director (of both films)
Now that are fun cameos and make sense to haha
And a recent one but not going to say it for if you haven’t seen it
My favorite is Jay and silent bob in scream 3. I have that clip on my channel
You mean 1 - 4 he directed before his passing
@@ChakasCave it is already a miracle u mention 3 lol, gets to much hate.
I like almost all of them, but 4 didn’t need to happen for me🤣
I so wish I was around when the first ones came out, give me a older slasher and I’m happy, but now there is almost no originality.
Wes Craven is also the creator of Freddy Krueger.
33:50 this was so unnecessarily funny
He even added the friends theme song lol 😆
Whoever forced you to watch this movie. Thank you and please force him to continue the franchise! Sorry Alex.
Fun Fact - The janitor was dressed like Freddy Krueger because this film was made by Wes Craven, and he also created the Nightmare on Elm Street too. To the dressed Janitor was an Easter egg towards his other films
I always come back
-Matthew Lillard as purple guy
Yer
Shaggy for me, but I was born the year this movie came out, saw Scooby Doo before this.
Matthew Lillard as Stu Macer in this is one of my favorite things ever 😂
0:55 These horror movies got Alex yapping about post traumatic stress 😂😂
Alex please please please watch the rest of the movie they are all so good in my opinion the fan base has therr favurputre but I find enjoyment in all thrm and thr twists are always good for someone who hasent seen them before 🔥👌
"why don't you take a stab at scream?" Loved this line :)
@@StockStandard91 I’m a sucker for puns so u and me both lol
@@crazycatlady6226 that and it’s a reference to scream 2 and scream 3
I NEED to see Alex watch this entire franchise it is a necessity
The killers in the scream movies being deranged and kind of stupid highlights how scummy they are as people to go on those killing sprees for stupid and petty reasons in the first place.
Yeah but you see the movies go deeper than that with 3 connecting to 1 making it all make sense as the movies were originally planned as a trilogy....So it may come off as stupid reasons now but after watching 2 and 3 the reasons for all the killings we based on one sole motive.......To destroy and make Sydney's life a living hell for having the "perfect life"
Well, in the first one anyway. In Scream 2 they have legitimate reasons. Anyway the fun part of the killers killing people for petty ridiculous reasons is lampooned in Hot Fuzz if you haven't seen it.
@@LudusAurea Huh? Do you mean it was all for the Greater Good?
@@Thedude8450No, it wasn't. They had a completely different idea for 3 and the original writer, Kevin Williamson (also wrote I know What You Did Last Summer) only made outlines for sequels before going into production. Columbine happened and the studio wanted to cut out the violence and focus on the comedic aspects. Craven met them in the middle, but the studio threw out Kevin Williamson's notes and completely changed the setting so as not to be at all associated with hometowns or schools. They got Ehren Krugar to write the movie and the only thing good under his belt would later on be The Ring (which was a remake at that) unless you really liked the "writing" in the Transformers movies. Scream 3 is arguably the weakest movie by far in the entire franchise.
They had better reason than the actual real life killer theyre based on, who was just se*ually motivated
I love how over the top some of the performances are in this film, it really makes Scream a great film
First off: FORCED to watch? This movie is a beautiful classic 😂❤
You were spot on about Richard Gere.
I've never before had to pause a video and laugh my ass off at a reaction until this one! It was so out of left field when you said, "Dude, I would straight up 'fece' right into my hand and throw it in their face." Lmao!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hell I haven't even finished the reaction and your comment made me pause and laugh 😂👍🏿
Matthew Lillard is such a fun actor
16:46 she was looking at Randy because he works at the store and she wanted his help with something, but instead he was nerding out with Shaggy.
He was also saying very loudly that “there’s always some bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend.” Feel like that would turn some heads, particularly from the ladies.
Except he wasn't shaggy yet... he was however, perhaps somewhat prophetically, Cereal Killer.
Was just coming to say this
Respect 🫡
@@dannykent6190his mom 😂😂😂
“Nice, so the exorcist reminds you of your girlfriend” with the clip playing I lost it lmao
My man knows Courtney Cox by name but refers to Henry Winkler as Stanley Yalenats dad....my guy needs to show some respect to The Fonz
@@blairm6128 not to mention Bob loblaw
Dude. Alex is like 12. What do you expect?
@@Verasoul sad that it only took 1 generation for The Fonz to be forgotten....and the sad part is that I was born after happy days....times are changing....
@@blairm6128 This. You still can't out-cool The Fonz. Many have tried. Some have stolen some of his moves, but not a single one of them can be The Fonz.
Yep "Meta" is the best way to describe this WHOLE franchise. But it gets better and better and more intense each movies
lol no 2 and 3 are awful. 4 is great, 5 and 6 (is there a 7 now?) aren't even worth talking about
God I love Scream so much. Nice mix of horror, satire and comedy.
Also I love how of all the slasher killers, Ghost Face is the most chaotic and messy one(s). Tripping, being hit with bottles and a fridge door.
Classic! Lol Mathew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich are iconic in this movie!
"It's Stanley Yelnats dad." Yeah, but he's better known as Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli!
[Happy Days theme starts playing]
The love connection between Gale and Dewey was happening between shooting scenes. David Arquette and Courteney Cox got married soon after.
To which after that the whole opening to one episode of Friends in Season 6 they changed all the names to add in Arquette to pay tribute to the newly weds
Every jump scare my man takes up a defensive karate stance 😂😂 love it!!!
If you wanna go one step deeper in the Meta pool, the actor that was saying "look out behind you Jamie!" while Ghostface was behind him is also named Jamie 🤯
" He's the killer! Weird dude, thin mustache!"
I honest to god hope that this is the beginning of you reacting to ALL of the “Scream” movies 🤣🤣🤣
Alex gonna watch Scream? I am soooooo fucking up for this. The king of jump scares 😂😂
One of my favorites!! i got to meet the voice actor of "Ghostface"
@@MyJAG25 oehh u lucky, I have to admit I’m a bit jealous 🤣
I have a thing for his voice, can’t help it😂
I met Skeet Ulrich and Dermot Mulroney last year at my very first convention and I'm hoping to get a mask signed by every Ghostface Actor and definitely need to meet Roger L Jackson too, Scream isn't only my favorite movie of all time but my favorite franchise too it's a comfort series
My strange granddaughter has met everyone but gale and dewey. The cast knows her so much that they run to her when they see her. She just turned 14. I have tons of pictures in my phone with them throughout the years. She's in a video on UA-cam with Billy and stu. Stu is late and when he arrives you see her turn around real fast to see him with a huge smile on her face.
Awesome 😎
@@andreadeamon6419 She is one lucky granddaughter!!
Dude I love when you do horror movies! You crack me the F*** up! If they ever do a remake of The Ghost And Mr. Chicken, you're a lock for the Don Knotts role! 🤣
This is where Courtney "Gale Weathers" Cox met David "Dewey" Arquette. Do you remember when her name changed on the credits for "Friends" to "Courtney Cox Arquette" ?
Matthew Lillard is one of the most underrated actors of his generation.
2:02 "It's the creepiest voice I've ever heard." I think it's time for him to watch SAW
I'm sure this comment is late because somebody else probably already pointed it out to you, but I love the song so screw it -- "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds was written specifically for "Scream" and became the series' sort of theme song. There's a new, extended version of it featured in "Scream 2", a remix only available on the soundtrack of "Scream 3" till Nick released it on a rarities album, and it pops up a couple more times later in the series. I loved that "Peaky Blinders" used it; it's such a badass song!
I watched this movie for the first time on October 1st and it was one of the best decisions ever. I finally understood why this is THE scary movie people go to (yes I've seen all the Scary Movie spoof movies many times lol)
I saw Scary Movie first. Totally thought the killer in Scream was Dewey.
This is honestly some of the best content watching Alex react to a scary film! lol what a wild ride bahaha Casey’s mum cries “where is Casey” Alex “dead as fuck” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the BEST scary movies ever made. Matthew Lillard in this is amazing!
Scream is 1 of my top 5 favorite films, and top 3 franchises (at least during the Wes Craven era). Glad you are getting to doing them finally.
I really hope Alex joins the others in reacting to the entire franchise. It’s never not one to disapoint
I’ve met all the guys from this one. Skeet, Matthew, Jamie and David. This weekend I’m meeting Rose who plays Tatum and the voice of ghostface Roger Jackson.
love the horror movie reactions.
hope you do more alex and thanks for suffering through these for our entertainment
26:41 The “Jamie, look behind you”-line was extra meta because Randy was played by Jamie Kennedy.
26:40 Another fun meta bit about this moment is that actor's name is also Jamie...Jamie Kennedy.
I remember watching this for the first time, 6th grade, sleep over at my friends house. I pretended to be asleep on the floor (because we would lay on the ground watching tv) and my friends were going to move me. I screamed and scared the sh-t out of them LOL Was so excited earlier this year, being 37 years old and getting to meet the cast of Scream at Creep IE Con. Was UNREAL ! They are the sweetest ever.
you better watch the rest of them aswell
If you told me that Shaggy turned out to be the killer I wouldn’t have believed you. Matthew Lillard was just recently asked if his character was still alive and would appear in the next movie, he said that “he didn’t know and even if he did he would lie to your face” 😅
One thing to remember is that having a cell phone was a lot less common at the time the movie was made so having one when ghost face was stalking a victim and in the phone made him more suspicious
Writers: I want to make the audience think it could be the principal.
Alex: I love this principal.
The bit with him throwing the phone at Mathew lillard was accidental but they kept it in love when they do that
I've adored this franchise since I was a teen in the 90's. I hope you do them all!
Yes!!! It’s about time! Do the entire series. It’s worth it.
Mathew Llilard, the actor who played Psycho Stu also played Shaggy in the Scooby Doo movies. An awesome actor. Also loved him in Good Girls.
Maybe it would be a fun idea to have a heart rate monitor on during these horror movies! Love your videos btw.
Scream is a classic! Please do Scream 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. 🙏🏻 They are all incredible movies in the franchise.
This franchise is solid. The "Who Done It" aspect of this franchise is so fun. Hope you continue man.
PLEASE WATCH THE REST OF THE SERIES!!! Id love to see predictions half way through of who you think ghostface is every time
The janitor in the Freddy Krueger outfit was Wes Craven, the director. :D
Alex, this movie was filmed in the 90s before everyone had a cellphone. Him having one on him *does* increase the suspicion on him
Horror franchises = Scream 🐐
using Scream 4 Ghostface for a Scream 1 video thumbnail got me fucked up
Legit thought the same thing ahahaha
I highly recommend "You're Next"
It's one of those horror movies with a competent protagonist
It’s definitely worth reacting to all the other Scream films. They’re all amazingly dun
