The Roger L. Jackson finale really was the cherry on top of a Kill Count that is already one for the books. James and Chelsea just elevated themselves to whole new level. WOW.

I've replayed that segment at least six times. It was an honor to have the voice of Ghostface himself, Roger L. Jackson, do the numbers. Goddamn, I loved it, and I have loved watching this channel continue to grow!

[@mad_pac-man]

I like the 'redemptive' Billy Loomis angle, because it isn't a redemption at all. It's Sam's delusions, not his literal ghost. It makes sense she'd try to find SOME good in him in her head, as a coping mechanism. She likely saw the shine of the knife handle in her periphery, but felt like it was her father pointing her to a better weapon. And that's what the reflection in that moment represents. Everything else is a delusion in her head anyway. Why not?

[@myettechase]

Honestly, this comment made me reconsider how I felt about the entire inclusion of ghost!Billy. This is an interpretation that not only makes it make sense, but also adds a lot of depth to Sam in my opinion! Thank you!

[@unclekarl5219]

Also Sam finding out her dad isn’t her dad and having her mother hate her for it probably led her to wanting to find a father figure wherever she can

@@myettechase Happy to help! X3

[@Kerriangel]

I feel that Sam’s hallucinations is a great subversion; usually a character who has a mental illness is portrayed as a villain, especially in horror movies. However Sam isn’t a villain, she is someone with a legitimate illness who is also trying to handle the fact that she’s the daughter of an infamous serial killer

[@bhoenix3213]

There's still an element of her liking killing that I think is in Scream VI or something, which is...frustrating. Her being extra brutal and all that stuff.

[@nailsarelife]

​@@bhoenix3213It is pretty frustrating. On one hand, it makes sense. Her dad and grandmother were both Ghostface killers. Psychosis is often considered to be a mix of genetics and external environments. She was basically fine (with medication) until people tried to kill her, and now, she's truly having to work hard to keep that side of her in check. On the other hand, I don't really know if I like the premise of our supposed new hero becoming a villain, which is where a lot of people feel her arc is going. I hope they don't go that route in the next one. It would actually be heartbreaking to see.

[@Joeysaladslover]

⁠@@nailsarelifelmfao how is it “heartbreaking” if a movie character has an arc you don’t like? You just explained how it works, so what’s the problem?

[@nailsarelife]

@@Joeysaladslover What exactly are you confused about? We've had two movies, at this point, following our new lead, Sam. Sam is the daughter and granddaughter of two Ghostface killers, and it's been established she has psychotic tendencies she's trying to keep under control. While it would make sense to have her switch to being a villain based on what I previously wrote, it would break my heart to see her give in or lose control of that side of her. It would be sad to see her lose the war. Also, it's not that I don't like the premise of the arc. It's mostly that they made her more likeable in the latest movie. A smoother transition would have been (in my opinion; no one has to agree with me) to have us like her in 5 and then get us to start hating her in 6. The thing is that Melissa was actually pretty bummed that fans didn't like her very much in 5. So, they kind of went in the other direction and made her more likeable. It's fine, but now, it would be upsetting to some of us to see her go psycho now. I will say that since this post, they've switched directors for 7. Radio Silence is, apparently, no longer involved. I'm not sure about the writers, but who knows if 7 will even have the arc? Back to Sam, though. It's kind of along the lines of the Corey arc in Halloween Ends. I don't have the premise, but I do feel like it was too rushed. In the span of about 30 minutes, we are introduced to him (in a pretty sick af cold open), we start to like him, then we start to hate him. I would have been more okay with it had they had him in Kills. Go, maybe, 3/4 of the movie having him be likeable. The last 1/4, he starts to get a little creepy or cringy, maybe? Then, in Ends, take that 30 minutes to amp up the creepiness or whatever, and follow through in the duration of the rest of the movie. I'm sorry to have written a novel, but I wanted to make my stance clear. I thought it already was, but I hope you have a better understanding of where I'm coming from. Have a good day. ☺️

Not gonna lie, I like the fact that Billy's ghost looks older as if he had aged in purgatory or something. Don't know if that was intentional, but I think it adds a cool touch to the story. It's like Sam sees an adult version of him as opposed to when he was in high school.

[@frederalbacon]

James was shook, I loved their reaction. Mason Gooding's legitimate excitement at seeing them was so sweet too, you can even tell that Jamin Savoy Brown was trying to explain how excited he was. Extremely wholesome, just a couple of kids from Michigan getting to cameo in one of their favorite horror franchises, simply because they treat the genre with such respect. I've watched a lot of Drunk Disney, James and Chelsea are certainly fans of movies in general, but there is something about the legitimate love they, and the rest of the DM crew, give to the genre, that makes all the cool stuff they get to do feel sincerely earned. It wasn't quick (or I'm sure expected at all) to have this level of success happen, but they've done the work to get here, for sure.

Ghostface claims Sidney is in all films but Stab 8. Sidney was only in the original Stab trilogy, according to the previous film. She threatened to sue if they continued to use her in subsequent films. Samantha Carpenter is too young to be Billy Loomis' daughter at age 23. The timeline is wrong by one year (two years if the film is set in 2022). The film simultaneously suggests it takes place in both 2021 and 2022. Principal states classes are cancelled tomorrow, but the next day is Saturday, if Tara's attack corresponds to the landline date. Vince Vaughn is Stu Macher in Stab, yet a completely different actor appears as him in a Stab scene that Mindy watches. Sidney's Threatened Lawsuit: Sidney's lawsuit, threatening the creators for using her character after Stab 3: Hollywood Horror in the continuation of the Stab franchise is ret-conned. It appears she is in "every movie but the last one", according to "Charlie" calling Tara Carpenter. However, the reason for her lawsuit is now unaccounted for, effectively creating an unintentional plot hole. The suggestion that Sidney threatened to sue based on using fiction is inconsistent with her story arc in Scream 4 (2011). In context, Jenny Randall is stating that, because Sidney could no longer appear, the Stab franchise became exaggerative with fiction, not that they were intending to re-use real life elements with Stab 4, as no real life murders occurred at that time. A possible resolution to this is that the studio was going to remake Stab (1998) in the mid-2000s. But because Sidney bought the rights to the original Woodsboro Murders (1995-1996) killing spree through her self-help book, Out of Darkness in media format, they were held off from doing so, hence Stab sequels were made instead, akin to the Saw franchise. Judy Hicks is a character in a "shitty, inferior sequel". This is an attempt to be a meta joke at Scream 4 (2011), but is inconsistent with other references of the Stab film series in the Scream universe, as seven Stab films had previously been released (the most recent being Kristen Bell as Ghostface, Chloe). This makes the only conceivable sequel to be Stab 8 (2021; continuity error release year). However, it is obvious from the dialogue, it was intended to be a previous iteration, as Wes Hicks would state Stab 8 forthright, as it is so recent "it came out last year", whereas all previous sequels were a decade beforehand. As per Mindy's idea of Requel rules, nobody questions whether the killer the killer will strike a character who appears in the supposed "worst Stab of all". for me This movie SUCKS!

He literally had a gun that he could shoot the bad guy with from a safe distance, and he *just* finished stating that the killer was almost certainly not dead and would get back up to resume killing. But he then proceeds to get within stabbing range for absolutely no reason, ignoring his own warning. And he died sad, bitter, and lonely.

Jenna surviving the opening act is the most surprising thing I've seen in this series.

[@lunastark1060]

not really, she's not white, so she can't die, in this era only white people die, because it's bad to make a POC die. In this scream the only people that died are white , so it's pretty predictable, i know who will die and who will not in the next scream.

[@GameZedd01]

8:35 Vince's death has to be one of my favourite in the entire series. I love the use of the song. I love when music is a character in the movie and I love when it cuts out and back in on cue. Definitely the best use of the song in the series

[@Burori1]

I always took the "Ghost Billy" part as her imagining what Billy would act like towards her, based on second hand knowledge from people that "knew him" and from the movies. She also probably saw the knife beforehand in that corner, so when "Billy was pointing down to it", she was remembering "Oh right, the knife."

[@savagemathorror4671]

I've not seen many Wes films, but I love the breakdowns of the movies he made, and I love Nightmare on Elm Street. And nobody can deny the man is a *legend* in the horror circle. Naming a character after him in the 5th movie, and having a toast to the character that doubles for the legend who made the first 4 films and so many other horror classics, is just amazing. For Wes.

This war is ridiculous. I don't want to pick a side, but we should not be fighting over this to the point where unrelated movies and their fandoms are getting involved. When people didn't like the prequels, they moved on. It's not hard. Whether you think the franchise is good or bad right now, there is no excuse for this level of hatred and chaos over nothing more than a story about space wizards. I love Star Wars even on its worst day, but I hate being a follower of it. All I have to say is, if a freaking Scream movie can't be discussed without Star Wars fans at each other's throats, we need to stop.
