Dude Watches SCREAM (Movie Reaction) 

Scream 2 reaction is now up on Patreon : patreon.com/themikelawz

You gotta watch the whole series to appreciate the character development, especially with Sidney and Gale.

You gotta see all of them SCREAM is about ORIGINALS SCREAM 2 is about SEQUELS SCREAM 3 is about TRILOGIES SCRE4M is about REMAKES 5CREAM is about REQUELS SCREA/VI is about FRANCHISES SC7EAM is about........TBD All of them are GREAT in their own way!

Some fun facts about this. Yes this movie is meant to have a tone that is considered Meta. Where the horror movies we all know and love exist in this universe as well as the tropes that come with them. So this movie is very self aware which is why it has that tone. When Sidney stabbed Billy with the umbrella she missed her mark on the pad and stabbed him for real over scar tissue from a heart surgery. So that second scream is very real. The final party scene took over 2 weeks to film and considered one of the longest scenes to film in horror at 40 minutes. Wes Craven did create Nightmare on Elm Street. And he’s the janitor dressed up as Freddy. Tatums actress actually could fit through the cat door, so they had to pin her shirt to the door to make it seem like she couldn’t fit. The movie originally had an NC-17 rating. They had to cut down quite a bit from this movie in terms of the kills because it was much bloodier than the film’s theatrical release. Wes directed the first 4 before he died. So he had a hand in all of them unlike most horror sequels. Billy was definitely modeled after Johnny Depps character in Nightmare on Elm Street. There was a version of one of the sequels where Shaggy lived. I’d watch em all cause Sidney’s character really becomes such an icon as far as survival and development. She is THE final girl.

Having lost my mom back in 2020, watching this now and seeing Billy and Sidney herself expect her to be “over” her mom’s brutal murder and assault in less than a year is WILD.

“Is this movie,,, supposed to feel like a meme?” No, but you feel that way because you’ve seen Scary Movie before lol.

I would like to see you watch all of them just for the story progression, also I love the cameos and all of the meta stuff they pull off

Honestly, the Scream franchise is an absolutely amazing series. I simply can't get enough of it. It also has one of the most rememberable lines ever. Speaking of, "What's your favorite scary movie?" And yes please watch the movies leading up to five, if you don't the story won't make sense.

none of them are filler. all of them are referenced constantly bc it's a consistent timeline

Scream 1-3: About Sydney's mother's death Scream 4-6: About Fame and Fandom

definitely watch 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. it is worth it. its not just filler. 3 may not be the best movie, but i have good character development, that is important to the story's in the future movies

Please watch them all. Personally I consider SCREAM to be the best running horror franchise of all time. 5 films and all of them are great.

You need to watch the whole franchise. It has its ups and downs but there isn't a bad Scream movie. I hope you love all of them. Scream 6 is out this week!! ❤🔪❤🔪❤ Great video!

Mike please do all of them. It'll be a fun ride

Scream has always been a dark comedy franchise that is super meta and tries to satirize clichés in the horror genre so thats why you feel the movie is a little goofy sometimes because it doesnt take itself too seriously

Scream is an unforgettable horror flick. We appreciate your reactions, Mike.

People have to remember that the 90's was a different era. Social media wasn't a thing, cell phones were in its beginning stages, the internet only had limited web sites to visit and peoples source of entertainment were movies and in - person interaction. I remember when this movie came out. I was 12 and the horror genre was pretty nonexistent. What dominated the box offices were teen movies and love stories. When Scream came out it was like a breath of fresh air when it came to the horror genre. All people were saying was "Did yall see the new movie Scream". I think if people watch "Scary Movie" before they watch "Scream" it sort of ruins the movie. It gets to the point where they are to busy pointing out things that was funny and comparing whats going on in Scary movie to Scream instead of just seeing Scream as its own movie.

I laugh my ass off everytime Matthew Lillard gets hit in the back of the head with the phone for reals lmao 🤣

Excuse me who said 2 and 3 are filler. The mastermind killer in scream 2 is very important in this franchise and same for the killer in 3. Especially since scream 3 was how this franchise was gonna end. Scream 6 is gonna reference a lot of every movie so it’ll be spoiling the killer reveals in those movies too so you should absolutely watch them.

The Opening scene was on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments and when the audience saw Drew Barrymore, they thought she was going to be the hero. Boy, were they wrong!

Watch all of them they all are connected and 2-3 aren’t filler especially 3 which will give you a fresh perspective on how the series started and also offers great character development for certain characters you’ll follow even up to 6. Also many people including myself regards Scream 2 as the best sequel so far Also Meg Ryan’s Jack Quaid’s mom (Hughie from The Boys)

A true Scream fan NEVER skips a Scream movie Watch All Of Them 👻 💀

Bro you really have to watch all 5 to get caught up !! They all connect an you can’t appreciate the new ones without the knowledge from all the old ones 🤞🏼

Each movie is poking fun at some aspect of horror. The first being slashers, second being sequels, third being the wrap up of a trilogy. 4th being remakes and 5th being "requels" and in between is really good character development that you'd miss out on if you skip them. Some aren't as good as others but there really aren't any truly *bad* ones. 3 is considered the worst by a lot of fans but it's not a bad movie. It's just the most different from the others and is more comedic.

You have to watch all of them Mike, I just got done working my way through them all so I could go see Scream 6 and I’m so glad I did

I rewatch this whole series every other month. It was my introduction to horror because I was such a scaredy-cat as a kid. I definitely recommend watching the whole series.

I believe Wes Craven said he filmed the first Scream movie based around the classic horror stereotypes which is why they’re always referenced. Maybe that’s why it feels like it’s meme feeling all these years later cuz the movie is poking fun at itself

2&3 are important for 5s story. I highly suggest seeing the whole road just for context. One and done. 4 was my least and i will never see it again. All others have their purpose.

that's just what public bathroom soap dispensers were like in the 90s.. the bottom is a nozzle that you push up on with the palm of your hand and it lets soap run out.

OMG!! What I am needing during this difficult time! I CANNOT & I MEAN CANNOT WAIT TO WATCH THIS 🤍😂🤣

Also this just shows how good a job scary movie did, with the opening scene 😂

Just do the whole series I'd say. Scream 2 is pretty much just as good as the original. You'll get a chuckle out of how cheesy Scream 3 is, and then you'll love Scream 4 and 5.

You HAVE to watch Scream 2! It’s not “just filler.”

The Janitor that was used as the Nightmare On Elm Street reference was played by Wes Craven, there’s so many little details and references to go through with this movie

Scream 1, 2, & 4 was the best. Those 3 was written by the same guy, so it’s consistently good.

Scream was meant to be a meta horror movie, slasher movies specifically, so yeah it's a bit of a meme. After this one, it even starts to parody of itself, but in a cool way that was really fresh at the time.

Nah man you gotta do the whole series, 2 and 3 aren’t fillers, these movies all have some sort of connections

Whoever told you the 2nd and 3rd are filler and to skip to 4 needs their fan card revoked 😂

fun info about this movie: when billy threw the phone at stu, that was an accident. it wasn't supposed to happen and it wasn't in the script. the phone slipped out of skeet's (billy) hand and they decided to keep it in the movie. as well as the line "my mom and dad are going to be so mad at me" that was improv by matthew who plays stu. in the scene where drew was calling 911, the phone was an actual phone so the police on the other side thought it was a real 911 call. (im not sure if that's 100% true but a lot of people talked about it so im going with that.) in another scene, where sidney jumps out of the closet and stabs billy with the umbrella, skeet's (billy) scream was actually a real scream. neve (sidney) accidently hit him in spot where he received open heart surgery as a kid so his scream was genuine and they used it in the final cut.

Fun fact:Stu was supposed to live and be brought back in 3, running a cult from prison and orchestrating a bunch of kills but they were forced to change it last minute because columbine happened, he was paid for the part and everything. The writer, Kevin Williamson, went on to use the idea for his show “the following” with Kevin bacon

"Last thing we need is anotha one of him runnin around." 😂😅😂😏

The cheerleader in the bathroom was Skeet Ulrich’s (billy) at the time. Also Wes craven was the janitor in the Freddy outfit (he created Freddy too) and the jacket the principal put in was the actual jacket he wore in happy days

You should watch all the scream films. All of them are really good . The 3rd isn't as good as the others. But is still a good film

This whole franchise also has a strong reputation of killing off famous people, all opening kills are relevant of the times

Personally, as a massive fan of scream, I think you need to watch them all! They’re great metal slashers, that comment on the stereotypes of horrors The first comments on horror as a whole The second on horror sequels The third on horror trilogies The fourth came out as horror films were being remade and rebooted, like child’s play and nightmare on elm street And then the fifth came out around the time requels were being produced like the new Halloween movies. Wes Craven was a genius, he’s made so many iconic horrors, and this in my opinion is the goat! Can’t wait to see your reactions :)

character development in this series is what makes it tbh you shouldnt really skip around

I think you should watch all of them just for the experience, and a few questions from the first are filled in in the second and third movies, which were originally intended as a trilogy, I believe.

I need you to watch the whole series! If you watch Dewey, Gale, and Sidney’s journey through the whole series it’s very satisfying in 4 and 5

The whole franchise! Sidney Prescott is THEE final girl and you have to see her in all her glory.

You actually got it!!! Wes always said his Scream films are black comedies, they’re not meant to be taken seriously as he’s also making fun out of horror films. So technically Scary Movie is a spoof film of a spoof film 😂 and one reason Skeet got hired for Billy was because of his likeness to Johnny Depp who they tried to get first

Definitely recommend watching all the Scream movies. It’s personally my favorite horror franchise.

Please do the whole franchise brother. I wanna see you do scream 1 to 5. Scream 6 comes out this weekend. Can't fuckin wait 🔥🔥🔥

Have a marathon and go through all of them. It’s great development

My man said "Evil Dead 2013" without hesitation. Nice.

BTW, I just started watching your videos recently, I’m working my way through your reaction videos and I’ve loved all of them so far, so keep up the good work!

the scream franchise is one of the best and my all time favorite. i will never get tired of watching the scream movies, they're just so good. yeah, people might not find them scary but the storyline is amazing and of course some comedy moments that i love especially from stu and randy. i hope to see you react to all the scream movies, i know people diss the second and third one a lot but they are really good and the plot twist is insane. and you'll also see a lot of character development especially from sidney and gale.

I loved you doing this reaction! I have so many fond memories watching this movie! I've seen it so many times! I can't wait got you to do the sequels!

fun fact not only did wes craven direct the movie but he was actually the one who played fred the janitor

The janitor Fred who was dressed like Freddie Krueger is director Wes Craven who also directed and wrote A Nightmare on Elm Street, so it was an intentional nod to FK

I always find it hilarious that they literally told us billy was the killer when we first saw him they started playing ‘don’t fear the reaper’

Yeah the tone of this was intentional. It makes fun of horror movie tropes while also using them. It was originally titled Scary Movie but they changed it to Scream. The first and fourth one are my favorites but I would definitely watch them all!

You and pretty much it both thought they knew and then were surprised at the two killers and who they were. It was awesome to watch.

Yes the whole point of Scream is for it to be a parody of horror movies while being a horror movie itself.

I explode with glee every time Matthew Lillard is on screen😂

Yeah gotta watch them all. And yes they’re intentionally a little goofy and very self aware. especially in the ones by Wes craven

MY DUDE I’ve been waiting ages for you to react to the Scream Franchise!! I’d love for you to react to all of them instead of just the first and fourth! Honestly, Scream 5 hits more when you watch the whole series! You da man!

Don't skip 2 and 3. They're fun.

This movie was made/released in 1996. 1). Compact Mobile Phones had only just started to become a thing, and were not that wide spread at the time they did not even text at this point and any previous generation of phone was the size of a brick.. I didn't have my first mobile phone until 2002 when I was 23 and only then because I was driving (I'm in the U.K.) and needed a phone in an emergency. 2). Mid 1990's internet was nothing like today, don't think of it in today's terms. Anyone remember DOS?.

Funny thing was Wes craven was the junior in the movie

Please watch the whole franchise . True fans love every movie. it all comes together ! they are great!

Love how you had a hint of a accent Mike. Love your reactions hope all is well .🙂

Watch all of them! Scream 4 will have a much bigger impact if you watch all of them cause you fall in love with Sidney, plus the other main characters

Yes I love this franchise and would love if you watched all 6! 😊

Mike watch them all. HANDS DOWN the best horror franchise.

I still laugh when I think about how Nev almost killed Skeet with that umbrella scene

Scream is based on a real serial killer, the Gainsville Ripper (a.k.a. Danny Rolling).

the thing about scary movie was that it was parodying a movie that was already a parody. scream was a dark parody of the slasher genre as a whole just in a way where it still worked as a genuine slasher

I love your accent! Door, Boyz, car!!!! Great video man!

Me and my buddy watched this a few days ago and kenny falling off thruck and aidney being in the road had us cracking up

Yes do all of them, and I can't believe someone said the second one is a filler??? It was my favorite out of all of them.

Dude you gotta do them all. There is no bad scream film. I mean the worst one being 3 isn’t even a bad film. It’s still really good

She couldn’t scream in the beginning scene is because the killer had choked her (realistically not for long enough to damage her voice)

The random guy dressed as Freddy is the director Wes craven.. he did nightmare on elm street also. He makes small cameos in his films

something about this series is it was meta AF and has been imitated 1000s of times

we will be expecting 4 more scream reactions

Love your reactions lol! The first and 4th are def my favorite then probably the 5th

“I hope he didn’t die. I want to see him come back in one of the sequels.” You and the rest of the internet 😂

Oh also Scream was the trendsetter that birthed the saw movies, it was billy and stu that played games first lol.

Atleast I'm not the only one that things stu should come back in one of them I seriously hopes he pops up in the scream 6

You have got to watch the whole series, 1, 2, 3 and 4, all of them before 5. It’s a whole story. And trust me, those people say it’s “filler” because 2 and 3 were desperately trying to connect the killers to 1’s, as being related to Billy. But also, related to Sidney also. I can only assume they say that because they either disliked/hated them. It’s a continuous storyline, and so it’s time to sit through them and enjoy them for what they are. Do not listen to those people!

Bro the 2nd one is definitely the best. Gotta watch that for sure

*insert Ghostface voice* Hello Mike. I hate to be the bringer of bad news but Jenna Ortega is not the main character of Scream 5. That honor falls to the upcoming star Melissa Barrera. Please note, that Scream 5 was also before the TV show Wednesday aired on Netflix.Therefore, I would..... slice your expectations in half. High expectations could inevitably *kill* your excitement for Scream 6 and we wouldn't want that to happen... Or would we... Now... What's Your Favorite Scary Movie?

Definitely watch the entire franchise these movies are so great, loved this video too

I think it would be so much fun to watch you see all of them!

I can totally see Mike being Billy and Roman being Stu.😂😂

Yeah Wes Craven's intent was to make it a meta commentary on movies, making it the first self referential movie that made the term "meta" huge. Scream kinda changed movies.

4:57 "You be aiight." lol

scream is one of those rare horror series where every movie is almost as good as one another and i think you need to watch all of them to truly appreciate it

Watch all of them. Trust me. You might not love the third one during the first watch but you’ll learn to come around to it after you see them all

A classic. Gonna watch the full length on Patreon this weekend, once I deal witha bank issue.
