In regards to the killer tricking the victim with a question, I think another good one would have been asking who was the first Ghostface victim, most people would say Casey realize their mistake and say Steve and then realize their second msitake and say Maureen. I thought I was so smart for thinking of that and then I saw it was one of the questions the killer originally asked Kirby in the Scream 4 script.

[@silentsaturn7604]

Technically Maureen wasn't a "Ghostface" victim though.

[@JuanJose-fw1eg]

@@silentsaturn7604 you can see it however you like, to me she was killed by Billy and Stu aka the Ghostface killers, we don't know if they were wearing the costumes but I don't really care. I mean, do Derek, Trevor and Liv not count as Ghostface victims because they were killed by the killers out of costume? The Ghostface voice even takes credit for her murder while on the phone with Sidney. The Scream 4 script also considers Maureen to be the correct answer (it doesn't make it into the final film so you can ignore this), the Scream 6 poster with every víctim's name includes her (but calls Nancy Loomis, Debbie so it's not like it's free of errors). Again, you can see it however you want, I'm not gonna force you to think like me.

[@Madara8989]

@@coolnerdlll6053 Tbf, that's kind of your own extrapolation that they must not have used a costume because the movie didn't treat it as a major thing - but that ignores the fact that Billy & Stu, not Cotton, being the ones who killed her is treated as a major plot twist in the first film. It wouldn't make any sense to highlight Maureen's murder by "Ghostface" on screen because it would spoil the twist from the end of the first film and prevent Cotton from functioning as the red hearing he was created to be.

[@Madara8989]

@@coolnerdlll6053 Are you forgetting that the police knew so little of what actually happened the night Maureen was murdered that two highschool students managed to get a grown ass man who had nothing to do with it framed and charged with the crime? Yes, the police act like the costume is a new detail in the case because it's the first time they're learning of it. The police don't make a big deal of Steve and Casey being killed by a costumed killer either because they didn't know at the time. No one had any reason to believe anyone was being murdered by a costumed killer - It's not like Billy & Stu were acting like fucking Batman villains and leaving Ghostface masks at the scene of their crimes. You're acting like the characters are omniscient and know everything the audience knows in real-time. That's how young children watch movies...

[@ShockerTopper]

I haven't heard the term "latchkey kids" in like 2 decades I feel like. I remember growing up when I realized I was a latchkey kid and it wasn't a certain generation of kids from the early 80's to late 80's. Everything was just 'safe' so parents could be 'bad parents' but at the same time the kids learned to take care of themselves out of necessity. It's not a good or a bad thing, it's just life. Everyone has a different life, I'll never know what the normal family life would have felt like, but that's how things go.

The amount of work and detail you Put into your stuff is why you are my favorite horror movie KZbin, amazing stuff man. Can't wait for more. Especially the who killed who in scream 6.

[@jameslott748]

Personally I think it's pretty easy for Sidney to still be in all Stab Movies other than 8. In Scream 4 they said they couldn't use Sidney's stories anymore not that they couldn't use the character of Sidney. In Scream 3 the Stab 3 they were filming wasn't based on Sidney's real life but still had the Stab Sidney in it.

[@silentsaturn7604]

They cannot legally use her likeness unless it's based on true events, as one doesn't own their own life story. As soon as they start making stuff up, they need her permission. She probably agreed to the original Stab 3 to make enough money to go into hiding.

[@coolnerdlll6053]

My thought was that the character has a cameo in 4-7. Think of her as the Stan Lee of the Stab franchise.

[@silentsaturn7604]

​@@coolnerdlll6053 I like to think the Killers just got it wrong. Toxic fans are known for getting their stuff wrong as they don't care as much as they pretend, they just wanna complain. So it fits the commentary.

If asked to, would you consider working on Scream 7? I'm almost surprised you haven't cameo'd yet given the creators who have. But I also understand that being directly involved would probably compromise the objectivity we get from your content. Support you either way, Daddy Cherry. You're the reason I check the closet every time somebody asks me what my favorite Scary movie is.

[@dylanshorrorchannel1378]

The only creators who’ve cameod have been Dead meat and that’s because they have over 3 mil subs. We don’t need random KZbinrs being in these big budget Hollywood films it just cheapens the movie.

[@champe0n61]

Thanks@@dylanshorrorchannel1378 for the opinion nobody asked for. I didn't mean to imply Dead Meat was undeserving of the cameo. I meant that this channel is quite specialized in Scream content, though yes, it has branched out more and more. Other KZbinrs who talk about Scream often cite this channel. Your suggestion that this Zack is just a "Random KZbinr' is disrespectful and dismissive. Next time you need to chime in, check your tone.

[@alexmccarthymusic6683]

I love scream a lot too. Your videos make me feel like someone else cares too. Thanks for the good content

[@jordancrossgrove8827]

To be faaaaair, in Scream 4 they only said “she threatened to sue if they used her story, so they just started making stuff up….Stab 5 has time travel…” etc. So, technically they never said Sydney WASN’T in the rest of the Stab movies past the third one, they just said they couldn’t use “her story” anymore. Which obviously would make sense because at that point in time her story was “completed” or “over,” since the events of Scream 4 were just starting to take place.. but still, I have to say there’s definitely a possibility that Sydney’s character was in the remaining Stab movies beyond the “original trilogy.” Especially considering that these days, most franchise movies thrive and live on bringing back the older “legacy characters” and using them to enrich their story and movie. And we all know that the Scream franchise has always been ahead of it’s time by a few years/a solid decade. I mean that really wasn’t the M.O. of Hollywood in 2011, but by 2022 bringing back legacy characters was (and still is) all the rage.

[@ZackCherry]

What would happen then is Sidney would sue the studio. She would likely garnish most of Stab 4’s box office, and if they hadn’t gone bankrupt by that point, they would be stupid to tempt fate again with Stab 5. Plus, we know she was only in the first three Stabs because Kirby confirms it. People like to think that line isn’t canon because the scene where she says it was deleted for time, but that dialogue emphasizes the intent behind the Jenny line.

In the intro, Tara is dressed like Audrey Hepburn in 'Wait Until Dark', the pink top.

[@H0lyMoley]

This is only going to be a "thing" if Tara does turn out to be a killer in S7 (hello, half-sibling killer from a third Scream film), but there's a rather blatant callback to Sydney asking Debbie Salt "Isn't Mickey supposed to be dead?" to distract her. Mickey later on provides the final scare by bounding up, very much alive. In other words, a character tells something they think is a lie but turns out to be true. In the same vein, Ritchie points to Tara as a possible killer to Sam in the basement minutes before he reveals himself as a killer. Another case of a character believing they're lying, but actually telling the truth without realising it? Add that to the other plethora of hints in Screams 5 and 6 that Tara has a face-heel turn coming I guess...

[@silentsaturn7604]

I think they could just go with a long lost relative and make Daddy Carpenter the killer.

[@coolnerdlll6053]

[@mandingo5545]

A thing I’ve been thinking about since seeing Scream 5 & 6 is how much they mirror 1 & 2. In 5 the opening scene is very similar with 1, with a teenage girl being alone in the house, getting a phone call, threatening a loved one etc, in Scream 5 the characters are (mostly) in High School, the killer is the boyfriend and the finale takes place in Stu Machers house. In Scream 6 the opening scene is not alike, but the characters have moved from Woodsborough to college, the killer is a parent of a previous killer and the finale takes place on a stage surrounded by fake flames. There are probably more similarities I’m missing while quickly writing this out, but it sure is interesting trying to theorize what’s gonna happen in the inevitable Scream 7. Personally I think the setting is a rebooting of the Stab franchise in-movie trying to make the franchise based on ”real life” again and we get a clear parallel to Scream 3

[@Red_and_Blue_Studios]

I asked for this along time ago and I’m so excited, also the long time ago is no hate you. You are one of my favorite KZbinrs.😊

This might just be a coincidence, but since there are a lot of similarities between Scream (2022) and the original, I noticed they are the only two movies where both killers are wearing their “civilian clothes” when they reveal themselves. Every other movie has at least one killer pulling off the Ghostface mask

"Walker" might be referencing the 1982 film "Silent Rage" as its protagonist was played by Chuck Norris, whose iconic TV role is... @4:35, and guess what film Wes Craven played a janitor named Freddy in? @8:02, unless they graduated EARLY? @8:17, actually, Tara would've been technically correct as the wording says "name the killer", "name the KILLERS", giving Tara a 50/50 shot. @10:00, a reference to "Carrie" (either the 1976 film or its 2013 remake)? @13:37, plus who played the Ghostface that had a flamethrower? Matthew Lillard! @14:17, not to mention ""Halloween" 's original title was "The Babysitter Murders" @18:44, a reference to "Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon"? @22:01, not to mention, it falls apart because Derek WASN'T one of the killers, even though he had the hots for Sidney. @22:17, gonna have to stop you there: Jill Roberts was the cousin of Sidney Prescott and jealous of her for ALWAYS getting the glory ("why can't you be more like Sidney?") and for being a survivor. @23:11, a reference to the actor Mark Patton from "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge"? @23:17, one of his contacts is named Malachi: obviously "Children of the Corn". @26:20, then, wouldn't that include "Black X-Mas", which was a remake of 1974's "Black Christmas"? @30:19, a reference to the 4th "Scream" film, which was "Scre4m" @30:50, "all about time travel" makes me think of "Happy Death Day"
