"why do you want to know my name?"
"because I want to know who I'm looking at"
that is EXCELLENT writing. we've gone from 0 - 100 over the course of a SINGLE phrase. easily one of the most iconic lines of the entire film.
The way his voice goes in and out of calm to threatening as well. Truly creepy
Best in the series.
This is comedy😂 you making popcorn😅 haha xD
Ice Nine Kills did it really good
It's so damn creepy!!
The opening scene of this film alone actually works great as a short film
Right? 👍👍
thats exactly what the opening scene was until it was decided to expand upon and create a movie, most horror movies and movies in general start off as short films or plays
@@jayvmm no....🤣 no it wasn't
@@Aaliyahchannel2024 I googled it, it actually was an 18 page short story about a girl alone in a house being called by a killer before dimension films bought the rights.
Yea right. Don’t need to see another hour and 15 of what I just saw. I get the gist….
I love how the popcorn on the stove symbolizes this scene intensifying and getting more and more out of control.
I think it also symbolizes the irony of how we (the audience) are greatly entertained by horrific scenes like this. Popcorn is, afterall, the universal symbol for entertainment.
bs
Scary movie spoofs that as well as both films were way ahead of their times.
It doesn't symbolize the rising tension, but rather works as a parallel to it; it's an intensifier.
@lc1715 So many intensifers in the first several minutes.
The way the camera follows her around the house and the voyeuristic shots of her from outside makes us feel like we're the killer watching her. Wes Craven was brilliant.
Gives the illusion she's safe in the house which is why the chair crashing through the window shattered that final illusion.
@@jackkrauss she shouldn't have answered the phone
@@noahbriggs8347Yeah like that would've made a difference.
@@jackkrauss maybe it could have
@@noahbriggs8347 I'm saying if she successfully alerted her parents then Billy and Stu would have just killed them too.
She killed this scene in Scream . I was even teary eyed when the mother screamed . But shout out to the writers . Scream is a CLASSIC !!
It really is. It really mighta been an instant classic.

One writer : Kevin Williamson
They don't say Drew Barrymore isn't a great talent for nothing.
Drew Barrymore only had five days of filming for this scene and the final result is amazing. She's such a wonderful actress and she sold the scene very well.
She did good but only five days of filming? Seems like a lot for this one scene
@@liverpoolfcx7 indeed.
She was initially cast as Sidney Prescott but due to scheduling conflicts she had to drop out, but she asked Wes if she could play Casey Becker. I'm glad she did, she sold it very well.
@liverpoolfcx7 I heard it was 10. For one you're only filming at night and two it allows for breaks after acting strong emotions.
5 days feels like alot for one scene
@@liverpoolfcx7 dude had to have meant 5 days to prep and learn the part
Honestly the acting in this opening is on point all around. Casey's mounting terror, fear and sorrow when she calls for her mom is realistic as hell. And you can FEEL her moms grief as she despairs what's happening to her daughter. All capped off with that INTENSE scream when she sees her.
The new movies barely have any of these emotions and/or the new characters are completely unlikable.
I can’t take this comment seriously when your profile picture is furry feet
Right? The actress playing the mother went way harder than she had to and it’s great
One of the few times a horror movie deaths made me feel something
Ye
I know Drew Barrymore is usually known as a "rom com darling" but damn she brought her A-game for this opening. This is honestly the closest I've seen to a perfect horror movie intro.
Have you seen Firestarter?
I agree. She is really underrated as an actress. When you realize that basically no one was ever able to replicate something like this you and that usually the acting in subsequent scenes like this can be quite cringe due to an actor's inability to deliver lines, you really understand how great her acting was here.
I think that's also why this scene is so memorable as there is so much unexpected things going on here.
The audience would also expect a famous actress' character to survive, but she dies in the first ten minutes!
- There is nothing special about any actor @@MarioBeart
This will FOREVER go down as the best opening in a Scream movie. It’s bone chilling, suspenseful, creepy. The writing is amazing and the acting? Outstanding! Gives me chills every time. I will never tire of the franchise.
I think 5 is a close second, Jenna killed it but Drew’s scene is one of my favorites in all of film.
@@calebleggett5504 hell naw 5 just try to compare with the original and it dont even come close imo
@@calebleggett5504 the attack was brutal tho
@@1Haaku 5 is good in its own right but this movie is far above the rest
@@TheDavidish facts
I'll never forget showing my parents this movie, they thought drew barrymore was a main character. the look on their eyes when she dies in the opening scene, Scream is the classic!!!
Yup! That's exactly why she was cast for that scene! Remember the days when that could actually work? Before internet spoilers, I mean.
@@beezilneverleft3176 actually Drew chose that role because of the scheduling conflict with other movies. She was initially confirmed to play Sydney Prescott. So she told Wes she still wanted to be in the film but play the opening kill because the audience would never suspect it. She's brilliant.
@@soanemoa2191 You say Drew is brilliant for taking a 13 minute cameo. Damn , just imagine if she took the Sidney Prescott role what that would of done for her career. Drew Barrymore has lost millions of dollars for ''scheduling conflicts'' as you say ,, I bet you to this day she realised how much she fuc&&d up by not taking the role as Sidney Prescott ,,,, I mean 5 movies later
@@soanemoa2191 she is friggin brilliant
They even put her in the center for the cast photo so people wouldn’t suspect.
In my personal opinion, this is the best opening in horror history, the fact that this alone could convince someone to be a short film is simply amazing writing
It's definitely something else as I was too young to see this but I did anyways and this scene scared me for years. I could watch the rest of the movie and enjoy it just fine. But man it took many years for me to be able to watch this again.
And if you want to know something interesting, at the time, and honestly even today, many audiences didn’t expect Casey to die so early or even at all. You see, in 1996 Drew Barrymore was a high-profile actress and it was so rare for high-profile actors and actresses to be killed off in many horror movies let alone the beginning! In fact, Barrymore was the original casting choice for Sidney but she willingly turned it down and chose to play Casey in order to break the “cliche” of more famous actors and actresses not dying in horror movies :)
@@Howlingburd19 yeah I’ve heard about this on dead meats channel when they did a kill count for the first scream, still a really good way to surprise your audience
Nah the best opening is thanksgiving black Friday scene
"can you handle that, blondie?" still gives me the chills and i've rewatched this scene and the whole movie more times than i can even remember.
What’s great about this scene is that the conversation has a natural progression that really hasn’t been executed the same way since. At first the killer’s charm puts the victim into a false sense of security. He almost seduces her over the phone. Then when he eventually gets menacing it comes out of seemingly nowhere and is really shocking. I really prefer this cat and mouse game the killer plays as opposed to subsequent movies where he just goes right into “what’s your favorite scary movie” territory.
Yea it’s just beyond lazy writing with absolutely no passion now. I don’t understand how anyone can even stomach the newer sequels. The writing is atrocious.
all facts, i liked the scream 2 call wit cici too tho but ur right for sure
S6 actually has a pretty cool intro that's in the same wheelhouse as this (charming caller, false sense of security that turns, etc)
i think the new one equals this one in that sense!!
@@showmethedickens I really liked the new opening, but sadly that phone call just wasn't long enough for me to get as invested as I do here, plus as soon as the call turns sinister... it ends... whereas this one just constantly builds tension. But that overall opening was defo my favourite since Scream 2! Feel like that's as much as I can say cause I don't want to spoil it too much.
The calls in the first few films just hit different: this one and Sidney's 1st call in Scream, Cici's in Scream 2!
The part where Casey was screaming out her mom but she couldn’t hear her teared me up cause I had that dream once and I was really scared if it would happen irl
Look up the real scream murders
She could have just threw or dropped the phone when she was near them
That broke me 😭 poor thing
@@csxtrain8666rip Casey
@@XxLMane19I mean,in a situation like that you can't really think straight so she probably didn't think of doing that
The fact Steve can seemingly hear what's being said over the phone (he shakes his head when Ghostface tells her to turn off the lights) is a clue that Ghostface was at the patio door the entire time.
They were at both doors. There's two of them.
@@rinraiden It's a possibility, but considering we only see one at this point it's likely they weren't both in the costume at this time.
@@J_C_CH At the scene, both of them had to have been present for sure. I am pretty sure, one of them did get knocked out when Casey punched him. The other appeared afterwards.
@D3ADLYSNIP3RZ Obviously both were there. One entered through the shattered patio and then ran to the front door allowing the other to enter.
Billy was on the phone, Stu killed Steve and broke in, then ran around to unlock the front door. We see this when Casey's parents arrived and it is ajar despite Casy having locked it moments before. After Casey hid outside, Billy came in and searched around upstairs while we saw Stu on the main level. It was Stu who popped up and punched through the window to grab Casey, she then knocks him out with the phone. Billy hears the commotion upstairs and runs back outside and finishes her off. We know this is him because he chokes her out and later does the same thing to Sidney unmasked in the final act. There's a whole video on here explaining how it was done. Basically, there's no way the killer could have been making the calls and running around/killing Steve at the same time. "Which door am I at?" was a trick question, because Stu was at the patio door and Billy at the front.
The mother's scream when she sees her daughter hanging from the tree gives me incredible chills, her daughters eyes... No other horrormovie scene can make me feel like that.
The mother's performance has always stuck with me, from her saying "not my daughter" with so much dread to her horror filled scream when she sees Casey hanging from that tree... Truly every parent's worst nightmare come true.
That was heartbreaking
Not sure if it's their worst nightmare, what about finding out your kid is the one doing all these killings.
@@gatekeeperboxing5898 Well, we saw how that played out in Scream 2. Mrs. Loomis didn't give a shit that Billy was killing everyone, she was much more pissed that Sidney killed HIM.
@Seri Kim Depends on your morals I guess, but if you lose your child it's over there and then. If your child was the killer theres the court case everyone hating on you, you wondering how this happened and how your kid turned out this way. The horror of what they did will not be lived down for many years to come.
@@mahmamia5100 True some parents couldn't care less what there kids do.
Amazing writing, amazing directing, amazing acting, amazing lighting, amazing music, amazing location, amazing special effects, everything was amazingly perfect for this scene.
LoL, it sounds like you think this movie was/is, hmmmmm, AMAZING!
Creator of this place we live in space outer space too
Amazing lighting 🤣
@@Aaliyahchannel2024 I don’t get what’s funny about that lol you don’t think lighting is part of making an amazing scene??
@@Chihuahuauno1 definitely! AMAZING! Lol sounds like you have low self esteem.
This opening is one of the most iconic ever. A masterpiece.
Can't see it ever being topped regardless of what genre.
I think the acting around 10:08 is remarkable. She’s running away from the killer but for a brief second you see Drew taking a few seconds for Casey to confirm that this is really happening. Almost like “This is the part when I find out I’m being punk’d. Right? He’s gotta wake-up”. Then sadly comes back to the nightmare that is her reality and continues with her escape.
I think it'd be natural shock. She gets criticized for her actions but she made it farther then most would as bet over half the people would be frozen in shock when the chair is thrown.
This is such an intense, emotional scene. You feel like you’re going through Casey’s terror and fear right along with her. She truly suffered 😩 10:45 Especially makes me sad
How is this „emotional“?! You have to be very twisted to call this „emotional“.
@@karadiberlino And you must be very twisted if you feel absolutely nothing at the sight of a daughter struggling to call for her mother in mortal fear and a distraught mother who literally hears her slowly dying daughter on the phone. This creepy scene actually gets very emotional at the end!
@@karadiberlino Um how is it twisted to call this scene EMOTIONAL? Calling it “funny” or “exciting” would be twisted. Seeing another human being suffer makes me rather emotional, whether it’s a movie or not
@Harley Quinn Thank you Harley for sticking up for me. Yes, I indeed meant emotional in a sad/sorrowful type of way, as most people already would know that
@@SpaceFirebird Thank you Firebird for sticking up for me, really appreciate it. I never thought someone would take my comment the wrong way like that. But I guess it happens…you’re right, the ending is also very disturbing and emotional 😭
Suspenseful horror masterpiece. "I'm wondering who I'm looking at", when she goes to call the cops and the phone interrupts, "turn on the lights and you'll see", "your caaaall..." and then the damn garden chair through the window, craziest one where she cries out "mom..." but it's just a gasp. Imagine seeing this intro in the cinema. Damn.
Easy to imagine. Am old. Was there.
I believe the line is I want to know who I’m looking at
Yeah I also saw it in the theatre. For the time and how it was made, this scene is pretty scary
I like when the killer says “Sureeeeeee” lmao
Roger Jackson is a brilliant voice actor.
gotta hand it to drew barrymore for really showing up for such a small role. She really could of cheesed it honestly and it would of felt flat. she set the tone for the entire film after that
She was the reason why the movie got made. During filming, she was credited as a main cast member so production doesn't get shut down.
Why wouldn't she show up for it?! She literally asked to be in the film. Hell, she was originally meant to play Sidney Prescott before scheduling conflicts got in the way.
@@Blitz-dm3kv they needed her more than she needed them.
This scene is the most rememberable from the franchise so it was obviously the right choice.
A seemingly small role but also the most memorable in the series.
I just watched Scream for the first time in preparation for Scream VI. This opening scene was amazing in every way. The acting and cinematography really sold the tension and horror of this scene. It’s a perfect set-up of the mystery and brutality to also come.
How was scream VI?? I’ve seen all the screams so I’m excited for this one. In my area they have it in 3d.
@@gabbys8065 IT WAS AMAZING
@@josuenicolas7660 omg so yes I will definitely go this weekend!
@@gabbys8065 Scream 6 was horrible! Just regurgitated trash. People are way too easily impressed these days. I was really hoping for a story that was more original but all they did was (spoiler) repeat the scream 2 story once again
@@Highbudget Not at all, the only thing that was relative to scream 2 was the motive
It's not often that a scene actually puts me on edge. 10/10. The writing, cinematography, special effects, audio, acting, characters, and sheer subversions and plays on other slashers is fucking amazing.
It's because the writing, directing and acting are all good as the new ones just seem to have good directing and I'm being generous there.
After nearly 30 years, and I have NO idea how many viewings, that opening sequence just stands out like nothing else. I STILL get chills! It's so perfectly crafted. Every little detail, every little moment, Drew ... the whole damn thing is stunning.
It's the attention to detail. A lost art these days.
I just watched the movie for the first time
@@Guzioo I am SOOO jealous! :). My friends and I saw it in the theater back in the day. The way the packed crowd reacted is still a vivid memory, believe me.
@@a.e.jabbour5003 Yeah, me too (40+ now lol) and I remember seeing it in the cinema and everyone was just in shock after that opening!
I feel kind of dumb initially missing the fact that both Billy and Stu were there, lol. Her character gets criticism by stopping outside, but how many characters would've made it that far with both attackers chasing her.
"Why do you want to know my name?"
"Because I want to know who I'm looking at."
I GOT FREAKING CHILLS FROM THAT!!
I watched Scream for the first time last night, and absolutely loved it. This is honestly, without a doubt the best opening to a horror movie ever. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole scene!
It’s like thinking how would you react if you were in Casey’s position? If a stranger calls then tells you off the bat that they want to know who they are looking at
I’m glad there is new blood enjoying the opening for the first time because I wish I never saw this and watched for the first time to get my heart pounding.
Her genuine reaction shows deep down she knows she's screwed.
Younger people have no IDEA what a big deal this was in 1996. Literally, no one saw this coming.
It is such an iconic performance.
old dude here; you're right. I saw it in cinema back then and wow.
man chill we know damn well….stop trying to act better. you are not!
Yes. It opened in theaters around Christmas too. Drew Barrymores face was the only Promo they used. That's why the gimmick worked. And the fact that Drew was Gertie in E.T. and totally acting out in public. Steven Spielberg publicly gave her a QUILT and told her to cover up after boob flashing David Letterman. She saved her own career.
I saw it around 10 or 11 renting at blockbuster lol. I definitely had a wtf reaction once the scene was over.
@noyoucannot6213 Yeah it never hurts getting help from Steven S. However plenty of actresses showed their boobs in the 90s and it definitely didn't hurt their careers.
Drew's acting will NEVER be surpassed. Even if they ever rebooted or remade or whatever...scene by scene no actress could EVER do a good enough act as Drew. Periodt!
Don't they like semi reboot this scene in every movie?
They even make fun of it in the 4th movie.
How did they make fun of this in the 4th one?
@@jackkrauss not make fun of maybe but homage. With the girls watching the stab movies. Idk if stab movies made fun if it or the actual scene with the blonde girls.
@@m2kay42 I remember the girl saying they recycle the scenes over and over again.
@@jackkrauss it's definitely iconic opener but can't really be repeated again sadly. It just doesn't work unless it's been YEARS down the line
The scene when he runs by the hallway always scared me as a kid as that was the first glimpse of the killer.

You watched this movie as a kid?
@@charlieandthechocfactrules9186 Yeah I saw it around 10. It wasn't abnormal to see R rated films young in the 90s. I saw Devils Advocate in the theater with my parents and talk about a little awkward but the nudity at the time really wasn't.
For anyone wondering why she kept answering, there was no caller ID back then, it could have been her parents or anyone. Also the reason she kept hold of it even at the end was it was the only lifeline she had.
Well, maybe she was worried about what might have happened if she hadn't answered.
She should have thrown the phone at their parents, they would have for sure turned to her
@@javansegovia I'm always saying that haha but I guess you could argue she couldn't after the stab etc maybe didn't have the strength
@javansegovia2253 Yeah but don't you Billy and Stu would've killed them then?
@@jackkrauss she tried calling for them, she was already willing to take that risk >,
Drew Barrymore was one of the most celebrated actresses in Hollywood at the time. Her dying in the first ten minutes (after being all over the promotional material) is an awesome casting reference to Psycho, in which Janet Leigh (huge at the time and on all the posters for the film) was thought to be the main character by many theatergoers but was killed almost immediately in the infamous shower scene.
It was the right decision to do this role as look how memorable it is years later.
@@jackkrauss Agreed. Scream is near (if not entirely) perfect imo.
The way she tried her best to fight back even if she was petrified of fear made me so proud(yeah, of a fictional character)!!!
Where did she fight back? She wasn‘t, she was timid and not very smart.
@@karadiberlino when Ghostie broke the window, she punched him, then when she got tackled she kicked him and continued running. She almost got out but she couldn’t scream out her mom loud enough. Happened around like 10:00.

@@rainischalk-late3540honestly if she wasn’t stabbed in the chest, she probably could’ve lived

RIP Wes Craven. The horror genre will never be the same😢.
Omg no I agree five was the best scream 6 ruined that feel of horror scream 5 brought back this feel I hope 7 isn't made the new York setting was not a good way to go and I got excited for nothing I recommend night of the hunted another good movie
This is still one of my favorite openings for a horror movie I thought they did a good job of slowly building the tension and the pay off was brutal and killing of drew in the beginning showed nobody was safe
I love s
I know😊 right
When I first saw this I thought she was still somehow going make it getting chased outside as it's Drew B lol.
I think no one expected how good Roger Jackson's talent was.
Still remember seeing this when it was released - greatest horror movie scene. Period. The technology we have today wasn't available in the 90s - that made this all the more terrifying.
I'm only 13 but I perfer old films like this to new ones :/
@@CSS-Tails_Forever same
@@d1nonlybaby36 cool 😎
@@CSS-Tails_Forever me too. I'm 14 and I prefer 90's films.
I went to see scream 6... and I prefer the original... scream 6 at times felt kind of cringed...
To me this is the best horror opening scene ever. Just brilliant
Yep it’s my favorite opening scene to a horror film ever
The most heart breaking part is when she tries to call her parents but she can't as her throat was hurt, I have had nightmares about that situations in which I am in danger and nobody can see me or hear me, so it intensified the grief for watching her dying like that, so close but too far to be saved.
This intro scene was outstanding. Hard to be topped
I'd say impossible. I remember after watching it on the VHS the summer after it came out on video I was like wtf was that after seeing the opening scene.
One of the greatest films of all time that has stood the test of time and always will.
😂👈🏼
I love this movie and I the end best movie ever
Kevin Williamson's writing is impeccable. I love how Ghostface asks her a trick question, she didn't specify which "Friday the 13th" but then again it was obvious that Billy and Stu had no intention of letting her live.
Yeah they then asked what door I am I at, which, of course, is also a trick question.
No offense but I wish people would drop the word ''writing'' because there's just something about it that bugs me like crazy when it comes to filmmaking.
@@MakeMeCare89he's the script writer. So it makes sense for me to mention his writing. Without his script "Scream" wouldn't exist.
Drew was absolutely phenomenal in this scene. You don't see acting like this anymore. Her reactions don't seem scripted at all. She seems genuinely terrified. I feel like some ACTUAL fear must've been involved. Like she got the Shelley Duvall treatment or something. Regardless, I think it was a bad idea to actually have her die in this scene. She's the best actress in any of these movies by far. They could've used her a lot more.
There actually was legit fear involved, you see, the guy on the phone was never shown to them, so Drew had no idea who she was dealing with, which made her performance very very real. This was done intentionally to get the best performance out of the actors and it worked out perfectly.
Drew couldn't find the time to have a bigger role in the movie. Her schedule was booked and they could only allow her five days of filming. She initially was offered the role of Sidney Prescott, but had to decline and decided that Casey Becker would be a better role as it shook the audiences.
Gotta disagree big time. The fact that they killed off Drew frikkin Barrymore within the first 10 minutes really made this movie standout like nothing else. It made it wayyyy more interesting and intriguing and gave you this feeling that they really aren't fucking around. Her not dying would just not have had the same impact even if the rest of the movie with her was good. The fact that she died is what makes this so iconic
@@Blitzbrie gotta hand it to you, you have a point there
Even though drew still has her career growing strong.
Those other busy schedules made her miss out on a huge payday as the movie broke big in the box office
I just love Ghostface's talking voice and speech pattern lol
What I love about this movie is the characters, great shots in every locations where it set it just so 90s perfect! Scream is the best movie no doubt, I remember we watched this when we had videos back in the day, god where have these days gone 😅
I love scream and the ending I'm 38
Scream never got close to being as brutal and disturbing as this scene was. Hanging that girl for her parents to see was just next level sadistic
I wasn't even that for that made it the most brutal it's the cat and mouse talking before he tells her he wants to know who he's looking at. A clear sign of sadistic s.o.b.s.
This just works. Never will there be a better opening as hard as they try. So much beauty in the first 12 minute of this movie. Wes is missed.
The music is something else, too. It's perfect for each part of this scene.
When she tried to call her mom but couldn’t because of the strangulation, my heart broke 😭 poor thing
She should've threw something at them and stopped hesitant running so much
@@osky529 that could’ve been a possible option but when you’re in that state, who can possibly think straight?
@@danbam3411 sorry it's bit of common sense bev like " hey I can't use this phone am carrying around because I can't communicate what shall I do with it to get my parents who are a few steps aways attention?
Stop and cry and try screaming?
Keep running and chuck the phone at them?
@@osky529If her parents were successfully alerted don't you think Billy and Stu probably would've harmed them?
In my opinion Ghostface is way more scary when he is just talking. When you see him killing your heart skips a beat no question. But the voice just demands your complete attention and obedience. It has such a massive presence you can not ignore it even if you wished you could. Your heart doesnt skip a beat when he talks. But it just stops completely as your holding your breath. It builds the suspense up perfectly. Roger L. Jackson is an unbelievable voice actor. I am really surprised the Arkham Game series never thought of getting him to voice a part. He could of gave us a creepy Scarecrow or an intimidating Mad Hatter.
11:19 she gives off that "I knew it was you" look. She knew Billy was sketchy and had a grudge against her since she rejected Stu for the guy Steve, who was first killed.
but it was Stu that comitted the intro killings
@@miguelsgf no Stu was support here helping lift Casey up the tree
@@miguelsgfThey were both there but it was Billy who was unmasked
Iir was definitely Billy. Wes had both killers kill differently so the audience could tell. Billy always chocked. They were both there though. Stu was the one who was hit with the phone and the one she saw initially in the house.
@@miguelsgfstu was the one who killed and gutted Steve, and got hit with the phone in the house. Billy was the one who jumped out the window and killed Casey
Stu then helped Billy gut and hang casey
Still of the best openings to any horror film of all time
It's so.....interesting to rewatch Scream again, especially when you can pretty much guess who's on the phone (Billy), just by how he talks, and how quickly he changes pace. Just piecing together everything you didn't realize in the first go around.
Killer is stu.
I will always be a Scream fan. I wanna say that I watched this in the theaters and all I can remember is the theater and how full it was. but imagine that years later and still holds up pretty well.
I haven't seen this topped yet.
" Too see what your insides look like." 😈 Such a simple yet terrifying line as of today it still gives me chills and goosebumps.😰😱
The way he delivers that line too.
OMG!
Always one of my favourite films! Nothing beats the original. This scene was the best in all the franchise
Escalates so quickly. One second an innocent phone convo to a double murder. I don't think anyone watching this for the first time saw this coming.
Yeah, the others just weren't the same. It caught you off guard a lot because of the change in tones throughout. So, you never really knew what to expect. Kept you on your toes. True classic.
"To see what your insides look like."
The way he says insides is so creepy. Like that word excites him.
I think when he laughs after killing Steve followed by "your call" is just as creepy.
The greatest opening scene in a horror movie.
That's a stretch but it's really good.
@@TheBallinCollin96 really? Name a better opening in a horror movie?
@@Derplander90 First of all, When a Stranger Calls and Black Christmas are exactly where they got the idea. Halloween, Friday the 13th, Night of the Living Dead, TCM's narration, The Hitcher, Friday the 13th 2009, Halloween Ends, Jaws, Malignant, The Town That Dreaded Sundown.
@@TheBallinCollin96 that’s count to opinion I guess. But none of the movies you mention have a great 10 minutes opening scenes. Good movies but not the best opening scene.
@@Derplander90it’s an absolutely crap movie, but I’d throw 28 Weeks Later’s opening into the mix. So brutal
The best opening in any horror movie! It will always be ICONIC! Nothing can beat it!!!!
I'll never forget watching this on video for the first time the summer after it came out in theaters and being afraid of this scene for years, lol.
@@jackkraussit’s really creepy
This opening makes this movie a masterpiece. Drew is so perfect in this scene. So heartbreaking when she tries to cry for help but her voice didn’t reach her mother.
I JUST realized during the calls, TWO phones ring, and during the talking of the phones when they played their guessing game, TWO voices are to be noticed. One high pitched more than the other. And i recently seen the ending. It was there from the start!
Huh?
@@Wadebrowndrums 2 callers on the phone with the girl. Durimg the ending explains more.
What I never noticed that thanks for pointing out
@@carinarosales6899 what does he mean?
@@Wadebrowndrums I think he meant both stu and billy were on the phone with her, stu probably being the high pitched voiced one
"Scream"(1996) is an excellent Slasher movie, and the best 90's movie for this Kind! The opening scene of the movie was inspiring and well made!
This was one of the trashiest movies of the 90s. It‘s fun, but that‘s all.
@@karadiberlino common karadiberlino L
@karadiblerino1 this is a great opening and an even better movie, where's your taste at?
@@karadiberlino Its not trashy at all. Its a master class in suspense and storytelling.
@@karadiberlinoHow is this movie trashy?
still one of the best opening scenes of all time. Brilliant writing.
What was very smart about Scream was that Drew Barrymore was in all the promotion for the film, which suggested she'd play a significant role.
When she dies early on, the viewer is left thinking "If they killed off Drew Barrymore, then everyone's at risk."
On top of the direction, the suspense, and acting, it's also so incredibly heartbreaking. We know nothing about Casey but by every indication she's an absolute sweetheart and to see her emotionally and mentally tortured during the call is rips your heart out. Then to see her finally get stabbed, the fear and helplessness calling for her mother, and ultimately what's left of her for her mother to see. Absolutely incredible work by everyone involved.
She told ghostface she didn't have a boyfriend in hopes of finding a good time with him. So really she wanted to cheat on Steve...maybe not a sweetheart but she definitely didn't deserve this...noone does
@@user-kh1qp9lr1rI think she was just harmlessly flirting.
Ghostface sounds so hot over the phone 😭😭
I thought I was the only one. What's wrong with us lmao? I also had a crush on The Undertaker from WWE as an 8 year old.
@@ltahoe9257 ME TOO!
He sounds creepy 😂😂😂
oh
he's also hot under the mask
Scream is one of the greatest movies of the 90s, and I would do anything to go back to those days.
90s were just chill. Yes there were problems but I think most of the people you ran into just wanted to do their own and live their own lives and be happy.
Yeah, I miss the 90's. Overall it was far more laid-back than it is now. Now, everyone's at each other's throats for the smallest slight. And movies used to entertain you, now they preach and lecture. Miss the relaxed vibe of the 90's and early 2000's.
I remember the first time I saw this movie when it was released on home video. I was fully expecting Drew Barrymore to be the star. She was on all the posters and the advertisements made sure to point her out. To see her character die the opening scene was jaw dropping. Pretty much let the audience know that nobody was safe at all. Fantastic setup for the whole series.
literally the best beginning to any movie out there. hands down
I have always loved Drew, watched this on the big screen in 96. Still love it! Miss Wes
One of the most greatest, iconic, and memorable opening scenes in horror cinema as of today it still gives me chills and goosebumps. 😍😎💯👍😰😱
When she tries to screm for her mother but can't. Like that awful feeling in sleep paralysis almost.. ugh. What an iconic scene.
This opening and this movie change my life forever, thanks Wes!
The scene with the hand holding the knife up in the air and plunging it into Casey's body still makes me shudder in fear to this day
I love that scene and the sound he makes
The way the hand of whoever is holding it (I'm guessing Stu) trembles while they're probably thinking "should I do it? Screw it!" and then *SWING!* So good... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@CharliePetricor I’m pretty sure it’s Billy
This Scream was more realistic as one stab pretty much took her out. In the new movies, they seem to get stabbed an infinite amount of times, and it has almost zero effect.
Wes was so good at setting creepy scenes. The simple tone and music change after she was scared on the phone and walking to the kitchen was prefect.
The trailer for this was superb, it focused so much on Drew Barrymore being the main character and didn’t even show ghostface so it was a shock reveal when he turns round in the window
Everyone jumped in the cinema
" Do you like scary movies?" 😈 One of the most greatest, iconic, and memorable qoutes in horror cinema as of today it still gives me chills and goosebumps. 😍😎💯👍😰😱
Will always be one of my top horror movies.
My grandma and her sister rented this movie for me when I was 9 years old and I’ve been obsessed ever since
About the age when I saw this. I don't think anyone was ready for this opening.
As a sheltered teenager, this was the first horror film I ever saw. Nothing, before or since, has ever scared me as this scene did.
Likewise.
I first seen this movie when I was 8 years old and this scene gave me nightmares for weeks... Grew up to love the franchise. Massive fan. Ghostface to me is one of the most iconic characters in cinema history, period. The Scream guys really took the slasher genre to another level. Amazing films.
Just seen Scream 6 the other day. Some inexcusable plot armour, but the most ruthless exciting Ghostface of the franchise so far in my opinion. And when I say Ghostface I'm not referring to the character behind the mask, I mean the actual on-screen Ghostface. Best Ghostface so far for me.
Inexcusable plot armour? What’s that?
- What's your favorite scary movie?
- Showgirls. Absolutely frightening. What's yours?
XD
After this Ghostface would stop calling
“What’s your favourite scary movie?”
Josstice League, it’s terrifying that the film even exists
*And Ghostface proceeded to never call again*
“HEY!”
“Sorry!”
“WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?!?!?!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What's your favorite scary movie?

@@BrianLyons315 🌚😂
07:52 after this maniacal laugh, right after doing something so terrible, I finally got convinced the killer wasn't joking, because up until that moment his humorous remarks made me think it all could really have been a joke. This Ghostface is pure evil, much more than any of the others. He really enjoys the killing, he's not just seeking revenge like the others. And he enjoys all the process, from the psychological torture (like hanging his victim's body like an artistic painting for her parents to see) to the actual stabbing. That's why this first film will never be surpassed.
Yeah, but you saw the guy tied to a chair bleeding from his head already.
You weren't convinced after he said blonde or when he heard drew say who's there without the phone being on dial?
@@theshadowwalker9672 that could still have been a joke
@@jackkrauss oh you do have a point, but I still never thought that this unknown caller would actually GUT the guy so savagely like that, in reality it's more common for criminals to rape the victims and then strangle them, what Billy and Stu did here was far more violent than what we see on the news and even in comparison to other killers in previous slasher films, which is one of the reasons why Scream was so groundbreaking (particularly this opening scene).
He somehow knows Casey's hair colour and her saying who's there despite the phone not being on dial and you thought that it still could've been a joke. Hell,you still didn't believe it even when you saw Steve in the chair.
this has to be the best horror opening scene ever it can even work as a brillient short film
The score is brilliant, too, especially when the chair is thrown. Nice attention to detail. Another thing lacking from the new Scream movies.
The fact that when Casey said Halloween and grabbed knife at the same time is a bit concerning but hilarious too.
Billy and Stu were sick as hell for gutting her even further before or after stringing her up, the camera moves too fast in on her to really see but if you look up the dummy they used on the set of this scene, she literally did not have a stomach.
The more gore you see the less scary it is. Also when they rely more on gore you know the movie stinks. The whole point of these movies is a whodunit and not some Saw movie.
@SamJackson-xu1py I was just how fucked up the killers were in this filmed based off the details given man, I could care less about how they execute it, deaths can still be brutal if done right.
@xallenjr I know I just meant it's scarier when it's seen off screen. For example when she's get stabbed you don't see it besides the first stab.
The opening scenes of Scream (1996) and When a stranger calls (1979) are the best in its genre.
Yep I agree. I still can’t watch when a stranger calls if I’m home alone in my house. So realistic
“Because I want to know who I’m looking at” and “I want to see what your insides look like” are byfar the scariest lines of this scene. The way Ghostface has that flirty tone in his voice to get her to stay on the line, until ghostface strikes is really dramatic and really spooky. The writers, actors, directors, special effects artists, makeup artists, and literally everyone who was a part of this movie killed it. I personally haven’t seen this movie, but my brother and I want to see it so bad. I can already tell this is a killer movie, which I’m sooo excited to see whenever I can…
This scared me for the longest time as a kid. I could easily watch this movie but I'd commonly skip the beginning.
Damn, man.... I saw this in theaters at the age of 10.... I have seen this movie, God.... Quite literally hundreds of times..... One of my absolute favorite movies ever.... 27 years later and after hundreds of viewings, this opening scene still gives me chills!!!
“His name wouldn’t be STEVE would it?”

Nothing else in the series comes close to this opening. It's perfection.
Part of is the music that changes perfectly as the scene changes. Frankly this scene has to be top 5 of any genre with this type of attention to detail.
The first Scream is the best of the franchise. This is terrifying because it’s something that could actually happen and has in a way. Prank calling was a thing when I was growing up and it’s pretty easy to imagine someone taking it this far. A real classic of a horror that does the meta thing so much better than the others. Instead of referencing movies we haven’t seen this one referenced our favorites which makes it rewatchable. I swear every time I watch it I pick up on another reference.
Definitely realistic.
One of the best opening scene ever 🤗 🎥 🍿 🔪 🩸 Drew Barrymore is awesome 👏
The scene that got me hooked. Wish it can come back to this level of brutal
Maybe it will with the 6th one. 🤞🏽

This to me is the best opening to a horror movie I have never seen anything more scary and bloody as this !
