There are certain RULES!

One of those rules is that when someone asks you if you want to re-watch Scream, YOU SAY YES! (Okay now I'm just paraphrasing totally unrelated semi-Halloweeny movies; Wes Craven would approve of the metaness, maybe?)

I fucking love Scream. If Ghostface asked me what my favorite scary movie is, I'd be cheating a little because I don't actually find it scary, but I'd say Scream. It's one of my all-time favorite movies, and when a good excuse to rewatch it comes up, it's happening.

Scattered reactions!

• The opening scene made me want popcorn and I didn't have any popcorn :(

• I'm just going to headcanon that Ghostface decided to kill Casey when she said all of the Nightmare on Elm Street sequels were bad. I mean, how dare you.

• It's really a shame that Casey kept putting all of her points into crying and sweaters; if she had put a few points into running we wouldn't even be in this situation right now.

• SOMEONE ACTUALLY SAYS "THESE KIDS TODAY" ABOUT ALL THE MURDERS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THESE KIDS TODAY, WITH THE HAIR AND THE MUSIC AND ALL THE MURDERING. A WELL-DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH "THESE KIDS TODAY."

• Also, the principal expels some kids whose prank was admittedly pretty gross, but expelling them feels like an overreaction even before he starts foaming at the mouth while ranting about their "havoc-inducing, thieving, whoring generation." (Whoa, dude.) I think basically what's happening here is Craven wants to comment on the whole ineffectual authority figure thing you usually get in movies like this, but instead of having him not believe Sidney or some weird bullshit like that, he decides to highlight it by having him go completely too far in the other direction (while still preserving the trope of the poor bastard getting offed about midway through the film).

• Hey! Mass Effect players!!! ... Sidney used a Renegade interrupt on Gale. You know the one.

• "Wes Carpenter"

• I high-key wanna fool around with someone who's wearing a Ghostface costume.

• My name is Sidney Prescott. You killed my mother. Prepare to die.

What's your favorite scary movie?
