Scream (1996) Movie REACTION!

[@hissatsu4937]

I was totally mindblown when this came out. It amazed me in so many ways how different Scream was compared to so many other slasher/horror movies. 20+ years later and no other horror movie has come no where close to this.

Linda Blair cameo, "The people have the right to know!" She was the girl possessed in The Exorcist.

[@williamsummerson1204]

I'm a casual scream fan. This is easily the best in the franchise in my humble opinion but some like the sequels more. I guessed who all the ghost face killers were really early on in the movies but it's cool to see people get shocked by the reveals. Very entertaining reaction Madison.

[@robh8814]

Having discovered your channel with "The Towering Inferno" & after watching a few videos, Ive gone right back to beginning & working my way through the old video's. What is great fun to watch is your reactions or your thoughts about a film Ive seen & I know whats going to happen & you haven't got a clue. Im constantly thinking, "If you think that was bad, then its going to get a heck alot worse". Also with some react channels then you just cant listen because the people get on your wick. Thankfully that isnt the case with you & a genuine reaction & thought process. Alot of these films I saw back in the 80's (Top Gun) & Jaws so good fun to watch someone watching & reacting to them without knowing what is round the next corner for them.

[@stephenniehaus8635]

The movie does a good job keeping you guessing. Billy was everyone's guess until he's cleared. The principal was low key suspicious with his violent judgment with students until killed. Even Dewey was suspicious because of the boots and his annoyance with his sister and how he's usually ignored. The double killer angle threw everyone off

[@CezaryAkakios]

The chemistry between Courteney Cox and David Arquette was real, as they began dating after filming this, and were married a few years later in 1999. Great reaction, I'm glad it made its way out of the vault.

[@MrParkerman6]

Incorrect! They began dating DURING production of Scream! NOT after!

Why doesn't a single reactor watching this movie, when they see the principal, immediately say "Hey, it's Fonzie!"? I hate being old. He was once the most recognizable character in American popular culture. Sigh. Otherwise, this is a great, intelligent reaction Madison, as always with you. Thanks for uploading these older reactions!

[@LA_HA]

Every time my friends and I watch the opening scene, we argue about the correct answer to the Friday The 13th question. Half of us maintain that the answer is Jason Voorhees because The Voice didn't state it was for the first movie versus the series. And, like Halloween, Myers is The Killer in the series. The other half are convinced that the answer is Mrs. Pamela Voorhees as The Killer in the first FT13 because he Never says series. He only says the name of the movie, the first of which was Friday the 13th; not FT13 Part whatever or series. Plus, the point was always to mislead the victim into giving the wrong answer. And around and around we go. haha

[@jackmars931]

This is one of those movies that you miss a lot of the fun with if you haven't seen a lot of slasher movies. It completely spoils Friday the 13th, somewhat spoils Halloween, has a cameo from Linda Blair and a major Easter egg from Nightmare on Elm Street, as well as callbacks to other movies. Another film like this is Cabin in the Woods, which just works better if you've seen The Evil Dead, The Ring, Hellraiser, and Alien and a few other 80s teen horror films so you understand the genre tropes and that's just to get the most in-your-face references and Easter eggs/Cameos.

[@johnpaullogan1365]

[@kmvoss]

I'll always remember putting this on for my dad back when it was new... and my sister walked into the room and pointed out who the killer was. My dad turned it immediately off and I'm pretty sure he's never seen it since... got about 15 minutes into it!

[@fidel2xl]

Good reaction, Madison. But it looks like you didn't realize that the girl who was killed in the very first scene was Drew Barrymore. What set 'Scream' apart from other Horror movies at the time, was it it featured a Hollywood A-list actress who was immediately killed off in the very first scene...LOL. No one expected that an actress of Drew Barrymore's stature would be immediately killed off. That was one of the movie surprises.

[@johnpaullogan1365]

the two killers twist was pretty novel then as well

[@1Haaku]

she did realize at the end of the reaction

[@Justafox305]

Random fact: if you like the vampire diaries, the guy who wrote scream 1,2, &4 is the same guy who wrote tvd seasons 1-3, that’s why the show writing went downhill by season 4. Also the tv show “Dawson’s creek” is based on his life (teen who dreams of making horror movies one day )

[@asian-americanwithanopinio8954]

I think going up the stairs gives you the advantage of higher ground, if they just think a little more, they'll stop at a height that kills and kick the culprit dead in the face and hope they break their neck on the way down

[@slchance8839]

i agree. so much advantage from elevated positions. she could stop at the first landing, get her footing and throw ANYTHING down the stairs, followed by anything else and the follower has to make sure they're not going to fall backwards.

[@canadianicedragon2412]

While I love seeing the "younger generation" react to this every time I see "first death" scene I always remember this was a twist for the time. Drew Barrymore was a big name and was in several, perhaps all, the trailers for the movie so audiences expected her to be a main character... and nope. Fun fact: the cat flap scene... she actually fit through the door so much... they had to "staple" her shirt to the frame to keep her from slipping through. Madison: Billy I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Me: 😈😏😛

[@johnpaullogan1365]

[@TomTomson81]

Billy was everyone's number 1 suspect. Until the time when he could no longer logically be. That's when Billy showed up at the window, when the killer even was gone from Sidney's door. It was clear to everyone that it couldn't be Billy. However, he was still portrayed so suspiciously that one believes that there must be errors in the logic in the movie. That's what the movie wanted. Constantly guessing and rejecting to the point of complete despair. Scream plays with all clichés and on a meta level. If you watch the movie again in the knowledge that there are 2 killers does everything really make sense. Even the intro works like this. Questions are asked that the victim cannot possibly answer correctly. If the victim had answered Jason's mother when asked who the killer was in Friday the 13th, they would have said it was Jason. Answer wrong and she is dead. The next question was behind which door the killer was. Whether back door or front door, there were two of them. One behind every door. Furthermore, one was on the phone and the other killed at the same time. Something similar was done shortly afterwards with Sydney. In addition to all the obvious clues, the movie has also given less obvious ones that repeatedly point to both perpetrators. For example, how the two look at each other when Billy comes to the party. Or generally how both behaved when they were together. You noticed a hint directly, but you didn't question it any further. Stu goes to get beer, but doesn't come back for a long time, even though he has to see his dead girlfriend in the garage. At that time, the movie was a milestone in the horror genre.

[@shanehenry7699]

Zack Cherry has some great videos on how the killers pulled off their plans.

[@NemeanLion-]

This was so great. I liked the film but it looked like you really had fun watching this. I’ll be sad when “from the vault” is over. I’m still pissed they killed The Fonz though. Lol

[@michaelpoore8368]

[@jonathanpowell7256]

Fun Fact - During rehearsals for the garage door scene the filmmakers found out that the actress playing Tatum COULD fit through the doggy door.😁

[@johnpaullogan1365]

to the point she kept falling out till they stapled her in place

[@jonbolton3376]

Yeah, i can confidently say that your early prediction that Stu Macher will die in this movie is true . Probably not in the way you expected at the time you said that. If you'd have said Stu will get killed by Sidney dropping a tv on him, which was screening Laurie fighting Michael in a closet, i'd either have awarded you the jackpot, or more likely questioned if it was really your first time, lol.

[@jennysutton7409]

I love this movie and here are a few fun facts...When casting courtney they didn't want to give her the part cause they thought she wasn't able to play a bitch as it were but she proved them wrong haha, the kiss between David and Courtney when they fell on each other was a real kiss the characters in he script never did so the just got off each other but they left it cause it seemed to fit...they were married when doing the second one I do believe,the janitor is of course homage to nightmare on elm street but the janitor was Wes Craven himself making a cameo, the part where Tatum got stuck in the door was done by them nailing a part of her shirt to the door because in reality they made it too big and the actress could easily get through,Neve and the actor of Billy actually acted together in another movie in the same year as scram called the Craft and if you have not seen it I highly recommend that you do and lastly Drew Barrimore wanted to be the one that gets killed in the beginning cause she wanted to have some fun and it shocked them all cause naturally they all thought she would want the part of Sydney when she read the script.

[@BasilOnatopp]

Re: Bill and your question "How is he still alive?" Obviously you've finished the film and know how, but it's worth noting that people survive multiple stab wounds all of the time. Hell, something like 5% of people shot in the head survive.

Lol the series becomes more Meta as it goes along, it never jumps the shark in terms supernatural or sci-fi cliches that Most-long standing horror film series eventually rely on.

without the meta knowledge of how many of those tropes wes craven himself created i can see that. but the man is like the only director that could get away with making such fun of the tropes precisely because of that

[@MrGpschmidt]

Frankly too meta overall - the franchise is in love w/itself for being so 'in' and 'clever' but only Wes Craven could have pulled it off.

[@BareBandSubscription]

Wes Craven shot these movies like an episode of Friends. Flat af. It’s not a perfect script, but as far as slasher films go, it’s the best script ever written, and it was wildly influential in establishing a new postmodernism in not only horror but genre entertainment in general.

[@johnpaullogan1365]

i agree only wes craven could have pulled it off. noone else can. similar to how noone else besides shyamalan could have done 6th sense. the meta on a certain level noone but craven had the credentials to do what was done here as he created half the tropes he is making fun of so he kinda has the right to make fun of them

This slasher film is so well written. I also think that it would be real crazy cool if it was Sydney's Dad as the killer that would make sense as a plot twist. An unhinged father goes mad. They should make one. The soundtrack i own it on CD and it awesome. My generation in the 90s the kids and teens seem cold but it was our way of just boldly playing with death and fearless behavior, livin life on the edge. I supposed we had it ruff. Like a motto. every generation has it problems an way of coping with things as rebellious teen lifestyle. Dont try to make sense of it just let it be. And the actor Skeet Ulrich who plays billy, he always dies in every movie i seen him in. I thought it was like an omen that one of these days he's going to die for real. It's like why does he always end up with those roles him dying?. Pshh Actors...so dramatic 🤦🙄 btw Great reaction😊 lol
