Wes Craven playing Fred the janitor still cracks me up!

[@KisstheReviews]

It’s one of the best cameos ever!

[@CossandraCastle]

I’m addicted to your reviews and have been binge watching them. 1:54 Correction - it was Drew Barrymore, that chick from Party of Five and Monica from Friends. That scene when Jamie Kennedy is yelling at Jamie Lee Curtis “Look behind you Jamie!” as the killer is sneaking up on Randy is one of the greatest fourth wall breaks in movie history. Kevin Williamson was a genius.

[@KisstheReviews]

Thank you so much!! Appreciate that correction! This is why our viewers are so great…y’all know way more than we do. 😂

[@kindadecent9754]

I love how awkward ghost face is lol. A teenager stumbling around in big heavy boots, a large loose cloak, and a cheap mask that would obviously limit their field of view. It makes sense

[@KisstheReviews]

Absolutely! Good call. Thanks for commenting!!

[@MartyMcFly88]

Even if she did throw the phone to get her parents attention, it wouldn’t have helped. Both Billy and Stu are there (presumably it’s Stu who does the killing, but Billy is there too) so they would have both overpowered the parents and Casey. By not getting her parents attention, although she dies, she basically saved her parents lives.

[@KisstheReviews]

True

[@JeffScalzo]

I think you are thinking 1999 about having a cell phone. That’s around when more people were having them. They were still pretty rare in 1996.

[@KisstheReviews]

True

[@ladiegreen608]

MUST BE NICE...I DIDN'T KNOW ANYBODY WITH A CELLPHONE IN "96". PEOPLE HAD JUST STOPPED USING BEEPERS. PEOPLE WERE STILL USING CALLING CARDS & BILLING 3RD PARTY CALLS.🤔🤷😂💯

[@KisstheReviews]

Calling cards were my favorite! Thant and “anytime minutes”. 😂

[@MrsJoannaG]

@28:54 I laugh every time at this part and have to rewind it once or twice 😆

[@KisstheReviews]

I love that whole scene. Matthew Lillard is great in this!

[@MartyMcFly88]

Stu is funny as hell. “We ask you a question and if you get it wrong- BOOKAH! You die!”

[@jasmineestrada5678]

Agreed! My dad is gonna be so mad cracks me up every time

[@thatshot8]

I swear i said "skeet skeet" out loud before the Ying Yang Twins came on. IMO, Scream has the greatest opening in horror movie history. That first 15 minutes is a master class is in suspense, Hitchcock would be proud. Gale Weathers is akso one of the greatest written characters in a slasher. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on F13 and Juice.

[@KisstheReviews]

You're in that sweet little pocket called, everything I say is correct! Open is amazing and Gale is a queen!

[@lizfinkelstein1323]

Since I am a subscriber who ADORES you guys, I have to correct the grammar of your intro because it's in every single video. You say: "If you want to reach out to Corey or I on Twitter, you can reach out to me @, you can reach out to Corey @." See how you don't say (in the second part of your sentence) "you can reach out to I @"? That's because the correct grammar is "If you want to reach out to ME on twitter @, you can reach out to Corey @" Me and Corey, Corey and ME. Love you guys!

[@KisstheReviews]

I have tried and tried to tell him but he keeps doing it. We need more concentration on education in this country. ❤️

[@lizfinkelstein1323]

@@KisstheReviews LOL I actually didn't learn this in school, my mother would correct me anytime I got it wrong, but gently, not like a drill sergeant.

[@razkable]

Wes craven being involved helps scream be more than just satire

[@KisstheReviews]

Very true! Thanks for commenting!!

[@adamberndt4190]

As far as the AOL 911 call goes, I live in Milwaukee and we have this weird/cool thing where we can text 911. Not sure if that's a thing everywhere but....

[@KisstheReviews]

That’s pretty awesome!! Y’all gonna need it if Atlanta wins another game. 😂

[@katrb5537]

In "Psycho", Janet Leigh was killed off halfway through the movie which was totally unexpected. Maybe Wes Craven took inspiration from Hitchcock for Drew Barrymore's character.

[@KisstheReviews]

Good call!

[@MartyMcFly88]

Wes Craven didn’t write the movie

[@Echoe_DsaVoy]

Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" killed off the main character; well the' supposed ' main character...but Scream definitely did it better...no one saw that coming

[@KisstheReviews]

So true!!

[@themoviebrosreact]

The entire scream franchise is my favorite of all time. Wes Craven was just a brilliant film maker! Enjoyed the video guys.

[@KisstheReviews]

Thank you so much!! It’s a fantastic franchise and probably the most consistent of the major ones…Halloween, Nightmare, 13th, etc…

[@themoviebrosreact]

@@KisstheReviews Yes! Agree 💯😊

[@razkable]

Gale was right about cotton so...she has nothing to hide

[@ladiegreen608]

34:29 COREY...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO💔

[@KisstheReviews]

Yeah, Cory’s been a clone since that show.

[@margretadams1328]

Wasn’t the main character in Friday the 13th killed first? The girl we were following in the beginning?

[@KisstheReviews]

Yes she was. Good call! Our point was more about Drew Barrymore being such a huge name! Other characters had def been killed off but never such an established, marquee name. Thank you for the comment!!

[@douglasmoravek5256]

My old man moment when I thought to myself, "these young kids have it so easy working in warehouses without 36 inch Sony tube TVs." I have about 14 hernias because of those damn things.

[@KingJayOfficialRaps]

Do 2 3 & 4 please

[@KisstheReviews]

They have been added to the list! Thanks for the requests, King!

[@bryanrizzo9377]

The Scream franchise,People Under the Stairs, and Nightmare on Elm Street are some of his best! Hated Swamp Thing,Mind Ripper and I just watched Summer of Fear last night and it was just plain boring and not one scary scene or shred of blood was shown. I'll checking out his other films. I really have been wanting to see Shocker. That'll be next.

[@KisstheReviews]

Shocker is pretty good. Hills Have Eyes and Vampire in Brooklyn are solid as well. Serpent and the Rainbow is ok...

[@bryanrizzo9377]

@@KisstheReviews Hills have eyes was awesome and Vampire in Brooklyn was just ok. They did a good job making Eddie Murphy as the lead look scary with the long hair and stuff but at the same time I didn't get much of a thrill out of it as I did with the Nutty Professor films and all his 80s films. Kadeem Hardisons character I actually enjoyed more than Eddie Murphys character in VIB.

[@KisstheReviews]

Agree!

[@KisstheReviews]

Shocker was my shit!

[@coryakabueze4541]
