Or Aunt? Or adoptive Aunt?

The entire ending of the film from the "killer(s) revealed" scene through the death of Stu and Billy is one of the best endings of any movie ever. Stu and Billy's acting are truly bone chilling and it was a tortuous few minutes to live through in the best way possible

[@josh043p6]

Seriously. That entire final act is just perfect. Seeing the killers stabbing themselves is something that blew my mind as a kid, and it still holds up today with how twisted it all feels

[@DodoRibeiro-ts6po]

The final act is the best part of the movie besides the opening, while Stu is still having a hell of time enjoying the scene, Billy is far more chilling and sociopathic so in point he didn't mind stabbing his partner deeply to frame him along with Sidney's father as the killer. A acting

[@jsh7939]

I still go back to watch that scene. The first film is good overall but that final act is MINDBLOWING. Everything from 'we all go a little mad sometimes' is PEAK cinema.

[@VivaLaDnDLogs]

I love the way they turn the tables in the ending scene! In Slashers, the killer has all the power, all the speed, all the smarts, and all the luck. Once Billy & Stu took off the masks, they lost that power. When Sid found the costume, she gained all that power. Slashers become the Slashees!

i mean if we’re being honest she would’ve been callous and uncaring either way because at that point while she did genuinely like dewey, she liked having the glory way more. she hadn’t developed yet. it’s a nice parallel to the sequel, where she stops giving the story completely once she sees dewey on the stretcher-showing that she finally puts him over her dream. she has matured.

[@PokeshadowYT]

I had the joy of showing unspoiled friends Scream on Halloween, and they went in not knowing who the killers were. Before the grand reveal, they were actually convinced it was either DEWEY to make a story Gale could cover, or the POLICE CHIEF because it made you look at his shoes right after seeing ghostface's shoes, and they looked the same. Even though my hyperobsessed ass told them in the bathroom scene that was just another kid fucking around and not a real ghostface attack. Even after the Billy reveal, they were absolutally floored by the Stu reveal, they hadn't even concidered two killers! Was such a good night

[@aria5572]

yes !! i showed my partner the movie for the first time and they were so into it - they guessed billy at first and when he “died” they looked at me like “oh..” only to once again give me that reaction when he made his big reveal. i ended up telling them all the little easter eggs and stuff after and it was amazing to share that with them

[@serbmgerb]

I was that friend on Halloween with my friends. Honestly, I did consider that there might be two killers and one of them was Billy before. Then Billy got “killed” and I thought there was no way it could be him.

I was 14 when Scream came out and I vividly remember renting it with a friend for a sleepover. We got through the opening scene (watching it from her living room situated next to a big glass sliding door and her lit backyard pool), looked at each other and just quietly pressed stop because we were too freaked out to continue watching. 🤣

[@KitsuneYashaX48]

I honestly think one of my favorite parts of this movie, at least in terms of the greatness of simple face acting, is when Gale's re-gale-ing Kenny with the idea of Cotton being innocent, and Kenny has that little smile of "Oh, hey, maybe she's not so bad!" And then the whole, "Do you KNOW what that could do for my book sales?!" followed by Kenny's poor little 😟 face.

[@JillLulamoon]

I have to just appreciate how good Ghostface's design is sometimes. It's so simple but so memorable. I think Ghostface is still the most popular costume worn for Halloween in the US. Further plays into the idea that Ghostface isn't a person but an identity. Anybody can be him, even you. What a great horror icon and what a great movie.

[@user-fb4sb1zi8g]

The best opening scene ever! Between Wes’s directing, Kevin’s writing, Drew’s acting, Roger’s voice, the lighting, music, set, lighting, costume, and effects, it’s perfect!

[@Harrison_big_lad]

Fun fact: Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich were both in the comeing of age horror film "The Craft" in the same year as Scream. With Skeet also play a not nice boyfriend type. Neve was originally going to say no to playing Sydney, until she found out that Skeet was going to be in the film

Remember going to see this in a first date… back then the Internet was a semi new and thank God it wasn’t spoiled for either of us. We had no idea who the killer was… I figured it might be ONE of the two but NOBODY knew it was both of them…. It gained popularity so fast

Why is it worth all the waiting? Why not just watch the original scream kill count he already did

[@Nicholas_Chen_]

Scream franchise is now known as ‘the most consistent horror franchise’ and it is justified, not a single bad installment, and the original is really peak slasher. Masterpiece. Also Stu is iconic, that one character alone just adds so much to the film it easily beats any other horror films. It’s sort of like Sam Raimi, camp but can be taken seriously too.

I think Mathew Lilard's over-the-top performance works. Since Stu Macher's motive for doing the killing is that he thinks it's fun/possible, he's also in with Billy Loomis. The ending scene in the movie where Mathew Lillard goes full-blown camp had always been interpreted by me as a sign that Stu's sanity is slipping

[@TheBeardedMaineiac]

One of the best things this movie series did was the growth of Dewey. From start to finish his growth feels real. His ending as traumatic as it was was also a beautiful ending to his character

Yes! I see so many people specifically get mad about his death. They always say how it wouldn't be possible for Amber to take him down. However, I think it made sense. He's got permanent nerve damage in his leg, he's a depressed - forcibly retired - alcoholic, and decision making in dire situations has never been his strong point. It makes sense that a psychotic, adrenaline filled teenage girl would be able to best an aging alcoholic. Don't get me wrong, I loved Dewey. I was crushed when he died. But it made sense.

Also how easy it was to injure people with phones back in the 90s.
