The opening scene was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments. When audiences saw that scene, they thought that Drew Barrymore was going to be the hero, but they were in for a shocking surprise.
Yeah she was initially cast as the star but a few weeks into production, it was her idea to play the girl who gets killed right away. Wes Craven almost left the movie because it created a huge mess. Everyone thought the movie's only hope to be successful was her. It was still marketed as her being the star so yeah audiences were shocked when she gets killed within the first 10 minutes
Drew having the idea to have herself killed off in the first scene made for one of the best idea's in movie history. You gotta give her the credit she deserves. It also kind of gave her career a second boost .
@@chndlr18 you're probably one of those people that thought the new Scream was actually good . Thanks for the comment , my grandfather use to call me sport when he was still alive about 15 years ago . Holy crap you must be at least 20 years older than me .
@@woodworkingandepoxy643 Never heard of it… lol. Of course, it’s his classic for sure. The whole concept about being gravely unsafe from Freddy Krueger in your sleep is brilliant. That being said, from start to finish, and holding up.. Scream is his best overall work in my opinion. The end of ANoES is messed up because of the director and producer feud over it, it doesn’t make sense. Also, the acting and some of the effects are not very good. Though the bath tub scene and Tina Kill is still amazing. Anyhow, just my opinion.
Drew Berry more had a short apprearance yet it was her comeback. Love this franchise. Rest in peace Wes Craven. You are one of the best horror directors of our generation
This movie CLIMBED at the box office. Very rare. Started off small and as word of mouth spread kept doing better every weekend basically. Also tons of ppl bought this new tech called "caller ID" after this movie lol.
Definitely a fun and interesting horror film. Horror had been on the outs since 1989 and "Scream" brought it back and also made it cool to be a horror movie fan. Before then I think we were just considered a bunch of weirdos.
I couldn't imagine anybody playing Sydney other then neve campbell or anybody else playing dewy other than David archet I probably spelt that wrong but I'm welcome to anybody that wants to tell me how to spell it
@@aaroncoats1555 Rose played Tatum, neve's best friend, and I just didn't feel much chemistry between them and I think it was Rose's fault. She also didn't have much chemistry with her boyfriend Stu, and again I think that was Rose's subpar acting
@@jro3213 Rose was raped by Harvey Weinstein around that time too, so that probably affected her acting ability. Then when she spoke out nobody believed her and she was blacklisted. So yeah, not really her fault her head wasn't in it
There are some really interesting things about Rose McGowans involvement in the movie. She was paid half of what the rest of the cast got due to her overzealous lawyer asking for too much. As a result she was punished with less. Regardless she went all in with her role as Tatum. She wanted her character to be memorable and made several alterations to her character on her own. She even went out and bought her own wardrobe for her character as she didn’t feel that what costume design was giving her fit the character. She also made alterations to her bedroom set to make it more authentic to her role. Her motto was to make every moment count, so that when she was eventually killed off the movie would feel less fun without her. Rose has also claimed that Craven created the best filmmaking experience of her career.
This movie and part 2 were huge in my high school. I remember kids wearing the Ghostface masks to football games. Randy and Stu were my favorite characters.
I saw this opening night and I distinctly remember being taken aback by how quickly the movie started! Like 2 credits and then it was Drew getting gutted like a fish.
I grew up in Santa Rosa and Petaluma. I remember seeing Scream being made. It was a big deal. Petaluma Ca also had famous movies made there. American Graffiti, Cujo, Basic Instinct, Peggy Sue Got Married, Howard The Duck and many more and about 20 miles away in the town of Bodega, The Birds. It's a pretty famous area all the way around. It was a great place to grow up.
It's interesting that here Matthew Lillard as Stu is a villain who gets unmasked, while as Shaggy he's shown as a good guy who's part of a team that solves crimes by tearing off the masks of perps.
Something that always gets me with Scream and some other movies/TV shows is when they pop Jiffy Pop. They show the bag inflating with popcorn while it just sits on the stove, but whenever I make Jiffy Pop, my arm is about to fall off afterwards from having to constantly shake it to make it pop.
Good for you it's not my favorite because of my childhood trauma when a relative who babysat me as a child scared me to no end twice with the Ghostface mask and costume. I respect your opinion but that's how I personally feel about it
10:05, Matthew Lillard would also end up playing Norville "Shaggy" Rogers in the Live-Action Scooby-Doo movie 6 Years Later and in the sequel 2 Years Later!!
I can’t watch it anymore without thinking of Scary Movie. I mix the two movies up all the time in my memory because Scary Movie was so good at making fun of Scream and other horror movies. Both were good movies.
I live in Santa Rosa and its been mapped out a lot of the locations where Scream was filmed. The video store is now a Burger King. I drive by it often. Love your videos, always entertaining.
I remember seeing Scream right before I went to see Bevis & Butthead Do America. And the whole time I was watching B&BH all I could do was think about poor Drew. Such an epic way to start a movie.
this movie is a staple of my life and of slasher genre. they did a good job paying homage to the OG films and made it a real film itself.. not a joke necessarily. i was ghostface for like 5 halloweens in a row with the Knife where blade goes in, and eventually they came out with the mask that pumps blood
I was 10years old when that movie came out, i remember very well on Halloween majority of kids and teenagers dressed up as Ghostface lol. That’s how popular that movie turned out. In my neighborhood you saw Ghostface everywhere . Then the terrible Sequels😑, part 2 was alright
Surprisngly, my parents took my sister I and to see Scream as a family outing, after watching I was terrified to stay home alone 😱. Wes Craven accomplished his goal.
@@MasseurDavis Woah I'd of been terrified even though my parents were there lol super cool of them to take you though! My mothers a strong catholic and wouldn't let me and my brother watch anything above a pg not even The Monster Squad ffs but my dad was awesome when she was at work he let me watch Lost Boys, American Werewolf in London and Jaws, I miss him tbh. I'm an 80s baby too definitely the best decade 👍
Fun fact: Henry Winkler also potrayed Mr Rock in CBBC's Hank Zipser. Mr Rock was like a mentor to him giving him advice when everyone else is giving him a hard time. you need to check out Hank Zipser because the the overall message is something amazing to hear.
Scream is the only horror movie that managed to scare me in real life. I lived in an 3 story apartment building that is attached to several similar buildings. My bedroom was in the attic so it had a window to the roof. A few days after I saw Scream, I was studying into the night in my room with no curtains. I feel something move and I looked into the window and I saw eyes looking at me. I was so scared. It turned out that a neighbour just got a new cat and it liked to climb out the window and into the roof. In 25 years in that house, that was the only cat that did that and it's first time peeking through my window had to be at 2 am after I watched a horror movie...
@@SumDumGy No it doesn't idiot. Is your hero Neil Degrass Tyson or something because that's how you're acting. The point is the entire incident was heightened because of her previous interaction with the movie resulting in a mundane experience turning into a terrifying experience. Without the movie she wouldn't have been on alert and come to the conclusion "someone's outside" before seeing the cat
@@TheSYPHERIA Except you don’t know that. As she clearly stated, that had never happened to her before. It’s a first time experience occurring days after seeing a movie for the first time. There’s no bearing or connective thread between the two experiences whatsoever in which to draw a cause and effect chain of events. But, hey, I wouldn’t expect someone to understand that who comes to a discussion with an insult as a lead-in. Thank you for your useless contribution though.
@@omegarugal9283 yeah only just though. My mam told me about an hour ago. Quite shocked. "His name is Robert Paulson. His name is Robert Paulson. His name is Robert Paulson".....
I actually had that mask a few years before Scream ever came out. I wore it the last year that I went trick or treating as a kid. I was a high school freshman when Scream came out, and I remember getting a kick out of seeing the killer because I had the same mask.
Never noticed until now that I have the same knife as Ghostface. Got it in 1979 as an 8th grade graduation present. I'm sure the on screen knife was a prop, but I have the knife it was obviously modeled from.
I was in Gainesville, FL during the 1990 murders, and although I was only 5 years old and don't remember much of anything, there are still remnants of it around here including several memorials. My parents remember it well enough however. They said it was quite a terrifying ordeal to go through. They reinforced our sliding glass door as did many residents since that seemed to be the signature entry point for Rolling. I didn't learn that the murders were an inspiration for Scream until recently. Crazy world we live in.
I watched it with our teen kids and I really enjoyed it. A lot went over their heads so we ended up watching Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street shortly thereafter. Neve Campbell was amazing, no one expected it because of her TV background. Then she hit us with The Craft and Wild Things, that woman can act. Her pulling out her own teeth with pliers still makes me shudder, she sold that scene.
Saw Scream on opening night and I told everyone around me after the film that THIS MOVIE just saved the genre. Fun fact: Those original pre Scream Funtastic Faces masks sell for $500-3500 now! WOW!
thank you for your content.. I really enjoy your videos and facts.... learned a few things from all your videos.. some I knew.. but quite a bit.. I didn't.. Thank you Minty!!!
Teaching Mrs. Tingle and especially The Craft were brilliant movies on their own. Scream is one of those rare movies that accomplishes groundbreaking goals yet everyone agrees it's awesome. BTW, while Psycho was the original 'kill the lead up front', a lot of older moviegoers may have also remembered Dressed to Kill from 1980 that killed off Angie Dickinson early on. This was also considered shocking for the time - how could a huge star not be in the whole movie?
I never got the hype of Molly. The only horror she's done was The Stand and they usually use lesser known actors in horror. Everyone in the original Scream were mostly unknown or new with a few exceptions.
Some of the Best Horror Movies are low budget. Minty your reviews are my favorite you're a mixture of Siskel and Ebert all in 1. Keep up the great work, us Movie Buffs appreciate you.
Such a revolutionizing way of doing a horror movie. Was so much fun to watch the first time. I remember the trailers and being like "that is going to be epic!!"
Someone on TH-cam has made videos detailing which killer has the costume on when Ghost face is on screen. There are actual visual and sometime audio cues letting the audience know if it's Billy or Stu under the mask. They even made a breakdown of what happened off screen during Drew's attack then murder.
I had the honor of meeting Tatum's actress Rose McGowan months ago at a convention in New Orleans she also told me a little detail about the white #10 football jersey themed crop-top Tatum wore before the party scene, Rose told me that Tatum played on the Woodsboro High School football team, earlier before Sidney got her first Ghostface attack when she was talking to Tatum about staying at her place for a week, Tatum said she's got practice, Rose told me that it was football practice They couldn't say that Tatum was on the football team because even though schools were letting girls join football teams since the late 80's, TV shows, movies, and books couldn't show or say a female character played on the team cuz it was still considered taboo or socially non-traditional at the time
Living north of Santa Rosa, its really nostalgic to watch this as it reminds of the 90’s when seeing all the locations and items from up here, like beer from Mendocino Brewing Company, locations of Healdsburg and Santa Rosa.
One Of My Favorite Horror Movies Of All Time & This Movie Ranked At #13 In The 100 Scariest Movie Moments On Bravo, Keep It Up Minty & You Have A Great Weekend
Another great video, Ever thought about doing the guyver films? dark hero was more true to the original manga, but both films have a big cult following
Hey Minty, can you do a review on the 1995 Sci-Fi movie "Screamers" starring Peter Weller? It's such a good underrated movie. They made a few sequels to it that were alright.
Wes Craven, was ingenious, he revolutionized horror multiple times, first with Elm Street, and Scream. Thank You Wes Craven for Decades of icon characters, rest well. Thanks to Kevin Williamson for taking the time to write a masterpiece. Craven owned the 80's and 90's.
When the movie came out I was 14yrs old and watched it in the theater. There was a person dressed in that Scream costume sitting in the theater. When the character was getting beat up in the movie the crowd cheered which caused the person in the mask would turn around and look back towards the audience. It was fun at the time, but now looking back who knows why that person decided to dress up. This is one of my favorite scary movie for sure.
Both of the films of Wes Craven’s that revitalized the horror genre were low budget films. So was Halloween (1978). A lot of great horror films are. There’s something about low budget filming that works for horror films.
Mark. I suggest you do videos about Cyborg (1989). Mannaja (1977). Wizards (1977). Nemesis (1992). The Hills Have Eyes (1977). Strings (2004). Battlestar Galactica (1978). Xena: Warrior Princess (1995). Game of Thrones (2011). Legend of the Seeker (2008) and The A-Team (1982) (Which you could feature my spoof The Y-Team which you was BA Baracus).
Even knowing Drew Barrymore was in the film, I somehow managed to watch the entire thing without realizing I saw her in it. It wasn’t until the second viewing that I recognized her.
Thank ya Mint for putting in my head the voice of the Cryptkeeper at 2:34 when im thinking "he wanted to be a screenwriter..and he became a Scream writer! Heeehehehehehahahahaaaaa!!" 😂😂
The 90's was the last golden age for film making where I remember how popular this movie was when there was video rental stores everywhere and merchandise popping everywhere for the movie where I even saw the fake pumping blood Ghostface masks at dollar stores. Fun times not having annoying restrictions like we have now.

I didn't even realize Wes Craven was the janitor. That's great!

Kids today don't remember the first one. They weren't born yet!!!😂 the sequels nowadays are HORRIBLE. the killers are short dumb kids. Makes no sense

I couldn't imagine anybody playing Sydney other then neve campbell or anybody else playing dewy other than David archet I probably spelt that wrong but I'm welcome to anybody that wants to tell me how to spell it

Wished Minty would have much more subscribers. His videos are well put together. My favorite behind the scene history movie buff on TH-cam.
Ghostface' mask is so iconic it is almost a meme by itself.
Scream is one of our favorite movies. This is a must watch at Halloween or any time actually. Thanks Minty, excellent as always!!
What's your favorite Wes Craven films?
Mine are, People under the stairs, A Nightmare on elm Street, and Scream.
Scream, a Nightmare on Elm Street and Shocker. I can't just give you one favorite. He is a master of comic horror

she also told me a little detail about the white #10 football jersey themed crop-top Tatum wore before the party scene, Rose told me that Tatum played on the Woodsboro High School football team, earlier before Sidney got her first Ghostface attack when she was talking to Tatum about staying at her place for a week, Tatum said she's got practice, Rose told me that it was football practice
They couldn't say that Tatum was on the football team because even though schools were letting girls join football teams since the late 80's, TV shows, movies, and books couldn't show or say a female character played on the team cuz it was still considered taboo or socially non-traditional at the time
Living north of Santa Rosa, its really nostalgic to watch this as it reminds of the 90’s when seeing all the locations and items from up here, like beer from Mendocino Brewing Company, locations of Healdsburg and Santa Rosa.
One Of My Favorite Horror Movies Of All Time & This Movie Ranked At #13 In The 100 Scariest Movie Moments On Bravo, Keep It Up Minty & You Have A Great Weekend
Another great video, Ever thought about doing the guyver films? dark hero was more true to the original manga, but both films have a big cult following
Hey Minty, can you do a review on the 1995 Sci-Fi movie "Screamers" starring Peter Weller? It's such a good underrated movie. They made a few sequels to it that were alright.
Love the Scream movies! Can’t wait for the 2022 one coming out soon!
Wes Craven, was ingenious, he revolutionized horror multiple times, first with Elm Street, and Scream. Thank You Wes Craven for Decades of icon characters, rest well. Thanks to Kevin Williamson for taking the time to write a masterpiece. Craven owned the 80's and 90's.
First with (The last house on the left).
@@the_black_phone9001 Those who produced the remake, I give them the most respect out of all horror remakes, it was also flawless.
@@MasseurDavis wasn't flawless,but alot better then 3,
RIP Wes Craven!
[1939 - 2015]
When the movie came out I was 14yrs old and watched it in the theater. There was a person dressed in that Scream costume sitting in the theater. When the character was getting beat up in the movie the crowd cheered which caused the person in the mask would turn around and look back towards the audience. It was fun at the time, but now looking back who knows why that person decided to dress up. This is one of my favorite scary movie for sure.
One of the best 10 Things You Didn't Know... loved it! Thanks Minty!!
I had that mask when was a youngster long before this movie was released. Mine glowed in the dark😱🖖
Both of the films of Wes Craven’s that revitalized the horror genre were low budget films. So was Halloween (1978). A lot of great horror films are. There’s something about low budget filming that works for horror films.
Wes Craven made some of the greatest horror movies of all time. RIP.
Neve Campbell was chosen because of the scream she made in The Craft (the needle part)
Epic. The 90s had some true gems.
Mark. I suggest you do videos about Cyborg (1989). Mannaja (1977). Wizards (1977). Nemesis (1992). The Hills Have Eyes (1977). Strings (2004). Battlestar Galactica (1978). Xena: Warrior Princess (1995). Game of Thrones (2011). Legend of the Seeker (2008) and The A-Team (1982) (Which you could feature my spoof The Y-Team which you was BA Baracus).
Even knowing Drew Barrymore was in the film, I somehow managed to watch the entire thing without realizing I saw her in it. It wasn’t until the second viewing that I recognized her.
Love your horror movie lists Minty
What's your order best to worst? Mine 1,4,2,5,3👻🔪😉
It is a Scream!
Another fun fact: much of the exterior scenes were filmed in Healdsburg, CA. My hometown! I was in high school when it was being filmed.
Thank ya Mint for putting in my head the voice of the Cryptkeeper at 2:34 when im thinking "he wanted to be a screenwriter..and he became a Scream writer! Heeehehehehehahahahaaaaa!!" 😂😂
Still gotta see Scream 4 and 5.
Lol, that moment about Highlander 2 was great Minty.
Minty, thank you for using the proper terminology “Casting Director”. Genuinely appreciate it.
My 10yr watched S1 with me over Halloween (on network tv, so some things were toned down/cut), and he really liked it!
Its rumored that in the original script, officer Dewey was the killer, something we did watch in scary Movie!!!!
Wrong lol David was originally gonna play Billy Loomis, he chose Dewey instead. Billy Loomis was always the killer.
I just recently watched the first three after not having seen them in years. They're a lot of fun.
Scream is a classic after 25 years. You don't have to say his name, just show his face and you know. If only everybody in Hollywood knew what he did.
That was a great start.. With Ghost Face shooting himself to avoid watching Highlander 2.. Thank you for the laugh
Scream borrowed a lot of plot elements from Halloween, Prom Night, My Bloody Valentine, Terror Train, and When A Stranger Calls.
The 90's was the last golden age for film making where I remember how popular this movie was when there was video rental stores everywhere and merchandise popping everywhere for the movie where I even saw the fake pumping blood Ghostface masks at dollar stores.
Fun times not having annoying restrictions like we have now.
I agree with you. I hardly watch any of today’s films. It depends really. I’m all for 80’s/90’s cinema.
@@Ishitonyou666 The only movie I plan on buying this year is Ghostbusters Afterlife which shows how much Hollywood cares about my interest and money.🙄
@@night-x6793 same!
What up Minty!!
Love how this had info that others overlook. And now. I'll be right back.
Rose McGowen was so fine back then. I still need to see the new one.
Minty works hard!
