I don’t think charlie actually wanted to go through with stabbing her after he realized she liked him.. I believe Jill got in his head like “NOW she noticed you? Really?” to manipulate him into killing her

omg imagine an alternate ending where all this goes down, she surveys and she secretly records Jill hurting herself for the setup but instead of that entire showdown in the actual film Jill never finds out about Sydney surviving going along with the narrative that Jill is the victim/survivor but then as she’s basking in her five minutes out comes Kirby with proof for her arrest so then we’d have a killer alive for once ha

[@MattCrider616]

See I wondered if Charlie didn't really stab her as deep as he made it look. He could have told kirby to play dead and perhaps even drugged the knife with a sedative so she wouldn't get involved. Then Kirby goes to her family's safe room and watches everything play out but passes out before she can help.

Pull a Halloween Kills right down to the cinematography and anything else that may need to be done to give it that feel it’s the events of 2011.

[@ImFeelinALittleWoozyHere]

Do a camera blur and distorted voices or AI generated voices of them since she’s feeling a little woozy here so you can have Emma and Neve lookalikes be in the flashback, that would be acceptable in the case of her stabbed and bleeding out.

@@ImFeelinALittleWoozyHere Yeah I am sure they can do many things to make us feel as though Jill and Sidney are there. I am sure Emma Roberts would come back if asked. And they can just cut footage together.

[@Austinmoore2005]

My only issue is unless she was in the basement and it took them a while to find her, there’s no explanation to the media reporters saying Jill was the sole survivor. Even with Sidney in there it didn’t make sense but with Kirby surviving or being treated for her wounds they would have announced it. Also had she not been found later, Jill would have known she survived before going to the hospital. So I think she locked herself in the room in the basement, Jill was rushed to the hospital, they found Kirby and began some onsite treatment and she alerted the police of only Charlie since she didn’t know about Jill yet but she hadn’t been admitted or taken in before Jill was found out. I think she found out about Jill after the Sidney finished her in the hospital

At the time they didn’t know it was Jill meaning Dewey would have also had to not know Kirby was alive when all of this was going down.

[@swampcrotch8240]

Kirby showed zero affiliation towards serial killers, in fact, the exact opposite! She showed an affiliation for the heroes of horror movies, the final girls and those who show the strength to SURVIVE. She even spells it out in S4 with Sidney, the ultimate survivor! “She’s the reason I love horror movies”. So no, I don’t think Kirby would feel a draw to Charlie beyond a love for horror movies. If anything it would make more sense that she feel disconnected to Jill because she has the opposite energy of the thing she loves - the hero, the final girl.

[@Septymus]

Well done, great idea! We definitely need some flashbacks and scenes in Scream VI including the night when Kirby somehow survived. I hope they do it well.

[@MattCrider616]

Kirby flashed back to the night Charlie stabbed her. He commented about how it wasn't like in the movies but then he whispered something else. "Pretend like you are dying," he whispered. He did stab her but nowhere near as deeply as it looked. Kirby realized thar Charlie was sparing her but he wasn't alone. Someone else wanted her dead. She went back toward house through the garage but instead of going there she pressed a sequence on the alarm system. Kirby's parents had installed a safe room years ago. She never thought she would have needed it and she never really took it seriously. She watched as the secret door creaked open and snuck in. The room was large with cameras set up throughout the whole house. She wanted to help but she didn't know who Charlie's partner was and she didn't want to be fooled again. She gasped as she saw Jill kill Charlie. She couldn't help but feel a bit sad for him, he did spare her. But it was obvious that now that Jill had brought out his dark side. He killed Olivia and it was extremely brutal. Charlie got what he deserved but Jill was three steps ahead of everyone. She watched as Jill stabbed Sydney and then she beat herself up pretty violently. She needed to call the police but the land line was cut and there wasn't a separate line in the safe room. Her phone was dead as well. She didn't know what to do, but the world went black. She had been going on adrenaline but now that she was somewhat safe she wondered if Charlie had drugged her to keep her from Interfering. She passed out and by the time she woke up, her house was empty except for the police. She called over the intercom and explained where she was and how to find her. She was sent to the hospital to clean her wound and she would ask for a tox screen as well. But when she got there she was furious when every single news outlet was there, saying Jill was a hero. There was no way she was going to let that happen. "Jill Robert's is not a hero! She screamed as the cameras all moved in her direction. I saw what Happened and Jill was the mastermind behind all of thus. Dewey came out right then, and was shocked to see a very much alive Kirby! "Sydney overheard Charlie tell Jill you were dead!" "I think he still had feelings for me, at least a little. He did stab me but he whispered for me to play dead. Then I hid in my safe room! Judy Hicks was next outsode.. sound to me like Kirby is your hero here. NO Kirby insisted. I don't want that kind of attention. I am just lucky to be alive. I hid through the worst of it." And that's how I would do it so it's a little more realistic

[@KNK2116]

I like this idea! Very creative. I honestly feel like Kirby likely crawled back into the room she came out from to help Charlie. It’s likely she knew something was in there she could use to add pressure to her wound, slow the bleeding & she could hide. Kirby also still had her phone. When she ended the call with Ghostface (Jill) & went outside, she put the phone in her back pocket before untying Charlie. He walked off without grabbing it off her. I think she probably called the police from the downstairs room/basement. I really hope 6 goes into detail so we know exactly what happened. Hopefully they will & it won’t be stupid also lol

[@Xehanort10]

There was going to be a scene in Scream 4 where police and paramedics find Kirby and say "We've got a heartbeat" showing she was alive but I don't think they filmed it.

[@mickcrump7799]

I absolutely love your content and channel! I’ve been in love with Scream since 1996 and I also enjoyed the underrated Scream Tv show, but only the first two seasons. I’m still sad we never got any closure on that story. It would be cool to have Emma, Brooke, Audrey, and Noah brought into a scream film for a cameo. I thoroughly enjoyed your expansion of the movies bc I do feel that there is one issue with the films that always lets me down with each new release. I know these are slasher films and Sidney is the main character of the franchise and now the Carpenter sisters are transitioning into that role, but these stories are VERY self-referential and nods are always given to other horror films or past movies. The area that the franchise has never fully taken advantage of is Gale’s legacy of death, loss, and destruction because she chose to capitalize on the murder of Maureen Prescott, but also the killing spree of Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. Gale admitted to embellishing the events that she barely survived herself, and sensationalized the gruesome deaths of Steven Orith, Casey Becker, Principal Himbry, her own cameraman Kenny, and Tatum Riley. In Scream 2, we see the complete spectacle the studio has made to promote a film that REALLY IS BASED ON TRUE EVENTS! Gale sensationalized the deaths of all of these people, and made the killers household names by selling the rights to her book, the Woodsboro Murders to Sunrise Studios, which birthed a lucrative film franchise on the tragic deaths of countless innocent people, including minors. Fans of the Stab films only know Casey Becker as the “character” and not the person who was brutally murdered while on the phone with her parents. The fans also think of Heather Graham when they hear the name Casey Becker, which is similar for the other dead people that were replaced by actors in the film about the loss of their lives. The aftermath of these movies has led to decades of senseless murder, but the issue is never really explored in the Scream movies themselves. No one EVER mentions poor Steven Orith, who was the real first person to be murdered by his girlfriend’s psychotic ex boyfriend. Sidney and Dewey have NEVER ONCE spoken about Tatum, who was Sidney’s loyal friend that was gruesomely killed by Sidney’s boyfriend moments before Sidney slept with him. Dewey lost and failed to protect his little sister! Why is this a conversation that we never saw once during screams 2-5? With Dewey’s death, the Riley’s connection to Sidney has cost that family the legacy and continuation of their family line. This is never spoken about, just as the murders of Sheriff Judy Hicks and her teenage son, Wes, was simply glossed over instead of recognizing that the entire Hicks family is now dead, especially when these characters grew up together! The character most wasted in the franchise to provide insight into the origins of all of the death and mayhem, Maureen Prescott herself, her rape, her promiscuous behavior, and rejection of her own son, was Kate Roberts. Kate was Maureen’s sister and could have known so much about her sister that Sidney or her father never knew. But Kate and Sidney NEVER share a single meaningful conversation about their family and her mother in Scream 4. That’s why I was so glad to hear your expansion and listen to Kirby reflect on the brutal murder of their childhood friend Olivia. Olivia has one of the most brutal murders in the entire franchise, but NONE of her friends seem very bereaved by her loss or having watched Olivia fight for her life until she’s being flung lifelessly out of her window. We’ve seen Sidney think about Billy and Derek, but that’s about it! Sidney’s poor choices cost Hallie and Derek their lives. In scream 6, Kirby never mentions how it felt to know your best friend plotted to kill you like you were nothing more than a housefly. Chad or Mindy had no regrets for how terribly they were to Liv before she was shot in the head. Between the Stab franchise and Gale’s legacy of turning tragedy into movies and money, as well as turning tragic murder victims into “characters” in horror films, Scream has a unique angle that should resolve when the story finally comes to an end. The Scream franchise needs to end with the story and narrative being given back to the many victims who have been silenced by Ghostface killer over the past two decades and had their lives, names, and stories stolen from them by their killer and the Stab franchise. The stab movies should stop and Gale should do what she said she would do in Scream 5, which is write about the victims and who they really were, and what they could have become if not for a set of horror films that made the killer’s household names, when they should forever remain in obscurity. And the mask and costume should be discontinued and no longer available to be purchased every Halloween by fans that have no idea how much they are mocking the memory of every single person that had their lives cut short by some psycho or fanboy that wanted to be famous, or simply take a life “just cause”. Scream as a franchise has to face its sinister counterpart and self-created monster that is the Stab Franchise, for the story to finally be over and for those who survive, to finally find their happily ever after.

The only thing I don't like about Kirby surviving is that it made the events at the end of scream 4 at the hospital totally irrelevant. Eventually, whether Jill knew it or not, Kirby was going to wake up Just like Sydney and tell the cops what she knew. So yeah that's a little weird

Now all tho this seems like a good theory, I rewatched the movie and If you have earphones in during that scene, after Sidney calls for Kirby she doesn’t respond but u hear some sounds down there in the basement like she’s finding stuff to cover her wound. I wonder if maybe they will let her explain what goes down after that or do a flashback similar to what Halloween Kills did, cause I think we all deserve some sort of scene or reason how she survived. But it’s going to be interesting to see scream 6 and what they do for her character. My theory is she heard everything going on above and cause Jill was screaming super loud at Sidney and her reasoning for doing all this and so she stayed down there avoiding anything and just trying to save herself cause she was weak losing all that blood

[@TheJayden3977]

I was going to comment this. Ever since that movie was released I always thought that was Kirby. I think Kirby made it back to the basement, but heard Charlie and Jill so stayed quiet as she was in no position to do anything due to the stab wounds.

[@rileybradley27]

@@TheJayden3977 exactly and if everybody went back to watch it with earphones at that moment you can definitely hear movement and things clinging in the basement and plus Jill and Charlie were in the main level of the house so who else could it be? That’s how I knew she was alive, but yea she definitely was in no condition to help Sidney she got stabbed twice in the gut and was bleeding out I doubt she would try to play hero and plus she was a horror movie fan she knows it wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do to help Sidney fight them off

[@MrJai044]

Wow, this was impressive and creatively done! I just thought if Kirby survived, Charlie did maybe intentionally stabbed her once but didn't expected her to live since it was deep. Kirby run as fast as she could away from the house and called for help. If the police discovered that she was alive back then, they would mention it and have a scene at the hospital since Sidney, Gale and Kirby had only one stab wound each. It was just later on discovered that she was alive and also a victim.

I always thought when Sidney asks kirby where jill is She looks as if something clicked BUT then GF appeared

[@bradydefelice2944]

I really hope that the next ghostface gets arrested at the end instead of going out in a blaze of glory like the others. It would help set up the seventh film

[@jasonvoorhssfan666]

If Scream 4 had a novelization this would have been perfect in a book.

[@j2174]

"glanced down at the kitchen" - erhm, that doesn't make any sense given how Kirby's house is set up...what stairs was she at the foot of?!

[@omarxperez]

the front stairs? where robbie died at. or possibly the front of the stairs inside her house that lead to her bedroom, etc…

[@j2174]

@@omarxperez " omar 32 minutes ago the front stairs? where robbie died at. " - Yes thats the only one that maybe makes sense. But its weird to say "down". "or possibly the front of the stairs inside her house that lead to her bedroom, etc…" - Doesn't make sense for this at all given that she is super weak and could not climb a proper flight of stairs, and she wouldn't be able to see Jill and Sidney in the kitchen at all. - She also goes back and forth to the living room/dining room.

[@mr.sweetheart7507]

imagine if we get a flashback seeing this in Scream 6

[@Mislavvvv]

Man, do you do podcasts? I'd listen to u retelling stories :)

[@rafac7384]

There's a moment, just before Charlie attacks Sidney, she heard the door opening and says: "Kirby?". Then Charlie attacks her! I think that was Kirby opening the door.

[@austincicero227]

Kirby was literally the ride or die friend and her best friend just was like sure kill her for toying with your feelings

[@DiegoMartinez-nm8hz]

Where did you get the novelization for the Scream movies?

[@megcollier3588]

This is content 🔥

[@Msstephanie]

Im really glad kirby survived and that we will see her in scream 6!

[@Son-Of-David1990]

What if kirby was a 3rd killer on her own and when she found out Jill was along with Charlie and heard jills plan and heard they died, decided to steal her fame plan and f waited for stu to serve his 25 years in prison to come back again in 6 and the reveal will be Kirby and stu are the killers and stu is her older brother.

[@sck_stitch]

After seeing scream 6 I wish this is what Kirby explained rather than the whole “I was dead for 4 minutes but doctors rescued me” thing

[@jaywest3734]

Kirby would have only found out at the very end of the movie or after the events of the fourth film. I imagine she was unconscious after being stabbed twice by Charlie.

[@jordanrollins624]

where can i read your novelizations

[@Deathtimeproductions]

I was so sad i thought she died in 4 she’s my favourite but I’m so Happy now 😊 I found out she survived

[@DannyPop2013]

I just watched 4. I feel kirby started questioning at her house when she was looking for everyone and jill came downstairs saying she found her phone and that trevor never went upstairs to find her.

[@alexaronson]

I NEED TO BUY THESE NOVELIZATIONS!!!! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE RELEASING THEM!

[@anacarolinaclauman7961]

I loved it

[@jahbvbypost]

You should’ve helped direct scream 6. I would’ve been dope hearing Kirby explain her friendship with Jill for a few seconds. Scream 6 was too rushed and didn’t have enough love put into it

[@billymoore7182]

Only Sidney wasn't dead. She survived her attack and killed Jill at the hospital. Sidney is a survivor and can not easily be killed. She's tough. This scene from Scream 4 I don't like, but it proves why Sidney is my favorite final girl and why Jill called her Michael Myers. She's the angel of death. If Ghostface can't kill Sidney with two stabs, then how could Michael Myers kill her with one? He wouldn't. Sidney is too tough and who be a perfect match for Michael Myers, more so than Laurie Strode.

[@HorrorParadise]

What

[@Lilt348]

huh?

[@lightwave3959]

I hope they don’t bring her back just to kill her off or sacrifice herself to save someone else.

[@rannz8]

Trailer coming out on the 19th!!

[@CaulfieldBrooks312]

Please, please put out the next chapter

[@user-rl2rw3tp6s]

Hey could you do a video on Charlie I think he’s the most underrated ghostface even through he did most of the killings

[@richchappell]

I wouldn't say that Kirby had apparently beaten Ghostface at the trivia game. She didn't even wait for the end of the final question, then she blurted out an endless stream of potential answers, of which only the first answer would count to Ghostface anyway. That's actually my least favorite scene in the movie, because I don't believe Kirby would react that way. It never felt right.

[@MrJ1Horrordirector]

In the movie when jill comes down the stairs and says Trevor Is a liar bla bla bla Kirby looks at her like, "yeaaah right sketchy bitch" at that moment I realized along with the kirby character that jill was a ghostface. Thats why we love her, she super relatable.

[@uravirginwhocantdrive1400]

Although I like what you wrote… In the movie (Scream 4), right after Charlie stabs Kirby… the scene draws back to Sidney hearing something in the basement (it sounds like a door opening slowly) and she calls out to Kirby… No answer and before Sidney is able to go down the stairs Charlie grabs her from behind in a choke hold (right before the Jill reveal). That sound Sidney heard could have maybe been Kirby slowly trying to open the door to get in hence she was most likely crawling and weak from her wound.

[@ProdbyER]

I think Kirby is going to be a secret killer in the next one. They can easily say Charlie turned on her in Scream 4, and wanted to be with Jill instead of Kirby. Like was said in this video, they both love horror and serial killers. It was their idea and took in Jill to get Sidney. For Scream 6 she’ll a detective but also the secret killer. I think that would be insane and a crazy twist!! I’m here for it

[@aaronbruns2726]

Good, but I think Kirby got back inside much quicker, probably from an adrenaline rush. Right before Charlie grabs Sidney, without the costume on, Sidney's at the top of the basement stairs. There's a small squeak/creak sound, and Sidney calls out "Kirby?" right before she's grabbed. I think that was the sound of a door hinge as Kirby crawled back inside. Maybe then she passed out for a moment and the rest could've gone as said in the video.

[@tjfinecey]

Nice fanfic

[@dougustofilms]

What if Kirby was actually one of the killers with Charlie or became a killer later in the movie, without knowing that Charlie was working with Jill? That way she can be the killer in Scream 6.

[@weaktea4252]

I will definitely buy this novel.
