SCREAM WAS SO MUCH FUN!! 🔪🩸 Blake had his face covered for half of the movie... He's not ready for what else we have planned! 😱 Check back every week of October for more horror reactions! 🎃
For reference... No, it was definitely not common for highschoolers to have a cell phone at that point. In 1997, cell phones were for people who owned their own businesses and people who needed to contact their children at home when working long hours. Lol it wasn't even common for most parents to have one at that point in time
@@eyden1562 😂you are the only person to have noticed that even though it's been my profile pic on everything for about 10 years! Finally found a kindred spirit!
@@d.w.strangeman4963 That's awesome hahhaha. To be honest, I lost a very close friend at the young age of 23. But I have a picture of him with a hat & sunglasses on, and a cig hanging from his mouth. We always joked that he looked just like Johnny Depp as Hunter. 😂 It's a really fond memory, so Hunter Thompson holds a special nostalgia for me. 😊
@@eyden1562 sorry for your loss. Most people think it's just a caricature of me. I hope it leaves you with fond memories of him, rather than some random bloke leaving comments on RUclips 🥰
3 things: 1. No one ever talks about how Kenny dies a hero. He doesn't hesitate to jump up and try and save Randy when he thinks Randy's in trouble, he hesitates when he sees the door and remembers the delay. He then uses his dying breath to point out how Sidney can get away. Justice for Kenny! RIP 2. I watch a lot of Scream reacts, saw it in theaters opening weekend in 96. No one, including me, ever notices the dolls hanged with a noose in the attic. This movie goes out of its way to tell you who done it. It's one of those movies you can rewatch 100 times and still find something new. 3. I love that the survivors all broke a rule Randy states at the party. Gale says "I'll be right back" to Kenny, Randy drinks and Sid does the deed. Brilliant writing to subvert the genre.
@@terogates1 watch the scene where GF chases Sid around Stus house. When she enters the attic there's a doll hung by a noose in the attic as she runs to the window just over her shoulder.
@@JesusStJamesDR @terogates1 In fact, there are more than one doll hung by a noose... There are several dolls and each one is in the position that the people they murdered along the film (before the party night) were put by them to be found
Why do people always complain about "the ending is too long"? Do people just want to see the same formula over and over? That ending is so creative, we got to see real behavior from psycho killers.
Eventually she was basically nailed in, and since she didn't believe she had a good scream, she instead chose her last moment to be crying out for her Mom... Which hurts more, knowing she's a few feet from her brother crying...MOM!
Knowing the background of how they marketed the movie is huge. They asked Drew Barrymore to be the star of the franchise and she pushed to be the opening kill instead of playing Sidney because she said it would be more impactful. They gave her the opening kill character but marketed the movie as though she was the star, so everyone walked into the theatre thinking they were watching a Drew horror movie and were shocked. It completely revamped and revitalized the horror genre. The impact can't be understated. You guys should really watch the rest of the films as a reaction as well.
Fun fact, the line from Matthew Lillard at end when Billy hits him with the phone is improvised. When they filmed the scene, the fake blood on his hand made the phone slip out and hit him and he said that and they left it in because they thought it was funny.
“Fred” the janitor was played by director Wes Craven, who wrote and directed the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Also, when Randy is on the couch watching Halloween and imploring “Jamie” to look behind her… ironically he is played by Jamie Kennedy so this adds another level of meta
Adding to the point of Wes Craven creating A Nightmare on Elm Street there was a slight dig at that franchise at the beginning of the movie. When Casie is talking to the killer and guesses his favorite movie was Nightmare the killer says that he liked that one because it was scary and her response was "Well the first one was but the rest all suck." Wes Craven had only directed the first movie until he returned to the franchise about a decade later with New Nightmare.
I love how many horror movie references there are in Scream! There’s also some other Halloween references that I didn’t catch until later. One that’s a little obvious is when Tatum and Sidney are talking about her mom’s killer and Tatum says she sounds like a Wes Carpenter flick. And at the beginning of the movie, Casey’s dad tells her mom to go to the MacKenzies which is what Laurie Strode told the kids to do in Halloween.
I'm so happy more people are reacting to this movie/franchise because of October. Definitely my favorite slasher. If Ghostface called me and asked me what is my favorite scary movie, well I'd clearly panic for a second there, but then I'd say Scream, no hesitation lol
You guys are so young! Easter eggs you missed: 1 The reporter that ambushed Sydney asking her about almost being butchered, was a cameo by Linda Blair, the little girl from the Exorcist. 2 The principle was Henry Winkler better known in pop culture as The Fonz. 3 The Janitor dressed as Freddie Kruger was Wes Craven. I really enjoyed your reaction. I'm looking forward to more. While you guys are in the "shallow end, try out Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960). I'm sure Blake could handle it.😄
You guys should definitely watch all of the sequels. Scream is THE ONLY horror franchise that never goes off the rails. Yes, there might one or two movies weaker than the others, but they're all far from bad. All of them are extremely entertainable, cozy, scary, funny, all in the right amounts. Go on with the whole franchise and I promise you won't regret it.
strangely enough even the weaker movies in the franchise are still really good. Even with decade difference and the director change. One of a kind, I think there is no other movie franchise that is 25 years old which is that strong in the long term.
im gonna be honest, the latest 2 definitely aren’t my favorite, it just is a different feel from OG films, but i do agree they aren’t bad though, like you said a better series that stayed watchable
@@jessica-uj4bwthe newest movies are more action movies then anything else, I don’t hate them but I would have preferred the series to have ended with Wes Cravens passing
23:23 This was 1996, cell phones were not at all common yet, least of all among high schoolers. So him having a cell phone on him that dropped to the floor would legitimately raise suspicion.
Caller ID became a thing because of THIS film =) Scream is my favorite horror movie series and is the most consistent out of all series. The blend of comedy/horror and the good characters are awesome!
Is funny because this movie was supposed to be a parody/satire of slasher movies but was so popular and had such an impact that got its own "parody" movie that is scary movie lol.
The great thing about Scream was it was so self aware, in that it even though it is a serious subject it constantly refers to old Horror films and makes reference to the plot of them etc. It also spawned superb sequels, each on of them is great too and well worth a watch. You gotta do the sequels, the writing is just so clever.
I hope you guys finish the franchise. I really enjoyed all of the films especially Scream VI. It’s cool to see older films being brought back in modern times. I am sure that all of you will enjoy them including Blake 😂🙏🏾!!
So, idk if ya guy pick this series back up down the road. But it’s not so much THE slasher movie. It’s more like the movie that reinvented horror, this movie was and still is super meta to horror movies, and at the time in the 90’s, everything was Jason or Freddy or a rip off of that style of slasher, and Wes Craven, the man who created A nightmare on Elm Street, being the horror genius that he was, got together with a writer for teenage MRV drama show and made Scream, a satire of not only of horror movies, but the entire horror industry as a whole. It truly is one of the best horror franchises of all time, and every ounce of scream 1 and 4 are divine brilliance drawn straight from the beautifully twisted mind of Wes Craven. The rest are great too, 5 especially imo, but those 2 movies changed horror movies forever
It was a great horror satire at the time. Very aware, meta, and rule breaking. The 2nd one is also amazing and is tied with the first for me. The 3rd is controversial. It's different but I liked it. (There was a big school shooting that happened so they changed a lot of the story and toned down the gore)
It’s so funny how when younger reactors first see Stu during the fountain seen they almost always go, “Is that Shaggy?!” But when I first saw the trailers for Scooby Doo and I saw Matthew Lillard I said, “Oh crap! Is that Stu from Scream?!” Lol
You guys are going to enjoy the series. I love how they don’t reboot it , there’s a story for everything when you encounter the trilogy Scream 3 everything comes to light ! Scream 3 is underrated but it’s good and it’s a comedy
My 2nd favourite. Absolutely love scream 3. Hate it gets so much hate,especially all this shit it went thro. It turned out great imo considering everything
Good reaction. You need to watch the sequel. A fun moment you probably missed is one of my favorites: when Ghostface is behind Randy ( the movie expert) and Randy is telling Jamie Lee Curtis ( in Halloween) to look behind her. If you are unaware, the actor playing Randy is Jamie Kennedy. So he's actually telling himself "look behind you."
70's and 80's are the best soundtracks :) Garage doors didn't always have the safety feature. Thank Blake for suffering for us! Enjoyed everyone's reactions and hypotheses!
36:45 The Howling is an excellent horror movie with werewolves (and yes, with the actress that played E.T.s mom, ha - she's also in Cujo, based off of a Stephen King book)
The best horror franchise period it changed the horror genre since it’s release and it’s the most consistent in quality when it comes to the sequels idc what anyone says. The original will always be the best, ghostface was at his prime , and the introduction of the best final girl Sidney Prescott with the meta nature of the movie feeling so refreshing having ppl know the rules of the horror genre to survive and subvert expectations especially having 2 killers instead of one to explain how ghostface can move around so fast. The best opening to a horror movie ever starting off with 2 really gory kills to set the tone.
For reference RIZZ means this: “If you want to "rizz" someone, you want to flirt with or charm them. It is also believed "rizz" derives from the word "charisma," or "a special magnetic charm or appeal." Great reaction💖🤣 especially ‘its the 90’s, bullying is a tradition’ 😂
This franchise helped me with my fear of blood funny enough!! When billy says it's cornstarch and red dye in Carrie really helped! I'm an actress myself and that helped me click into the mindset for horror films and blood and I love this franchise and a lot of other 80s and 90s horror now!!
YESSSSSS I HOPE YOU GUYS CONTINUE WITH THE FRANCHISE!!! Ghostface is one of my favorite killers! Scream 4, 5, and 6 are my favorites for sure but all of them are really great tbh!
Couple things. 1. Matthew Lillard being hit by the phone was an accident. Skeet Ulrich had so much fake blood on his hands that the phone slipped and Lillard went with it. 2. The scream from the second umbrella stab was very real. On the first stab, Neve hit the padding under his shirt, where she was supposed to. The second stab, she missed and hit a surgery scar on Skeet's chest.
Hey guys! I watch horror movies all year round and grew up on all the classic ones like this. One of the clues that Stu is the killer is that he and Tatum were basically inseparable the first half of the movie; he asks her to get him a beer at the party, she never comes back and he never wondered about her- even when he went to get himself a beer later. You were right abt the Wes (craven) John (carpenter)combo and yep Gail always becomes everyone's favorite (along w Dewey and Sydney of course). Courtney Cox who plays her purposely wanted to play a b*tch because everyone knew her as "Monica" from "Friends" where she played a nice girl- and Gail does evolve a bit in Part 2. Great reaction, you should watch the entire franchise- it doesn't disappoint.
i know its your first time watching but sidney prescott is far for stupid and is one of the most iconic final girls in slasher history, just wanted to say that. if you continue the franchise (which i hope you do) you'll appreciate her more. love y'alls reaction
I didn't get my first cell phone til 98. I graduated high school in 92 - I can't name a single person in my class that had a cell. Payphones were the thing back then... Caller ID was new tech back then. 😊. Liked & subbed gentlemen.
I never realized that the killer went through that tiny hole, through the van....things you learn, the more you watch these movies with other reactors...:)
@Raggedy Pack Also I think it is important to note…ALL OF THE PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL FOR THIS MOVIE HAD DREW BARRYMORE FRONT AND CENTER. Drew Barrymore was the blonde woman in the opening scene she was America’s sweetheart and has been famous since she was a child in E.T. Anyways because Drew Barrymore was so famous and was front and center on the poster and in the trailer people assumed she was the main character/final girl. So when she died in the first 12 minutes people lost their minds in a good way. Rightfully so.
1.The fun part is watching everyone overthink who did it. Thank God for twist endings. 2. The principal is The Fonz/Henry Winkler. 3. Cellphones weren't that prevalent in1996. 4. Maskface keeps getting his ass kicked 🤣 5. Tatum/Rose McGowen= As long as I have a face 😋😍 6. Why Stuart would kill his GF Tatum is beyond me.🙄 (I can tell it was him because the stunt man is much taller than Billy).
The guy who played Billy (skeet ulrich) was specifically chosen by Wes Craven because he favored Johnny Depp, who was in his other movie Nightmare on Elm Street.
@@RaggedyPack with this Franchise often times/most of the time/usually there's 2 Ghostface Killers but anything a little bit more than that such as 3 Ghostface Killers or 4 Ghostface or anything less than 2 Ghostface Killers such as only 1 Ghostface Killer highly rare!
“My mom and dad are gonna be so mad 😂 my favorite line in the whole movie. My favorite comment from your reaction “Zoinks” 😂 In my opinion Nightmare On Elm Street is terrifying. 😱
One of the great unexpected things about scream when it first came out was that opening, Drew Barrymore was the biggest name in the cast at the time and originally signed on to play Sidney then she thought it would be cool if she was the opening kill, like one of yous said ( you thought she was the final girl ) so you open see a big star an think ok she’s Ganna get away the. 15 minutes in an your all outta wack cus everything you thought you knew was out the window ! This movie is amazing👍🏼 #WesKnewHisShit
It's also worth mentioning she was front left on the movie poster, so people watching it for the first time would assume she is important and one of the main leads.
@@feartheolivebread yep & that over exposed behind them/ on the cover of the vhs dvd blue ray is also Drew Barrymore, it took me till a few years ago for it to click that was her an not Neve Campbell or Courteney Cox 🤦🏻♂️
Fun fact: Caller ID sales skyrocketed after Scream came out. Fun fact 2: Billy wasn't actually supposed to throw the phone at Stu towards the end. Fun fact 3: In the beginning, when Casey was talking to the killer and she said the first Nightmare on Elm Street was good but the rest sucked, that line was put in by Kevin Williamson(the screenwriter of Scream) because up to that point Wes Craven had only direct 1 of the 3 or 4. Fun fact 4: Scream was marketed where Drew Barrymore was front and center with the rest of the cast.
First time viewer & I have to say you guys already have me chuckling in the first 3 minutes lol! Especially Blake being annoyed at everyone requesting horror films 😂. I think this is gonna be a great watch!
13:27 Fascinating, actually. Guy hid behind his fingers, but when the blood actually started spilling, they never came back Reactions are engaging so far, guys, thanks for sharing💙
Great reaction guys ❤ David Arquette and Courteney Cox were together around this time and then got (m. 1999-2013) when they divorced but stayed close friends for their daughter coco she’s 19 now also skeet Ulrich(billy) and neve Campbell (Sidney) played in another good movie I love that is great for Halloween it’s called the craft but If you want something not as heavy practical magic is really good
At 28:05-28:07 the reporter who asked Sydney saying we have a right to know is Linda Blair who played Regan in The Exorcist. The Principal? The Fonz himself Henry Winkler from Happy Days and Barry. The shot of Winkler’s frozen eye is an homage to Psycho. Courtney Cox(Friends,Dirt) actually married, had a daughter , and later divorced Dewey(David Arquette) who comes from an acting family. His sister Patricia is an Oscar winner, Rosanna was in the wacky Cronenberg film CRASH, and RIP Alexis Arquette who started early in She’s A Beauty video. I believe there is a cameo with Director Wes Craven as a Janitor looking like Freddy Krueger too. Sydney’s bf was also in the horror film The Craft. The “Shaggy” character was also in horror films Serial Mom and 13 Ghosts. Rose McGowan(garage door kill) did Jawbreaker, dated Marilyn Manson, and did Machete,Grindhouse: Planet Terror/Death Proof. Hitchcock did a film based on real killers(Leopold and Loeb) called ROPE with Jimmy Stewart. The phone scene was an ad lib which was really funny by Matthew Lillard!
As someone who saw this in the theater when I was 15 (still don’t know why they let me on, lol) it makes me feel my age when this is called a “classic”. 😂
You can tell this movie is well made, because almost all of your reads the ENTIRE movie were wrong, and even though Billy and Stu were acting deranged for the whole movie y'all were still suspecting Randy because he yelled once and "hard read" the principal as the killer 2 minutes before he died 😂😂😂. But PLEASE do more reactions (especially to Scream)!!! This is my first time seeing your channel (this is one of my fave movies to watch reactions to), and I LOVE watching ppl who hate scary movies reacting to them. Helps that Blake is a cutie too 😂!
Fun fact: according to production commentary Rose Byrne actually DID fit through the doggy door. They had to staple the her to it in order for the scene to work
Fun fact about Rodger l jackson aka ghostface: drew Barrymore was the reason he was cast. Originally, she was going to be read lines by someone, and the killers voice would be casted and dubbed in later. But she wanted a voice actor instead to add authenticity to her performance. So they had an open casting call, and Rodger was hired. The plan was to have Rodger read the lines to drew and then find the true voice later and dub over rodger. But rodger really impressed the filmmakers, and he was casted as the voice of ghostface permanently. It also started the tradition of actually making the calls during filming instead of faking it and dubbing in the voice later. Every phone call in the franchise is real and Roger is actually on set, calling the actor off screen. The cops actually showed up at the house they were filming in because they intercepted the calls and thought they were real.
@Raggedy Pack I found you via this video…So I think it’s time to do the entire Scream franchise!! I think Blake will be fine. Scream is a little more campy than scary. But this franchise is so popular for a reason…it is so fun trying to solve the mystery of who the killer is in each movie. Every single one is good.
I feel so old. When the phone rang in the 90’s, you answered it. Period. This is also a small town. Everyday violence wasn’t something we thought about until Columbine
For y'all youngins (I'm only 33 lol), a "900 number" was/might still be like a phone sex hotline thing. So nowadays how corporations have 1-800 numbers (1-900-###-####) phone sex lines used to be known as "900 numbers".
Wes Craven based this off The Gainesville Ripper. He saw this small town that knew there was a serial killer living among them and the longer he went uncaught, the more suspicious everyone seemed. That's way more terrifying than a literal monster. A human monster looks like everyone else.
You should definitely watch Scream 2! Many feel it's almost, if not, better than Scream. Plus, you can't go wrong with Sarah Michelle Gellar being in it, who at the time, was starring in Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Good reactions guys!🙂 Yes, the ending was drawn out but that was so you were able to hear the answers to the questions we all have with movies like this: the who, where, what, why and how. And just fyi all the endings are drawn out like that in all of the other 5 movies and honestly it works really well for this franchise lol And fun fact the first 3 movies of the franchise are related in more ways than one. You also get more back story from each of the movies. They really built a decent storyline for the first 3 movies. Movies 4-6 are good too while they do have some major changes there are also some connections to the first 3 that makes them all worth watching at least once.. they are even coming out with another one which will be #7 and that one will also have connections to the others. Even if you don't get through them for Oct you should still watch them all eventually 🙃
SCREAM WAS SO MUCH FUN!! 🔪🩸
Blake had his face covered for half of the movie...

Too many ppl were sabotaged by watching the spoof franchise first and it doesn’t exactly make you want to go out and watch scream
Why do people always complain about "the ending is too long"?
Do people just want to see the same formula over and over?
That ending is so creative, we got to see real behavior from psycho killers.
Ikr get the hell over it. It was new and fresh. You will live.
Best intro & ending EVER.
It's always non horror fans that say that because they just don't get how satisfying this ending is to horror fans

Fun fact: Rose McGowen (Tatum) was actually able to fit through the kitty door, and kept slipping out while filming the scene :D
Eventually she was basically nailed in, and since she didn't believe she had a good scream, she instead chose her last moment to be crying out for her Mom... Which hurts more, knowing she's a few feet from her brother crying...MOM!
the reason why sidney was suspicious when the phone dropped is because at that time in the 90s a kid having a cell phone actually wasnt that common

I think it’s like a unwritten rule that the ghost face costumes makes then unkillable till they are unmasked
Such a fun reaction! Scream is definitely a great dip into the horror genre! The series only gets better hope you guys watch the rest!
I love how the one who hates scary movies predicted it the best and seems to be having fun haha
The great thing about Scream was it was so self aware, in that it even though it is a serious subject it constantly refers to old Horror films and makes reference to the plot of them etc. It also spawned superb sequels, each on of them is great too and well worth a watch. You gotta do the sequels, the writing is just so clever.
Except for 3.😜
@@unvoicedapollo3318 Hey no spoilers 😭
@@unvoicedapollo3318 I like 3 for the Harvey Weinstein call out....most meta moment ever lol!
The intro with drew Barrymore IS So iconic
I hope this blows up! I really want y’all to continue the franchise!! I loved this reaction. thank you
Excited to see your reaction! In my opinion, Scream is the most consistent horror franchise ❤️
I hope you guys finish the franchise. I really enjoyed all of the films especially Scream VI. It’s cool to see older films being brought back in modern times. I am sure that all of you will enjoy them including Blake 😂🙏🏾!!
FYI Sharon Stone is an actress who was made very famous from her role in the 1992 film Basic Instinct. You guys should check it out.
So, idk if ya guy pick this series back up down the road. But it’s not so much THE slasher movie. It’s more like the movie that reinvented horror, this movie was and still is super meta to horror movies, and at the time in the 90’s, everything was Jason or Freddy or a rip off of that style of slasher, and Wes Craven, the man who created A nightmare on Elm Street, being the horror genius that he was, got together with a writer for teenage MRV drama show and made Scream, a satire of not only of horror movies, but the entire horror industry as a whole.
It truly is one of the best horror franchises of all time, and every ounce of scream 1 and 4 are divine brilliance drawn straight from the beautifully twisted mind of Wes Craven. The rest are great too, 5 especially imo, but those 2 movies changed horror movies forever
Scream face and title of movie WAS indeed inspired by a real scream face: Norwegian painter Edward Munch's infamous "Scream".
It was a great horror satire at the time. Very aware, meta, and rule breaking. The 2nd one is also amazing and is tied with the first for me. The 3rd is controversial. It's different but I liked it. (There was a big school shooting that happened so they changed a lot of the story and toned down the gore)
Columbine
5 and 6 are excellent honestly ! The meta message is fun and new lead are solid !
It’s so funny how when younger reactors first see Stu during the fountain seen they almost always go, “Is that Shaggy?!”
But when I first saw the trailers for Scooby Doo and I saw Matthew Lillard I said, “Oh crap! Is that Stu from Scream?!” Lol
You guys are going to enjoy the series. I love how they don’t reboot it , there’s a story for everything when you encounter the trilogy Scream 3 everything comes to light ! Scream 3 is underrated but it’s good and it’s a comedy
My 2nd favourite. Absolutely love scream 3. Hate it gets so much hate,especially all this shit it went thro. It turned out great imo considering everything
Good reaction. You need to watch the sequel.
A fun moment you probably missed is one of my favorites: when Ghostface is behind Randy ( the movie expert) and Randy is telling Jamie Lee Curtis ( in Halloween) to look behind her. If you are unaware, the actor playing Randy is Jamie Kennedy. So he's actually telling himself "look behind you."
Blake will be super pissed when he's forced to watch horror Christmas movies in December.
Sidney and Laurie (Halloween) are the best final girls ever.
70's and 80's are the best soundtracks :)
Garage doors didn't always have the safety feature.
Thank Blake for suffering for us! Enjoyed everyone's reactions and hypotheses!
36:45 The Howling is an excellent horror movie with werewolves (and yes, with the actress that played E.T.s mom, ha - she's also in Cujo, based off of a Stephen King book)
Blake’s reaction is so relatable!!! That was me the whole time too😂😂😂
The best horror franchise period it changed the horror genre since it’s release and it’s the most consistent in quality when it comes to the sequels idc what anyone says. The original will always be the best, ghostface was at his prime , and the introduction of the best final girl Sidney Prescott with the meta nature of the movie feeling so refreshing having ppl know the rules of the horror genre to survive and subvert expectations especially having 2 killers instead of one to explain how ghostface can move around so fast. The best opening to a horror movie ever starting off with 2 really gory kills to set the tone.
We're honored to have Ghostface comment on our video 👻🔪
For reference RIZZ means this:
“If you want to "rizz" someone, you want to flirt with or charm them. It is also believed "rizz" derives from the word "charisma," or "a special magnetic charm or appeal."
Great reaction💖🤣 especially ‘its the 90’s, bullying is a tradition’ 😂
Love Scream and you guys are going to love it too. Do Sream 2-4 as well.
It’s not a horror movie but please add Silence Of The Lambs to your October watch list. It’s a psychological thriller.
One of the best movies ever made. That and misery
I still need to see it omfg ima watch it tonight @@staceywhelan3413
This franchise helped me with my fear of blood funny enough!! When billy says it's cornstarch and red dye in Carrie really helped! I'm an actress myself and that helped me click into the mindset for horror films and blood and I love this franchise and a lot of other 80s and 90s horror now!!
YESSSSSS I HOPE YOU GUYS CONTINUE WITH THE FRANCHISE!!! Ghostface is one of my favorite killers! Scream 4, 5, and 6 are my favorites for sure but all of them are really great tbh!
Literally love Billy and Stu no one does it better than the originals, my fav scream movie but Billy is the best ghost face imo
Couple things.
1. Matthew Lillard being hit by the phone was an accident. Skeet Ulrich had so much fake blood on his hands that the phone slipped and Lillard went with it.
2. The scream from the second umbrella stab was very real. On the first stab, Neve hit the padding under his shirt, where she was supposed to. The second stab, she missed and hit a surgery scar on Skeet's chest.
Didn't know the second one. Cool.
@@clevelandcbi Not so cool for Skeet, though.
@@TimedRevolver No, that'd suck.
Hey guys! I watch horror movies all year round and grew up on all the classic ones like this. One of the clues that Stu is the killer is that he and Tatum were basically inseparable the first half of the movie; he asks her to get him a beer at the party, she never comes back and he never wondered about her- even when he went to get himself a beer later. You were right abt the Wes (craven) John (carpenter)combo and yep Gail always becomes everyone's favorite (along w Dewey and Sydney of course). Courtney Cox who plays her purposely wanted to play a b*tch because everyone knew her as "Monica" from "Friends" where she played a nice girl- and Gail does evolve a bit in Part 2. Great reaction, you should watch the entire franchise- it doesn't disappoint.
i know its your first time watching but sidney prescott is far for stupid and is one of the most iconic final girls in slasher history, just wanted to say that. if you continue the franchise (which i hope you do) you'll appreciate her more. love y'alls reaction
I was in HS in the '90s and "wanna go see a dead body" would not be the strangest thing I heard that night :D
I was in high school in the 2000's and even then, same for me lol.
The movie gets so much better after you know the outcome you can go back and see all the subtle hints and set ups the killers made.
It's always such a pleasure when people react to these movies.. Scream is my favorite movie franchise! And all reactions are always so fun to watch!
honestly I don't get complaining about the ending of the original Scream lol it's so creative and so much stuff happens!!
I didn't get my first cell phone til 98. I graduated high school in 92 - I can't name a single person in my class that had a cell. Payphones were the thing back then... Caller ID was new tech back then. 😊. Liked & subbed gentlemen.
Thank you! We were just little babies back then. Blake wasn't even born yet. We don't know what we're talking about 😅🤣
It was the mid 90s...definitely wasn't the norm to have a cell phone. Lol
Billy: What do I have to do to prove to you that I'm not a killer?
Me: Um...maybe not phrase the question in that way with crazy eyes...
I never realized that the killer went through that tiny hole, through the van....things you learn, the more you watch these movies with other reactors...:)
@Raggedy Pack Also I think it is important to note…ALL OF THE PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL FOR THIS MOVIE HAD DREW BARRYMORE FRONT AND CENTER. Drew Barrymore was the blonde woman in the opening scene she was America’s sweetheart and has been famous since she was a child in E.T.
Anyways because Drew Barrymore was so famous and was front and center on the poster and in the trailer people assumed she was the main character/final girl. So when she died in the first 12 minutes people lost their minds in a good way. Rightfully so.
1.The fun part is watching everyone overthink who did it. Thank God for twist endings.
2. The principal is The Fonz/Henry Winkler.
3. Cellphones weren't that prevalent in1996.
4. Maskface keeps getting his ass kicked 🤣
5. Tatum/Rose McGowen= As long as I have a face 😋😍
6. Why Stuart would kill his GF Tatum is beyond me.🙄 (I can tell it was him because the stunt man is much taller than Billy).
The guy who played Billy (skeet ulrich) was specifically chosen by Wes Craven because he favored Johnny Depp, who was in his other movie Nightmare on Elm Street.
To answer your question at the end about the bathroom stall scene, it was neither Billy or Stu. It was just a random prankster.
Thanks for the answer! For a random prankster, they made a great Ghostface! Falling face first into the sink was so in character -Corey
@@RaggedyPack with this Franchise often times/most of the time/usually there's 2 Ghostface Killers but anything a little bit more than that such as 3 Ghostface Killers or 4 Ghostface or anything less than 2 Ghostface Killers such as only 1 Ghostface Killer highly rare!
“My mom and dad are gonna be so mad 😂 my favorite line in the whole movie. My favorite comment from your reaction “Zoinks” 😂
In my opinion Nightmare On Elm Street is terrifying. 😱
One of the great unexpected things about scream when it first came out was that opening, Drew Barrymore was the biggest name in the cast at the time and originally signed on to play Sidney then she thought it would be cool if she was the opening kill, like one of yous said ( you thought she was the final girl ) so you open see a big star an think ok she’s Ganna get away the. 15 minutes in an your all outta wack cus everything you thought you knew was out the window ! This movie is amazing👍🏼 #WesKnewHisShit
It's also worth mentioning she was front left on the movie poster, so people watching it for the first time would assume she is important and one of the main leads.
@@feartheolivebread yep & that over exposed behind them/ on the cover of the vhs dvd blue ray is also Drew Barrymore, it took me till a few years ago for it to click that was her an not Neve Campbell or Courteney Cox 🤦🏻♂️
Monica from friends at her prime ❤️
This is why most killers have accomplices, so they get blamed, and the actual killers get away with murder...
One of the best opening sequences, especially in horror.
Fun fact: Caller ID sales skyrocketed after Scream came out.
Fun fact 2: Billy wasn't actually supposed to throw the phone at Stu towards the end.
Fun fact 3: In the beginning, when Casey was talking to the killer and she said the first Nightmare on Elm Street was good but the rest sucked, that line was put in by Kevin Williamson(the screenwriter of Scream) because up to that point Wes Craven had only direct 1 of the 3 or 4.
Fun fact 4: Scream was marketed where Drew Barrymore was front and center with the rest of the cast.
First time viewer & I have to say you guys already have me chuckling in the first 3 minutes lol! Especially Blake being annoyed at everyone requesting horror films 😂. I think this is gonna be a great watch!
13:27
Fascinating, actually. Guy hid behind his fingers, but when the blood actually started spilling, they never came back
Reactions are engaging so far, guys, thanks for sharing💙
Great reaction guys ❤ David Arquette and Courteney Cox were together around this time and then got (m. 1999-2013) when they divorced but stayed close friends for their daughter coco she’s 19 now also skeet Ulrich(billy) and neve Campbell (Sidney) played in another good movie I love that is great for Halloween it’s called the craft but If you want something not as heavy practical magic is really good
At 28:05-28:07 the reporter who asked Sydney saying we have a right to know is Linda Blair who played Regan in The Exorcist. The Principal? The Fonz himself Henry Winkler from Happy Days and Barry. The shot of Winkler’s frozen eye is an homage to Psycho. Courtney Cox(Friends,Dirt) actually married, had a daughter , and later divorced Dewey(David Arquette) who comes from an acting family. His sister Patricia is an Oscar winner, Rosanna was in the wacky Cronenberg film CRASH, and RIP Alexis Arquette who started early in She’s A Beauty video. I believe there is a cameo with Director Wes Craven as a Janitor looking like Freddy Krueger too. Sydney’s bf was also in the horror film The Craft. The “Shaggy” character was also in horror films Serial Mom and 13 Ghosts. Rose McGowan(garage door kill) did Jawbreaker, dated Marilyn Manson, and did Machete,Grindhouse: Planet Terror/Death Proof. Hitchcock did a film based on real killers(Leopold and Loeb) called ROPE with Jimmy Stewart. The phone scene was an ad lib which was really funny by Matthew Lillard!
As someone who saw this in the theater when I was 15 (still don’t know why they let me on, lol) it makes me feel my age when this is called a “classic”. 😂
You can tell this movie is well made, because almost all of your reads the ENTIRE movie were wrong, and even though Billy and Stu were acting deranged for the whole movie y'all were still suspecting Randy because he yelled once and "hard read" the principal as the killer 2 minutes before he died 😂😂😂.
But PLEASE do more reactions (especially to Scream)!!! This is my first time seeing your channel (this is one of my fave movies to watch reactions to), and I LOVE watching ppl who hate scary movies reacting to them. Helps that Blake is a cutie too 😂!
This movie got me into horror at 5 years old. A all time classic!! This movie brought back the horror genre back in the 90’s. LLWESCRAVEN
Fun fact: according to production commentary Rose Byrne actually DID fit through the doggy door. They had to staple the her to it in order for the scene to work
Rose Byrne is not in this movie, but Rose McGowan is.
Blake hates Halloween and horror?! He's lucky he's pretty & cute 😮💨
ONTO SCREAM 2!
the ending is actually my favorite part i love how drawn out it is
1:08:57
Awesome! lol
Nice to hear Blake didn’t have a terrible time lol
Thanks, guys! Have a good one💙
Fun fact about Rodger l jackson aka ghostface: drew Barrymore was the reason he was cast. Originally, she was going to be read lines by someone, and the killers voice would be casted and dubbed in later. But she wanted a voice actor instead to add authenticity to her performance. So they had an open casting call, and Rodger was hired. The plan was to have Rodger read the lines to drew and then find the true voice later and dub over rodger. But rodger really impressed the filmmakers, and he was casted as the voice of ghostface permanently. It also started the tradition of actually making the calls during filming instead of faking it and dubbing in the voice later. Every phone call in the franchise is real and Roger is actually on set, calling the actor off screen.
The cops actually showed up at the house they were filming in because they intercepted the calls and thought they were real.
@Raggedy Pack I found you via this video…So I think it’s time to do the entire Scream franchise!! I think Blake will be fine. Scream is a little more campy than scary. But this franchise is so popular for a reason…it is so fun trying to solve the mystery of who the killer is in each movie.
Every single one is good.
We should play a drinking game each time one of you say "the 90's". 🤭
I feel so old. When the phone rang in the 90’s, you answered it. Period. This is also a small town. Everyday violence wasn’t something we thought about until Columbine
For y'all youngins (I'm only 33 lol), a "900 number" was/might still be like a phone sex hotline thing. So nowadays how corporations have 1-800 numbers (1-900-###-####) phone sex lines used to be known as "900 numbers".
Fun fact: the actress could fit through the cat door, but had to act like she couldn't 😅
Adds to the drama🌚
“spoilers” 😭 that movie came out 44 years ago
Wes Craven based this off The Gainesville Ripper. He saw this small town that knew there was a serial killer living among them and the longer he went uncaught, the more suspicious everyone seemed. That's way more terrifying than a literal monster. A human monster looks like everyone else.
You should definitely watch Scream 2! Many feel it's almost, if not, better than Scream. Plus, you can't go wrong with Sarah Michelle Gellar being in it, who at the time, was starring in Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
The mystery aspect is my favorite thing about this franchise. I love watching these trying to figure out who the killer(s) is.
OMG!! You guys haven't seen Scream!!?? LETS GOOO!!!
Good reactions guys!🙂 Yes, the ending was drawn out but that was so you were able to hear the answers to the questions we all have with movies like this: the who, where, what, why and how. And just fyi all the endings are drawn out like that in all of the other 5 movies and honestly it works really well for this franchise lol
And fun fact the first 3 movies of the franchise are related in more ways than one. You also get more back story from each of the movies. They really built a decent storyline for the first 3 movies. Movies 4-6 are good too while they do have some major changes there are also some connections to the first 3 that makes them all worth watching at least once.. they are even coming out with another one which will be #7 and that one will also have connections to the others. Even if you don't get through them for Oct you should still watch them all eventually 🙃
