@@cindymcandersever since I first caught that joke in the 90s I was like did they hire him for that role before making the line like did they change it for him maybe the guy was obsessed with a different actress before or did they hire him specifically so they could use that line 😂
"He kinda had a Freddy Kruger look going on..." That's director Wes Craven as Fred, the school janitor 🤣🤣🤣 It's a multi-layer meta pay-off to the line "The janitor is your superior!" as well as a reference to Wes creating Elm Street. RIP to a horror legend.
And that is exactly why Drew Barrymore, who was originally cast as Sidney, decided it would be better for her to play Casey and die in the first scene. She figured if they killed the biggest name in the movie in the first scene, the audience would figure NO ONE is safe.
Reminds me of Eye-gor reaching through the door at the "brain depositary." OMG, Google tells me there's an actual "brain repository" not far from where I live!
The Drew Barrymore opening twist is still genius. She was the only well known name in the cast, and viewers in 1996 were expecting her to be the main star, not knowing that she gets killed off within the first few minutes.
When I first learned about computers decades ago, I never would have guessed they'd be used to broadcast lovely sensitive ladies being scared to death in October, for the amusement of random dudes at home.
Scream is pure 90s movie bliss for me...what a time, so many great memories. 😁 And experiencing this movie in the theater was definitely something😂 Jen, through parts of your reaction I got a little worried about you.😱 Thanks for sharing all this with us in another awesome video!👍
One of my favorite scenes in this movie is the scene with Billy Stu and Randy in the video store. The vibe between Billy and Stu is so telling once you know that they’re the killers. I love the rewatching this movie I’ve seen it so many times and still appreciate the hints and red herrings and the way Billy and Stu play off of each other the whole time
Drew Barrymore was the biggest name star (Courteney Cox was getting close to that level at the time) and was featured in all the promotion for the film. When she died in the opening it genuinely shocked audiences. I distinctly remember the gasps and murmuring after it happened when I saw it in the theater. This was the film that resurrected the horror genre in the 90s.
There was still good horror coming out, I would really say it revived the slasher genre. Slashers had fallen into bad, lifeless sequels of series from the 80’s.
@@Wraiven22It did bring it back though, growing up the only horror movies people talked about were old ones from the 70s/early 80s, the characters were still big names but the movies weren't and nothing new knocked any of them in to the background. Scream absolutely revived the genre.
Yeah, when Drew Barrymore auditioned for this movie, they wanted her to play Sidney, the girl who survives, but she wanted to play the first victim because she was a big name back then (still is, of course) and she felt no one would expect her to die because the big stars are always the ones who live in horror movies up to that point, so she felt it'd throw the whole audience off to see her die right off the bat. She was the face on all the movie posters, and it absolutely threw audiences when she died because no one knew who (if any) would survive this movie. It was brilliant, really. :) I love horror and laughed through this movie because of all the clever references to other horror movies I'd watched over the years, but I get why it's just scary for you and humor doesn't go with fear for you. It's fine. Everyone's different. You certainly do not need to apologize for being scared watching a scary movie. :)
Neve Campbell in this movie was beautiful. 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.
Yes I have PTSD & thus have trouble with emotional regulation. I react to fear with "full activation". I have heard exposure to horror movies in a safe environment, over time, can help with this tho 🤷♀️
@@jenmurrayxo I used to be a real wimp with horror movies. Best thing you can do is watch them and don't close your eyes etc. You eventually get desensitized to it. After that you get to have fun getting a kick out of how they filmed it, the ideas they came up with, etc.
19:05 The guy who directed Scream 1-4 which is Wes Craven is who wrote and directed A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984). Check out the movies Scary Movie(2000), Jennifer’s Body(2009), I Know What You Did Last Summer(1997), The Faculty(1998), Jeepers Creepers(2001), Trick ‘r Treat(2007), and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer(1998).
I was fully onboard with SCREAM, SCREAM 2&3 UNTIL Sydney's fregging nightmare sequence with her mom appearing on front lawn fence. I checked right out right away.
I wish I could still get scared with "horror" movies. I enjoy watching people that normally don't watch horror movies, for that reason. Great reaction!
"The Fonz" is one of the ultimate Generation X icons. It continually amazes me when reactor after reactor after reactor do not recognize him. Not much slips past Jen though, great job!
Love all the Easter eggs in this film see if you can find them. My favorite is the shirt worn by Rose McGowan in homage to Johnny Depp in nightmare on elm Street
Oh man, this is me watching scary movies, always. This came out when I was prime horror movie watching age and my friends loved it. Me, not so much. I hope you were able to take care of yourself afterwards! Wishing you hot cocoa and rainbows!!!!
29:46 is one of my favorite meta moments in this movie, and in the whole franchise. It's a slasher villain sneaking up on an actor named Jamie who's watching a slasher villain sneaking up on an actor named Jamie, while saying, "behind you, Jamie!" Jamie Kennedy is the actor on the couch. Jamie Lee Curtis is the actor in the movie he's watching. Scream is my favorite horror franchise. And since it looks like you won't be watching the rest of them lol, I will say that IMO all of them are good movies with clever meta-narratives built into them. It's rare for a horror franchise to have all of its entries actually be good (though of course, some Scream movies are better than others). The franchise is built around calling out and satirizing the tropes of the slasher genre and of the practice of turning slashers into franchises, while still being scary executions of those tropes in a franchise, at the same time. It took a break for a about 10 years, and came back in Scream 4 with a fresh set of tropes to satirize. Then, another 10 year break did the same thing all over again... this time satirizing tropes that only exist in the slasher genre because of this franchise. I won't spoil you with details in case you do watch the rest of them. It really is one of the best horror franchises around.
It turns out that Billy's pain in this scene was completely real. Though the umbrella had a retractable tip and Ulrich wore a protective vest under his shirt to protect himself from potential injury, Sidney's second stab of the umbrella missed the vest. It stabbed Skeet Ulrich on his chest instead, which ended up impacting a wound from an open heart surgery operation the actor had when he was ten years old. In the end, Craven decided to use the footage of Ulrich's genuine pain in the Final Cut.
The meta-nature of this movie was absolutely brilliant. Wes Craven (who also did the Nightmare On Elm Street movies) is a certified genius. 28:01 - Jen: "Aiggggh! What's that? Oh, it's only my hair." lol
19:05 You may have missed it, but he called him Fred. Alluding to Freddy Krueger. Fred is also Wes Craven, the Director of this movie and "A Nightmare on Elm Street." And yes, that is the outfit of Freddy Krueger.
The original script of the movie was titled "Scary Movie" (later changed to Scream) which would eventually be the name used for the parody movie by the Wayans brothers in the year 2000
1. You should watch the blooper reel it's hilarious and 2. No one ever talks about how it's only the girls who fight back against Ghostface. Himbry, Dewey and Kenney all just get got. And justice for Kenny, he goes down like a hero! In his final moments he runs to get Randy, and his final words are to point out the little hole for her to get away from the killer. RIP Kenny
Loved Jen's fixation that Drew died at the beginning. I laughed at Jen's comment of paraphrase "she is from Party of Five. I guess she is dying since Drew Barrymore died!" Lol.
All the Scream movies are pretty good honestly. They are good slasher movies but what makes them different is that they all have a mic of meta commentary of the horror genre in general, comedy, and a “whodunit” aspect. They are all well worth watching
So, in the garage door scene, Rose McGowan kept making it through the cat door with no problem. Eventually they had to resort to nailing her shirt to the door frame to get the scene shot.
This film single-handedly brought horror back into popularity. I worked at a theater when it was released and still remember it's long run, months after it had come out it was relegated to smaller auditoriums that fit maybe 50 or so people where there was standing room only in most of the prime time screenings. I really miss that energy popular smaller films brought to theaters.
Hey Jen, in reference to the house, there's a vid on here by grimmlife from about a year and a half ago, where they rented the actual house it was filmed in and the nearby area. They showed how some of the stuff was still the same in scenes from this movie. Pretty neat to see old sets from movies still intact today
@@james7275able For sure, I say it's a super important film (and franchise) for giving the genre a new boost thru the later 90s and beyond. They're a good channel too, with going to a number of really cool locations of horror films, although some wouldn't be so great for being able to be inside and watch the movie that was in it like Scream would
The opening to this movie is so iconic, and I still remember how riveting it was in the theater on opening night in 1997! I mean, the audience was absolutely stunned after Drew Barrymore was killed in the beginning, and then the rest of the film felt completely fresh, which really revitalized the horror genre in the late '90's and early 2000s. Also, the second movie isn't nearly as scary, so I think it would be a lot easier for you to get through, Jen... So maybe you'll consider giving that a shot.
@@odiumgeneris729 Most only know her from Exorcist and likely haven't seen her as a young woman or adult. I always try to drop a rec for Hell Night and Repossessed for some older Linda Blair.
She wasn't a big name, except for that movie. When this came out in 96 I didn't have a clue what Linda Blair looked like in the modern day and nobody I watched it ever went "omg, it's Linda Blair!"
The great thing about Scream was it was so self aware, in that it even though it is a serious subject it constantly refers to old Horror films and makes reference to the plot of them etc. It also spawned superb sequels, each on of them is great too and well worth a watch. You gotta do the sequels, they are brilliant in their own right, The Scream movies are like a who's who of female actors, some incredibly famous female in actors in all of them. the writing is just so clever. You gotta do the sequels!
The first three were my first gate way into horror and will always hold a palace in my stone cold heart. At a time when horror movies were at an all time low this franchise revitalized the genre in a tongue in cheek meta way while referencing the movies that preceded it and breaking the expectations you were expecting. ‘Not in my movie’ if there were any words to sum up Scream its those 4.
Great movie reaction Jen you held it all pretty good and handled it pretty good and this movie had a lot of Easter eggs in the scene where the principal was looking outside into the hallway and she’s the janitor dressed up as Freddy Krueger. Well that was an Easter egg to the movie nightmare in Elm Street, and the janitor was actually West craven the director of Elm Street as well as the scream movies. Again, great reaction and happy early Halloween. 37:44
Jen you are friggin' adorable. I hope you see at least Scream 2. In my opinion it is the perfect horror sequel. This was the first horror series I saw where the bad guy really gets beat up over the course of the movie.
Jen, at 30:46, you say that you have a feeling like there's something behind you. I would say, "or someone." There is someone back there, beside the fireplace, but it's Superman, watching your back. You're good. Love your reaction videos! You're incredibly awesome.
Saw this movie when I was 14 and it sparked my interest in filmmaking which I have been doing ever since. I have a lot to be thankful for when it comes to this movie....and the whole series and Wes Craven.
This might be the best reaction to this movie yet! I think Jen set a new record for "oh shit" "oh f**k" "oh frig" and "my God" said in one reaction! And yes Jen,you need a bigger chair!! And the pony tail scare!!!
Are the rest of the Scream movies good?

I'm looking at your thumbnail pic, that blanket is all encompassing! 😊
They're all good, and while most rank the 3rd the lowest, it's reputation has increased over the years.
1-3 are awesome….the law of dimensions returns applies thereafter for 4-whatever the hell they’re on now lol
Honestly it's the most consistent and fun (maybe not for Jen!) horror series out there. 3 is the weakest, but 2, 4 and 5 especially are pretty good.
The "behind you, Jamie" thing gets more meta when you remember he's played by Jamie Kennedy.
I haven’t seen many reactors realize this. It’s such a great joke inside a joke. Love it.
@@cindymcandersever since I first caught that joke in the 90s I was like did they hire him for that role before making the line like did they change it for him maybe the guy was obsessed with a different actress before or did they hire him specifically so they could use that line 😂
@@brandibastian4193 well now I need to know the answer to this. Lmao.
@@cindymcanders I used to follow him on Twitter I actually asked that question on Twitter he liked it but didn't answer 😭
Props to Jenn for recognizing The Fonz!! 😁👍
AAAAYYYYEEEE
There was a leather Fonz jacket in the closet when the principal looked in it.
@@chuckg3818 Omg I never noticed! 😍
Yes!
She and Mike Bracken are the only two so far who recognized him.
“My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me” 😂😂 one of the best improvised lines ever, Matthew Lillard is such an underrated actor.
"You hit me with the phone d!ck!!!" always cracks me up as well 🤣🤣🤣
Lillard is a treasure.
He's so good in SLC Punk, too.
Lillard is fantastic in this. My favourite thing about the movie. 😂
He's really good in Twin Peaks The Return.
Spoiler:
Him not being in the 3rd movie still hurts.
"He kinda had a Freddy Kruger look going on..."
That's director Wes Craven as Fred, the school janitor 🤣🤣🤣
It's a multi-layer meta pay-off to the line "The janitor is your superior!" as well as a reference to Wes creating Elm Street. RIP to a horror legend.
Also, Craven was wearing the exact costume worn by Englund in ANOES.
Jen's comment had me laughing. So CUTE!
I sometimes wonder if the red and green wind shield at 31:07 is also a reference to Freddy Krueger. Probably just a coincidence.
I hope she goes back and watches that part again, Thanks to Wes for all his horror fun!
"Star-studded cast...they'll probably all die." LOL
THAT is a tag line worthy of adding to every poster 🤣
And that is exactly why Drew Barrymore, who was originally cast as Sidney, decided it would be better for her to play Casey and die in the first scene. She figured if they killed the biggest name in the movie in the first scene, the audience would figure NO ONE is safe.
Dad: "I heard screaming."
Sid: "No you didn't."
Jen: "I screamed." 😂 😂
My favorite part is at 28:00, when Jen gets startled by her own ponytail! Amazing, and adorable.
Reminds me of Eye-gor reaching through the door at the "brain depositary." OMG, Google tells me there's an actual "brain repository" not far from where I live!
"I wish I was watching Party of Five."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Jen's Patreon Members: "Do you like scary movies?"
Jen: "NOOOOO 😭"
Remeber when owning a cell phone was rare enough to be suspicious
I got a week of detention in high school for having a pager, which the principal believed were only used by drug dealers.
Billy says "everybody's got one, Sheriff" and back in the '90s I was like, "nah, not really". But nowadays they're ubiquitous.
The Drew Barrymore opening twist is still genius. She was the only well known name in the cast, and viewers in 1996 were expecting her to be the main star, not knowing that she gets killed off within the first few minutes.
Which it stole/borrowed from "Psycho", spoiler Janet Leigh (Jamie Lee Curtis' mom) killed early-ish in the movie.
A 21 year old playing a teenage high school student. 😂
Drew asked the director to get the part she played, instead of the lead, which was intended for Drew. If I'm not mistaken.
@@kevinschultz5678exactly, but even that was like 40 minutes in
Courtney fox was a mega star because of friends
hahaha you got fozzi , shaggy, Monica, and a charmed one all in one movie.
When I first learned about computers decades ago, I never would have guessed they'd be used to broadcast lovely sensitive ladies being scared to death in October, for the amusement of random dudes at home.
LOL what a way to put this 😂
There nothing more meta than Jamie Kennedy shouting at the screen 'look behind your, Jaimee' as the killer is right behind him
Matthew Lillard had a brief period where he was labeled an "annoying" actor you didn't want to see. Totally insane. He was always great!
Love that guy, he was also great in Thirteen Ghosts (which would probably give Jen a heart attack).
He is actually my favorite character in this one I loved everything about him he is hilarious and perfect for the role.
Finally someone who recognized the Fonz
👍😂👍
Also the Fonz's leather jacket was in the closet that the principal opened when right before he was attacked.
@@pebrain21oh cool. I never noticed that
Ayyyyy
Coach Kline you got your manhood back!!😂
I love the 1990s aesthetic. The hairstyles, the camera lighting, the make-up, the youth of these actresses that I love. It's all so beautiful. 🥹
Your horror reactions are tremendous fun. It’s part of why you’re the best reactor, Jen.
@@GlebNerzhin She's definitely way better than Three Mile Island or Chernobyl. Thank you, I'll be here all week, tip your waitresses. 🤪
Randomly stumbled on your channel this evening and this is the best 'Scream' reaction I've ever watched, thanks!
I hope you stick around for more of Jen's videos. Look around at some of her older ones too. It's lots of fun to watch her reactions.
@@P.HATHCOX I definitely will! I watched her 'Silence of the Lambs' reaction straight after this one...next stop 'Halloween'.
If you want to see someone truly suffer thru a horror movie watch her reaction to The Exorcist. I actually felt so bad for her after that one 😂

This movie is such genius. Great satire of slasher films while also a great slasher film. That's hard to do!
I wait 11 months for October and Jen’s reactions to scary movies. It’s worth the wait.😀
“Well… I had a time” 😂
Theres a whole genre of good horror comedy "the burbs" "the frighteners" being good examples
One of my favorite scenes in this movie is the scene with Billy Stu and Randy in the video store. The vibe between Billy and Stu is so telling once you know that they’re the killers. I love the rewatching this movie I’ve seen it so many times and still appreciate the hints and red herrings and the way Billy and Stu play off of each other the whole time
I'm obsessed with how cozy and autumn you look. A+ outfit, A+ lighting, A+ background.

Same goes for "You hit me the phone, you dick!" Skeet wasn't supposed to nail him with the phone. That was his real reaction to it.
Yes, because the fake blood was a little too sticky. Lol
This has been one of my favourite reactions I've seen from you Jen. Brilliant!! 😁
Ahhhh! Finally...you get to enjoy the Scream series :) Please do the whole franchise
Wow Jen! 😱You were so stressed throughout this whole movie. Congrats for making it through 🙌🏼

Skeet Ulrich is a great actor. In the 90s he was the poor man's Johnny Depp.
He’s the trailer park Depp 😂

A great reaction, Jen, you did really well over coming your fears. I'll see you on Sunday for Star Trek TNG. Enjoy your evening. 🙂

They showed how some of the stuff was still the same in scenes from this movie. Pretty neat to see old sets from movies still intact today
Yep. I watched that Grimmlife video. That'd be pretty cool to stay in that house overnight and watch Scream.
@@james7275able For sure, I say it's a super important film (and franchise) for giving the genre a new boost thru the later 90s and beyond. They're a good channel too, with going to a number of really cool locations of horror films, although some wouldn't be so great for being able to be inside and watch the movie that was in it like Scream would
"I Know What You Did Last Summer" was another good 90s horror flicky.
The book was better and made way more sense
Great reaction, good for you for not turning the movie off and kept reacting.
The opening to this movie is so iconic, and I still remember how riveting it was in the theater on opening night in 1997! I mean, the audience was absolutely stunned after Drew Barrymore was killed in the beginning, and then the rest of the film felt completely fresh, which really revitalized the horror genre in the late '90's and early 2000s.
Also, the second movie isn't nearly as scary, so I think it would be a lot easier for you to get through, Jen... So maybe you'll consider giving that a shot.
“I wish I was watching Party of Five”
oh Jen, you sweet woman. You are not built for horror movies.
The way you’re thinking anyone can get it cause Drew Barrymore went in the first 15 min is exactly what Drew wanted the audience to think. Perfect!
Everybody always misses the Linda Blair cameo.
They're too young to notice.
@@odiumgeneris729 Most only know her from Exorcist and likely haven't seen her as a young woman or adult. I always try to drop a rec for Hell Night and Repossessed for some older Linda Blair.
First time I’m hearing that she was in Scream, I had no idea
She wasn't a big name, except for that movie. When this came out in 96 I didn't have a clue what Linda Blair looked like in the modern day and nobody I watched it ever went "omg, it's Linda Blair!"
@@jacklauder8226 she was a reporter at the school that obnoxiously jumped out at Sydney and asked her a question.
You know it's bad when Jen mutters the F-word dressed like E.T. ready do karate chop the screen.
The great thing about Scream was it was so self aware, in that it even though it is a serious subject it constantly refers to old Horror films and makes reference to the plot of them etc. It also spawned superb sequels, each on of them is great too and well worth a watch. You gotta do the sequels, they are brilliant in their own right, The Scream movies are like a who's who of female actors, some incredibly famous female in actors in all of them. the writing is just so clever. You gotta do the sequels!
The first three were my first gate way into horror and will always hold a palace in my stone cold heart. At a time when horror movies were at an all time low this franchise revitalized the genre in a tongue in cheek meta way while referencing the movies that preceded it and breaking the expectations you were expecting. ‘Not in my movie’ if there were any words to sum up Scream its those 4.

Stu: “she looked dead, still does”

Great movie reaction Jen you held it all pretty good and handled it pretty good and this movie had a lot of Easter eggs in the scene where the principal was looking outside into the hallway and she’s the janitor dressed up as Freddy Krueger. Well that was an Easter egg to the movie nightmare in Elm Street, and the janitor was actually West craven the director of Elm Street as well as the scream movies. Again, great reaction and happy early Halloween. 37:44
great reaction!!! now im going to go watch another of your reactions.... I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!!!
Lol you know you in for great reaction when the scare can make Jen drop and F-Bomb involuntarily lol
Jen you are friggin' adorable. I hope you see at least Scream 2. In my opinion it is the perfect horror sequel. This was the first horror series I saw where the bad guy really gets beat up over the course of the movie.
I loved this reaction made my night
You gotta see scary movie 1 now 😂 it's a complete parody of Scream. If you like raunchy, Austin powers-esque comedy then that's your mojo
Jen, at 30:46, you say that you have a feeling like there's something behind you. I would say, "or someone."
There is someone back there, beside the fireplace, but it's Superman, watching your back. You're good.
Love your reaction videos! You're incredibly awesome.
Saw this movie when I was 14 and it sparked my interest in filmmaking which I have been doing ever since. I have a lot to be thankful for when it comes to this movie....and the whole series and Wes Craven.
This might be the best reaction to this movie yet! I think Jen set a new record for "oh shit" "oh f**k" "oh frig" and "my God" said in one reaction! And yes Jen,you need a bigger chair!! And the pony tail scare!!!
I just watched this yesterday. I don’t do horror movies, but this one is a very rare exception
Best thing I've heard all day: "I wish I was watching Party Of Five right now!!!!" OMG LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL :)
