Scream as a landmark slasher film in the 90's. Kevin Williamson's fresh and self aware script paired with the masterful horror direction of legendary Wes Craven combined to create a movie that defined a generation. Being a slasher movie with loads of black comedy that recognizes and plays off of horror's classic tropes and cliche's while subverting all of them, Scream is endlessly rewatchable and entertaining. Time to dive into one of the most fun horror franchises and ask each other..."What's your favorite scary movie?"

Cody Leach, awesome opening man, funny too
For cool openings, Halloween is pretty good, but probably not as good as scream
Cody Leach the first Scream was entertaining
Cody Leach have you heard of the child's play reboot? or the tv series?
Cody Leach you do know Amino loves kicking people out of their servers
Fun fact: the part where Billy threw the phone & hit Stu wasn't scripted. Skeet hit Matthew with the phone by accident & Matthew's reaction was genuine. Wes Craven thought it was so funny he kept it in the movie.
Danica O lol I love that scene love Wes craven he was a true genius
You HIT ME WITH THE PHONE DICK!!!!!!
Same with the "my mom and dad are gonna be so mad at meeeeee"
Unscripted
Same thing with Dewey and gales kiss.
Scream might be the smartest horror movie thanks to Wes Craven R.I.P.
believe in the hype and Kevin Williamson
We can thank the man, Craven, for sticking to his guns and remaining adamant on keeping the film as is, gore and all, he was even the one who insisted on keeping the entire bathroom scene as is.
believe in the hype it is it’s also the most realistic...... it could happen
No! Its thanx to Kevin Williamson, dumbass. He wrote the shit, not Craven.
MrParkerman6 but Wes Craven directed it
I can’t believe you didn’t mention Rose McGowan’s performance as Tatum Riley even once in this review. She is one of the most likable characters in the entire franchise.
a true classic never goes out of style
Very underrated reference.
The scene where Billy and Stu were stabbing each other was so horrifying.
*"...hit me with the phone! Dick!"
Quote it correctly, dumbass!!!!!
Nah Sid! Don’t you blame the movies. Movies don’t create Psychos, movies make Psychos more creative!!!
Nah it was hilarious
Such a classic scene!! Its a mixture of being so disturbing yet so hilarious.
Only Craven could pull that off
I know most would find it funny but I do cringe every single time they stab each other.
I always loved Stu. When I met him, he said there supposed to be a flashback scene in one of the sequels but they couldn't line it up. He said he still got paid for it though. Matthew Lillard is the shit! Good review man
A little late here but scream 3 was supposed to be completely different. Stu was supposed to be still alive in prison and he was getting kids from prison to go after Sydney as ghostface. Unfortunately tho, Columbine just happened and they scrapped the script
Scream is definitely in my top 10 horror films of all time! Good review Cody!
Entertainment Wizard my #1 the most original and most realistic of them all!
@@gvidovaldmanis6377 no way
@@banana8949 why not?
It is in my top movies
oh btw, the garage door scene was probably more realistic in scary movie 😅😅😆
The actor Rose in the Scream film actually was able to fit through the dog door, so much so that they actually had to tape her to stay in the door.
Robert Smith Surprised she didn’t get stuck with those giant boobs of hers lol
Was a lot funnier for sure
Thomas Pappalardo her tits weren’t even that big
My favorite lines in SCREAM is at 18:10 , "why you hit me with THE PHONE , dick !!??" and " Did you really call the Police ?? ....oh man , my mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me *sobs * .". Best lines ever .
Scream deserves to be treated as a classic. Because technically... it is. :) It turned the genre on its head, quite literally, back in the 90's. And honestly, everything that came after needs to pay homage to it. Much like Halloween did for the 80's decade of slashing.
Absolutely
Literally, not technically, dumbass.
Without Black Christmas there would be no Halloween.
@@MrParkerman6 stop being a grammar nazi
Raise your hand who has been Ghostface at least once for Halloween 🙋🏾♀️
hanny08baby every year from like 9-10 years old till I was around 16 😂😂😂
Im going to be Ghostface this Halloween.
🖑
Riverpaw 323 same
I always dressed as him he's so dope
Drew was originally up for the role of Sydeny but turned it down because she knew the opening would be so iconic. So smart on her part to take the role of Casey instead.
Aww. You didn't mention Wes Craven was in the movie, as Fred the janitor. Him wearing the icon red/green sweater and fedora hat....love that scene.
It was the actual outfit from the first film. Wes had it in his closet.
Rip Wes.
You can tell it was the outfit from the first movie because the sweater didn't have stripes on the arms. In every other film, he has stripes on the sweater arms.
@@NeoConnor1Freddy Krueger right?
The reveal would have been better if they weren't so weird in the store with Randy. And Billy is constantly paranoid that Sydney thinks he's the killer, while stu is just creepy in general
There is actually a cut scene right before that where they act even more suspicious which is why it was cut.
But it’s unique because you think they’re too obvious, and that it could only be one of them.
@@empress9554 Agree absolutely. It was another meta aspect of Scream. It toyed with audience expectations. For anyone who has watched any mysteries, its a "rule" that the most obvious suspect is a red herring. Plus, if you didn't know there were two killers and were watching closely, you would conclude that neither of them could've been physically present at every murder scene.
The Stu character is just weird. He's like an actor in his mid 20s, playing a teenager acting like a 6 yr old. Why does he keep sticking his tongue out? Is it meant to show he has "attitude"? Its the most immature thing you'd expect to ever see.
@@lw3646 he’s supposed to be a weird guy, don’t get your point tbh
I'm not sure why, but I could really go for an ice cold refreshing Aquafina.
Scream is my all time favorite horror movie
@@gvidovaldmanis6377 2 is great and so is 4 but neither of them match the original
@@gvidovaldmanis6377 that is absolutely not true
@@gvidovaldmanis6377 to quote randy from your favorite scream "by definition alone their inferior films" there are a lot of good sequels but most of the times the originals are better. I can only think of a handful of sequels I prefer to the original
Scream is my favorite horror film ever. So witty, scary and funny and its pace doesn't let up either, thanks for the great characters and writing... and that opening. OMFG. I was so into it back in the day (4 times in cinemas) that most of my art projects at school were Scream focused. So much so that if there was a killer on campus, "..I'd be the prime suspect."
Well Scream is the movie that bought horror back to mainstream cinema. Prior to scream Horror movies were either monster or supernatural based and even if well made were restricted to a limited audience. Scream is the movie that expanded the audience of horror movie by making it like a normal movie. If you watch the movie its made like a normal movie. You have normal characters, there are no monsters, no visual effects to create scares, and no deliberate creation of eeriness or tension. Its not dark either visually or thematically. And yet it creates a splash because of well defined characters, and a screenplay that automatically creates genuine suspense and scares. And that is he strength of Scream. It builds up a narrative that creates scare. Say for example like Get Out or Truth or Dare or Child's Play. Most horror movies try to built horror around a character or an event and that is why they fail because the narrative is hollow. So the scares seem forced. In order to make good horror your narrative and plot must have the scares automatically which Scream has.
Me and my girlfriend met Matthew Lillard who played Stu, he gave her a huge hug right in front of me then signed my Ghostface mask
Shenloch Brachass *who played Shaggy
He would have taken your girl in a heartbeat bro 😂😂😂 best to just let him get the hug
It is one of the greatest openings. Completely classic.
Maybe I am just inferring this but I always thought that the person in the bathroom was just some jackass that was going around scaring people and was just lucky enough that Sid came in the bathroom. That was the only way I could make sense of it because Wes Craven wasn't that sloppy. His/her movement and the whole manner of that scene doesn't feel like Ghostface to me. Maybe I am just trying to justify a shitty choice hahaha.
CatrinaDollsAndSugarSkulls completely agree. he doesn’t even have a knife in his hand either, he just lunges at her and doesn’t even bother chasing her
But how would the prankster know that Sydney was about to come in the bathroom? Because he was already there... He called out Syd, remember?
marcio carvalho again, he didnt know, he got lucky. You can see through the cracks of the bathroom door stalls.
CatrinaDollsAndSugarSkulls So you're suggesting that the prankster wanted to scare any girl, but in that case, it happened to be Sydney? It could have been the cheerleaders...
marcio carvalho I'm saying people were scaring randoms all day long. Yes, its feasible that they were just going to scare whoever and because Sid walked in, he waited until she was alone to scare her because he was a d*ck. The guy sounds goofy when he goes for her. He goes "ooooo". I didn't get that scary Ghostface vibe from him.
“Surprise Sidney” is my favorite line from this movie
Phone rings. Its Ghostface. Ya hang up. The phone rings again. Ya don't answer. It keeps ringing. Ya don't know where the phone line is hooked up to. Your thinking...
"Where's Jason Voorhees when ya need him?"
Lol... Love the intro! I've always wondered what would of happened if poor Drew Barrymore would of gotten it right!
Monte Marino she still would’ve had to die . They explain to Sydney that the game is if you get it wrong you die .. of you get it right you die
Joseph Sais I know... Still would of been funny if she got them right. Lol
I think Screams the most rewatchable horror movie. I like that Ghost Face moves like an actual person not some slow lurking killer.
Scream is an absolute classic! One of my favorites for sure! The first 10 minutes of that film is soooo good.
Agreed on the opening
Not even gonna lie that intro made me laugh 😂😂
The ending where billy and stu stab each other was very good, the insanity in Stu where he laughs and yells is just so good. The acting between the two men was very good, very convincing. No one else could’ve played the killers better.
Most iconic horror movie openings:
1. Psycho
2. Scream
JaySavageTV I'd agree with this but add Halloween between them
Psycho's opening isn't even that remeberable, dumbass!
If you’re referring to the shower scene in Psycho, that’s not the opening. Janet Lee’s character isn’t killed until a half hour, or so, into the movie.
@@MrParkerman6 calm yo bitch ass down
I wouldn’t say psycho. That shower scene is more at the halfway point
Weird that a lot of a lot of people seem to consider this horror comedy when this is one of the few major slashers to genuinely creep me out
Maybe theyre confusing it with the forth one?
I think it's mostly that Scream uses dark humor in a way that's integral to its tone and style, so people assume that it makes it comedy or parody of some sorts
Harvey Weinstein got the sensors to rate it R instead of Nc-17 by telling the mpwhatever to view it as a comedy and when they rewatch ed it with that mindset the violence didn't bother them as much, so yes, it is horror-comedy.
It's creepy because it can really happen he's just a smart serial killer
It’s definitely more horror than comedy, especially compared to it’s sequels
For some reason I always assumed that the bathroom scene had a copycat Ghostface. I assumed that because he doesn't have a knife.
The twist of the killers identity works for me because of the red herring of Billy getting arrested, and being let go.
Yeah I always figured it was one running down the hall in the scene right before that. And in the scene after the bathroom scene I believe is the scene where principal Hembry is yell at those boys I figured it was one of them just messing with her cuz it would have been all over the news that Sidney was attacked the night before so I would say it was a stupid kid that thought it would be funny.
Scream is in my top 3 favorite horror movies of all time
Scream also paid perfect homage to John carpenter's HALLOWEEN Casey Becker's Dad said "go to the Mackenzie's house" then ghostface reference to Myers "the guy with the white mask stalks babysitters " loved it
New Nightmare was about the people who make the movies and Scream was made for the people who watch them. Great review! Looking forward to the rest of this review series.
I love and think that shot of Stu reaching towards Sydney when she is suspecting him and Dewy as the killer in the foyer of the house , that has to be one of the coolest and slickest shots in that franchise or any franchise's history .
Which scenes are you talking about?
*Randy, dumbass. She never suspected Dewey.
@@INTJ91 he's referring to the scene with Stu and Randy at the front door after she's attacked in the car
@@mrskinszszs Ah I know which one you mean. Other person said Stu and Dewey when I think they meant Stu and Randy.
@@INTJ91 yeah he messed up lol
Ah such a great kickass film. and hey Carpenters The Thing is my favorite horror film too. Damn theres 13 Puppet Master films? thats a lot of garbage.
"So I know who I'm watching"
that line gave me chills
I think gale and Dewey actually make total sense considering she was only using him throughout the movie until the very end. After all they went through together, trauma bonding is an obvious explanation for them pursuing a romantic relationship.
Scream on the top 5 best slashers ever
"There are certain rules one must abide in order to sucuessfully survive a horror movie, rule number one, you can never have sex.
Rule number two, you can never drink or do drugs. It's the sin factor. An extension of number one.
And number three, never, ever, under any circumstances say "I'll be right back." Because you won't be back."
My favorite quote in the Movie.
I remember watching this in theaters and the crowd was going wild. I loved it. The scream documentary is really cool and the story of how it came about is very interesting. Glad you finally got to this one Cody. Awesome review.
Scream opening is so dope
The vibe I got from the scene where Stu describes how to gut someone was that he enjoyed what he and Billy did to Casey and Steve a bit too much which is why he was describing gutting in great detail and Billy's "Hey it's called tact you fuck rag" was his way of saying "Shut up man before they realise it's us."
Scream is right with Halloween for being my favorite horror movie of all time. I enjoy everything about it, the quips, the self awareness, and most importantly the realism. I enjoy that the killer isnt some supernatural unkillable figure.
@@gvidovaldmanis6377 not true original usually better
If Halloween Resurrection didn’t exist, Laurie would without a doubt be the best final girl simply because of the way her character develops throughout 1, 2 and H20. She goes from someone who can defend herself pretty well but is really vulnerable and has to run, to someone who has to sneak around the hospital (albeit probably without knowing what was going on for a time) to someone who decided she was done running and kicks Michael’s ass to the point of slapstick, including killing Michael single handedly
Literally my favorite horror channel. You have good points, great opinions, and you're not boring to watch. Such a bad ass youtuber
And yet David Arquette and Courtney Cox got married cuz of this movie
You have a great voice for reviews. I have skipped on many a reviewer mostly because the voice sounds so monotone and unenjoyable
Keep up the great work
Thank you
the intro made me lmaoo. keep up the great work cody love the vids!
Scream is a really good horror movie
Scream 1,2,3 were the movies I watched multiple times, there was a store that sold Scream dvd (1,2,3) in one set, lucky me, I got it. Rest in peace, Mr. Wes Craven.
Yeah, they were very obvious. I believe that contributed to shock of the reveal.
@ Phoenix....that is an excellent point. Usually, those creepy characters are used to throw the audience off as being too obvious. The fact that it actually turned out to be the both of them added to the shock for me.
Halloween, Hellraiser, Scream and Final Destination. What does all these franchises have in common? All were Miramax/Dimension/Weinstein Company distributed movies.
1) Nice Wayne's World reference
2) I love how Scream states "The Rules"... and how they broke them
Scream is what started my love of horror movies! I was in elementary school when I watched it first, and I remember it took me a couple tries to make it through the opening scene. Being my first horror movie, I was terrified.
I'm more of a recent subscriber and love your stuff and since day one of discovering you I was like "okay now where is scream!" I'm excited
The ghost face in the school bathroom that attacked Sydney wasn't Billy or Stu. It was a prankster apparently
Whoo hoo! I've been waiting for this review for a long time! Thanks Cody! 👍
It's bizarre that Scream is now "old school". More time has elapsed between Scream and now, than Scream and the 1978 Halloween. Crazy. Same thing with Dazed and Confused.
There are a lot of similarities between Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer (both, I think written by Kevin Williamson). Big difference is the Final Girl. Love how Sydney faces the killer while Julie just runs and is lucky to survive.
The opening kills _are_ unique, if only in their execution (yeah, intended).
3:50-Kevin Williamson did Dawsons Creek. I watched Dawsons Creek AFTER i saw Scream, so the Halloween episode reminded me a lot of Scream, before i realized the same guy did both the tv show and movie.
The movie that got me into horror in the first place and still one of my absolute favourites
I'm nine years old and I love your channel I'm OBSESSED with horror movies finally someone I can watch
Great great review! Literally took the words out of my mouth, even with the Halloween costume part. I’ll never forget when i had the bleeding Ghostface mask back in the day, i thought i was the coolest kid in school. Although there are 1-2 things i can disagree with the overall review was a 10/10. I look forward to the sequel reviews and more livestreams cause they’re great!
Hi! First off, I love your channel! It came across in my feed, and I’m glad it did!
I have been a horror fan since birth! I was watching/reading horror way before it was age “appropriate” for me to be doing so….. and I turned out fine. Kind of. Lol!
Anyway, I saw Scream at the theater when I was in HS. It was fantastic! About the bathroom scene: it was cool hearing your perspective, because up until now I always assumed the Ghost Face in the bathroom was just another student. You know how they showed a lot of them being jerks at school, in costumes, trying to scare Sydney….. so I just assumed that Ghost Face was a student.
Now, I’m going to need to re-watch the scene.
Love your channel!
These movies are the first horror movies I saw when I was 14. They've been my favorite ever since.
I really enjoyed this video :)
That intro was priceless! 😂
I watched this movie for the first time a week or so ago, and the moment Billy and Stu showed up I said "it's one of them." They tried to make you think it was the principal, and I said, "no, that's dumb." They tried to make you think it was Jamie Kennedy, and I said, "no, that's dumb." Once ghostface was in the school, I was like, "ok, it's definitely one or both of them, because the killer has to have easy access to the school, and who better than a student?" When the reveal happened, I said "well, duh. You couldn't have telegraphed it more if you had tried."
Kevin never tried to make it SEEM like it was Randy.
@@MrParkerman6 never really pushed it but technically there is a few parts, when he says it in the Movie store and towards the end when him and Stu are outside trying to convince Sidney
Finally the scream reviews!
This movie is a classic. I liked it a lot and now it’s one of my favorite horror films. Also, love the intro!
This franchise got me into the horror genre. I was afraid of watching the major horror franchises but this film being so self aware helped ease me in.
I can always come to your channel and know I am going to have a good laugh with your humor 🤣 because the beginning is chefs kiss 🤌🏼💀💀
Great intro and awesome review! Well done Cody. I love this movie and it is without question my favorite film in the franchise. I thought Scream 2 was alright. Scream 3 and 4 I did not care for. Looking forward to hearing your reviews for the other films in the franchise.
The scene depicted on the poster, with Drew Barrymore covering her mouth, never actually happens in the movie.
During production, Ghostface's signature black robe was going to be white, to make him appear even more like a ghost. This was changed in fear of people comparing the costume to those that the Ku Klux Klan wear.
The party scene near the end of the film runs forty-two minutes long. It was shot over the course of twenty-one days from the time the sun set to the time it rose. After it wrapped, the crew had t-shirts made that read "I SURVIVED SCENE 118" (which was the name of the scene during shooting). The cast and crew jokingly called it "The longest night in horror history."
I'm late to the party on this but someone proposed the idea that the Ghostface in the bathroom is neither Billy or Stu. It was established earlier that people are running around with the costume in school, plus the Ghostface in the bathroom doesn't have a knife.
Great intro. Glad I found this channel
Just finished watching Scream 1996 for my 2ND TIME yesterday! Amazing skit in the beginning by the way😂
I was 16 and was so thrilled the horror genre was back. Unfortunately I didn't see it in theaters and when it came out on tape it took a good month before I could get it from Blockbuster!
love the intro, have to watch the rest now
Loved the review and I agree almost across the board, except that Dewey is my favorite character of the series. I think his flirtations with Gale in various scenes work pretty well, particularly their first encounter. I’d also disagree with your characterization of him. While he does have that childish competitive dynamic with his sister, he does seem to demonstrate his adulthood with his demeanor and bravery. I think the character is kind of the “purest of spirit” in the series, and the on-again off-again relationship with Gale works better to fulfill the romantic sub plots of each movie than just relying on the typically flat chemistry between Sidney and [insert boyfriend character].
Man I have to say u really Kno alot about movies and u give some of the best reviews! Keep up the good work!
Great review Cody, agree with your negatives and will add another: the scene in the supermarket like why tf was Stu or Billy following Sid around in the costume in broad daylight? Always bothered me 😅
My (probably wrong) take on that part was that it wasn't actually real, and that it was just for the audience to see to spook us out and reinforce the idea that Ghostface is always watching. Either that or it was just some prankster. I highly doubt Billy or Stu would be that careless.
Yeah, and the scene where it zooms in on some woods in the background, and Ghostface is just walking by, as if he was eavesdropping or something, but doesn’t actually do anything. That was a bit odd.
Surprise Sidney. This video should be the best video in the world. I love Scream and Cody so much. RIP Wes Craven. I wish I could have meet him.
Man that intro was hilarious and awesome!!!
i thought it was Randy and Dewie. love the reveal, expecially with the slight of hand at the end
I can definitely relate to your story in the beginning. It reminds me of when The Force Awakens came out and suddenly everyone I knew was a Star Wars fan even if they weren't before, lol.
The first time I watch Scream I thought Randy was the killer and ya he is one of my favorite characters because he is like us. God bless Randy hope to meet him some day.
Lol Cody how you felt with scream when you were young is like exactly how I feel with the new IT, I'm 13 and everybody thinks that they know horror movies because they watch IT and it pissed me off lol. Just kinda made me laugh how you said that at the start because that's literally me exactly, I've been watching horror movies since I was 4 too lol.
I wasn't a fan when iin my younger years but it really did grow on me to the point where it's pretty much become my favorite horror series with the 1st & 4th being my faves. Looking forward to watching the 6th tonight.
I loved this movie so much when I was little haha. It was one of my favorite movies & it still is to this day. 🖤
Great Review, I remember renting this on vhs still brings back memories!
Good review Cody. I would say due to the suspense camera work, sounds and score, the opening of Halloween is better for me. I think you have a great point it is arguable. Sydney is great.
The tv show is surprisingly good. Not for everyone but it adds a bit of life to the franchise after Scream 4.
Love the review! This is my favorite horror film of all time! I’ve probably gone back to this film and franchise more often then any horror film.
That garage scene is was iconic lol yea as an adult I realized it’s not possible but the scene with Rose McGowen that lead up to the kill itself was amazing. Man i can name too many kills that aren’t possible or not well grounded in other horror movies for that to be a personal con for me. The garage door scene is just so damn creative to count out. Even with you arguing why didn’t you just push the button for it to go up and tuck and roll like she did anyway to get to the cat hole lol Like you said earlier tho, adrenaline sometimes makes our brains not work too well. All she saw was a way out of that room. It could have been a mouse hole and she wouldn’t have tried to fit through it.
It's so funny to see this I've been watching horror movies for most of my life roughly around 4 or 5 and people always thought I was fucked up or my parents didn't care or something so it's good to hear I'm not the only one
THE THING IS MY FAVORITE AS WELL
Is it bad that the opening scene in this movie still scares the shit out of me.
No it’s genuinely scary
The only killer reveal in the franchise that surprised me was in the fourth. I definitely agree while I like the who done it formula and think the motives are strong throughout the franchise (except 3) it's really obvious who the killer's are especially in the second movie.
Devon Di Marco Agreed. I was completely dumbfounded by the Jill reveal (even though in subsequent views that scene in the classroom where she is the only one not checking her phone is a dead giveaway)
Scream 4 may have had the most surprising reveals but the killers themselves were lame. I agree Scream 2 reveals were the most obvious and therefore the most lame. I was disappointed with that because I love Timothy Olyphant and wish we got to spend more time with him in 2
The opening is extremely good, the line "because I want to know who I'm looking at" is terrifying, and you're like oh shit!! I'm not a huge fan of this franchise though, part of the problem for me is the Scary Movie films have somehow entangled themselves in my memory of the Scream films, so I always just see them as kinda goofy with a clumsy killer, which is a shame. Great review as always!
That is so true, perfectly said. The Scary Movie spoofs make it seem a little more corny than it did before. A little annoying that they did that but still one of the greatest horror movies of all time
