SCREAM franchise is a modern slasher that is sorta like self-aware with the tropes but they are not necessarily comedy. I won't recommend the SCARY MOVIE franchise yet - those are straight-up comedy parodies. I think a lot of fans mostly agree that SCREAM 2 is the best from the trilogy.
This is my favorite out of the franchise because of the ending with 2 killers, and with everyone's a suspect moments, and I kinda feel like an idiot detective who got the wrong guy 😂
It’s gonna be irrelevant with this film but I have to ask that are you gonna watch avatar Korra cause I’m still waiting for the sequel of the last air bender 🥲
You want to talk perfect casting? Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich were PERFECT! Ulrich was sleazy and creepy and the OBVIOUS choice for the killer, which makes the fake twist of his "murder" so shocking and sends you on a spiral questioning everything you thought you knew. And then Lillard just NAILS the insanity of Stu in the final act, managing to be both scary and absurdly funny, especially with the line, "My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!"
Agree. Their performance always made me want to see like a prequel with just them doing the planning and whatnot. Such a bummer that they and Tatum had to go so early in the series.
“You f-king hit me with the phone, dick!!” literally always gets me 😂 the whole cast is excellent, but Lillard really did toe that perfect line between insane and hilarious.
@@karthrukon2692 Scream has a really interesting tone. Would imagine it's difficult to pull off for actors and director. Not many have done it in quite the same way, or as successfully. Some other later 90's movies walked that line between genres too. Like American Beauty and Meet Joe Black. Not horror obviously but similarly odd.
Oh my god, I love this series so so much and honestly I wonder if they threw in that thing about Jamie Kennedy's character being in love with Jamie Lee Curtis because his name is Jamie for that whole he's behind you thing or whether that just happened to line up that way
Btw having Drew Barrymore dying so quickly and being so famous was an homage to Janet Leigh dying so quickly in Psycho. Leigh was super famous as well.
Thank you for commenting on Psycho. It took Janet Leigh longer than 10 minutes to die. She was a famous actress in the 60's and it was a big twist and thing that nobody was expecting.
Are you sure? I recall an interview that said that Drew was cast as the protagonist and it was Drew who suggested to Wes Craven to have her killed as none would suspect that.
@@LOTRFAN33 I watched a documentary years ago on the history of slasher horror movies and Wes Craven was interviewed. He said having the famous actresses killed in the beginning was an homage to Psycho. I can’t remember the name of the documentary but I’m sure it’s floating around on YT somewhere.
Fun Fact. When Skeet through the phone, he hit Mathew by accident and Mathew just went with it. His line, "You hit me with the phone, you dick!", was improvised.
It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen this movie, the opening always gives me chills. The dialogue is so good. “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?” So creepy
@integrity101 My favorite is one of the Ghostfaces from 6, he's very skilled and brutal and doesn't even care to catch victims one by one he just busts into a full room or store and starts killing
Fun Fact: Stockard Channing as Rizzo in Grease was the oldest actor to ever play a high school student in a studio movie. She was 34. Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard were both 26 at the time of filming.
Fun fact: Neve Campbell really did stab Skeet Ulrich with the umbrella and what's worse is that it was an old scar from a childhood surgery; that was a real pain reaction from him. 😬
I remember they said Drew Barrymore WAS supposed to be cast as Sidney but had scheduling issues and couldn't be there for full filming so she instead asked to be the first big kill of the film which gave them the idea to subvert the audience expectation since she was featured in all the trailers and promotional material. Funny enough Drew Barrymore made her comeback in acting with the first 15 minutes of this film because before this she was mainly known as a child actress.
The biggest billed actress being killed off early is also an homage to Psycho where (spoiler) Janet Leigh was on all the posters but died in the first 30 minutes. Hitchcock specifically told theaters not to let anyone in to the movie late otherwise they'd miss her in the movie.
A couple fun facts about the opening scene... When Ghostface breaks through the window and grabs Drew Barrymore, that's Wes Craven wearing the costume, and he startled her enough that she actually hit him in the face with the phone. They also neglected to disconnect the phones in the house where they were filming. So 911 got multiple calls of Drew Barrymore screaming, causing the police to show up on set.
FYI after this movie the sales of Caller ID went triple and a lot of phone companies and police departments also added cellular phone ping signal towers in many areas to their headquarters computers. Just like after the movie Halloween where they added 911 calls (because back then there were no 911 numbers), this movie was responsible for having ID Caller and Star69 more common in households and offices.
@@ct6852 OP is right. I still remember the ID Caller machine, used to own one. The movie really changed the way how people communicate back then especially when internet and cellphones became mainstream.
@@ct6852 This is a fact, actually. Various films, especially sci-fi, have inspired a lot of technology of today. Screams and Halloween, however, made everyone afraid that they actually had to invent some kind of crime-prevention device.
YES!!! They said that what "The Texas Chaisaw Massacre" did for hitchhiking as it made teens/ people a bit more weery of it..... Scream & Scream 2 did for Caller ID ... EVERYBODY had to have it after
This is the one horror franchise I’m so glad I watched, I always put it off because I thought it was a cheesy comedy and I prefer like brutal horrors but that’s “scary movie” instead. Love these movies.
@adventuresinlaurenland It's a series, not a franchise, dumbass . A franchise is something you can buy into and then start your own. So movies don't apply.
A little backstory of how Scream got created. Kevin Williamson wrote the story, like Y'all said, originally titled Scary Movie and based the plot loosely on the 1990 case of the Gainesville Ripper. It was a string of murders in a small town... Then it was changed to "Scream" cause the Ghostface costume was a close resemble to the Scream painting. The Ghostface costume was originally going to be all white, but Wes Craven said it was too much like the KKK so he did the black robe with a white face. Kevin wanted to create a story that has horror but also with some comedy of making it a self aware with the horror universe. But also use a relatable story that truly happened as a baseline. So many Directors wanted to be a part of it. There was even a big bidding war. He chose Wes Craven cause he was the only one who truly understood the story and his vision. Kevin wrote majority of the franchise and Wes Craven directed all of the Scream movies except for "Scream 2022" and "Scream 6". He died after making the 4th. Yes, the title of "Scary Movie" ended up being used for the parody movies. The 1st Scary Movie was about Scream, Scream 2, I know what you did last summer, the Blair witch project, Urban Legend, the sixth sense, The usual suspects, the Matrix, a very brief Dawson's Creek. .
Scream came at a perfect time. It revitalised a genre that had lost its sheen through overstaturation in the 80s. I was 11 when it came out, absolutely loved and obsessed over it and it absolutely ignited my love of horror movies. So for that reason the whole franchise is beloved to me.
Two extra details of this movie: The short haired reporter who follows Sidney at school is actually played by Linda Blair (the actress who played the little girl in the Exorcist) and the guy who plays the "Freddy" janitor at school is actually the director, Wes Craven, who also wrote and directed the original Nightmare on Elm Street. These movies are filled with those little details and references that make them so great.
"Peer pressure im far too sensitive"....."My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at meee" lmao favorite lines in the movie. Im sad they were both cut from the edit. 😭
saw this in the theater with some friends, had an absolute BLAST. all of the easter eggs and poking fun at the genre while somehow still being a compelling plot is just genius. AND YOU GUYS MUST DO THE ORIGINAL STAR WARS TRILOGY ON HERE OMG
From a trivia site - Rose McGowan really could fit through the pet door. She had to be nailed in for her death scene and got bruises all over her body from hanging in the air in the door.
The one reporter who bombarded Sydney as she got to school… was Linda Blair. Who plays Reagan, the little girl from The Exorcist. Matthew Lillard was amazing. Loved how he portrayed Stu.
Fun Facts: - So when Tatum said to Dewey that the janitor is your superior, it's true cause, like Y'all said, the janitor at the school that was dressed as Freddy Krueger which was Wes Craven lol. - So before Scream came out, the caller ID was not popular at all. The caller I.D. sales in the U.S. tripled after Scream was released, lol. - Billy AND Stu were at Casey's and used their girlfriends as Alibis for being out. Stu was on the patio with Steve while Billy was in the front, tormenting her on the phone. The question about "Which door am I at" was a trick question. Stu ran to the front door to let Billy in. You could hear the front door open before she went outside through the kitchen. Also, when her parents got home, the front door was open. When her mom was hearing Casey breathing on the other end of the phone line, you can hear one talking to another saying "tree," and the phone ends. Also, when Steve was tied up, he was looking at both directions of the house. - Wes Craven lol to get his actors into character emotionally like Drew Barrymore (Casey) and Neve Campbell (Sidney) right before he start to film he would run up to them and tell them something terrifying. With Drew Wes Craven would tell her real-life stories of animal cruelty to bring out her emotions and then run off set and yell action, lol. - Roger L. Jackson was the voice of Ghostface for all of Scream movies. For every film, the actors were never allowed to meet him before or see him during filming, so that way, when they were on the phone with him, it would give them that real fear effect. Wes Craven always kept him hidden from the others to where they couldn't see him, but he was still able to see them. He also improved a lot of his lines as well. - Neve Campbell was originally going to say "no" to the film as she is especially afraid of horror movies. But when hearing her co-star Skeet Ulrich from The Craft (1996) was going to appear, she agreed. They did the movies back to back that same year. - Lol yes they casted Skeet Ulrich as Billy Loomis and gave him the same kind of hair style cause of how close he looked like to young Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street who also climbed in through a bedroom window. His last name, Loomis, is a reference to Dr. Loomis in Halloween. Also, when he climbed through her window, the first time, "Fear the Reaper," was playing. He climbed through her window to distract her and turned on her stereo to cover up the background noise of Stu kidnapping her dad. If notice he was wearing the same outfit at the end. - The news lady that was harassing Sidney "how does it feel to almost being butchered" is Linda Blair from the Exorcist. - If look really closely when Billy was "stabbed" in the bedroom, you can see Stu adding the fake blood onto the knife before wiping it off. -Casey's comment about Nightmare on Elm Street about how the first was good, but the rest sucked. It's because Wes Craven only did the first one and didn't direct all of the other ones, lol. -Kenny actually saved Sidney in his literal final moment AFTER his throat got slashed. He pointed to the back and told her "door" so she could crawl out. - Ghostface in the bathroom was a prank on Sidney it wasn't either Billy or Stu. - Rose McGowan(Tatum) was actually able to fit through the cat door. They had to staple her shirt to the door cause she kept falling out. Also, just before her head got smashed in, she herself added, calling out "mom," and Wes loved it and kept it in cause it gave her last moments of humanity. Rose also picked out her own outfits for her character. The jersey she wore with #10 was also a reference to Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street. - When Billy hit Stu in the head with the phone, it was an accident on Skeets part. The fake blood was so sticky and ended up hitting Matthew Lillard instead of the desk, and his "Oww You hit me with the phone D***" was a real reaction to it. Wes loved it as well, so he kept it, lol. Matthew also improved most of his kitchen scene with his lines, like with "Houston, we have a problem," "the peer pressure," and the comment about his parents going to be so mad, lol. - That WHOLE kitchen scene took 5 days to film because of the amount of high energy that was used as well with the fake blood (corn syrup dyed red). - Neve Campbell and Matthew Lillard actually started dating while filming Scream and were together for almost 3 years. So that whole "I've always had a thing for you, Sid" was true, lol. He originally auditioned for Billy, but the casting didn't believe that someone like Neve/Sidney would date someone like him, lol. So he ended up getting Stu, and Skeet got Billy cause of his look alike to Johnny Depp. The funny thing is that even though the casting thought that about Matthew, they ended up dating real life anyway 😂 Skeet and Matthew talk about that often at the conventions, lol. - When Billy got stabbed with the umbrella the 2nd time, it actually hit Skeet, where he had heart surgery when he was younger, so that scream he let out was his real action to the pain. - Drew Barrymore was supposed to play Sidney. But she ended up changing her mind and went to Wes herself with an idea to have her as the open kill cause no one would expect it. Because it would show if they could kill off a huge star right off the bat, it would mean NO ONE was safe. Like Y'all also mentioned It was the BIGGEST surprise shock effect for the audience cause they assumed she would be the leading character due to playing into it with publicity. -Even though Billy was at Sidneys for the attack. It was actually Stu who she fought with when he was tripping up the stairs. You can hear ghostface saying "easy" "easy". The next day at the lockers, he was checking his face in Tatums mirror for any bruises, and when Tatum was hitting him with her sucker he says "easy" "easy. -Billy was always 1 handed with his killing if he had a knife, if didn't he resorts to choking except for Tatum he used the opportunity with the garage door. He gave a signal look to Stu at the front door that Tatum was dead. Stu uses both hands when using the knife and resorts to other tactics if he doesn't have a knife like the both times he fought Sidney. -Stu was the one that called Dewey about the abandoned car and also called Randy about the principal after the whole "I'll be right back." Billy killed the principal so they could use him as a deploy for later that night to get the rest of the guests to leave so the real party could begin. - Dewey was supposed to die in this one, but Wes Craven and everyone just loved David Arquette and how he played his character. They all fell in love with him, so at the end, Wes had Dewey do the thumbs up to show the audience that he survived. - The casting also wanted David Arquette to audition for the role of "Billy Loomis" but he requested on wanting to play "Dewey" cause he had a crush on Courtney Cox and the role of Dewey got to kiss her character "Gale", lol.
“Scream”, and “I know what you did last Summer” were just the best 90s horror movies!!! Both leading ladies, (Neve Campbell, and Jennifer Love Hewitt) we’re both in “Party of 5”, and became our 90s scream queens 🙌🏻❤️ love your reactions ❤
Im so happy that you guys are watching Scream. Neve Campbell is my celeb crush. You can tell who the killer is by how they hold the knife. Billy uses one hand and tries to strangle his victims. Stu raises both hands above his head before killing his victims. Also the scene where Billy throws the phone and hits Stu wasn't part of the script. The scene where Sid hits Billy in the chest and when Billy screams that scream was legit because Sid accidentally hit a bit of the chest where Billy's actor had surgery.
This movie, and the whole franchise is just so well done. This one in particular. It's this great love letter to horror, it's also a really great meta presentation of horror, and it manages to be an actual horror film. They did a truly great job making these. They give you so many possible leads, some really obvious ones, you think you know the rules of horror, but the movie just stands that on its head.
Happy Birthday to me! Love, love, love Scream. The movie that got me into horror...and I haven't stopped watching since. This was such a revelation for a sixth grader. Scary, thrilling, brutal, funny, witty, dramatic, sly. It just had a charisma I'd never seen before. Thought Rose McGowen and Matthew Lillard were like the coolest, quirkiest people I'd ever seen. I actually heard a bit about the movie before it came out. My babysitter's family owned Stu's house and she was there for some of the filming. She didn't know what it was going to be called, or really what it was about...she just said the cast of Party of Five was in it. Lol. Eventually she got unceremoniously kicked out because they found out she wasn't cast Anyways it was like a year and a half after it was released, and had become my favorite, that I figured out this was the movie she was talking about. That house is iconic now. Anyways...love this. So glad you guys are doing the whole series. Pretty much every single one of them is good...rare for a horror franchise. Thanks for doing this. Awesome channel. ❤
on the note of skeet ulrich being "general dollar johnny depp" - that's part of why he was cast! everybody agreed he looked kinda like johnny. his first scene in this movie - entering sid's bedroom through her window - is a direct reference to johnny depp doing the same in a nightmare on elm street!
One of my favorite movies!!! So glad you guys reacted to this one. A few things to point out that I just find fun - when the killer asks Casey (Drew Barrymore) which door he’s at, it’s a trick because there’s two of them so they’re positioned at teach door - it doesn’t matter which one she picks, there’s someone there The janitor dressed like Freddy Krueger was actually the director Wes Craven! The TH-camr Zack Cherry does awesome videos where he theorizes who killed who and he makes really good points that make a lot of sense
@@ct6852 In probably would have surprised him for a little bit, at least, maybe enough for Drew to get a better head start on running out. But yeah, you're right that they weren't super sturdy; the handle wires were pretty chunky, though, as I recall.
@@jillk368 Yeah if it was scolding hot it might give her a minute. Would've been interesting to see Casey's parents interact with Ghostface if she had that much more time to run around.
Honestly, what made this movie a hit was the intro. That's what everyone talked about. Then, the plot twist, the guys stabbing each other and suddenly Sidney turns everything around.
Such an amazing movie, the killers reveal will always be my favorite scene but the most important thing to me is it has the legend Matthew Lillard as Stu Macher! i cant wait for him to go back to horror films with five nights at freddy's next halloween because man we need more of him in movies
@@Flo.2005. I think it could work...and be great. But there's definitely a contingent online that think its the most dumbshit proposal ever. Don't think I've imagined it that the writers have hinted at it in the new ones, though.
This movie first came out when I was in my early twenties. Not long after I saw it, someone called our house and I answered it. The man on the other end said “Hi. Who’s this?” I thought “Nope. Not doing it.” I said “You called here. Who are you?” It turned out to be my dad’s cousin, who I hadn’t seen in years and had never talked to on the phone. So it was all good, but this movie sure had a lasting impact on me!!
Henry Winkler's role was the most fun for us old folks because we got to see the Fonz slicking his hair back AND his signature leather jacket when he snatches open his closet door. Plus, Wes Craven himself as "Fred", the Kuger-esque janitor. Fun fact: The original title of "Scream" was "Scary Movie", a moniker the Wayans brothers were glad to take and run with.
I've seen this film more times than I can count and it was only recently that I noticed, when they are all sitting by the fountain near the beginning, talking about Cece, both Billy and Stu are wearing the brown boots.
I can't remember who, but there's someone on yt that did a cool video on being able to tell which killer is under the mask based on how they hold the knife, and it's incredibly accurate.
The way the backround lettering behind Mason Quinn makes it look like his wearing horns hehe 😅 I didn't get into horror movies until I was college, but after watching it, i can see why it's such an iconic movie.
MY FAVORITE FRANCHISE EVER . My mom showed me this for the first time when I was 14 , now this is a franchise we bond over ❤ so much love for these films . So happy you guys are reacting to it 😊
A few Easter Eggs: Linda Blair was the pushy reporter that says “People wanna know! They have a right to know!” Tatum and Dewey’s mom is the same actress who played McFly’s grandma in B2tF and Billy’s mom in Gremlins, and you can see Fonzie’s jacket hanging in Principal Himbry’s closet. I don’t know how true it is, but, like Quinn mentioned, it seems that Billy Loomis’ character is named after Dr. Sam Loomis in Halloween (seems completely plausible, given all the Halloween references)― Sam Loomis is also the boyfriend’s name in Psycho. And it’s so funny that you mentioned Skeet Ulrich being a Kirkland-version of Johnny Depp― that opening scene where he sneaks into Sidney’s room is very reminiscent of Glen, Depp’s character, sneaking into Nancy’s room in Nightmare on Elm Street.
I have no words to express how glad i am you guys finally react to this franchise! Hope you'll continue with the other ones, because it's really is one of my fav movie franchise ever and even my comfort franchise haha
17:39 Easter egg, in case no one else has mentioned it yet. That obnoxious reporter is Linda Blair, the actor who played poor little Regan in The Exorcist.
Saw this for the first time at an outdoor screening with friends. After the sex scene where Billy says "you still don't think it was me" someone in the crowd shouted something very spoilery like "It was you!" I was so angry for about 15 seconds before Billy is "killed" by ghostface and then was like, oh i guess that person was just joking! Only time Ive ever had the ending spoiled, then unspoiled, then realizing it actually was spoiled only after I got to experience it unspoiled
I was never into slashers, but Scream was released the weekend I was born, and Wes Craven used to teach in my hometown before he decided to make movies, so I decided to give Scream a go. I loved it! The meta-humor and characters are just great! It's one of my favorite film series now. And it got me into horror movies.
@@ct6852 Both. He was a humanities professor at Clarkson University back in the '60s, but he also briefly taught at nearby Madrid-Waddington High School. He got into film after helping some college students start a film club and film a 40 minute short film at a house on Elm St. in the town of Potsdam-or Madstop, if you spell it backwards. They screened it in a few local towns, but I'm not sure if you can find the full cut on the internet anywhere or if it's been lost to time. He said that short film did not inspire Nightmare, but the locals still like to think it has nods to his time in the area. Anyway, he enjoyed the filming that short film so much that he quit teaching and decided to go make films instead. Funnily enough, John Carpenter was born about 90 minutes away in the town of Carthage. He moved out of state when he was six, but our region likes to claim him, too.
As a long time horror fan...this movie ticked all the boxes and then threw in some twists. All the red herrings, the possibility of the main star dying, the easter eggs...just love this series.
Loved these movies back in the day. Haven't watched them in a long time, but I remember quite a bit of it. The garage door murder is one that always stuck in my mind as one of the more brutal.
@@ct6852 True, but I never really paid attention to how real it looked back then. These days yeah, I definitely see the fake stuff haha. Still, it's a pretty iconic movie even with its 90's flaws
Probably the rowdiest movie theater experience I've seen to this day. I was in 6th grade. But the teens in the audience probably scared me more than the movie. Lol.
The Scream movies are some of my favorites. The original horror/slasher films will always be my top movies. Loved this reaction and got a new subscriber 44:03 I was 17😂😂😂
This is crazy. I literally just found your channel because of Harry Potter. And now you are watching my absolute favorite franchise. Scream has been my fave movie since I was a literal baby lol
What i love about scream is that its not just a killer, it could be anyone, that's what made it such a tense film, you're constantly paying attention to everyone which leads to some pretty scary moments.
Such a good movie i love scream it’s a perfect movie for a fun night with friends and you can talk and goof around and it’s still a great watch all these years later❤
Yeah David arquette and Courtney cox were married from 1999-2013 and have a daughter together named coco arquette (Jennifer Aniston is her God mom) they are still best friends they said there better as friends then they were as a couple also I loved that Matthew lillard adlibbed 90% of the final scene that was freaking phenomenal
13:50 Excellent pick up on the Loomis name. Billy was indeed given the last name Loomis to pay homage to our favorite doctor (who ironically was named for a character in Psycho)
OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! I woke up from my nap to see this posted. Scream is one of my all time fave franchises. What fun to start another epic group of reactions!! Let's Goooooo!!
this is one of the most important and revolutionary films to ever hit the horror genre and it singl;e-handedly revitalized the slasher film. one of the best films of the 90s, imo.
I just recently got around to watching this whole series and really enjoyed most of them. Skeet Ulrich was a surprise to me as I had no clue he was in this movie and had only ever seen him in the TV show Jericho before. (Also, I don't know if Jericho would gather enough attention to be worth you all watching, but I would love to see your reactions to it.) I think they do a great job of balancing the horror, the fourth wall breaking, and doing a lot with very little in terms of action and suspense. Looking forward to you all watching the rest of this series.
This was a great reaction. I love laughing with you guys 😂. So fun. Also I love the fact that ghost face did take a good amount of shots and was very clumsy because, at the end of the day, they were just teenagers. So I thought they did a really good job with that. Ready, willing, and able to watch the next one. Let’s go! 💪
I'm so happy you guys are reacting to the Scream franchise. I know you will have so much fun watching these movies! ❤ p.s. Imo it's better if you leave the "scary movie" franchise for later (I'm saying this because I'm positive you will be asked to react to that too), otherwise some plot points may be spoiled. xx
I was born July 4th 1998, so I recognize everything in the movie as fairly normal, my landline was wired for a little but became one of those none wired ones. I used phone books to call friends and hang out with the kids on my street while biking around. So my young childhood was early 2000s (which is really what people remember the 90's as). It would be really weird to interact with people that don't know what VHS is or how revolutionary a CD is (which are now basically obsolete). I think being born after 2003 (maybe 2005) is about when the internet kids start, I eased into the internet around when I was 12 or so, didn't have a cellphone until 7th grade really, even then I barley used it and only got a smartphone in highschool. Wild times. Now when I write stories or make comics I like to place them before smartphones and the widespread use of cellphones. I like that time more, also easier to write for. However I'm actually afraid that stories like that will lose popularity as people will no longer be able to relate or understand a world pre-internet. A time before cellphone reception was a problem and so on. I often watch you guys while I'm doing commissions or drawing/writing and listening to you guys joke about tech and stuff reminded me of all this. I'm probably in that last batch that knows what you mean (not sure when the cut off is, like I said probably 2003?). Not too long until a stories placed in the past are similar to fantasy stories.
I already miss physical like CD's and DVD's. I got a Quest 2 headset not too long ago and you have to buy and download from the online store. Also they made it impossible to sell the games along with the headset. Kind of sucks.
I saw that Drew Barrymore scene at way too young of an age, in an all glass conservatory, scarred me for years. Wouldn’t even entertain the idea of ever seeing a Scream movie again, thankfully I’m less of a scaredy cat now
This movie was a game changer. All the marketing was set for Drew Barrymore to be the star of the film throughout. But she had a wonderful idea which was to say, what if we just kill me. Do the unexpected, and have the main star die in the beginning. That way you’ll know that no one is safe. It was a selfless thing to do, but it ultimately was brilliant.
Oh yes!!!!!! So happy! This franchise is a classic horror movie!!!! The opening intro IS iconic !Please continue! In others i want to see them react to Fifty Shade franchise too! LOL
Best 90's horror film? Where does Scream rank on your horror list? What was your reaction?

It’s gonna be irrelevant with this film but I have to ask that are you gonna watch avatar Korra cause I’m still waiting for the sequel of the last air bender 🥲
I really think that the first one is a masterpiece, is slasher and also funny😂 now you need to watch Scary movie!
PLEASE continue this series
You want to talk perfect casting? Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich were PERFECT! Ulrich was sleazy and creepy and the OBVIOUS choice for the killer, which makes the fake twist of his "murder" so shocking and sends you on a spiral questioning everything you thought you knew. And then Lillard just NAILS the insanity of Stu in the final act, managing to be both scary and absurdly funny, especially with the line, "My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!"
Agree. Their performance always made me want to see like a prequel with just them doing the planning and whatnot. Such a bummer that they and Tatum had to go so early in the series.
And Lillard improvised that part!
“You f-king hit me with the phone, dick!!” literally always gets me 😂 the whole cast is excellent, but Lillard really did toe that perfect line between insane and hilarious.
I've always seen both of them as the two sides of horror slashers, Billy is the serious side, while Stu the comedic side.
@@karthrukon2692 Scream has a really interesting tone. Would imagine it's difficult to pull off for actors and director. Not many have done it in quite the same way, or as successfully. Some other later 90's movies walked that line between genres too. Like American Beauty and Meet Joe Black. Not horror obviously but similarly odd.
Jamie Kennedy was chosen for the role of Randy because he would often improvise humor into his lines, which made director Wes Craven laugh 😂
Oh my god, I love this series so so much and honestly I wonder if they threw in that thing about Jamie Kennedy's character being in love with Jamie Lee Curtis because his name is Jamie for that whole he's behind you thing or whether that just happened to line up that way
Btw having Drew Barrymore dying so quickly and being so famous was an homage to Janet Leigh dying so quickly in Psycho. Leigh was super famous as well.
Thank you for commenting on Psycho. It took Janet Leigh longer than 10 minutes to die. She was a famous actress in the 60's and it was a big twist and thing that nobody was expecting.
Psycho: the movie the spurred the sales of clear shower curtains
@@allwrappedup2476 Scream: the movie that spurred the sales of caller ID
Are you sure? I recall an interview that said that Drew was cast as the protagonist and it was Drew who suggested to Wes Craven to have her killed as none would suspect that.
@@LOTRFAN33 I watched a documentary years ago on the history of slasher horror movies and Wes Craven was interviewed. He said having the famous actresses killed in the beginning was an homage to Psycho. I can’t remember the name of the documentary but I’m sure it’s floating around on YT somewhere.
Fun Fact. When Skeet through the phone, he hit Mathew by accident and Mathew just went with it. His line, "You hit me with the phone, you dick!", was improvised.
Love Mathew, favorite Ghostface
Threw
It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen this movie, the opening always gives me chills. The dialogue is so good.
“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?”
So creepy
He's black and he'll kick your ass!
To me, there hasnt been any better killers than Billy or Stu. They will always remain my top Ghostfaces. They played the roles perfectly!
They were both great.
Best ghostface from sequels??
@@integrity101 Jill was the big shocker and came the closest to getting away with it. Billy's mom was a neat twist
@integrity101 My favorite is one of the Ghostfaces from 6, he's very skilled and brutal and doesn't even care to catch victims one by one he just busts into a full room or store and starts killing
Fun Fact: Stockard Channing as Rizzo in Grease was the oldest actor to ever play a high school student in a studio movie. She was 34. Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard were both 26 at the time of filming.
Fun fact, the janitor who looks like Freddy Kruger is played by the director Wes Craven, who also made A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Yes, this was mentioned in the reaction
I think Scream is best described as a self-aware horror that’s not afraid to make fun of itself and other horror movies
Fun fact: Neve Campbell really did stab Skeet Ulrich with the umbrella and what's worse is that it was an old scar from a childhood surgery; that was a real pain reaction from him. 😬
I remember they said Drew Barrymore WAS supposed to be cast as Sidney but had scheduling issues and couldn't be there for full filming so she instead asked to be the first big kill of the film which gave them the idea to subvert the audience expectation since she was featured in all the trailers and promotional material. Funny enough Drew Barrymore made her comeback in acting with the first 15 minutes of this film because before this she was mainly known as a child actress.
The biggest billed actress being killed off early is also an homage to Psycho where (spoiler) Janet Leigh was on all the posters but died in the first 30 minutes. Hitchcock specifically told theaters not to let anyone in to the movie late otherwise they'd miss her in the movie.
@@stephaniem6482 Oh thats right, Hitchcock's wife even suggested she be killed off in the first 30 minutes of the film XD
@@decusq I believe she is also killed off early in the book.
A couple fun facts about the opening scene...
When Ghostface breaks through the window and grabs Drew Barrymore, that's Wes Craven wearing the costume, and he startled her enough that she actually hit him in the face with the phone.
They also neglected to disconnect the phones in the house where they were filming. So 911 got multiple calls of Drew Barrymore screaming, causing the police to show up on set.
FYI after this movie the sales of Caller ID went triple and a lot of phone companies and police departments also added cellular phone ping signal towers in many areas to their headquarters computers. Just like after the movie Halloween where they added 911 calls (because back then there were no 911 numbers), this movie was responsible for having ID Caller and Star69 more common in households and offices.
Always thought that might be the cast. But never imagined a movie could have that much real world influence. You're probably right, though.
@@ct6852 OP is right. I still remember the ID Caller machine, used to own one. The movie really changed the way how people communicate back then especially when internet and cellphones became mainstream.
@@RedfordGuy That's crazy. Pop culture must've pretty powerful back in the day. Before the internet got big.
@@ct6852 This is a fact, actually. Various films, especially sci-fi, have inspired a lot of technology of today. Screams and Halloween, however, made everyone afraid that they actually had to invent some kind of crime-prevention device.
YES!!! They said that what "The Texas Chaisaw Massacre" did for hitchhiking as it made teens/ people a bit more weery of it..... Scream & Scream 2 did for Caller ID ... EVERYBODY had to have it after
This is the one horror franchise I’m so glad I watched, I always put it off because I thought it was a cheesy comedy and I prefer like brutal horrors but that’s “scary movie” instead. Love these movies.
Yeah same, I think I also got it confused with Scary Movie and just stayed away from it. But it is very good scary movie, not just a bad parody.
Agreed!
@@Kamechan98scary movie isnt a bad parody ?? it paved the way for all parody movies. you just have no sense of humor.
@@Ally-lo2go nah I just don’t see the point in cheesy horror movies , I find them cringe
@@JHolland "cheesy horror movies" thats your first mistake. It's not a horror movie its a comedy. So again, you have no sense of humor.
I have no complaints about the Scream franchise, as a horror movie fanatic I think this is perfect ❤
Same, I love them all. None of them are hard for me to get through
Agree
Bullshit!! 5 and 6 suck.
@adventuresinlaurenland
It's a series, not a franchise, dumbass
.
A franchise is something you can buy into and then start your own. So movies don't apply.
Scream franchise is no way near perfect. Scream 3 is lackluster and Scream 5 is bad.
A little backstory of how Scream got created.
Kevin Williamson wrote the story, like Y'all said, originally titled Scary Movie and based the plot loosely on the 1990 case of the Gainesville Ripper. It was a string of murders in a small town... Then it was changed to "Scream" cause the Ghostface costume was a close resemble to the Scream painting. The Ghostface costume was originally going to be all white, but Wes Craven said it was too much like the KKK so he did the black robe with a white face. Kevin wanted to create a story that has horror but also with some comedy of making it a self aware with the horror universe. But also use a relatable story that truly happened as a baseline. So many Directors wanted to be a part of it. There was even a big bidding war. He chose Wes Craven cause he was the only one who truly understood the story and his vision. Kevin wrote majority of the franchise and Wes Craven directed all of the Scream movies except for "Scream 2022" and "Scream 6". He died after making the 4th.
Yes, the title of "Scary Movie" ended up being used for the parody movies. The 1st Scary Movie was about Scream, Scream 2, I know what you did last summer, the Blair witch project, Urban Legend, the sixth sense, The usual suspects, the Matrix, a very brief Dawson's Creek. .
The first Scary Movie was awesome.
Scream came at a perfect time. It revitalised a genre that had lost its sheen through overstaturation in the 80s. I was 11 when it came out, absolutely loved and obsessed over it and it absolutely ignited my love of horror movies. So for that reason the whole franchise is beloved to me.
Two extra details of this movie: The short haired reporter who follows Sidney at school is actually played by Linda Blair (the actress who played the little girl in the Exorcist) and the guy who plays the "Freddy" janitor at school is actually the director, Wes Craven, who also wrote and directed the original Nightmare on Elm Street. These movies are filled with those little details and references that make them so great.
So happy you guys are reacting to this!!! My favorite franchise hands down!!!!
I can't unsee Scary Movie's version of this. Every scene reminds me of it. The garage door one made me chuckle out loud.
Dufus and the hoover always cracks me up.
And the "Wazzup?"
With that one Usual Suspects homage thrown in...lol.
I know what you did last summer 1&2 creeped me out
It's so weird, I saw the scary movie version before I saw these and view it totally different now 😂
It's kinda hard to take some if it seriously
"Peer pressure im far too sensitive"....."My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at meee" lmao favorite lines in the movie. Im sad they were both cut from the edit. 😭
saw this in the theater with some friends, had an absolute BLAST. all of the easter eggs and poking fun at the genre while somehow still being a compelling plot is just genius. AND YOU GUYS MUST DO THE ORIGINAL STAR WARS TRILOGY ON HERE OMG
Stars is coming later this year. Diamond Dave hasn't seen any stars wars and some of the guys haven't seen all the movies.
@@BaddMedicine awesomesauce
From a trivia site - Rose McGowan really could fit through the pet door. She had to be nailed in for her death scene and got bruises all over her body from hanging in the air in the door.
The one reporter who bombarded Sydney as she got to school… was Linda Blair. Who plays Reagan, the little girl from The Exorcist.
Matthew Lillard was amazing. Loved how he portrayed Stu.
The Scream movies definitely play on different horror themes/tropes, and that's where most of the great humor and investigating comes from :)
this is why Sidney Prescott is considered the ultimate Final Girl. It was soooo good on 1st watch in the 90s & still holds up now.
Matthew and Skeet did such an amazing job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is my absolute favorite film and horror franchise! I can’t tell you how loud I screamed 😅
Fun Facts:
- So when Tatum said to Dewey that the janitor is your superior, it's true cause, like Y'all said, the janitor at the school that was dressed as Freddy Krueger which was Wes Craven lol.
- So before Scream came out, the caller ID was not popular at all. The caller I.D. sales in the U.S. tripled after Scream was released, lol.
- Billy AND Stu were at Casey's and used their girlfriends as Alibis for being out. Stu was on the patio with Steve while Billy was in the front, tormenting her on the phone. The question about "Which door am I at" was a trick question. Stu ran to the front door to let Billy in. You could hear the front door open before she went outside through the kitchen. Also, when her parents got home, the front door was open. When her mom was hearing Casey breathing on the other end of the phone line, you can hear one talking to another saying "tree," and the phone ends. Also, when Steve was tied up, he was looking at both directions of the house.
- Wes Craven lol to get his actors into character emotionally like Drew Barrymore (Casey) and Neve Campbell (Sidney) right before he start to film he would run up to them and tell them something terrifying. With Drew Wes Craven would tell her real-life stories of animal cruelty to bring out her emotions and then run off set and yell action, lol.
- Roger L. Jackson was the voice of Ghostface for all of Scream movies. For every film, the actors were never allowed to meet him before or see him during filming, so that way, when they were on the phone with him, it would give them that real fear effect. Wes Craven always kept him hidden from the others to where they couldn't see him, but he was still able to see them. He also improved a lot of his lines as well.
- Neve Campbell was originally going to say "no" to the film as she is especially afraid of horror movies. But when hearing her co-star Skeet Ulrich from The Craft (1996) was going to appear, she agreed. They did the movies back to back that same year.
- Lol yes they casted Skeet Ulrich as Billy Loomis and gave him the same kind of hair style cause of how close he looked like to young Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street who also climbed in through a bedroom window. His last name, Loomis, is a reference to Dr. Loomis in Halloween.
Also, when he climbed through her window, the first time, "Fear the Reaper," was playing. He climbed through her window to distract her and turned on her stereo to cover up the background noise of Stu kidnapping her dad. If notice he was wearing the same outfit at the end.
- The news lady that was harassing Sidney "how does it feel to almost being butchered" is Linda Blair from the Exorcist.
- If look really closely when Billy was "stabbed" in the bedroom, you can see Stu adding the fake blood onto the knife before wiping it off.
-Casey's comment about Nightmare on Elm Street about how the first was good, but the rest sucked. It's because Wes Craven only did the first one and didn't direct all of the other ones, lol.
-Kenny actually saved Sidney in his literal final moment AFTER his throat got slashed. He pointed to the back and told her "door" so she could crawl out.
- Ghostface in the bathroom was a prank on Sidney it wasn't either Billy or Stu.
- Rose McGowan(Tatum) was actually able to fit through the cat door. They had to staple her shirt to the door cause she kept falling out. Also, just before her head got smashed in, she herself added, calling out "mom," and Wes loved it and kept it in cause it gave her last moments of humanity. Rose also picked out her own outfits for her character. The jersey she wore with #10 was also a reference to Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street.
- When Billy hit Stu in the head with the phone, it was an accident on Skeets part. The fake blood was so sticky and ended up hitting Matthew Lillard instead of the desk, and his "Oww You hit me with the phone D***" was a real reaction to it. Wes loved it as well, so he kept it, lol. Matthew also improved most of his kitchen scene with his lines, like with "Houston, we have a problem," "the peer pressure," and the comment about his parents going to be so mad, lol.
- That WHOLE kitchen scene took 5 days to film because of the amount of high energy that was used as well with the fake blood (corn syrup dyed red).
- Neve Campbell and Matthew Lillard actually started dating while filming Scream and were together for almost 3 years. So that whole "I've always had a thing for you, Sid" was true, lol. He originally auditioned for Billy, but the casting didn't believe that someone like Neve/Sidney would date someone like him, lol. So he ended up getting Stu, and Skeet got Billy cause of his look alike to Johnny Depp. The funny thing is that even though the casting thought that about Matthew, they ended up dating real life anyway 😂 Skeet and Matthew talk about that often at the conventions, lol.
- When Billy got stabbed with the umbrella the 2nd time, it actually hit Skeet, where he had heart surgery when he was younger, so that scream he let out was his real action to the pain.
- Drew Barrymore was supposed to play Sidney. But she ended up changing her mind and went to Wes herself with an idea to have her as the open kill cause no one would expect it. Because it would show if they could kill off a huge star right off the bat, it would mean NO ONE was safe. Like Y'all also mentioned It was the BIGGEST surprise shock effect for the audience cause they assumed she would be the leading character due to playing into it with publicity.
-Even though Billy was at Sidneys for the attack. It was actually Stu who she fought with when he was tripping up the stairs. You can hear ghostface saying "easy" "easy". The next day at the lockers, he was checking his face in Tatums mirror for any bruises, and when Tatum was hitting him with her sucker he says "easy" "easy.
-Billy was always 1 handed with his killing if he had a knife, if didn't he resorts to choking except for Tatum he used the opportunity with the garage door. He gave a signal look to Stu at the front door that Tatum was dead. Stu uses both hands when using the knife and resorts to other tactics if he doesn't have a knife like the both times he fought Sidney.
-Stu was the one that called Dewey about the abandoned car and also called Randy about the principal after the whole "I'll be right back." Billy killed the principal so they could use him as a deploy for later that night to get the rest of the guests to leave so the real party could begin.
- Dewey was supposed to die in this one, but Wes Craven and everyone just loved David Arquette and how he played his character. They all fell in love with him, so at the end, Wes had Dewey do the thumbs up to show the audience that he survived.
- The casting also wanted David Arquette to audition for the role of "Billy Loomis" but he requested on wanting to play "Dewey" cause he had a crush on Courtney Cox and the role of Dewey got to kiss her character "Gale", lol.
“Scream”, and “I know what you did last Summer” were just the best 90s horror movies!!! Both leading ladies, (Neve Campbell, and Jennifer Love Hewitt) we’re both in “Party of 5”, and became our 90s scream queens 🙌🏻❤️ love your reactions ❤
Dang it, that takes me back. I watched I know what you did last Summer with my high school friends in our uniforms! Core memory unlocked!
Ohh man, an absolute classic! The other movies in the Scream series are great, but this is the one I'll rewatch again and again. A great reaction! ❤
Im so happy that you guys are watching Scream. Neve Campbell is my celeb crush.
You can tell who the killer is by how they hold the knife.
Billy uses one hand and tries to strangle his victims.
Stu raises both hands above his head before killing his victims.
Also the scene where Billy throws the phone and hits Stu wasn't part of the script.
The scene where Sid hits Billy in the chest and when Billy screams that scream was legit because Sid accidentally hit a bit of the chest where Billy's actor had surgery.
Think Stu will ever show up in another Scream movie? I think the overhead knife thing was in 6.
@@ct6852 I hope he does.
This movie, and the whole franchise is just so well done. This one in particular. It's this great love letter to horror, it's also a really great meta presentation of horror, and it manages to be an actual horror film. They did a truly great job making these. They give you so many possible leads, some really obvious ones, you think you know the rules of horror, but the movie just stands that on its head.
Happy Birthday to me! Love, love, love Scream. The movie that got me into horror...and I haven't stopped watching since. This was such a revelation for a sixth grader. Scary, thrilling, brutal, funny, witty, dramatic, sly. It just had a charisma I'd never seen before. Thought Rose McGowen and Matthew Lillard were like the coolest, quirkiest people I'd ever seen.
I actually heard a bit about the movie before it came out. My babysitter's family owned Stu's house and she was there for some of the filming. She didn't know what it was going to be called, or really what it was about...she just said the cast of Party of Five was in it. Lol. Eventually she got unceremoniously kicked out because they found out she wasn't cast Anyways it was like a year and a half after it was released, and had become my favorite, that I figured out this was the movie she was talking about. That house is iconic now.
Anyways...love this. So glad you guys are doing the whole series. Pretty much every single one of them is good...rare for a horror franchise. Thanks for doing this. Awesome channel. ❤
Happy birthday 🤘
Happy birthday stranger
@@garypasquill2355 Thank you.
on the note of skeet ulrich being "general dollar johnny depp" - that's part of why he was cast! everybody agreed he looked kinda like johnny. his first scene in this movie - entering sid's bedroom through her window - is a direct reference to johnny depp doing the same in a nightmare on elm street!
Yall been putting out some bangers all year... Much appreciated 🤘🏾😎
We appreciate you spending time watching with us!
One of my favorite movies!!! So glad you guys reacted to this one.
A few things to point out that I just find fun - when the killer asks Casey (Drew Barrymore) which door he’s at, it’s a trick because there’s two of them so they’re positioned at teach door - it doesn’t matter which one she picks, there’s someone there
The janitor dressed like Freddy Krueger was actually the director Wes Craven!
The TH-camr Zack Cherry does awesome videos where he theorizes who killed who and he makes really good points that make a lot of sense
The flaming popcorn pan!! Grab it and smack him with it, Drew!! I yell this to Drew every time I see this but she never listens.
Those things were really light, though. Like aluminum foil and not much else.
@@ct6852 In probably would have surprised him for a little bit, at least, maybe enough for Drew to get a better head start on running out. But yeah, you're right that they weren't super sturdy; the handle wires were pretty chunky, though, as I recall.
@@jillk368 Yeah if it was scolding hot it might give her a minute. Would've been interesting to see Casey's parents interact with Ghostface if she had that much more time to run around.
@@ct6852 Yep; it totally would.
I love that you guys got so many of the references! Most reactors don’t understand a lot of them and this was so refreshing!
Shame they missed Linda Blair as a reporter at 17:41
Honestly, what made this movie a hit was the intro. That's what everyone talked about. Then, the plot twist, the guys stabbing each other and suddenly Sidney turns everything around.
Such an amazing movie, the killers reveal will always be my favorite scene but the most important thing to me is it has the legend Matthew Lillard as Stu Macher! i cant wait for him to go back to horror films with five nights at freddy's next halloween because man we need more of him in movies
You think there's any chance in hell he'll return for Scream 7? Genuinely can't tell if that theory is nuts or not...
@@ct6852 i mean Matthew really wants to and he's said for years that he doesn't think Stu is really dead so for now yeah there's nothing offical.
@@Flo.2005. I think it could work...and be great. But there's definitely a contingent online that think its the most dumbshit proposal ever. Don't think I've imagined it that the writers have hinted at it in the new ones, though.
I loved him in 13 Ghosts. I don't care what others say, I loved that horror flick! 😂
Does anyone else do the gunshot with oak every time they say “bad medicine is.. BACK” 🤣hits every time 😂
I wince a lil cause it's always super loud compared to the rest. Lol.
17:41 the reporter that says “people have a right to know!” While Dewey is pushing her back is Linda Blair (played Reagan in the Exorcist)
YES. Most people miss that.
This movie first came out when I was in my early twenties. Not long after I saw it, someone called our house and I answered it. The man on the other end said “Hi. Who’s this?” I thought “Nope. Not doing it.” I said “You called here. Who are you?” It turned out to be my dad’s cousin, who I hadn’t seen in years and had never talked to on the phone. So it was all good, but this movie sure had a lasting impact on me!!
Henry Winkler's role was the most fun for us old folks because we got to see the Fonz slicking his hair back AND his signature leather jacket when he snatches open his closet door. Plus, Wes Craven himself as "Fred", the Kuger-esque janitor. Fun fact: The original title of "Scream" was "Scary Movie", a moniker the Wayans brothers were glad to take and run with.
Let's freaking go this franchise still stands as one of my favorites I hope you guys continue and enjoy the ride
One of my favorite horror movie franchises. So excited you guys are reacting to them. Can't wait for the rest of this journey.
I've seen this film more times than I can count and it was only recently that I noticed, when they are all sitting by the fountain near the beginning, talking about Cece, both Billy and Stu are wearing the brown boots.
This was my first reaction with you guys, and I'm stoked! This is my favorite franchise, and it was so fun to watch it with you!
I can't remember who, but there's someone on yt that did a cool video on being able to tell which killer is under the mask based on how they hold the knife, and it's incredibly accurate.
The way the backround lettering behind Mason Quinn makes it look like his wearing horns hehe 😅 I didn't get into horror movies until I was college, but after watching it, i can see why it's such an iconic movie.
MY FAVORITE FRANCHISE EVER . My mom showed me this for the first time when I was 14 , now this is a franchise we bond over ❤ so much love for these films . So happy you guys are reacting to it 😊
A few Easter Eggs: Linda Blair was the pushy reporter that says “People wanna know! They have a right to know!” Tatum and Dewey’s mom is the same actress who played McFly’s grandma in B2tF and Billy’s mom in Gremlins, and you can see Fonzie’s jacket hanging in Principal Himbry’s closet. I don’t know how true it is, but, like Quinn mentioned, it seems that Billy Loomis’ character is named after Dr. Sam Loomis in Halloween (seems completely plausible, given all the Halloween references)― Sam Loomis is also the boyfriend’s name in Psycho. And it’s so funny that you mentioned Skeet Ulrich being a Kirkland-version of Johnny Depp― that opening scene where he sneaks into Sidney’s room is very reminiscent of Glen, Depp’s character, sneaking into Nancy’s room in Nightmare on Elm Street.
16:12 "i send a copy Punch!"
20:52 Sydney is Safe!
27:06 Garage death!
30:15 atta boy Dewry
38:24 in your Dreams!
David Arquette was also in a great comedy called Airheads with Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler, and Steve Buscemi. Fantastic film
You'll never look at your garage the same way again after that scene
Love the “Stu”/Matthew Lillard charactr
..Had some prety funny lines in the film
I have no words to express how glad i am you guys finally react to this franchise! Hope you'll continue with the other ones, because it's really is one of my fav movie franchise ever and even my comfort franchise haha
17:39 Easter egg, in case no one else has mentioned it yet. That obnoxious reporter is Linda Blair, the actor who played poor little Regan in The Exorcist.
Saw this for the first time at an outdoor screening with friends. After the sex scene where Billy says "you still don't think it was me" someone in the crowd shouted something very spoilery like "It was you!" I was so angry for about 15 seconds before Billy is "killed" by ghostface and then was like, oh i guess that person was just joking! Only time Ive ever had the ending spoiled, then unspoiled, then realizing it actually was spoiled only after I got to experience it unspoiled
At 22:23 that's Wes Craven dressed as Freddy Krueger. He directed Scream and Nightmare on Elm Street.
I was never into slashers, but Scream was released the weekend I was born, and Wes Craven used to teach in my hometown before he decided to make movies, so I decided to give Scream a go. I loved it! The meta-humor and characters are just great! It's one of my favorite film series now. And it got me into horror movies.
Was curious about his career. When I've seen him interviewed he definitely has a professorial vibe. Was it high school or college that he taught?
@@ct6852 Both. He was a humanities professor at Clarkson University back in the '60s, but he also briefly taught at nearby Madrid-Waddington High School.
He got into film after helping some college students start a film club and film a 40 minute short film at a house on Elm St. in the town of Potsdam-or Madstop, if you spell it backwards. They screened it in a few local towns, but I'm not sure if you can find the full cut on the internet anywhere or if it's been lost to time. He said that short film did not inspire Nightmare, but the locals still like to think it has nods to his time in the area. Anyway, he enjoyed the filming that short film so much that he quit teaching and decided to go make films instead.
Funnily enough, John Carpenter was born about 90 minutes away in the town of Carthage. He moved out of state when he was six, but our region likes to claim him, too.
As a long time horror fan...this movie ticked all the boxes and then threw in some twists. All the red herrings, the possibility of the main star dying, the easter eggs...just love this series.
Loved these movies back in the day. Haven't watched them in a long time, but I remember quite a bit of it. The garage door murder is one that always stuck in my mind as one of the more brutal.
Tatum's head looks very, very fake in it...but that's alright. Up until that last moment it's pretty convincing.
@@ct6852 True, but I never really paid attention to how real it looked back then. These days yeah, I definitely see the fake stuff haha. Still, it's a pretty iconic movie even with its 90's flaws
I was in high school when this came out. Saw it in theaters with a bunch of friends. Will never forget it. Still a classic.
Probably the rowdiest movie theater experience I've seen to this day. I was in 6th grade. But the teens in the audience probably scared me more than the movie. Lol.
I love how these movies perfectly balance humor with slasher horror. This franchise is such a classic!
The Scream movies are some of my favorites. The original horror/slasher films will always be my top movies. Loved this reaction and got a new subscriber
44:03 I was 17😂😂😂
This is crazy. I literally just found your channel because of Harry Potter. And now you are watching my absolute favorite franchise. Scream has been my fave movie since I was a literal baby lol
When Henry Winkler pulls the closet open you can get a glimpse of the actual fonzie jacket he wore in happy days!
What i love about scream is that its not just a killer, it could be anyone, that's what made it such a tense film, you're constantly paying attention to everyone which leads to some pretty scary moments.
One of the best franchises out there! And my personal favorite!
Sidney Prescott is the ultimate Final Girl
Icon.
The reporter asking Sidney how she felt almost being killed when she arrives at school, is Linda Blair from The Exorcist!
Such a good movie i love scream it’s a perfect movie for a fun night with friends and you can talk and goof around and it’s still a great watch all these years later❤
Yeah David arquette and Courtney cox were married from 1999-2013 and have a daughter together named coco arquette (Jennifer Aniston is her God mom) they are still best friends they said there better as friends then they were as a couple also I loved that Matthew lillard adlibbed 90% of the final scene that was freaking phenomenal
You chose a great movie! Love your reactions!
I remember watching this back in the days with my friends, all screaming and laughing out loud.
Perfect horror entertainment!
13:50 Excellent pick up on the Loomis name. Billy was indeed given the last name Loomis to pay homage to our favorite doctor (who ironically was named for a character in Psycho)
this movie became the new benchmark for horror movie in the 90s
I just finished watching Scream for the first time ever and then see your video pop up on my recommended feed. What a coincidence! haha
OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! I woke up from my nap to see this posted. Scream is one of my all time fave franchises. What fun to start another epic group of reactions!! Let's Goooooo!!
this is one of the most important and revolutionary films to ever hit the horror genre and it singl;e-handedly revitalized the slasher film. one of the best films of the 90s, imo.
I just recently got around to watching this whole series and really enjoyed most of them. Skeet Ulrich was a surprise to me as I had no clue he was in this movie and had only ever seen him in the TV show Jericho before. (Also, I don't know if Jericho would gather enough attention to be worth you all watching, but I would love to see your reactions to it.) I think they do a great job of balancing the horror, the fourth wall breaking, and doing a lot with very little in terms of action and suspense. Looking forward to you all watching the rest of this series.
Jericho was such a great show
6:40 the skeet ulrich slander is SICK 😂
This was a great reaction. I love laughing with you guys 😂. So fun. Also I love the fact that ghost face did take a good amount of shots and was very clumsy because, at the end of the day, they were just teenagers. So I thought they did a really good job with that. Ready, willing, and able to watch the next one. Let’s go! 💪
I'm so happy you guys are reacting to the Scream franchise. I know you will have so much fun watching these movies! ❤
p.s. Imo it's better if you leave the "scary movie" franchise for later (I'm saying this because I'm positive you will be asked to react to that too), otherwise some plot points may be spoiled. xx
I was born July 4th 1998, so I recognize everything in the movie as fairly normal, my landline was wired for a little but became one of those none wired ones. I used phone books to call friends and hang out with the kids on my street while biking around. So my young childhood was early 2000s (which is really what people remember the 90's as). It would be really weird to interact with people that don't know what VHS is or how revolutionary a CD is (which are now basically obsolete). I think being born after 2003 (maybe 2005) is about when the internet kids start, I eased into the internet around when I was 12 or so, didn't have a cellphone until 7th grade really, even then I barley used it and only got a smartphone in highschool.
Wild times.
Now when I write stories or make comics I like to place them before smartphones and the widespread use of cellphones. I like that time more, also easier to write for. However I'm actually afraid that stories like that will lose popularity as people will no longer be able to relate or understand a world pre-internet. A time before cellphone reception was a problem and so on. I often watch you guys while I'm doing commissions or drawing/writing and listening to you guys joke about tech and stuff reminded me of all this. I'm probably in that last batch that knows what you mean (not sure when the cut off is, like I said probably 2003?). Not too long until a stories placed in the past are similar to fantasy stories.
I already miss physical like CD's and DVD's. I got a Quest 2 headset not too long ago and you have to buy and download from the online store. Also they made it impossible to sell the games along with the headset. Kind of sucks.
Absolutely one of my favorite slashers. Gotta love how meta it is and Wes Cravens cameo
I saw that Drew Barrymore scene at way too young of an age, in an all glass conservatory, scarred me for years. Wouldn’t even entertain the idea of ever seeing a Scream movie again, thankfully I’m less of a scaredy cat now
This movie was a game changer. All the marketing was set for Drew Barrymore to be the star of the film throughout. But she had a wonderful idea which was to say, what if we just kill me. Do the unexpected, and have the main star die in the beginning. That way you’ll know that no one is safe. It was a selfless thing to do, but it ultimately was brilliant.
Oh yes!!!!!! So happy! This franchise is a classic horror movie!!!! The opening intro IS iconic !Please continue!
In others i want to see them react to Fifty Shade franchise too! LOL
The red-headed reporter that gets in Sydney's face at school was Linda Blair from The Exorcist.
scream was the first horror series that I binged with my siblings and because of that it is one of my favorites that I can watch over and over.
Love the scream franchise. Fun fact- the caretaker who looked like Freddie Kruger is Wes craven 🙂
32:04 I've seen this movie 100 times and never caught that 😂😂🤦🏾♀️
Top tier slasher
Holy shit, I am SO EXCITED!!!
My FAVORITE horror franchise!
🖤🔪🖤
hahaha Lets goooooo
Another cool Easter egg… the reporter who harassed Sidney when she got out of the car is Linda Blair… who played Regan in the Exorcist.
"Is that trueeee?" LOL you guys are hilarious. Going down this scream journey and watching you guys! Enjoying your reactions fellas, keep it up.
