Matthew Lillard was awesome in this (albeit his descent into playing that 'type' of character... I think the only role he had where he wasn't 'goofy comic relief' was when he was in Wing Commander, with Freddie Prinze Jr and Saffron Burrows...)

I think with another actor Stu would have come off as just annoying, but somehow Matthew managed to make him a funny and entertaining character. Stu is one of my favorite Ghostfaces because of Matthew’s performance.

The writers wanted the audience to expect the obvious; that Billy was the killer (which he was). But what they didn’t want us to expect was the fact that there were *TWO* killers. That’s the plot twist.

[@Cloudburst2000]

There are actually some clues that there is more than one killer. I definitely figured out that he was in cahoots with someone during the garage scene. And then so many things made more sense…like how he got Drew strung up so fast, etc.

Drew Barrymore is iconic in this. Barely in the entire franchise, yet she’s the first person I always think of when someone mentions Scream.

[@oregonchick76]

They featured her so prominently in the advertising for the movie and she was the only real "big celebrity" in the cast at that time, so it was a TOTAL shock to see her die in the introduction. You kept thinking she'd escape because she was the star -- instead it was Neve Campbell. So it was a brilliant start to the movie and a good indication that they'd be playing with the old horror movie tropes.

[@86forever]

@@oregonchick76 Yes!!! I think it was her idea... I think Wes wanted her in a bigger role but she suggested that her character die in the intro.

They pretty much show you who the killers are and then they distract you by putting a red herring in, such as the dad but Randy already said it wasn't him for that reason during the video store scene. Most people who know scary movie rules probably wouldn't suspect the boyfriend because it's too obvious and the most obvious is also usually a red herring, which is why this movie is so unique. It makes fun of scary movie tropes while being a scary movie trope. Yes, please continue the series.

The true sign a scary movie is scary is no matter how many times you see it. It still gets you.

I think it's because people are like..I spent all this money on this house, I want to enjoy all the views, undisturbed. But I have curtains on ALL my windows and French doors.

[@oregonchick76]

In Scream, it kind of made sense because the houses were often set in the woods or on acreage, so a lot of times, people don't put up curtains because the property provides privacy. Nobody is around to look in the windows. That said, if I ever live in the woods, ALL of my windows will be covered because that's just creepy at night. LOL

[@dancerkris95]

I love that whole scene when Randy (Jamie Kennedy) was watching "Halloween" by himself and telling Jamie Lee Curtis to turn around that he's behind you lol. Wes was creative with playing with their really names. Him telling himself that he Jamie needed to turn around because ghostface was behind him. The way Wes Craven creates those little things is amazing and brilliant! - I don't know if you caught it or not but the whole last 20-30mins everything that was happening around the house it was perfectly mirroring with what was happening in Halloween lol

[@shainewhite2781]

Love this movie! The tagline on the poster reads: "Someone has taken their love for scary movies a little too far." The opening scene was on Bravo's 100 Scary Movie Moments. When people saw the opening, they thought Drew Barrymore was going to be the hero, they were in for a shocking surprise.

[@sumnerhayes3411]

They were going for a shock (Drew was originally cast as the lead, but switched to the smaller part because she thought it'd be a clever bait and-switch), but it didn't really work out. The “star actress dies off early” trope was already very well-established in horror movies (it goes back at least to Psycho), and all of the reviews back then talked about Neve Campbell as the actual heroine of the movie. If you read the Entertainment Weekly review from the time, it says that explicitly. If you read Ebert's review, he basically said it in so many words. So most people already knew about the twist going into theaters.

[@flibbidyx2]

@@sumnerhayes3411 Not everyone reads the reviews ahead of time, and the trailers made a point to show Drew Barrymore as if she was the main character. Plenty of people didn't know going in.

[@dawb86]

@@flibbidyx2 Facts. Neve wasn't as well known at the time and Drew was the biggest film star of the younger members in the cast. Even on the promotional poster Drew's shown more prominently than any other character on purpose to throw the audience off. In the era before social media the twist worked quite effectively and it arguably remains the best opening scene of the last 30 or so years in all of horror cinema...

[@Nostalgic90s765]

@@sumnerhayes3411 While all that's true, it's not like people really sought that out back then. I was in junior high when this came out and fully expected Drew Barrymore to the be star.

[@chotzrary]

@@sumnerhayes3411 Scream was a hit because of word of mouth. Drew Barrymore was the face of Scream, she was GenX's sweetheart and we were all shocked she died in the first 12 minutes. Back then, horror movies became a joke. Scream was the movie that brought back horror movies lovers, and especially teens. Who wanted a good movie and a good scare, not straight to video B-horror. That's the reason it was such a massive hit. After Scream, Hollywood decided to make copycats with a twist and still made the heroine likeable. Even if she wasn't a virgin. It's why the franchise is still beloved and the new recent horror movies forgettable. Stick to the rules, like this and Halloween, and fans will still line up.

[@xXSaiyanElite757Xx]

Thank you both for reacting to this. Scream is one of my favs & still holds up after over 25 years later. It definitely reinvented the horror genre in the mid 90s with it's focus on being meta, along with it's perfect balance of suspense, horror, mystery, & comedic elements. You both weren't the only ones that were caught off guard by the 1st 15 minutes of the movie as it still gets me to this day, lol. This is definitely one of the best gems from the late great Wes Craven & if you continue on with seeing the rest, you both won't be disappointed.

[@kp22kc]

You two are so entertaining! I love how Asia had her blanket pulled up within the first 5 minutes and your laugh kills me. The scene where Tatum was stuck in the cat door....she had to be strapped in because she was small enough to fit through so she slipped out. It's great watching you watch shows that you've never seen before. A lot of fun with you guys!

[@GruffyddFO4]

They can't make up their minds how much of her is through the door, either. They cut back and forth inside to outside, and even though she's supposed to be stuck, her most prominent features keep moving back and forth through the door, showing that she should have slipped right out.

The movie is of course filled with references, but here are 2 I really enjoy. The reporter who asked Sydney how does it feel to be almost brutally butchered is played by Linda Blair. Regan from the Exorcist. When Randy is saying Jamie, look behind u, he's referring to Jamie Lee Curtis, but the actor's first name is also Jamie.

[@dawb86]

Watching this reaction got me to notice an easter egg I never spotted all these years: in the video store scene, there's a promotional poster for the film 'Mother's Boys' starring Jamie Lee Curtis, who also starred in 'Halloween,' obviously an influence on this film. The plot of that film is about a woman who "abandons" her husband and three sons then attempts to get him back from his new girlfriend and convinces her eldest son that the girlfriend is the thing standing in the way of their family reuniting. It wouldn't necessarily be a clue to Billy being the killer until after watching the full film but once you know the story it's a clever little in-joke to the audience if you will. If I'm not mistaken, doesn't Sidney even call Billy a mama's boy near the end of the film?

The reason they made the noise is because the killer was in the closet when she opened it. If you rewatched that scene before she falls asleep and get the call you can hear noises from the closet.

There's 5 movies, a 6th is on the way. And yeah, this movie basically saved the slasher movie genre in the 90s. Even people who don't care for the scream movies generally like this one.

[@paulomoniz679]

My favourite from this was Asia saying "the popcorns burning" she was terrified lmao

[@stephaniegittinger7980]

"Why she ain't got no curtains?" Haha😅

[@CoasterTrax]

They were a lot of hints that shows the killers, but it was subtle. But they did a good job by misleading us. Even the sherif had the same shoes like the killer or Randy as movie buff was a red herring, bcs the killer played also a trivia game with their victims before killing them. Back in the 90s it wasn’t typical to have 2 killers. So this was quite a good suprise. It was also a huge suprise that they killed Drew Barrymore in the first 10 min. She was supposed to play Sidney but asked for the role of Casey Becker. She sad they will be surprised. Bcs back then she was one of the most popular teen stars and well known. They also promoted the movie with her face. Every thought she’s gonna survive. So they did the best job to subvert our expectations troughout the movie. Pls watch scream 2-5

[@blackknight1013]

They gave it away as Billy by the phone calls really. The way he speaks is quite unique in timing, so even disguised his vocal pattern gives him up as the killer, at least for me it did when I first watched it. And Asia if you don't want everyone to vote for Scream 2 you'll need to not give such hilarious reactions to every scary parts. In other words, my guess is you'll be watching it. :D

[@SamJackson-xu1py]

Plus Billy showing up right after both Neve and Rose were attacked/killed at least always showed he was involved.

[@williamjamesayers7719]

One film to check out from 1957: 12 Angry men. You definitely won't be disappointed and I can see both of you enjoying such an intelligently written screenplay. It was re done in 1997, but the remake does not stand close to the 1957 version. I can honestly say you both will definitely love the film.

[@dancerkris95]

A little backstory of how Scream got created. Kevin Williamson (writer of I know what you did last summer, Dawson's Creek and The vampire diaries) wrote the story, originally titled Scary Movie, and based the plot loosely on the 1990 case of the Gainesville Ripper. It was a string of murders in a small town... Then it was changed to "Scream" cause the Ghostface costume was a close resemble to the Scream painting. The Ghostface costume was originally going to be all white but Wes Craven said it was to much like the KKK so he did the black robe with white face. Kevin wanted to create a story that has horror but also with some comedy of making it a self aware with the horror universe. But also use a relatable story that truly happened as a base line. So many Directors wanted to be apart of it there was even a big bidding war. He chose Wes Craven cause he was the only one who truly understood the story and his vision. Kevin wrote majority of the franchise and Wes Craven directed all of the Scream movies except for the new one "Scream 2022". He died after making the 4th Scream. Roger L. Jackson is the voice of Ghostface in all 5 Screams. The title of "Scary Movie" ended up being used for the parody movies. The 1st Scary Movie was about Scream, Scream 2, I know what you did last summer, the Blair witch project, Urban Legend, the sixth sense, The usual suspects, the Matrix, a very brief Dawson's Creek. .

[@davidgarrido5506]

Part of why this movie is so iconic is several scenes hint at who the killer is When Billy is at Sidney’s house he turns up the radio to prevent her from hearing Stu knock out and kidnap mr Prescott The look he gives Stu after Tatum’s death Him accidentally dropping the phone after Ghostface attacks her at her house

[@naticastrong3490]

I'm excited for this one! Y'all are on a roll! Other movie reaction people doing non-scary movies during "Spooky Season"! Like WTF! Did they not get the memo!🤣🤣🤣

[@heatherdale5571]

Being raised on horror since I was a kid, I loved Wes Craven, Nightmare on Elm St was and still is one of my favorites. But horror had been dead for some time by the time Scream came out. And Wes came out with a blood curdling scream! I was so thrilled that he once again changed the way we experience horror! This is another of my comfort films. Scream was an instant classic. No question. Thank the gods for Wes! Looking forward to watching you enjoy the experience!

[@007odc]

I guess you guys didn’t recognize the “Freddie Kruger” reference since “Wes Craven” created Freddie….Wes Craven was the janitor in the hall the principal was looking at…he was wearing the friddie stripe sweater and hat as a call back to freddy from nightmare on elm street which he directed

[@NikkiKNuvo]

I vividly remember the first time I saw Scream. Three of my cousins and my two older sisters were there. We rented the movie from Blockbuster and had Papa Johns pizza delivered for our sleepover. We had sooo much fun screaming & hiding under our blankets just like Asia. I was like 10-11. Loved the entire Scream franchise ever since!

[@adnap]

So many interesting facts about this movie. The names of some of the characters are directly referencing characters of classic Horror films before it. Loomis = Doctor Loomis I also noticed one of the actors names in the original Halloween had the last name Loomis, so they likely named the doctor after that actor. A similar tradition seems to be carried on in Scream. “Drive down to the Mackenzie’s” another subtle Halloween reference. There are Wes Craven references, John Carpenter, and a little from Friday The 13th. The Janitor Fred/Freddy scene is actually Wes Craven. The scene with Billy climbing in Sidney’s window and the fact that they deliberately cast him to look like a young Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street. The Sheriff is played by the same actor from the original Nightmare on Elm Street. The “People deserve to know, how does it feel?” reporter is Linda Blair the young actress that was Reagan in The Exorcist. Though some of it may seem a bit dated, it’s all brilliantly done. When Sidney jumps out and stabs Billy with the Umbrella, she made direct contact with a wound he had from surgery, so his scream is genuine pain. Drew Barrymore was famous as a model and an actress. (Even a Playboy Model) Already a veteran of starring roles, she was initially offered the part of Sidney Prescott, but it was her idea to instead be killed in the first scene opening which she knew no one would expect, thereby catching them completely off guard. (The death of America’s sweetheart) They do a great job making everyone look guilty. Focusing on close-up shots of shoes, and displaying suggestive behaviors. Like Randy says, Everybody’s a suspect. When Billy throws the phone and hits Stu, his response: “Ow! You hit me with the phone, dick!” was improv but was kept in because of its obvious comedic relief. Things you don’t notice about the film until the second time around you watch it: When Sidney says “If Tatum sees you, she’ll draw blood; If you look at Billy, you can can see him react accordingly through his expressions, considering he is the one that killed her. Obviously, Stu was still inside hosting the party. Speaking of Tatum, Rose McGowan had to be fixed to the doggy door of the garage, because she COULD fit easily through it on the practice runs. Also, it is believed that Stu had feelings for Billy, hence the reason he killed innocent people in the name of helping Billy to exact his revenge. The movie is called “SCREAM” because the mask design was inspired by the painting “The Scream,” and thus it becomes a double meaning.

[@thecustomizer2008]

Kenny (The Camera Man) never gets credits. He always puts up with Gail’s shit and they were probably actual good co workers, and he was prepared to run into the house to save Randy knowing the killer was inside and he used his last moment to point out the crawl space in the van

[@sweetkiss119]

That was a blast to watch with you guys. Grew up with this movie and the entire franchise is so fantastic!!! Please watch the rest. You know you liked it Asia lol I’ve never seen you so scared.

[@someonescomment5705]

My heart broke watching that opening scene when “Casey Becker” Drew said MOM and then her mom sees her hanging from her Tree swing . After that I KNEW I was in for a ride . This film did NOT disappoint. Top 3 film for me .

[@Roh_Echt]

We've had this movie since it came out. I transferred it from VHS to DVD. We watch it every year when we start our Halloween movie marathon.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

25:15 If there's one thing that makes me sad, it's that kids today will never know the beauty of the 90s house party. No BS electronic devices to distract everybody; just good booze, great snacks and a bunch of friends causing trouble while they watch old movies or pay TV. You get drunk and play grunge/alternative music really loudly until 3:50 in the morning when the police arrive and break everyone's wrists. Good times!

[@janethoffman4197]

This is one of the best reactions I’ve ever seen!😂 The movie’s great too!

[@williamjamesayers7719]

fun fact: Tatum and Dewey's mom in SCREAM is Billy's mom from GREMLINS.

[@renaymatthews6929]

Great reactions. This is one of my all-time favorite scary movies. Asia had it right a couple of times. My brother and I had birthdays in August and we went to see all 4 in theaters together. They are fun movies. You guys are funny.

[@shhh5260]

It was Drew Barrymore that chose her role. She was cast as Sydney, but wanted to die 1st. Then everyone knew that no character was safe. I remember her earning topbilling, and in the theater I was floored when she died immediately.

[@singingwordwright148]

I love this movie so much for being so self-referential and genre-aware. The dude who revolutionized the horror genre with Nightmare on Elm Street came back again when the genre had sort of petered out and revolutionized it AGAIN by making fun of his own genre. It's awesome.

[@corym.m.3084]

I remember the first time I watched this. I think it was in 2000 on vhs during the summer. We rented the movie from blockbuster and we got scared to where we paused the movie on the ghost face mask. It was a fun time back then.

[@killianlpc]

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.

[@ThompsonKimber]

20:06 the women who asked that question is Linda Blair. The little girl who played Reagan McNeil in The Exorcist 1973.

[@tonyponchopeters]

Wow Thanks! I grew up with this movie and honestly never noticed that detail.

[@jasonwilliams5046]

“Oh my GAWD, girl...the popcorn is burnin”

[@ChadSimpson-ft7yz]

Also people criticize the fact that she didn't run when she saw her parents coming home. That's literally why didn't. Clever writing.

[@carolinedoyle7236]

Brilliant reaction guys! I watched this when it first came out, I can't believe how much I forgot about it 😅

[@cally1941]

I was too young to see this on the big screen when it was released. That’s why I went to see the latest one when it came out in January. Classic movie that still holds up today. When you get round to watching the sequels, enjoy. The 3rd one gets a lot of criticism but I think it’s way better than the 4th. Matthew (Stu) ad libbed a lot during the killer reveal scene and the director found his lines funny and decided to keep them in the movie lol

[@MultiGreenG]

*"GIRL! THE POPCORN IS BURNING!"* LMFAOOOOOOOOO

[@niki7997]

This was around the year I graduated high school. And I've always LOVED horror. Especially the quintessential slasher like "Nightmare on Elm St." & "Friday the 13th". But it;s so true, that it follows a formula so it gets pretty predictable. This was one of the 1st slasher movies I remember that was "self-aware" for lack of a better term, i guess...it kinda made fun of itself. I also loved how instead of trying to figure out who the killer could it be in this seemingly normal group...they made everyone crazy & a suspect at least at one point or another

[@unicornunicorn3249]

They rlly accused the camera man kenny 💀 I’m dead

[@stephaniegittinger7980]

So is Kenny

[@Tony-fq5bn]

Scream legit might be the coolest movie of all time, its crazy how well it holds up almost 30 years later, and its like the best movie to watch with your girlfriend

[@MrPingn]

Asia getting her cardio in while sitting still.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

This movie was the best thing since the OG horror movies of the 80's. Jump scares and attractive people everywhere, they show you the killer, then make you think it's everyone else. Loved this when it came out.

[@bhz4]

“Why they gotta make all these noises all she did was open the closet” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Asia is me whenever i watch horror films 🤣😂

[@SamJackson-xu1py]

Then she heard the creek in the closet before she napped. Wes was clever.

[@thejamppa]

Wes Craven... He was genious and be sorely missed.
