Okay y’all, that was insane! The Scream Franchise lives up to the hype so far! We hope you liked this reaction & if you just can’t get enough of these kinda reactions or want to see it uncut. What did y’all think about this movie? We wanna know ! www.patreon.com/theoctobers also check out the Scary Movie Reaction (we know we were backwards lol we regret it)
@@SweeranSwift yeah I'm a little challenged in the pop culture stuff especially 90's thats what makes this fun lol is that i have nice people of YT to keep me straight lol
fun fact: billy hitting stu with the phone ( 49:34 ) wasn’t in the script, due to the blood on skit’s hand the phone slipped and hit matthew by accident, so he just kept the gig going
It’s funny I knew about that too cause I used to have the dvd growing up and loved all the behind the scenes features I also recognized the Halloween” theme song too when the killer came in the room while Randy was drunk laying on the couch talking to Jamie Lee to look behind her when he needed to be taking his own advice
Actually Rose McGowan could fit through the cat flap even when they downsized it so they stapled her shirt to the garage door to make it look like she was actually struggling to get unstuck. It was so ironic watching Randy saying "Behind you Jamie" to Jamie Lee Curtis in the movie Halloween he was watching because the actor's real name is Jamie Kennedy.
The principal was played by Henry Winkler, best known as Fonzie from Happy Days. The janitor, Fred, was indeed a reference to Freddy Krueger, and was played by Wes Craven himself in that shot.
Also, the obnoxious reporter is played by Linda Blair (the possessed little girl in The Exorcist 1973). She was directed by Wes Craven in Stranger In Our House aka Summer of Night in 1978.
I recommend watching I Know What You Did Last Summer next because Scary Movie parodied that one as well. As a whole, the Scream franchise is consistent in terms of quality with even the weakest entry is still a good movie so I recommend to continue
Yeah when they were trying to find the Scream version of Greg from Scary Movie. I'm like you ain't gonna find it because it's Barry from I know What you did last summer is who he is a spoof of( Shorty is more of a spoof of Randy just different). So that threw them for a curve. And the Doofy twist in Scary Movie did have them questioning a bit but yeah they pretty much had it close to figured out because of seeing Scary Movie first.
It crammed in a whole lot of spoofs. It was equal parts Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, with plenty of The Matrix and The Usual Suspects to boot.
For me as a kid seeing this for the first time it was the chair going through the window and her seeing run past the hallway. The preview for this was done well especially showing GF run past the hallway used effectively well.
Who's the principal?? Ayyyy👍👍..... that's The Fonz (Arthur Fonzarelli) - - a legendary classic TV character from the show Happy Days (1970s/80s). That show also starred a teen-aged Ron Howard (director of Da Vinci Code, Cinderella Man, A Beautiful Mind, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Apollo 13 and more). Henry Winkler (The Fonz) has been in a lot of TV shows and movies, including Barry, Black Adam, Parks and Rec, Little Nicky and The Waterboy (coach). You've probably seen his face before too.
Well, I really hope you do the whole franchise. Unlike other horror franchises, after 3 or 4 movies, doesn't turn to shxt. It remains a very solid franchise, even though one of the sequels isn't that great because it's more of a comedy, and a couple other things. But still a really good movie.
Ugh! Y’all just got a sub for reacting to one of my fav horror films lol! Hopefully you guys liked it enough to watch the whole franchise :). Great vid! Edit: “she looks like that girl from FRIENDS, kinda” lol that’s because she is! Gale is played by Courtney Cox haha
"You sick fucks. You've seen one too many movies!" "Now Sid, don't you blame the movies. Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!" Fun Fact: The use of Caller ID increased more than threefold after the release of this film. What Script Fact: Matthew Lillard ad-libbed the "My mom and dad are going to be so mad at me." line. Director Wes Craven thought it was so funny that he kept it in the film. Scene 118 Fact: 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 cast/crew jokingly called it "The longest night in horror history." and had "I SURVIVED SCENE 118" (which was the name of the scene during shooting) t-shirts made. Bait And Switch Fact: Drew Barrymore was originally cast as Sidney Prescott (eventually played by Neve Campbell). But Drew insisted that if she played Casey, a victim in just the opening scene alone, then it would make the audience think anything could happen. Barrymore being given top billing and appearing on the poster was meant to mislead the audience. Thus one of the most hated horror tropes was created.
Scream references and pays homage to many horror movies, particularly slasher movies from the 70's and 80's. It plays with a lot of the tropes of those movies (don't drink, don't have sex, never say "I'll be right back," etc.), so it pays to have seen a lot of those movies beforehand.
I love that whole scene when Randy (Jamie Kennedy) was watching Halloween by himself and telling Jamie Lee Curtis to turn around that he's behind you lol. Wes wanted to be creative with playing with their really names. He was telling himself that he Jamie needed to turn around lol. The way Wes Craven creates those little things is amazing and brilliant! - Also, I don't know if you caught on to it but the whole last 30ish mins everything that was happening around the house it was perfectly mirroring with what was happening in Halloween lol. The bedroom scene with Sid/Billy, the background music and noices from Halloween when Dewey was in the house searching, Randy on the couch by himself and Sidney yelled out at the same time as Laurie screamed in Halloween which ended up saving Randys life lol, Laurie hiding in a closet as Michael was stabbing through and Sidney also in a closet and stabbed Billy.
This franchise is one of my favorites. It's gonna be awesome to watch you two go through it. I mean, I hope you guys go through it all. There's gonna be bad moments and good moments, but it's a solid story.
You guys make me feel old. This was my 1st rated R horror movie I saw when it came out on the big screen in the cinema back in 1996. And I'm so fortunate to have seen this classic for the first time in the movie theatre. Talk about enjoying every moment.
Well, you’re making us feel young ha, ha ha which isn’t necessarily a great thing because I’m starting to realize we missed out on a lot. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen hands-down it’s one I still think about all the time.
"The rest sucked" is a joke because Wes Craven wrote and directed only the first and seventh _(Wes Craven's New Nightmare)_ and had a partial script and story credit for the third one. My personal favorite is _Wes Craven's New Nighmare,_ and it can actually stand alone if you only want to watch one.
NN was my introduction to the franchise. It was on TV one night and I'd never heard of it before. I ended up watching them all albeit in a random order (renting and catching them on TV)
Another great late-90's horror classic is I Know What You Did Last Summer (with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar), that film and Scream helped revitalized the horror slasher genre!
This is one of the best scream movies out of the entire franchise. I can't wait to enjoy the ride of this wild journey along with you guys as y'all react to all 6 films. 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 are most definitely the craziest ones and I love them all. ❤ Great reaction
I think - operative word being 'THINK', but I'm pretty certain - the reason Doofy was the killer in "Scary Movie" was because everyone thought Dewey was the killer in "Scream"... even before the movie came out. The trailer alone was enough to give that vibe.
The great thing about the Scream films were they were so self aware, in that it even though it is a serious subject they constantly refers to old Horror films and makes reference to the plot of them etc. It also spawned superb sequels, each one of them is great too and well worth a watch. You gotta do all the sequels, the writing is just so clever. Sarah Michelle Gellar ( Buffy herself! ) is in Scream 2, but can't use her slaying powers. Really top female actors in all the Scream films Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox (the constants), Drew Barrymore, Rose McGowan, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Heather Graham, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Rebecca Gayheart, Emily Mortimer, Emma Roberts, Hayden Pannettiere, Anna Paquin, Kristen Bell, Carrie Fisher, Jenna Ortega, and they are just the ones I can remember! The plots are just so clever you will love them. You gotta do all the sequels!, they are great films in their own right.
A little backstory of how Scream got created. Kevin Williamson wrote the story, 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 to much like the KKK so he did the black robe with 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 base line. So many Directors wanted to be apart 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. The title of "Scary Movie" ended up being used for the parody movies since Kevin didn't use it. 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. .
@@TheOctobersReactThe Gainesville Ripper was a real serial killer. Kevin Williamson was house-sitting & he saw something on tv about the real life killer. So Scream was basically loosely based on what happened. There's a Scream documentary that talks more about it.
I've been enjoying watching your r reactions.. Both the movies and your Canada reactions (proud Newfoundlander here). The cast of this movie is a who's who of 90s TV. Charmed, Friends, Party of Five... The principle is Harvey Winkler best remembered as The Fonz on Happy Days.
19:54 Most people don’t know the reporter asking her how it feels to be almost butchered is Linda Blair, who portrayed the possessed child in “The Exorcist”.
The principal is Henry winkler aka the fonz from the show “Happy Days” also the Freddy Krueger janitor is the director Wes craven himself and he also made nightmare on elm street.
You will, hopefully, learn to love Gale Weathers. Yeah, she's rough around the edges - but there's a reason for it. But I'm pretty certain she will grow on you, it just takes a little while. Also, fun fact: Courtney Cox - the actress playing Gale Weathers - and David Arquette (Deputy Dewey) actually met and started dating on the set of Scream. They even eventually got married, but it sadly only lasted 10 - nearly 11, years.
Fun Facts: - So when Tatum said to Dewey that the janitor is your superior, it's true cause the janitor at the school that was dressed as Freddy Krueger was Wes Craven who directed Scream-Scream 4 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 (Billy) from The Craft (1996) was going to appear, she agreed. They did both movies back to back that same year. - 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 awhile. 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. Till this day they're all still good friends and support each other. - 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. Also, it would show if they could kill off a huge star right off the bat it would mean NO ONE was safe. It was the BIGGEST surprise shock effect for the audience cause they assumed she would be the leading character and they played into the with the 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 originally wanted David Arquette to audition for "Billy". But when he heard that Courtney Cox would play "Gale" and that the character of "Dewey" he wanted to play him instead, lol. He had a huge crush on Courtney. They met on this film and started dating during "Scream 2" in 97 and then got married in 99. They ended up getting divorced in 2013. But they are still good friends and good co-parents to their daughter.
The principal is Henry Winkler. He played The Fonz/Fonzie on the tv show Happy Days. The janitor was played by Wes Craven, who was the director of the Scream series AND A Nightmare on Elm St, and yes, he was dressed as Freddy Kruger. Also, that other pushy reporter that yelled "We have the right to know!" is played by Linda Blair, who played Regan, the possessed little girl in The Exorcist.
2:22 when u mentioned u were 4 in 1996.. I thought about it 4 a moment and realized lol.. I was 4 years old too in 1996. I'm thankful I got 2 experience the 90s though man even though I was a kid
Loving y'all's reactions! The first Scream is a bonafide masterpiece in my opinion. Perfect casting, great writing, phenomenal soundtrack, I could go on and on! If I may make a request, y'all should do a reaction to Carrie (1976,) it's another great horror movie.
Other great horror movies like this from the same era include "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer," "Urban Legend," "Urban Legends: Final Cut" (both the IKWYDLS and Urban Legend franchises had 3rd sequels, but they were direct-to-DVD, and took the supernatural route, both were horrible). Also, Joy Ride (2001), Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2.
Yes!!! LOVE ALL these movies..... "Joy Ride" is so underrated.... also "Disturbing Behavior"(1998) is also another great underrated gem .. more on the thriller side but definitely has a scare factor to it!! w/ a bangin 90s Alt Rock soundtrack....... really hope you watch all these!!
No idea how I came across this video but but it was a delightful watch. I’m 40, and remember watching scream when it came out and it was so cool to watch someone else’s reaction. Hilarious you saw the spoof first! The comment about Gale looking like the woman from friends made me almost drop my coffee. I think my favourite Scream fact is that drew Barrymore was supposed to play Sidney. She was the most marketable star at the time and the only film star. She chose to play Casey because if a star can get killed in the opening, all bets are off. That’s why she was front & centre on all the marketing material before the movie came out. People were supposed to think she was the lead and it totally worked! This is something unique for it’s time that I don’t see folks discuss much today.
All the horror slashers followed the rules. No sex drugs or alcohol, never say they will be right back. Odds are they die. I love how the Scream franchise calls out the rules and stereotypes but still follow them.
I have enjoyed this reaction IMMENSELY. Thanks for sharing it with us and I cannot wait to see you watch 2, 3 and 4 😍😍 they are seriously good. A horror franchise with sequels that are constantly good (with Wes Craven directing them). Thats rarity anywhere, especially horror.
1. What I like most about doing this is watching people overthink it. Thank GOD for the twist ending. 2. Cell phones weren't prevalent in 1996. 3. This is a movie to watch if you want to have fun. 4. The principal was the Fonz/Henry Winkler. 5. Tatum/Rose McGowan has permission to sit on my face.😋😍 6. I love how the inept killer keeps getting his ass kicked🤣
I’m just loving ur channel u guys. A good film to react too is brave heart if ur up for suggestions. It’s about Scotland the country I’m from. Not exactly accurate but still a fantastic watch. X
Y'all need to know the Jamie turn around scene is so meta cause the actor playing Randy real name is Jamie (Kennedy) as well. So he's talking to Jamie Lee Curtis and himself .
So since Scary Movie also parodied the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" franchise, some of the characters there was based out of those films. Also really happy that you're reacting to the SCREAM franchise since imo it's one of the most consistent franchise in horror along with Evil Dead.
@@TheOctobersReact the Evil Dead franchise is really interesting because all of the movies are vastly different tone-wise. Like AoD being more of a comedy while Evil Dead is more of a horror movie. I definitely think you should check it out, it's very fun!
So idk if anyone has explained in the comments already but Scary Movie was a parody of both Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The characters Buffy and Greg were based on characters from IKWYDLS. So Shaggy IS supposed to be Ray. Also the hit and run plot from Last Summer was also in Scary Movie.
Fun Facts: The premise for this movie was satire on horror movies. How everyone makes stupid decisions and they trick you into not knowing the killer. (Many inside jokes in the casting and the dialouge. (Tatum talking to Sidney on the porch and she says "It's like some Wes Carpenter movie - that was a nod to Wes Craven and John Carpenter. 2 horror directors) Tatum is played by Rose McGowan, who was one of the first actresses to speak up against the sexual assault charges against Harvey Weinstein(because of that she was pretty much blackballed in Hollywood. The principal is Henry Winkler who played Fonzie on Happy Days. Gale Weather's and officer Dewey are played by Courtney Cox (from friends) and David Arquette. They ended up getting married but have since divorced. Cotton Weary is played by Liev Schreiber. He was a pretty big, well known actor. 🎉 Oh and near the end when Sidney is on the phone with stu and bonks him in the head with the phone... That was actually an accident. But Matthew Lillard just continued on so they kept it in the movie. Oh and when Sidney drops the TV on Stu and says "In Your Dreams" is a nod to Nightmare on Elm Street. Which Patricia Arquette (Dewey's real life sister) is in and her scene is the TV she's watching starts to turn into Freddy, picks her up, and smashes her hear into the TV.
@@TheOctobersReact I would suggest never watching those spoof movies before the actual movies. As the Scary Movie franchise continue it strays away from spoofing 1 film and has scenes from a lot of movies. Watch Scream 2,the watch Scary Movie 2 you will see what I mean. Wait to watch the end credit sequences.There is one of the funniest scenes with Tori Spelling that didn't make it into the movie and to this day I laugh my ass off at it. I can see why it was cut from the movie.
thanks so much. it’s stuck with us bc mr octobers family all have bdays in october (his mom, dad him and sister) and him and his sister have the same bday but they are not born in the same year, crazy!
@@TheOctobersReact wow that’s awesome!! October is my favorite month. I love everything about Halloween, fall and grateful that’s my birth month as well! 🎃
the reason why the original scary movie was so similar to scream is because the original tittle for scream was supposed to be scary movie. so they played very heavily on the fact that they used their original tittle for the parody.
The guy roided guy in scary movie is actually supposed to be Ryan Phillipee's character (the blonde guy) in I Know What You Did Last Summer. It's supposed to be a mix of those two
She didn't run because her parents were coming home. Logically she didn't want her parents to run into this. Strange watching this now and remember how scary this was renting it at blockbuster.
To answer your question, why duey was “goofy” is because that’s actually just how the actor (David arquette) acts in real life and it’s gotten worse thru the years. Scary movie “doofy” is actually making fun of the actor “David” David was never meant to act goofy and dumb in this role, but his real personality would leak out on screen😂😂
Don't you know the rules. Never try to figure out the movie from a parody always watch the source material first. The parody combines Scream and I know what you did last summer.
The principal is “ The Fonz” from “ happy Days “ - The reporter talking the murder of Casey and her boyfriend was Linda Blair from “ The Exorcist” - Wes Craven played the janitor - Dewey kept showing up in scenes he knew Gale would be in cause they fell in love for real on the set of this movie so it gave him a chance to see her throughout the movie and wanted to be her hero and after the directors of “ Charmed “ saw Rose McGowan in this movie They made a role for her as Paige Matthews in seasons 4- 8 cause they knew she was the perfect fit for the part She was their half baby sister
Ik this was mentioned a lot of times but it’s one of my fav fun facts;The actors David Arquette(Dewey Ryley)and Courtney Cox(Gale Weathers)did actually met during the first scream movie’s set hence their chemistry and eventually ended up getting married what not everyone mentioned is that they actually had a daughter together in 2004 called Coco Arquette
When you asked how Sidney found that small exit in the van...if you pay close attention Kenny the cameraman points her in that direction to help her escape.
Thanks, Mrs. & Mr. October! 👻 This was unique in how self-referential it was. It was also commended for having so much solid comedy mixed into the tension. That kind of humor is more commonplace, now. #TheOctobers #WesCraven #Scream #Scream1996
Okay y’all, that was insane! The Scream Franchise lives up to the hype so far! We hope you liked this reaction & if you just can’t get enough of these kinda reactions or want to see it uncut. What did y’all think about this movie? We wanna know !

This is awesome
Watch them all in order they are worth the watch for sure.❤
"she looks like the girl from Friends kinda"...too funny. It is.😂
ahhh i saw on the comments and said omggggg foot in mouth!
She wanted to play a mean character to not be typecast as nice character
That is the girl from friends. Her name is courtney cox.
@@TheOctobersReacteah She IS the girl From Friends Aka Monica Geller
@@SweeranSwift yeah I'm a little challenged in the pop culture stuff especially 90's thats what makes this fun lol is that i have nice people of YT to keep me straight lol
fun fact: billy hitting stu with the phone ( 49:34 ) wasn’t in the script, due to the blood on skit’s hand the phone slipped and hit matthew by accident, so he just kept the gig going
wow that’s actually funny
It’s funny I knew about that too cause I used to have the dvd growing up and loved all the behind the scenes features I also recognized the Halloween” theme song too when the killer came in the room while Randy was drunk laying on the couch talking to Jamie Lee to look behind her when he needed to be taking his own advice
@@aprilhubbard2696And the actor's real name is Jamie, making that scene even more meta and funny.
"I want to know who I'm looking at" is the scariest line from my childhood
Actually Rose McGowan could fit through the cat flap even when they downsized it so they stapled her shirt to the garage door to make it look like she was actually struggling to get unstuck.
It was so ironic watching Randy saying "Behind you Jamie" to Jamie Lee Curtis in the movie Halloween he was watching because the actor's real name is Jamie Kennedy.
wow we thought she could!
It's a creative death, but Rose could've easily killed him in that scene.
The principal was played by Henry Winkler, best known as Fonzie from Happy Days.
The janitor, Fred, was indeed a reference to Freddy Krueger, and was played by Wes Craven himself in that shot.
Also, the obnoxious reporter is played by Linda Blair (the possessed little girl in The Exorcist 1973). She was directed by Wes Craven in Stranger In Our House aka Summer of Night in 1978.
He’s also killing it on Barry these days! He’s had an amazing resurgence
I recommend watching I Know What You Did Last Summer next because Scary Movie parodied that one as well. As a whole, the Scream franchise is consistent in terms of quality with even the weakest entry is still a good movie so I recommend to continue
Yeah when they were trying to find the Scream version of Greg from Scary Movie. I'm like you ain't gonna find it because it's Barry from I know What you did last summer is who he is a spoof of( Shorty is more of a spoof of Randy just different). So that threw them for a curve. And the Doofy twist in Scary Movie did have them questioning a bit but yeah they pretty much had it close to figured out because of seeing Scary Movie first.
It crammed in a whole lot of spoofs. It was equal parts Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, with plenty of The Matrix and The Usual Suspects to boot.
IKWYDLS is a great suggestion.
I graduated from high school this year. We had beeper, no cell phones and you were really lucky to have a home computer.
Wes Craven plays the janitor, Fred, in this.
WHAT! that’s awesome
For me as a kid seeing this for the first time it was the chair going through the window and her seeing run past the hallway. The preview for this was done well especially showing GF run past the hallway used effectively well.
Who's the principal?? Ayyyy👍👍..... that's The Fonz (Arthur Fonzarelli) - - a legendary classic TV character from the show Happy Days (1970s/80s). That show also starred a teen-aged Ron Howard (director of Da Vinci Code, Cinderella Man, A Beautiful Mind, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Apollo 13 and more). Henry Winkler (The Fonz) has been in a lot of TV shows and movies, including Barry, Black Adam, Parks and Rec, Little Nicky and The Waterboy (coach). You've probably seen his face before too.
Well, I really hope you do the whole franchise. Unlike other horror franchises, after 3 or 4 movies, doesn't turn to shxt. It remains a very solid franchise, even though one of the sequels isn't that great because it's more of a comedy, and a couple other things. But still a really good movie.
we plan on it! we enjoyed it thoroughly!
A lot of them are bad in the first movie. _Scream_ is really good, though, and consistently good.
Pt 4 is my second favorite after this one
The Reporter asking Sidney how does it feel to be almost brutally butchered is Linda Blair. She was the possessed little girl in The Exorcist (1973)
Page 54 priceless lol if the girl in the garage took that shovel to him when he was down it would have saved a lot of time lol
22:06 This line is amazingly well delivered by Neve Campbell; great actress!
yes we agree!
31:53 "she looks like that girl from Friends"... because she's her xD
Ugh! Y’all just got a sub for reacting to one of my fav horror films lol! Hopefully you guys liked it enough to watch the whole franchise :). Great vid!
Edit: “she looks like that girl from FRIENDS, kinda” lol that’s because she is! Gale is played by Courtney Cox haha
i knew there was something about her !
"You sick fucks. You've seen one too many movies!"
"Now Sid, don't you blame the movies. Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!"
Fun Fact: The use of Caller ID increased more than threefold after the release of this film.
What Script Fact: Matthew Lillard ad-libbed the "My mom and dad are going to be so mad at me." line. Director Wes Craven thought it was so funny that he kept it in the film.
Scene 118 Fact: 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 cast/crew jokingly called it "The longest night in horror history." and had "I SURVIVED SCENE 118" (which was the name of the scene during shooting) t-shirts made.
Bait And Switch Fact: Drew Barrymore was originally cast as Sidney Prescott (eventually played by Neve Campbell). But Drew insisted that if she played Casey, a victim in just the opening scene alone, then it would make the audience think anything could happen. Barrymore being given top billing and appearing on the poster was meant to mislead the audience. Thus one of the most hated horror tropes was created.
thanks big gator! this one was great
As always, my pleasure. 😁
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
also that’s crazy i like they did with drew barrymore i was shocked she wasn’t in the movie the whole time bc the poster
Interestingly, now everyone always says who would entertain the conversation in the beginning, but it wasn't weird at all for the 90s.
@@ChadSimpson-ft7yznowadays lots entertain weird convos but via text or online messaging instead of phone calls.
Scream references and pays homage to many horror movies, particularly slasher movies from the 70's and 80's. It plays with a lot of the tropes of those movies (don't drink, don't have sex, never say "I'll be right back," etc.), so it pays to have seen a lot of those movies beforehand.
yes i see that. but i like that they have “scary movie rules”
I love that whole scene when Randy (Jamie Kennedy) was watching Halloween by himself and telling Jamie Lee Curtis to turn around that he's behind you lol. Wes wanted to be creative with playing with their really names. He was telling himself that he Jamie needed to turn around lol. The way Wes Craven creates those little things is amazing and brilliant!
- Also, I don't know if you caught on to it but the whole last 30ish mins everything that was happening around the house it was perfectly mirroring with what was happening in Halloween lol. The bedroom scene with Sid/Billy, the background music and noices from Halloween when Dewey was in the house searching, Randy on the couch by himself and Sidney yelled out at the same time as Laurie screamed in Halloween which ended up saving Randys life lol, Laurie hiding in a closet as Michael was stabbing through and Sidney also in a closet and stabbed Billy.
we haven’t seen halloween yet. so i cannot wait to see it now
That was a long comment explaining how Jamie is telling Jamie to look behind him lol.
This franchise is one of my favorites. It's gonna be awesome to watch you two go through it. I mean, I hope you guys go through it all. There's gonna be bad moments and good moments, but it's a solid story.
we like it if the story gets better wow i wouldn’t know what to think bc i like the parody of a scary movie but actually a scary movie feel to it
You guys make me feel old. This was my 1st rated R horror movie I saw when it came out on the big screen in the cinema back in 1996. And I'm so fortunate to have seen this classic for the first time in the movie theatre. Talk about enjoying every moment.
Well, you’re making us feel young ha, ha ha which isn’t necessarily a great thing because I’m starting to realize we missed out on a lot. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen hands-down it’s one I still think about all the time.
Haha same here. I remember renting it at blockbuster haha.
"The rest sucked" is a joke because Wes Craven wrote and directed only the first and seventh _(Wes Craven's New Nightmare)_ and had a partial script and story credit for the third one. My personal favorite is _Wes Craven's New Nighmare,_ and it can actually stand alone if you only want to watch one.
i love the suggestion but mr october is all about some friday the 13th so i think we will end up watching all of them!
@HuntingViolets - Wes Craven's New Nightmare was the 7th film in the franchise, not the 6th(that was Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare)
////
NN was my introduction to the franchise. It was on TV one night and I'd never heard of it before. I ended up watching them all albeit in a random order (renting and catching them on TV)
@@TheOctobersReact Oh, well, good luck.
@@FreddyKurganNimmo Oops, I'll edit.
That opening scene is how you launch a franchise!
Another great late-90's horror classic is I Know What You Did Last Summer (with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar), that film and Scream helped revitalized the horror slasher genre!
yes we are checking that out asap!
@@TheOctobersReactDONT FORGET PART 2 TOO!
This is one of the best scream movies out of the entire franchise. I can't wait to enjoy the ride of this wild journey along with you guys as y'all react to all 6 films. 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 are most definitely the craziest ones and I love them all. ❤ Great reaction
we will check them out no worries ! we prob will love them all as well. thanks for watching !
@@TheOctobersReact Yes you have to. And no problem brother. 🙏🏻
Scream 3 is pretty great too.
I do think that Scream 3 is the weakest of the movies though.
Well the 4th has the worst young cast! So boring and tasteless, poor deaths the only was the Sidney's publicist
Highly recommend adding thirteen ghosts (2001) to your list. It has matthew lillard and is in my opinion so tense and scary but So great.
okay definitely will add that for sure
Thirteen ghost is a great movie
@@zipporahlewis4908 yes we are going to watch it for sure!
I think - operative word being 'THINK', but I'm pretty certain - the reason Doofy was the killer in "Scary Movie" was because everyone thought Dewey was the killer in "Scream"... even before the movie came out. The trailer alone was enough to give that vibe.
And it's a nod* to the reveal in The Usual Suspects
The great thing about the Scream films were they were so self aware, in that it even though it is a serious subject they constantly refers to old Horror films and makes reference to the plot of them etc. It also spawned superb sequels, each one of them is great too and well worth a watch. You gotta do all the sequels, the writing is just so clever. Sarah Michelle Gellar ( Buffy herself! ) is in Scream 2, but can't use her slaying powers. Really top female actors in all the Scream films Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox (the constants), Drew Barrymore, Rose McGowan, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Heather Graham, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Rebecca Gayheart, Emily Mortimer, Emma Roberts, Hayden Pannettiere, Anna Paquin, Kristen Bell, Carrie Fisher, Jenna Ortega, and they are just the ones I can remember! The plots are just so clever you will love them. You gotta do all the sequels!, they are great films in their own right.
love ! thanks for all that! we like these so far can’t wait to see who else we come across
Where was Heather Graham. I'm drawing a total blank and its killing me.
@@clevelandcbi 7 months late to the party, but Heather Graham is in Scream 2 (very briefly) playing Casey Becker in 'Stab'.
Finally, people who watch good movies and have even better reactions. Now I gotta watch all your videos.
We appreciate you! You're at one of our earlier ones so thanks for being a trooper! Thanks for watching!
‘The perfect murder porch’ really got me! It was said so casually hahaha 😂😂😂
LOVE that yall put the titles for the movie!
thanks we didn’t notice we did that but now that you said something we will keep on
SCREAM 1 MASTERPIECE I SAW IT 8 TIMES IN THEATERS
A little backstory of how Scream got created.
Kevin Williamson wrote the story, 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 to much like the KKK so he did the black robe with 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 base line. So many Directors wanted to be apart 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.
The title of "Scary Movie" ended up being used for the parody movies since Kevin didn't use it. 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. .
wow thanks for sharing that. so he was basically real it’s kind of a play on a true story?
@@TheOctobersReactThe Gainesville Ripper was a real serial killer. Kevin Williamson was house-sitting & he saw something on tv about the real life killer.
So Scream was basically loosely based on what happened. There's a Scream documentary that talks more about it.
@@fandomgaymertransgirl2.0 i think i saw it on Max! we will check it out bc wow so cool and interesting thanks y’all
@@TheOctobersReact You're welcome. There's two Scream documentaries about how the films were made: Still Screaming & Scream: The Inside Story.
That is the girl from friends! She played Monica!
it was the highlights they threw me off!!!
I've been enjoying watching your r reactions.. Both the movies and your Canada reactions (proud Newfoundlander here).
The cast of this movie is a who's who of 90s TV. Charmed, Friends, Party of Five... The principle is Harvey Winkler best remembered as The Fonz on Happy Days.
awww we never watched Happy Days but thanks for being awesome. ❤️ and thanks for watching !!
Pretty sure scream is the reason why caller ID sales went up. Great reaction btw!
Also scary movie was a parody of scream, I know what you did last summer and the usual suspects
that’s a cool thing forreal lol maybe it was a marketing strategy
19:54 Most people don’t know the reporter asking her how it feels to be almost butchered is Linda Blair, who portrayed the possessed child in “The Exorcist”.
crazy!
Well now you gotta do the whole Scream trilogy. 😊
No. The hole Franchise.
It isn’t a trilogy since there’s 6 Scream movies meaning it’s a whole franchise
@@caelum_eti_2007It pretty much is a trilogy.
I love the Scream movies…hope you watch them all:)
I'm glad both of you liked this movie so much, that gives me hope we get your reaction to the sequel too, aniway I hope so.
The principal is Henry winkler aka the fonz from the show “Happy Days” also the Freddy Krueger janitor is the director Wes craven himself and he also made nightmare on elm street.
some super cool cameos!
Also fun fact the same guy who created scream also created Dawson's creek.
You guys Rock. Love how you really get into the movies, voting for the next video to be Psycho or work up to The Exorcist
49:34 That was an actual mistake, Matthew Lillard improvised. LOL!
You will, hopefully, learn to love Gale Weathers. Yeah, she's rough around the edges - but there's a reason for it. But I'm pretty certain she will grow on you, it just takes a little while. Also, fun fact: Courtney Cox - the actress playing Gale Weathers - and David Arquette (Deputy Dewey) actually met and started dating on the set of Scream. They even eventually got married, but it sadly only lasted 10 - nearly 11, years.
that explains their good chemistry!
Fun Facts:
- So when Tatum said to Dewey that the janitor is your superior, it's true cause the janitor at the school that was dressed as Freddy Krueger was Wes Craven who directed Scream-Scream 4 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 (Billy) from The Craft (1996) was going to appear, she agreed. They did both movies back to back that same year.
- 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 awhile. 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. Till this day they're all still good friends and support each other.
- 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. Also, it would show if they could kill off a huge star right off the bat it would mean NO ONE was safe. It was the BIGGEST surprise shock effect for the audience cause they assumed she would be the leading character and they played into the with the 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 originally wanted David Arquette to audition for "Billy". But when he heard that Courtney Cox would play "Gale" and that the character of "Dewey" he wanted to play him instead, lol. He had a huge crush on Courtney. They met on this film and started dating during "Scream 2" in 97 and then got married in 99. They ended up getting divorced in 2013. But they are still good friends and good co-parents to their daughter.
thanks for all that. i love info like this it’s soo cool! you guys know more back info and i can’t look it up prior bc i didn’t want any spoilers
The principal is Henry Winkler. He played The Fonz/Fonzie on the tv show Happy Days. The janitor was played by Wes Craven, who was the director of the Scream series AND A Nightmare on Elm St, and yes, he was dressed as Freddy Kruger. Also, that other pushy reporter that yelled "We have the right to know!" is played by Linda Blair, who played Regan, the possessed little girl in The Exorcist.
2:22 when u mentioned u were 4 in 1996.. I thought about it 4 a moment and realized lol.. I was 4 years old too in 1996. I'm thankful I got 2 experience the 90s though man even though I was a kid
1992 baby? us too! yes us too. some simple simple times lol when we tell our kids about dial up they are beside themselves lol
@@TheOctobersReact I hear you. Yeah, indeed I am a 90s baby too😁✊
Fun fact about the “Jamie turn around” scene is that actors name is Jamie Kennedy.
i love that you guys know this bc things like that make this movie even more interesting !
Loving y'all's reactions! The first Scream is a bonafide masterpiece in my opinion. Perfect casting, great writing, phenomenal soundtrack, I could go on and on! If I may make a request, y'all should do a reaction to Carrie (1976,) it's another great horror movie.
yes it’s on our list!
9:05 “I know this song”
It’s a cover of Don’t fear the reaper. Wink wink nudge nudge
Welcome to the Screamdom. Subscribed.
49:33 Okay I'm glad it's not just me that finds it so fkn funny when Billy throws the phone at him. 😂
41:47 he sounds like he hasn't seen Halloween. Have you not? If so, there's your next movie! CLASSIC lol
yeah we have to now
Other great horror movies like this from the same era include "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer," "Urban Legend," "Urban Legends: Final Cut" (both the IKWYDLS and Urban Legend franchises had 3rd sequels, but they were direct-to-DVD, and took the supernatural route, both were horrible). Also, Joy Ride (2001), Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2.
awesome list we will def add these to our horror list! thanks for the suggestions!
Yes!!! LOVE ALL these movies..... "Joy Ride" is so underrated.... also "Disturbing Behavior"(1998) is also another great underrated gem .. more on the thriller side but definitely has a scare factor to it!! w/ a bangin 90s Alt Rock soundtrack....... really hope you watch all these!!
AGREED 1000000% !!!
Watching the parody of a movie before the actual movie it’s parodying is a bold strategy
yes it was the incorrect one we learned lol
Glad you enjoyed it. Can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of the franchise.
we can’t either, thanks for watching !!
No idea how I came across this video but but it was a delightful watch. I’m 40, and remember watching scream when it came out and it was so cool to watch someone else’s reaction. Hilarious you saw the spoof first! The comment about Gale looking like the woman from friends made me almost drop my coffee.
I think my favourite Scream fact is that drew Barrymore was supposed to play Sidney. She was the most marketable star at the time and the only film star. She chose to play Casey because if a star can get killed in the opening, all bets are off. That’s why she was front & centre on all the marketing material before the movie came out. People were supposed to think she was the lead and it totally worked! This is something unique for it’s time that I don’t see folks discuss much today.
thank you and absolutely we agree about drew barrymore! thanks for watching
i am so glad you both like it so much its my favorite slasher scary movie.
Subscribed! Great reaction yall. This is my all-time favorite movie. I hope yall react to the rest of the movies in the series.
100% plan on it and thanks so much ❤️
The principal was the fonz from happy days
All the horror slashers followed the rules. No sex drugs or alcohol, never say they will be right back. Odds are they die. I love how the Scream franchise calls out the rules and stereotypes but still follow them.
Saying they should have run out the door but go up the stairs
I have enjoyed this reaction IMMENSELY. Thanks for sharing it with us and I cannot wait to see you watch 2, 3 and 4 😍😍 they are seriously good. A horror franchise with sequels that are constantly good (with Wes Craven directing them). Thats rarity anywhere, especially horror.
1. What I like most about doing this is watching people overthink it. Thank GOD for the twist ending.
2. Cell phones weren't prevalent in 1996.
3. This is a movie to watch if you want to have fun.
4. The principal was the Fonz/Henry Winkler.
5. Tatum/Rose McGowan has permission to sit on my face.😋😍
6. I love how the inept killer keeps getting his ass kicked🤣
My favorite horror franchise
yes we like it too! so far!
I could see yall were thinking of the scary movie scene when Sidney was talking to her dad..then you confirmed it! lol
You guys gotta watch "I know what you did last summer" Scream & That movie best embodies what scary movie references a lot
it’s on our list and high on our list! so stay tuned itlll be out sooner than later!
The whole SCREAM franchise is so amazing, like the the sixth installment came out this year and it's so good
CANT WAIT TO SEEE IT!!
5 and 6 aren't that good, but the opening of 6 was original.
I’m just loving ur channel u guys. A good film to react too is brave heart if ur up for suggestions. It’s about Scotland the country I’m from. Not exactly accurate but still a fantastic watch. X
henry winkler aka the principal is best known for playing Fozzy on Happy Days
Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet but...
Fred the janitor was Wes Craven in disguise.
yes a few did but we still love that you knew that bc we had no idea, really cool!
Y'all need to know the Jamie turn around scene is so meta cause the actor playing Randy real name is Jamie (Kennedy) as well. So he's talking to Jamie Lee Curtis and himself .
i like the phrase meta you used !!
The “road rage” guy from Scary Movie based off the character from “I Know What You Did Last Summer “
we saw! we are going to check it out for sure !
When this film was released, I was 13 years old.
Him "I hope she gets got" me SHE'S GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE END BABY
lol i know i personally like gale -mrs o!
@@TheOctobersReact I knew by the end of the movie y'all was gone be riding for Mrs. Weatherss!
So since Scary Movie also parodied the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" franchise, some of the characters there was based out of those films.
Also really happy that you're reacting to the SCREAM franchise since imo it's one of the most consistent franchise in horror along with Evil Dead.
i seen a few people tell us to watch evil dead it just looks so so scary!
@@TheOctobersReact the Evil Dead franchise is really interesting because all of the movies are vastly different tone-wise. Like AoD being more of a comedy while Evil Dead is more of a horror movie. I definitely think you should check it out, it's very fun!
So idk if anyone has explained in the comments already but Scary Movie was a parody of both Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The characters Buffy and Greg were based on characters from IKWYDLS. So Shaggy IS supposed to be Ray. Also the hit and run plot from Last Summer was also in Scary Movie.
yes we have to check that out next
Fun Facts: The premise for this movie was satire on horror movies. How everyone makes stupid decisions and they trick you into not knowing the killer. (Many inside jokes in the casting and the dialouge. (Tatum talking to Sidney on the porch and she says "It's like some Wes Carpenter movie - that was a nod to Wes Craven and John Carpenter. 2 horror directors)
Tatum is played by Rose McGowan, who was one of the first actresses to speak up against the sexual assault charges against Harvey Weinstein(because of that she was pretty much blackballed in Hollywood.
The principal is Henry Winkler who played Fonzie on Happy Days. Gale Weather's and officer Dewey are played by Courtney Cox (from friends) and David Arquette. They ended up getting married but have since divorced.
Cotton Weary is played by Liev Schreiber. He was a pretty big, well known actor. 🎉
Oh and near the end when Sidney is on the phone with stu and bonks him in the head with the phone... That was actually an accident. But Matthew Lillard just continued on so they kept it in the movie.
Oh and when Sidney drops the TV on Stu and says "In Your Dreams" is a nod to Nightmare on Elm Street. Which Patricia Arquette (Dewey's real life sister) is in and her scene is the TV she's watching starts to turn into Freddy, picks her up, and smashes her hear into the TV.
yeah their constantly bringing up the scary movie thing was the creepiest part!
@@TheOctobersReact I would suggest never watching those spoof movies before the actual movies. As the Scary Movie franchise continue it strays away from spoofing 1 film and has scenes from a lot of movies. Watch Scream 2,the watch Scary Movie 2 you will see what I mean. Wait to watch the end credit sequences.There is one of the funniest scenes with Tori Spelling that didn't make it into the movie and to this day I laugh my ass off at it. I can see why it was cut from the movie.
“Dewey’s Theme is the cool western music . Scream 2 soundtrack.
Roid Rage guy is based on a character from I Know What You Did Last Summer. Which was also written by Scream writer Kevin Williamson
Just came across your channel and I love your channel name! 😄
Also, you’re going to love this franchise! IMO there’s really no bad movie, all 6 are great in their own ways!
thanks so much. it’s stuck with us bc mr octobers family all have bdays in october (his mom, dad him and sister) and him and his sister have the same bday but they are not born in the same year, crazy!
can’t wait !
@@TheOctobersReact wow that’s awesome!! October is my favorite month. I love everything about Halloween, fall and grateful that’s my birth month as well! 🎃
You MUST watch them all. Such an iconic franchise. Also, you will come to love Gayle as the movies go on.
the reason why the original scary movie was so similar to scream is because the original tittle for scream was supposed to be scary movie. so they played very heavily on the fact that they used their original tittle for the parody.
Idk if you guys knew this, but if you listen closely, during the staircase chase scene at 14:54 you can hear Stu’s voice saying, “easy, easy”
NO! that’s so creepy!
The guy roided guy in scary movie is actually supposed to be Ryan Phillipee's character (the blonde guy) in I Know What You Did Last Summer. It's supposed to be a mix of those two
1 and 4 are the best of the franchise. So excited to see ur reactions to the 4
can’t wait either ❤️
honestly the phone throwing scene in the end im still not sure if that was planned, but its one of the funniest things ive seen in a movie
it was good that’s for sure !!
She didn't run because her parents were coming home. Logically she didn't want her parents to run into this. Strange watching this now and remember how scary this was renting it at blockbuster.
To answer your question, why duey was “goofy” is because that’s actually just how the actor (David arquette) acts in real life and it’s gotten worse thru the years.
Scary movie “doofy” is actually making fun of the actor “David”
David was never meant to act goofy and dumb in this role, but his real personality would leak out on screen😂😂
Awww haha i love that tho. but SM made so much fun of that poor dude
Randy is Shorty.
Shaggy is Ray.
Bobby is Bobby.
😂😂😂
Don't you know the rules. Never try to figure out the movie from a parody always watch the source material first. The parody combines Scream and I know what you did last summer.
yes we broke the rules on accident we regret it
Thank you! The comments about who-was-who made my brain itch.
Fun fact the actor telling, Jamie to turn around is named Jamie Kennedy
The principal is “ The Fonz” from
“ happy Days “ - The reporter talking the murder of Casey and her boyfriend was Linda Blair from “ The Exorcist” - Wes Craven played the janitor - Dewey kept showing up in scenes he knew Gale would be in cause they fell in love for real on the set of this movie so it gave him a chance to see her throughout the movie and wanted to be her hero and after the directors of “ Charmed “ saw Rose McGowan in this movie They made a role for her as Paige Matthews in seasons 4- 8 cause they knew she was the perfect fit for the part She was their half baby sister
we need to check out the Exorcist!
Sounds cool since you did this and “ Insidious” It would fall right in line - so it sounds perfect
Ik this was mentioned a lot of times but it’s one of my fav fun facts;The actors David Arquette(Dewey Ryley)and Courtney Cox(Gale Weathers)did actually met during the first scream movie’s set hence their chemistry and eventually ended up getting married what not everyone mentioned is that they actually had a daughter together in 2004 called Coco Arquette
aw i love that! thanks for sharing that!

What was cool about scary movie was not only were they making fun of this movie they were also huge fans too.

When you asked how Sidney found that small exit in the van...if you pay close attention Kenny the cameraman points her in that direction to help her escape.
dang missed that part but go kenny!
Awesome reaction. You’re going to love the 2nd one. 🎉

This is an epic franchise. This is the one that started it off. The rest are a must watch the amazing.
100% we are doing it
Thanks, Mrs. & Mr. October! 👻 This was unique in how self-referential it was. It was also commended for having so much solid comedy mixed into the tension. That kind of humor is more commonplace, now. #TheOctobers #WesCraven #Scream #Scream1996

@@TheOctobersReact I love it, too! I think it may be my favorite of the entire saga, thus far.
