2024-10-02 01:20:57 +0000 UTCYay!! So excited you decided to do this too! Which of the three killers was active and/or committed which murders can be figured out if paying close attention to where they were each time: Greg Brockner and Jason Carvey's murders: Likely Detective Bailey, as Quinn was at the apartment with a guy and Ethan was at the frat party with Chad. With Jason it's very obviously one killer (Det. Bailey), but as for Greg it's possible all three killers took part because mutilating his corpse and stuffing it into the fridge would be too much work for one person. Sam & Tara's attack/Bodega murders: Det. Bailey, as both Quinn and Ethan were in the apartment with the rest of the group. Dr. Stone's murder: Likely Det. Bailey, since that same morning Quinn and Ethan are with everyone else at the park. Quinn's boyfriend and Anika's murder (along with Quinn's fakeout): Det. Bailey and possibly Ethan at the same time as he could have snuck out of class. Sam's second phone call: Quinn, who was hiding in Gale's penthouse to lure them there, as Bailey was in the park with Sam and Tara, and Ethan was in the police van with Kirby, Chad and Mindy. Gale's phone call, Brooks' murder and Gale's attack: Quinn, as she both admitted to being responsible and was already in the apartment making the call to lure them in. Det. Bailey and Ethan were also both at the park with Sam, Tara and Kirby. Mindy's attack: Quinn, as she admitted to attacking Mindy. Ethan was also on the subway and Det. Bailey was at the police station. Kirby's attack: Quinn and Ethan, as Kirby confirmed that "they" attacked her and they were the two masked in the theatre. Chad's attack: Quinn and Ethan because they were wearing masks. Neve Campbell didn't reprise her role as Sidney Prescott due to a salary dispute with Paramount. That means, as of this movie, Courteney Cox and Roger Jackson (Ghostface voice) are the only actors that are in every movie. Coincidentally this is the first time they talk on the phone. In the previous movie when Richie is watching a video about Stab 8 the top recommended video is "Interview with Woodsboro survivor Kirby Reed", confirming that Kirby did indeed survive. The biggest giveaway that Det. Bailey is one of the killers is in the police station after the conversation with Kirby when he turns around to look at her and he's framed against the murder wall. He's literally in a line of Ghostfaces. There was a line in the original script spoken by Det. Bailey, Ethan and Quinn explaining where their mother is; She refused to go along with their plan and they killed her. It's easy to miss but Quinn's body moves after her supposed death. Chad was originally stabbed 14 times in the theatre. They digitally removed/edited half of the stabs because people thought it was ridiculous that he survived that. Jasmin Savoy Brown improvised her "fuck this franchise" line and Jenna Ortega improvised Tara punching Gale. It was Jenna Ortega who reminded the filmmakers that her character had asthma as it was not mentioned in the original script. Jack Champion was cast as Ethan due to his resemblance to Jack Quaid (Richie in the previous movie). For the projection of a fictional movie made by Richie, some of the footage shown is actually from Jack Quaid's real-life home videos mixed with footage filmed for the movie. Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett appear for a split second in the subway scene. Bettinelli-Olpin is dressed as Kurt Cobain and Gillett has a fake butcher knife through his head. Some easter eggs/references: This movie paralells Scream 2 in many ways. The survivors have moved out of Woodsboro to attend college in a big city, the killers are avenging the death of a family member from the previous movie and both finales take place in a theatre. Furthermore, the characters' slow crawl across the ladder and Tara & Sam driving like crazy after stealing Det. Bailey's car are both shot in similar ways to Sidney & Hallie's kidnapping and their crawling over the unconscious GF after he crashes the car. Anika's position when she falls and lands is nearly identical to Cici Cooper's death. The way the GF robes are presented on the theater shrine is a nod to when Sidney is on stage as Helen of Troy and her acting classmates surround her in robes and masks. Tara watching Chad being stabbed and the end reveal of his survival paralells when Gale watches Dewey being stabbed and the end reveal of his survival. Lastly, Kirby being shot in the theatre finale and popping back up for the climactic GF faceoff like Gale was a pure coincidence. Still Alive by Demi Lovato, the song played in the ending credits, was co-written by Lovato, Laura Veltz and Mike Shinoda, co-founder of Linkin Park (who is also the song's producer). At the end of Scream (2022) when Sam sees Billy's reflection in the window of the police car, the music playing is New Horizons by Brian Tyler, but if you listen carefully you can hear the melody to Still Alive. It is unclear if they sampled it or if the similarities are a mere coincidence. GF being revealed at the start and then targeted by another another GF is sort of a revival of an idea planned for a Scream 4 sequel that never happened. Originally, Jill (GF from that movie) would have survived and been targeted by another GF. The idea of more than 2 killers is not new to the franchise. In Scream 2, there were 3 killers in the original script: Derek, Hallie and Nancy Loomis. The infamous script leak forced rewrites to remove Derek and Hallie as killers, leaving only Nancy Loomis, along with Mickey Altieri who was added. The shot of two GF killers (Ethan and Quinn) standing together in the same frame, a first in the franchise, before attacking Sam and Tara is an homage to the unused ending of Scream 3 where Sidney would fight Roman and Angelina together. Tara has a scar on the back of her hand from where the knife went through in the opening scene of the previous movie (they made a point of showing the scar at 27 mins). At 1:04:24 into the movie, when Gale is showing the other characters the movie theatre being used as a GF shrine, it shows GF painted on a wall with the words "What'5 your favorite scary movie?" This is a giveaway that the killer(s) are connected to Scream 5. The decision to have Quinn be the GF to kill Gale's boyfriend was partly inspired by some of the criticism the filmmakers got for having Amber kill Dewey in the previous movie. Ethan's line "I always wanted to stick something in you Tara!" is a nod to Stu's line "I always had a thing for ya Sid!" from the original. Danny's (cute boy) full name is Danny Brackett, a nod to Annie Brackett, one of Laurie Strode's friends from the original Halloween.
