Glad you had fun with this one! For what it's worth, I think the movie intentionally made Billy act so suspicious from the start because they wanted the audience to dismiss him as "too obvious" to actually end up being the killer. Basically trying to outplay the audience members who've watched a lot of mysteries/thrillers by making a character SEEM like the "red herring" but then it's a double-fakeout and it really is him. :)
Yeah. But they overdid it. They should have stopped with the red herring after the phone-jail sequence. Once he got out of jail and started acting super weird and suspicious, there's no logical storyline reasoning for him not to be the killer. No one acts like that if they aren't a killer.
Wes Craven directed both Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream, thus the Easter egg with the janitor dressed up like Freddy Krueger. The janitor's name was Fred and it was actually Wes Craven as the Janitor in a cameo! The principal of the school is Henry Winkler aka Fonzie from Happy Days, but also a director and actor.
@@scottchaison1001 Someone's literal "insides" are basically his guts and organs. Here Curtis was joking on the fact that it also refers to someone's personnality, how someone is on the inside.
FUN FACT: Linda Blair from the Exorcist was one of the pushy reporters who accosted Sydney during the press storm. I'm crossing my fingers that you guys watch Halloween (1978) and The Craft during Octoween! So many more to think of, but those two just came to mind. ☺️🎃🍂
@@rumham7466 Nope, not yet. But I hope they pull that one out during spooky season lol. I have a whole list in my head that I'd love for them to watch.
Randy's "virgin" comment at the end isn't "so uncalled for"... the whole point is that he's referring to his rules for surviving a horror movie. Pay more attention, my dudes, the scripts in the Scream franchise are much cleverer than your average slasher! Glad you enjoyed it though, moving straight onto your Scream 2 reaction! Hope you do all five movies 🙂
Totally. I guess people would need to have knowledge of the movies with the "formula" to get that it is true in classic scary movies. Need to be old school to really understand it. I'm proud to be old school myself lol.
@@zoeevans3649 I'd normally say reconsider, because they did do a reaction to Scream 2 where they seemed to pay much more attention and clearly loved the franchise. Unfortunately, their Scream 2 reaction video upload got mixed up with a Friday the 13th Part II reaction video, and they never even bothered to reupload it. As much as I like their reactions, that just proves they don't give a trash about horror. You're right to avoid - there are much better reactors out there.
I'm 2 minutes into your reaction, and I love that you're more terrorized by the prospect of burning (and missing out on!) popcorn than by a psychotic knife-wielding, mask-wearing murderer. You, my good men, have your priorities straight. Respect.
Scream reinvigorated the slasher genre, which was dying at the time. Even going so far as to "killing off" popular slashers like Jason and Freddy. Scream was a breath of fresh air with it's self-awareness and how clever the film is as a whole. Hope you guys get to watching the original Halloween from 1978, another film that revolutionized the slasher genre. If you haven't seen it already.
LOVE This Movie!! The opening was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments, and I bet when Audiences saw the opening they thought Drew Barrymore was going to be the hero. Well they were in for a shocking surprise. The tagline reads: "Someone Has Taken Their Love For Scary Movies A Little Too Far."
Definitely! Drew was one of the biggest names in terms of young Hollywood, we had no clue who many of the other actors/actresses were in this movie. When Drew bought the farm, we were all like👀👀 and ready!
Ah, the days of a good and creative scary movie. We had so much fun watching this in middle school when it came out! Scream 2 is actually one sequel that lives up the the original. A lot of people like it better than Scream. Definitely worth a watch. Also, if you like this movie, I would highly recommend Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. It was basically the beginning of the “when horror meets reality” theme that so many movies (like Scream) followed later. New Nightmare shines because you can go from A Nightmare on Elm Street to it without missing a beat. It makes all sequels in between pretty much irrelevant, which a lot of people don’t mind since they weren’t as good in comparison. The acting, storyline, returning cast and all of the Easter eggs throughout New Nightmare are golden! Love you guys! 💕
@@TequilaToothpick I have not seen every movie made. Nor do I think that every movie is a classic. I am speaking from my perspective of the ones that I feel fit that category.
I love when people react to the scream movies for the first time one it’s a fcking CLASSIC one of the best slasher franchises with a very original story and two THE FCKING REVEAL IS LEGENDARY you just never really know who to trust it could literally be anybody plus of course the best line on movie history is Stu going “I’m feeling a little woozy here” 😂 and when billy hit him with the phone it wasn’t in the script so stu’s reaction was real he just didn’t break character you gotta love shaggy
Fun Fact: Tatum's death in the garage door was a lot harder to film than it looked, since her actress could actually fit through the cat door and she kept falling through as the door went up. They had to do 27 takes before finally figuring out a way to keep her in.
"Oh he's a personality guy, that's nice" - I literally choked on my drink lmao. I've seen this movie hundreds of times, and watched a ton of reactions to it (it's my favourite movie of all time) and not once have I seen someone say this but it's fucking genius!
Some fun facts I know: the reporter who asked “how does it feel to be almost brutally butchered?” Was Linda Blair from the Exorcist. And the Principal was Henry Winkler, a.k.a. the Fonz himself, so as an Easter egg, he has a leather jacket in his closet.
They have their priorities straight. No use surviving a stabbing only to lose your house to a fire. Plus you'd be pretty hungry after that so you don't want to lose your snack. LMAO
@@MrParkerman6 you’re right about 5. I hated the movie & guessed the killers immediately. But I do like that they addressed the contemporary toxicity of fans and stans. Not even sure if I’ll watch 6 at this point.
Certainly not in the 5 and 6, which are dreadfully bad. The third has a social commentary, sure, but the writing is awful. I wouldn't call the series great.
Great reaction guys! I highly highly HIGHLY recommended reacting to the entire franchise. The newest installment came out this year and is phenomenal! The next installment is coming out in March!
After all dozens of times I’ve seen the opening scene, I just heard for the first time the dog barking in the background when he says “I want to know who I’m looking at.” The dog barking exactly at that time suggests someone is outside which would reduce the odds the caller was just a prank call.
DUDE! I'm obsessed with Scream, watched it countless times, reactions to it too, and I never paid attention to the barking. That moment really chilled my bones because I flip when I'm home alone and my dog starts barking for seemingly no reason. Ahhh.
@@MrParkerman6 i didn’t say anything about an owner. Perhaps you never lived near dogs in a neighborhood where houses are close together or under how quiet a neighborhood like hers can be at night. Dogs tend to bark at random noises or movement when it is quiet outside and can be heard from houses away. It seems like you didn’t even watch the scene to notice the timing of the bark to what was said on the call.
You two being more pissed about the burning popcorn over anything else killed me. 😂 It’s her never letting go of the phone that got me when I first watched this years ago.
Rose McGown actually could fit through the cat door in the garage. Scream franchise is my absolute favorite. I know so much trivia from the series. Yay for scream 6 coming out in March.
Dewey was my favorite character in this movie. His innocence was priceless. I'm glad you noticed the janitor was dressed like Freddy Krueger because when they made the movie they wanted to make a nod towards that franchise.
*Fred Krueger. In all the nightmare movies except Nancy calling him Freddy Krueger in part 3, he was never referred to in full as Freddy Krueger. Only Fred Krueger, his name was only said in SHORT as Freddy OR Krueger, and never said in SHORT as Fred. In fact, in the first film both opening and closing credits credit him as Fred Krueger.
Scream is easily the most consistently good franchise in horror. They have 1 or 2 that isn't as strong but nothing bad. I'd love to see you react to the whole thing as I'm a huge fan. Hopefully you decide to checkout Scream 2 and see if you have any interest in the rest after that.
A pure masterpiece in the slasher genre. literally saved the genre that was dying. Wes and Craven did a stunning job on this, the self referential style, the kids knowing the horror scene etc. brilliant. Neve as Sidney is for sure the best final girl along with Jamie Lee. You must do all the films, it's all one story.
I love the fact that the guy who co-made this movie went on to create Dawson's Creek. Such a weird career shift. Also, I thought he'd died years ago, and apparently not. So that's good.
@@mage1439 Wes sadly died a few years ago, a massive loss to the horror genre. Kevin is still very much in high demand. His new movie Sick is out soon. Then of course the next Scream in March.
Fun Fact: when Matthew (Stuart) said "I always had a thing for you, Sid" before he got electrocuted by the TV, it wasn't in the script. It was improvised!.
😂😂😂 The principal is “The Fonz”’from the sitcom “Happy Days.” This movie was my shit! I loved how it kicked off with action. When it first came out, we talked about it throughout every period back in HS. Great reaction.
In the movie store scene where Randy and Stu are discussing possible motives Billy could have for being the killer, there's a promotional poster for the 1993 film 'Mother's Boys' that starred Jamie Lee Curtis (considered to be one of the all time great "scream queens" of horror cinema and also star of 'Halloween' and 'Prom Night' which the film references) as a wife/mother that abandons her husband and three sons with no explanation. When she returns hoping to reconcile with her husband he has a new girlfriend and she convinces her eldest son that she's personally what stands in the way of their family reuniting, prompting him to devise a plan to get her out of the picture. Doesn't really work as a "clue" but after the reveal, it's a clever easter egg fans might notice upon later viewings...
At the end, during the fight with Billy and Sydney, when she stabbed him with the umbrella...she actually did stab him with the second thrust. Billy's actor, Skeet Ulrich, had a surgery scar there. She missed the pad under his shirt and hit the scar. That scream of pain was incredibly real.
I love how you guys figure out the killer so quickly. I'd really love to see you guys react to the movie 'Devil', and see if you can figure out who the devil is before he reveals himself.
You were right about the guy being familiar-Henry Winkler as Fonzie from Happy Days. The janitor you seen with the striped jumper was the director Wes Craven dressed up as his other creation Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street. I recommend this movie if you haven’t already seen it. There was a few references to the movie in Scream, Tatum’s shirt with 10 on it just like Depp’s character in Elm Street plus Drew Barrymore mentions it at the start. Good choice of film to react to lol
As just a mere peasant RUclips subscriber I love that there is no heads up to what you guys might put up on the channel and what a lovely surprise this is👍
Hey Octokrool, I just wanna say keep doing what you're doing guys, I always enjoy watching u guys react and u guys make me laugh so much and u guys rock in my opinion. I really really recommend the other 4 scream movies, the only weakest one sort of on what some people would agree is part 3 but I like all 5 of them. Trust me guys it's worth watching all of them and the newest one is so good. If alot of people don't agree with me that's probably because they weren't born in the 80's in my opinion. Anyway I hope u guys watch at least the newest one if not the rest of them.
something maybe lost on modern audiences. the girl in the beginning was drew barrymore -- a huge star at the time. she chose that instead of the main role because she thought it would be a big twist to kill off the big name star in the first ten minutes.
I *love* this movie (And all of it’s sequels, so I hope that you guys react to them as well!) and I’ve watched a *shit ton* of first time reactions to it. Some of which are by incredibly witty and enjoyable people. And I’ve gotta say that your “Oh! He’s a personality guy! Nice!” has now taken my #1 spot for Most Hilarious Response! LOL. (It was previously held by the amazing and hilarious RUclipsr Alanda Parker when she said in response to Billy’s, “What do I have to do to prove to you that I’m not a killer?”: _”Change your face!!”_ LOL. So… yeah… congratulations!! This must be quite the monumental moment for you! Hahaha.
This movie is a classic. I think part of the reason that we didn't suspect Billy when this originally came out was because yes he acted strange but they are also in high school and he played that weird loner boy role. I also think it was to make us think it was obvious but then show that it's not as obvious as we think and then add another twist. Either way when I watch it now, I'm like yeah you can tell something is off with Billy!! This movie definitely changed horror and that is also what makes it a classic. I'm glad you enjoyed this one and hopefully you check out the rest of them...although they aren't all good but worthy to see.
26:41. IMO. That’s what makes Scream one of the best horror movies ever made. The story and killer is so real not a demon or monster that just won’t die…. Great film
Another movie that is really hard to believe they have never seen or heard of. If they would just drop the “first time” from the title it’d be all good too
"these homes are absolutely fucking beautiful ... you're living the lives out there or you were living the lives" I could not stop laughing at this comment. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This movie revived the horror genre in the 90’s much like Tombstone brought back westerns. At the time horror movies became a joke as Freddie and Jason became corny. This created horror for teens of the 90’s by putting the young popular good looking actors in these ensemble “scary” movies. After this we got “I know What you did…”, “Urban Legends” etc.
When you said you thought the song sounded familiar because of "Peaky Blinders," you're right when you later figured out it's the same song: "Red Right Hand" from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Scream has been a popular reaction movie this month. But of course it is Halloween season. This movie is classic to the opening to all those quotes and characters.
This is one of my favorite scary movies and brings back so many memories. I remember being in 9th grade and watching this movie on VHS at my best friend's house on a Friday night during a sleepover. Even though he was creepy, I remember how we all thought Billy was cute because he looked like a discount Johnny Depp. And when he and Stu were revealed to be the killers, I remember gasping and shouting out, "THEY'RE IN CAHOOTS!" and everyone laughing afterward. And when you look back on that video shop scene with Randy, Billy and Stu, it's amazing how much foreshadowing there was and how that scene pretty much gave up the end of the whole movie...and none of us knew it at the time. It was genius.
Linda Blair was the obnoxious reporter. Henry Winkler was The Fonz. Freddy-dressed guy was Wes Craven...director of Scream and Elm Street! ALSO Hulu has a NEW REBOOT OF HELLRAISER RIGHT NOW!😁
The song you think was playing in the movie is really by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds song, Red Right Hand. Billy had mommy abandonment issue even though it was his father’s choice. The principa, Mr. Himbrey, is played by Henry Winkler who played The Fonz in the tv show in the ‘70’s, Happy Days. This movie had that predicability element but it there were parts where it threw off the viewer until the end. This movie was filmed in Northern California and the houses there are beautiful. Hope you guys are the other parts to Scream. There is a new Scream 6 that will take place in New York City even though it’s filmed somewhere in Canada. As I always say, no matter what you choose to react to next I will be looking forward to seeing. Take care guys!
The original title was scary movie and it was meant to be a spoof of slasher films but people took it seriously Makes the later spoof film being titled scary movie that much funnier
_”THE POPCORN!!!”_ 🤣🤣🤣 folks getting sliced and diced willy nilly for no reason and y’all are panicked about the dang jiffy-pop! made my night! y’all are awesome!
This is one of my favorites thanks for watching!! Fun fact, the principal is the Fonz. Henry Winkler. Enjoy watching you guys you make me feel less alone watching all these movies!
Fun fact for you guys, in the scene where Billy gets stabbed by the umbrella Neve Campbell actually missed the padding and stabbed Skeet Ulrich for real so that was a real cry of pain from him in that moment.
I hope you do the rest of the franchise! I haven't watched the newest one from this year, I love the whole franchise, though some are better than others.
The guy who you couldn't recognize playing the principal is Henry Winkler. He's been in a few Adam Sandler movies such as "The Waterboy". Also, he is well known for playing the cool greaser Fonzie on the hit 70s sitcom "Happy Days"
I just love you two.🥰🥰 Your reactions to urban movies has to be my favorite. Yall are very understanding and not afraid to say or express how certain scenes make tou feel .Theres nothing like it. The End.❤❤
The Scream movies don't have a bad one in the lot. They're all fun. A little secret, they're all connected. It's one of the few movie series that I recommend the entire series to people. If you want to try something that's disturbing as hell and will give you quite a few jumpscares I'd suggest you give Jeepers Creepers a try. It's one of the best modern age monster movies ever made. Another great one is John Carpenter's The Fog (1980). Another fun monster movie.
The principle is Henry Winkler, most famous for playing "The fonz" on Happy days, in fact, the moment he fixes his hair in the mirror is a homage to that character.

You two being more pissed about the burning popcorn over anything else killed me. 😂 It’s her never letting go of the phone that got me when I first watched this years ago.
Rose McGown actually could fit through the cat door in the garage. Scream franchise is my absolute favorite. I know so much trivia from the series. Yay for scream 6 coming out in March.
Didn't they have to attach her shirt so she would quit falling out?
@@lindziodowd8609 that is true!!
Dewey was my favorite character in this movie. His innocence was priceless. I'm glad you noticed the janitor was dressed like Freddy Krueger because when they made the movie they wanted to make a nod towards that franchise.
And that janitor was Wes Craven himself.
*Fred Krueger.
In all the nightmare movies except Nancy calling him Freddy Krueger in part 3, he was never referred to in full as Freddy Krueger. Only Fred Krueger, his name was only said in SHORT as Freddy OR Krueger, and never said in SHORT as Fred. In fact, in the first film both opening and closing credits credit him as Fred Krueger.
Scream is easily the most consistently good franchise in horror. They have 1 or 2 that isn't as strong but nothing bad. I'd love to see you react to the whole thing as I'm a huge fan. Hopefully you decide to checkout Scream 2 and see if you have any interest in the rest after that.
Jamie Kennedy: “Behind you Jamie! BEHIND YOU!!!”
Best part ever. Fight me.
Skeet Ulrich is such an underrated actor. Guy killed it in this.
A pure masterpiece in the slasher genre. literally saved the genre that was dying. Wes and Craven did a stunning job on this, the self referential style, the kids knowing the horror scene etc. brilliant. Neve as Sidney is for sure the best final girl along with Jamie Lee. You must do all the films, it's all one story.
I love the fact that the guy who co-made this movie went on to create Dawson's Creek. Such a weird career shift. Also, I thought he'd died years ago, and apparently not. So that's good.
@@mage1439 Wes sadly died a few years ago, a massive loss to the horror genre. Kevin is still very much in high demand. His new movie Sick is out soon. Then of course the next Scream in March.
Scream: the right way to do meta. Marvel: the wrong way to do meta. Btw "Wes and Craven" what do you mean by that?
Fun Fact: when Matthew (Stuart) said "I always had a thing for you, Sid" before he got electrocuted by the TV, it wasn't in the script. It was improvised!.
"He's a personality guy, nice" is one of that guy's funniest remarks yet
Once you watch I Know What You Did Last Summer, you'll be all set to watch the masterpiece Scary Movie.
Wes Craven dressing up as Freddy Krueger as a janitor named Fred was a genius idea
😂😂😂 The principal is “The Fonz”’from the sitcom “Happy Days.” This movie was my shit! I loved how it kicked off with action. When it first came out, we talked about it throughout every period back in HS. Great reaction.
In the movie store scene where Randy and Stu are discussing possible motives Billy could have for being the killer, there's a promotional poster for the 1993 film 'Mother's Boys' that starred Jamie Lee Curtis (considered to be one of the all time great "scream queens" of horror cinema and also star of 'Halloween' and 'Prom Night' which the film references) as a wife/mother that abandons her husband and three sons with no explanation. When she returns hoping to reconcile with her husband he has a new girlfriend and she convinces her eldest son that she's personally what stands in the way of their family reuniting, prompting him to devise a plan to get her out of the picture. Doesn't really work as a "clue" but after the reveal, it's a clever easter egg fans might notice upon later viewings...
I actually love the whole scream series. And I agree, Childs play 2 is definitely worth the watch.
Great job selecting this one, guys. It’s a classic.
At the end, during the fight with Billy and Sydney, when she stabbed him with the umbrella...she actually did stab him with the second thrust. Billy's actor, Skeet Ulrich, had a surgery scar there. She missed the pad under his shirt and hit the scar. That scream of pain was incredibly real.
I love how you guys figure out the killer so quickly. I'd really love to see you guys react to the movie 'Devil', and see if you can figure out who the devil is before he reveals himself.
You were right about the guy being familiar-Henry Winkler as Fonzie from Happy Days. The janitor you seen with the striped jumper was the director Wes Craven dressed up as his other creation Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street. I recommend this movie if you haven’t already seen it. There was a few references to the movie in Scream, Tatum’s shirt with 10 on it just like Depp’s character in Elm Street plus Drew Barrymore mentions it at the start. Good choice of film to react to lol
FUN FACT: the reporter who asks Syd what if feels like to be almost brutally butchered is Linda Blair, the little girl from The Exorcist.
Happy early 26th Anniversary Wes Craven's "SCREAM" (DECEMBER 20, 1996)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (R.I.P. WES CRAVEN)
As just a mere peasant RUclips subscriber I love that there is no heads up to what you guys might put up on the channel and what a lovely surprise this is👍
I agree. It’s always a nice surprise when they drop a banger out of the blue.
Hey Octokrool, I just wanna say keep doing what you're doing guys, I always enjoy watching u guys react and u guys make me laugh so much and u guys rock in my opinion. I really really recommend the other 4 scream movies, the only weakest one sort of on what some people would agree is part 3 but I like all 5 of them. Trust me guys it's worth watching all of them and the newest one is so good. If alot of people don't agree with me that's probably because they weren't born in the 80's in my opinion. Anyway I hope u guys watch at least the newest one if not the rest of them.
Randy was talking about the Rules, how to successfully survive a horror movie when he said, “I never thought I’d be so happy to be a virgin” 😂
I can't watch this without thinking about Scary Movie and laughing my ass off. LOL
something maybe lost on modern audiences. the girl in the beginning was drew barrymore -- a huge star at the time. she chose that instead of the main role because she thought it would be a big twist to kill off the big name star in the first ten minutes.
I *love* this movie (And all of it’s sequels, so I hope that you guys react to them as well!) and I’ve watched a *shit ton* of first time reactions to it. Some of which are by incredibly witty and enjoyable people. And I’ve gotta say that your “Oh! He’s a personality guy! Nice!” has now taken my #1 spot for Most Hilarious Response! LOL. (It was previously held by the amazing and hilarious RUclipsr Alanda Parker when she said in response to Billy’s, “What do I have to do to prove to you that I’m not a killer?”: _”Change your face!!”_ LOL. So… yeah… congratulations!! This must be quite the monumental moment for you! Hahaha.
Fright Night (1985), classic movie, i recommend
The sequels are worth the watch!
“See we ask you questions and if you get them wrong… boogah!!!”
Interesting word choice indeed. I was saying it for months after this movie came out 😂
Love that you both were more concerned about the popcorn than Drew getting killed lol
That was dumb, it wasn't even funny
Tbh, I was too when watching.
@@draculathegod7234it was definitely funny Karen
The joke with the janitor dressed as Freddy Krueger. Wes Craven directed Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream R.I.P. Wes
This movie is a classic. I think part of the reason that we didn't suspect Billy when this originally came out was because yes he acted strange but they are also in high school and he played that weird loner boy role. I also think it was to make us think it was obvious but then show that it's not as obvious as we think and then add another twist. Either way when I watch it now, I'm like yeah you can tell something is off with Billy!! This movie definitely changed horror and that is also what makes it a classic. I'm glad you enjoyed this one and hopefully you check out the rest of them...although they aren't all good but worthy to see.
Scream was filmed in Glen Ellen, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Sonoma and Tomales, in Northern California.
The janitor that the principal, Henry Winkler (Fonzy from Happy Days) was talking to was Wes Craven (the director) dressed up like Freddie Krueger.
I honestly liked the principal. He genuinely cared about his students. True the touch was a bit weird, but it was 1996, it was a different time.
26:41. IMO. That’s what makes Scream one of the best horror movies ever made. The story and killer is so real not a demon or monster that just won’t die…. Great film
Another movie that is really hard to believe they have never seen or heard of. If they would just drop the “first time” from the title it’d be all good too
"these homes are absolutely fucking beautiful ... you're living the lives out there or you were living the lives"
I could not stop laughing at this comment. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The popcorn neglect always got me too 😂
Lol more people are more worried about some popcorn than a human life.
@@fynnthefox9078 Fires take human lives too
Kevin Williamson put in the popcorn as a sort of timer. As the popcorn heats up and burns, so does the tension between Ghostface and Casey.
@@MrParkerman6 That’s interesting… Makes sense!
This movie revived the horror genre in the 90’s much like Tombstone brought back westerns. At the time horror movies became a joke as Freddie and Jason became corny. This created horror for teens of the 90’s by putting the young popular good looking actors in these ensemble “scary” movies. After this we got “I know What you did…”, “Urban Legends” etc.
Scream 2 is actually an amazin sequel, actually all the movies in the franchise are very good!
Great development for Gale.
When you said you thought the song sounded familiar because of "Peaky Blinders," you're right when you later figured out it's the same song: "Red Right Hand" from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Scream has been a popular reaction movie this month. But of course it is Halloween season. This movie is classic to the opening to all those quotes and characters.
This is one of my favorite scary movies and brings back so many memories. I remember being in 9th grade and watching this movie on VHS at my best friend's house on a Friday night during a sleepover. Even though he was creepy, I remember how we all thought Billy was cute because he looked like a discount Johnny Depp. And when he and Stu were revealed to be the killers, I remember gasping and shouting out, "THEY'RE IN CAHOOTS!" and everyone laughing afterward. And when you look back on that video shop scene with Randy, Billy and Stu, it's amazing how much foreshadowing there was and how that scene pretty much gave up the end of the whole movie...and none of us knew it at the time. It was genius.
Still my favorite horror movie ever. 👻🔪 Hope you watch the whole series! The sequels are actually worth it lol.
Henry Winkler played principle Himbry. He was uncredited in the film. Most famous as Fonzie, in Happy Days
Linda Blair was the obnoxious reporter. Henry Winkler was The Fonz. Freddy-dressed guy was Wes Craven...director of Scream and Elm Street! ALSO Hulu has a NEW REBOOT OF HELLRAISER RIGHT NOW!😁
Poor Principal Fonzie...
HAHAHA "that guy is so familiar... is his name Henry or something?" Yeah that is the Fonz. one of the most iconic TV characters of all time
The song you think was playing in the movie is really by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds song, Red Right Hand. Billy had mommy abandonment issue even though it was his father’s choice. The principa, Mr. Himbrey, is played by Henry Winkler who played The Fonz in the tv show in the ‘70’s, Happy Days. This movie had that predicability element but it there were parts where it threw off the viewer until the end. This movie was filmed in Northern California and the houses there are beautiful. Hope you guys are the other parts to Scream. There is a new Scream 6 that will take place in New York City even though it’s filmed somewhere in Canada. As I always say, no matter what you choose to react to next I will be looking forward to seeing. Take care guys!
This movie's soundtrack was how I discovered both Nick Cave and Eels, which remain favorites to this day.
Dewey is a KING. An icon. A legend. He’s just goofy lmao.
The original title was scary movie and it was meant to be a spoof of slasher films but people took it seriously
Makes the later spoof film being titled scary movie that much funnier
And maybe better
This movie started my love of horror movies. I love everyone's first reaction to Drew Barrymore. Glad you enjoyed scream!! It's a classic
How can you not like Dewey? He's def a fan favorite. Can't please everybody, I guess.
We do like Dewey.....he's just fun to make fun of.....lol......weird.......................
_”THE POPCORN!!!”_ 🤣🤣🤣 folks getting sliced and diced willy nilly for no reason and y’all are panicked about the dang jiffy-pop! made my night! y’all are awesome!
I hope you guys watch the whole franchise!! 🤞💕
This is one of my favorites thanks for watching!! Fun fact, the principal is the Fonz. Henry Winkler. Enjoy watching you guys you make me feel less alone watching all these movies!
And I should say you gotta do the sequels!
Fun fact for you guys, in the scene where Billy gets stabbed by the umbrella Neve Campbell actually missed the padding and stabbed Skeet Ulrich for real so that was a real cry of pain from him in that moment.
Them getting annoyed by the popcorn annoyed me.💀
"Oh, he's a personality guy" - Just spat my water!
I hope you do the rest of the franchise! I haven't watched the newest one from this year, I love the whole franchise, though some are better than others.
The guy who you couldn't recognize playing the principal is Henry Winkler. He's been in a few Adam Sandler movies such as "The Waterboy". Also, he is well known for playing the cool greaser Fonzie on the hit 70s sitcom "Happy Days"
Please react to the whole series. This is one of the horror franchises that manages to be consistently good
I just love you two.🥰🥰 Your reactions to urban movies has to be my favorite. Yall are very understanding and not afraid to say or express how certain scenes make tou feel .Theres nothing like it. The End.❤❤
The principal is THE FONZ from happy days!!!!
The Scream movies don't have a bad one in the lot. They're all fun. A little secret, they're all connected. It's one of the few movie series that I recommend the entire series to people.
If you want to try something that's disturbing as hell and will give you quite a few jumpscares I'd suggest you give Jeepers Creepers a try. It's one of the best modern age monster movies ever made. Another great one is John Carpenter's The Fog (1980). Another fun monster movie.
I’m here to tell you guys as a fan of your Channel, Pt 2 is the best one out of the Scream franchise. Please do a reaction❕
The principle is Henry Winkler, most famous for playing "The fonz" on Happy days, in fact, the moment he fixes his hair in the mirror is a homage to that character.
