I’ve generally been very cautious of all mainstream horror franchises over the years. I’ve seen a few movies of each franchise here and there, and the ones that I have seen didn’t exactly lead me to want to see more. But as of recently, a lot of mainstream horror franchises have gotten sequels or reboots that have been met with a fair bit of praise. One of those of course is Scream.

Not sure if anyone pointed this out yet but Tara is not Billy's kid. He was dead by the time she was born and is actually their unknown dad's child that Sam explained left in Scream 5

I feel like this analysis doesn't appreciate enough that back in 2011 Jill was fully hyped up and advertised as the next final girl, and that when she was revealed as the killer who's motive was to become internet famous as a victim people thought it was totally stupid and unrealistic.

Now here we are. Scream 4 was incredibly ahead of its time, Jill was an iconic reveal and Kirby was always intended as the stealth final girl.

Courtney Cox was an executive producer on Scream 6 so thats why shes in that movie! Also Wes Craven intentially left Kirby's death open ended so she could possibly come back!

Some nitpick regarding the prologues using characters that will never appear again: when the first "Scream" came out, Drew Barrymore was one of the most well-known actors in the cast, and she had a prominent billing, so they deliberately used her to trick the audience into thinking she would be the final girl, only to be killed at the end of her scene. It was a way of saying "This is going to be a different type of slasher movie, and anyone can die!"

I love how in the the first 2 movies the extent of the vfx was a car crash and such but by the third movie they just were like "yea lets blow up an entire freaking house"

I never understood why people didn't like Scream 4, i always really liked it lol i definitely get the issues with the interference from the executives, for sure. But i cant talk too much, i was a hater of Scream 3 for a while but ive grown to really like it (flaws and all). I will say the actual storyline we were supposed to get from Scream 4-6 is very interesting and i wish we got that. I do love Scream 5 and 6 either way but the thought of a killer surviving is a cool concept for this franchise.

Not at all more credit than the franchise deserves, it is one of the most consistent horror franchises ever. Rather any Scream movie than concepts like characters going to space and so on.

I think the “ suspect “ characters in both scream 5 and 6 could’ve been written better. They just feel like their just in the script to be in the beginning and final act

Not sure if anyone mentioned it but when Billy sneaks into Sidney's bedroom and make out with her the background song is a cover of "Don't Fear the Reaper" which the og version was used in Halloween so it kind of teases the reveal at the end of the film

3:25 one things thats so funny and is so cool to me about Scream as a franchise is that Liev Schreiber actually is in Scream (1996) - so you are correct when saying he’s in Scream. he just is literally an extra with 0 lines but they kept great continuity and brought him back for the sequels with a much larger role.

41:30 the idea that there was another secret killer that was able to get away with it could be interesting.

@Maxwell_FromTheLand 1 year ago

Well tbh after watching Scream movies my whole life, peaky blinder’s use of Red Right Hand is really jarring.

@SceneWins 2 years ago

Jamie Kennedy (actor name) saying Jamie Lee Curtis (actress name) while saying “behind you” is just top tier best meta ever.

We can only hope Scream 7 gets picked up by a different studio. Such a shame.

@Sir_Slimbread 2 years ago

Stu has a chance of coming back for the same reason Kirby did.
In Scream 5, a computer screen confirmed Kirby survived Scream 4, and I believe on the same screen there was an article/webpage talking about how Stu was theorized to be alive.
There's honestly a 50/50 shot he's alive.

The Backwards Scream Poster On The Thumbnail Is Messing With Me😂

The rule of gold with the "Scream" franchise is that if you don't scream. It's not a good "Scream" movie.

@batsaubattler3200 8 months ago

That opening for scream 6 was awesome I kinda wished they went with that concept

@comedygod522 2 years ago

I was waiting for you to mention the situation going on with Scream 7. In all honesty, I'm not excited about it, and i honestly hope that nobody returns and the cast stands behind Melissa Barrera because she deserves so much better, she got hated on and bullied by pretty intensely by the fans of the franchise and Scream 6 made her a fan-favorite. Then she gets fired for speaking out, and the only way i would get excited again is if Spyglass rehires Melissa and apologizes to her. This franchise really fell apart due to studio greed, interference, and false accusations.
