Drew Barrymore's character getting killed at the very beginning blew everyone's minds back when this came out because she was such a big star at the time and was front and center on the movie posters, so everyone assumed she was the main character. What an iconic scene.

Fun fact: the original 3 survivors (Sidney, Randy, and Gale) all break the rules that Randy says at the party. Sidney breaks the virgin rule, Randy breaks the non drinking rule, and Gale tells Kenny 'I'll be right back.' Dewey was supposed to die in the first film, however, they added the scene where he puts a thumbs up after pre-screenings liked the character so much. Also, the principal was supposed to survive, however, they killed him off as it gave the film an excuse to get rid of the last partygoers. ok, last one. When Sidney stabs Billy with the umbrella, Neve (Sidney) actually accidentally stabbed Skeet (Billy) in the wrong place, so when he screams, he is in actual pain.

what’s really cool about the scene where randy is sitting on the couch and saying “watch out jamie” is that the actor’s name is jamie! it’s like he’s warning himself in a weird meta way

Courtney Cox’s performance as Gale Weathers is absolutely incredible and her moral compass is fascinating cause at the end of the day she does the right thing

Fun fact: That "Freddy Krueger reference" was played by the movie's director Wes Craven R.I.P.

This movie is such a blast and has a bunch of fun facts, like Rose McGowan (Tatum) could actually fit through the cat door and when filming her scene she kept slipping out so they ended up nailing her shirt so she would stay. Then we have when Sidney stabs Billy with the umbrella, Skeet had open heart surgery and when Neve got him with the umbrella she accidentally missed the chest plate and hurt him. Now when Billy hit Stu with the phone it was completely on accident. The phone slipped out of skeet’s hand and hit Matthew in the back of the head so the line “you hit me with the phone dick” was genuine and makes the scene so much better

Believe it or not, I actually watched this movie for the first time this summer, as well as the sequels. I really enjoyed it and can see why people love it. Sidney is the best and has to be my favorite character in the entire franchise. Such a badass!

The janitor is played by the director of the movie Wes Craven. He also directed the Nightmare on Elm Street films with Freddy Kruger. The sweater and hat were just a reference to the films. He also made other good horror flicks that you should look up.

"Matthew Lillard has such range" Oooh, you need to see him very young in SLC Punk. He might make you cry. Also has Devon Sawa, Jason Segel, and 'Shooter' McGavin (Christopher McDonald)

Fun fact: For Tatums death(Sydney’s Friend) her actress was skinny enough to fit through the pet door, so they had to nail her clothes down so it looks like she didn’t fit through.

OMG THE QUEEN REACTING TO MY FAVORITE HORROR MOVIE. YESSSSSSSSSSS

Sooooo true. The tax bracket to locked door ratio is so true

Billy Loomis and Stu Macher are my favorite Ghostface killers. Definitely my favorite horror movie. The opening of this movie was shocking that Drew Barrymore (Casey) gets killed right at the start. However both Steve and Casey's deaths was one of the most brutal deaths in the scream movies ever. Like this video! Great job!

When you think about the fact that Sidney’s mom was r*ped and murdered it totally makes sense why she has an aversion to intimacy. Even grief in general can do that, but she has a close-to-home real life example to be afraid. And to know Billy and/or Stu are the ones who committed that act on her mom, and billy is out here pressing her to fool around 👀 such a total breach of autonomy and respect BEFORE you know who the killers are, and more so after 🤢

I was introduced to Matthew Lillard as Shaggy in the Scooby-Doo movies. It is so weird to see him as a villain. Matthew has also been the main voice of Shaggy since 2009

🎃🖤🧡🎃 YESSSSS. "Murderer? Fine but litterer? There's a line that cannot be crossed." 17:45-17:51

Regarding the intro: You're probably too young to know about phones being used as phones, but back when I was a teenager, I would prank call girls all the time, and they never hung up. There was no internet or texting back then, people were bored, so randomly talking to a stranger was exciting.

your reaction to sidney constantly trying to escape is so funny 💀

We appreciate your dedication and commitment on this channel. Keep up the good work.

going back to that scene where the music builds up when sidney opens the closet, you can hear a squeak in the background kinda like if someone took a step somewhere in the house. i think it’s indicating that someone was already in the house when she was home. they didn’t just sneak in when she opened the front door.

I remember watching this as a kid thinking it was Scary Movie, and wondering, what happened to all the jokes, at the time i didn't know scary movie was a parody of scream

Love that you actually got jumpscared on a lot of those 😂 10:43 i don’t think she meant it in any weird way, just like it seems like he was wearing a mask, figuratively, like you said earlier lol

something i think is cool is that Billy gets his last name (Loomis) from Halloween/Psycho, with the detective in Halloween being Dr. Loomis and Sam Loomis in Psycho. and since Billy’s daughter is Sam, if she went by his last name she would be Sam Loomis, bringing it back to the original name in Psycho :) also, just curious, what was your reaction to Billy being her dad since you hadn’t seen this one lol

I'm so happy you watched this! It's one of my favorite movies of all time, I love Sidney as a protagonist and the ending is so satisfying. The "I wanna know who I'm looking at" line always sends shivers down my spine. I'm not sure if Gale was completely playing Dewey, cuz they seriously have a really cute love story through the sequels and even get married. David Arquette and Courtney Cox were even married for 14 years after this movie! As a big fan, the new sequels are just okay... I think they really peaked with the Emma Watson one. 😆

The janitor was a Freddy Krueger reference because the director of Scream Wes Craven created Freddy Krueger.

When Sidney opens the closet and we hear the scary music cue is because Stu is already in the closet. I think she pauses for moment another time as well.

That opening scene set up the entire series so perfectly. And Drew's acting was top notch. Actually felt awful for her character because her parents were right there.

The original scream movie is already so meta hahaha and scary movie is parody of this, what is ironic because scream is a satire of the slasher genre.

Scream is the first horror movie I watched when I was a kid, and it made me loved horror movies. I remember having a huge crush on Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) and Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) when I was a kid lol. This movie has a special place in my heart, I just love how Courtney Cox from Friends is in this movie and the reveal of having two killers is scary in my opinion.

Since you mentioned it, I feel the same about Billy Loomis even knowing he is one of the killers. I was not feeling the same with the Chris Hooker character in 'The Craft' film so apparently it is not the actor. I don't know what is wrong with me. 😂

I would just like to say your hair has been EATING lately. Like last few vids I’m like DAMN GIRL 👏🏾

I have been a huge fan of yours for quite sometime. Like it feels like I am vibing with someone who reminds me of great friends I have. I have been having a really shitty day at work today but this reaction video has made me feel better so thank you for what you do Sophia

Sophia got me spending money trynna get into the Halloween spirit, yall pray I don't drain my pockets on decorations 😫🎃

That was satisfying when Sidney gave Gayle a punch in the face

Giiiiiirl your hair is fire i love it

Casey couldn’t call the police as Ghostface was still connected, meaning the line was tied up.

I have a friend who used to swear that Matthew Lillard was just the best of the best.

Sophia watching one of my favorite horror movies? 😍 This series is soo good! It's murder mystery, slasher, and horror comedy all in one. Though you've seen 5&6, I hope you will enjoy seeing how the series got there. I enjoy both 'eras' of Scream, and am looking forward to 7.

This movie brings back memories of what it was like using regular landline telephones in the 1990's. 👻🤠

Let's talk about if this was irl ghost face would not be out here moving like Superman and would have a 50/50 chance of getting their ass beat 😂

the queen of making me laugh is back to scream her head off!!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Every video is like watching a movie with a friend.

The franchise is everything!

I think I saw your soul leave your body at 24:00 jajasjahahsh all the scream movies never fail to give me heart problems Great video btw

Thanks for picking my movie request! Can’t wait to watch when I get home from work!

This movie is so iconic, I could go on and on about every single aspect of this movie like cmon it’s a classic for a reason

my favorite tid-bit is that Skeet (Billy) didn't mean to throw the phone at Matthew (Stu). It slipped from the corn syrup so his reaction is 100% genuine in that scene 😭 28:49

One of my favorite meta slasher films! The opening scene was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments, as the audience thought that Drew Barrymore was going to be the hero of the film. They were in for a shocking surprise.

ive been waiting for this!!! scream is a great classic and is something i want everyone to watch. so glad youre watching this and love your commentary!!

I went from watching the live action Scooby-Doo to watching this and I went '...wow Shaggy be wildin out' Also you gotta love a movie that tries to anticipate loopholes

I think one of the killers was actually hiding in her closet almost all day. Which is horrifying to think about. Because not only did it do the spooky music when she opened the door, but later she walks by and hears a noise from the closet but chooses to ignore it.

The way you are so relatable, like the moment a jumpscare gets me, the Viet just jumps out

Glad we all share the same amount love towards the psycho known as billy 😂

Watching this movie for the first time in a dark basement with popcorn right out of an old-fashioned popcorn kettle was a blast! Definitely contributed to my love of horror movies today!

i recommend The Cabin in the Woods 2011... its also meta and good

Very fun classic! The actor Matthew Lillard has such a fun wildly infectious energy. He also brings that same passion into the world of the celebrity narrative roleplay games that became super popular after Stranger Things, and the Pandemic Zoom life. I also recently saw him as one of the main characters of the Cyberpunk story roleplay game too. At one point the characters had a pet robot dog, and of course he couldn't help launching into his Scooby Doo Shaggy character for a few moments. As that was also such a truly iconic character.

When I was younger I watched scary movie a ton too but never saw scream until a right before scream 5 came out now it’s my fave horror movie 👏👏 your reactions are such a treat~

The reporter that asks "How does it feel to be almost brutally butchered?" Is Linda Blair from The Exorcist.

Sophia Phan Fun fact: This was originally titled "Scary Movie".

16:47. This commentary on the parking job solidified my subscription! You were already really great, but that parking critique was phenomenal! Not enough people put bad parking on blast!🌿🌸

technically i think billy and stu are spree killers, not serial killers, because of how close together all the murders are.

I saw this at the drive in when i was 8. It terrified me so bad. It's the movie that made me love movies.

Guys, sophia with this hair color is doing something for me 😳💙

also these videos are always so entertaining thanks for the good work sophia.

When she thinks there is going to be a jump scare in the closet because of the music but Sophia thought it was a false alarm. But guess who jumps out of the closet for a jump scene later at 8:48. She got spooked by the jump scare.

ur hair is serving gurl!

1.The fun part is watching everyone overthink who did it. Thank God for twist endings. 2. The principal is The Fonz/Henry Winkler. 3. Cellphones weren't that prevalent in1996. 4. Maskface keeps getting his ass kicked 🤣 5. Tatum/Rose McGowen= As long as I have a face 😋😍 6. Why Stuart would kill his GF Tatum is beyond me.🙄 (I can tell it was him because the stunt man is much taller than Billy)

I would be the character in the movie: "Bitch, wtf? You're calling me, again?!"

It was a real thing in like the 60’s to 80’s to not lock doors very often, but then a string of really bad serial murders, specifically a string of murders in Florida that INSPIRED this movie. MrBallen has a video about the string of murders that inspired this movie

OMG SOPHIA THANK U SO MUCH FOR WATCHING THIS😭THIS IS MY COMFORT HORROR MOVIE ❤❤❤

Oh my gosh! I recommended this! But could be a coincidence 😅 love ya Sophia Phan!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ Have a nice day!

This is my favorite Halloween movie! Thank you for watching this!

the hyperventilating at 23:59 has me dying 🤣

You should watch "the nightmare before Christmas" and "nightmare on elm street" I agree, sophia If casey had kept running, she would have survived

I seen every single Scream movie lol

Apparently Stu was supposed to survive, and become the antagonist in Scream 3. The original idea was that he was teaching high schoolers to be killers from jail. They changed it because of a mass school shooting that happened in Columbine. Understandable why they changed it. Scream 3 was also supposed to have two killers. No one isn’t quite sure the reason why they changed that. Apparently the producers, the Weinstein brothers, didn’t like the idea and pointlessly change it. Even though it would’ve made sense on how the killer got to certain places.

You are so great thank you for making this video. So awesome ❤❤❤

Sophia's type, psycho killer with mommy issues 😂😂😂

I always roll my eyes at people who have watched scary movie before scream and I know what you did last summer… like how do you get any of the jokes

Whatamazed me is as this series goes on you can see how sensorship has changed since the 90s. In this film we see the 1st victim hanging by her guts from a tree but therecent ones dont even sho2 blood. Amazes me how things have changed in the last 20 years.

I also never answer my phone but I don't think it would do much good😂.great video Sophia hope you do at least a few of the sequels.have a nice day❤

scream such a masterpiece

I love watching people losing their scream virginity also really loving your hair ❤

your hair looks so good soph

would've been so cool to see this in theaters originally

Wow Your hair looks amazing ❤❤

“Oh brother, this guy STINKS!!!”

God I can’t wait to see Matthew Lillard in the five nights at Freddy’s movie, I just know he’s gonna absolutely knock it out of the park

27:27 girllllllll, don't let me turn on the news of a serial killer trial in a few years, and you're there as a serial killer groupie.

I love your videos so much Sophia

As someone who's a few years older than you, I can confirm that the Richard Gere gerbil story was eeeeverywhere in the mid 90s. I probably heard (and only half understood) it when I was 8 years old or something.

If you really want to get scared, you should watch REC(2007). That's a good horror movie

theres a lot of fun facts for this movie. this is my favorite: look at billys face when hes stabbed with the umbrella. the first time it hits the pad underneath. the second time, nope. homeboy got stabbed

So the part where you see Sydney walking past the closet and she just stops and stares the reason why she stops is because she heard a noise so keeping that in mind that boy was in her closet 4 hours before he jumped out

I love scream ❤❤

Sophia Phan You are so beautiful inside and out.

Pls pls pls watch all the screams they're so worth it I beg of you. Even scream 3 even tho Courtney had baby bangs

Love this so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤you need to watch the franchise 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Your fukn face when Sid fell of the roof got me weak lmaoo

This is the firs6 time I've seen this channel and I immediately noticed how pretty you are!
