Which killer killed who in scream

The "Scream" fandom wiki claims to have figured out all of the kills, with, of course, the death of Stu's girlfriend Tatum Rose McGowan being one of the most controversial.

The wiki also lists Stu as being dead at the end of "Scream" but since we didn't see his final breath leave his body, I'm still holding out hope that we get a Matthew Lillard appearance in the upcoming "Scream. Dimension Films. And I think some are more obvious than others in hindsight, obviously. Ulrich even mentions that Lillard spoke with Kevin Williamson, the film writer, and even he hadn't figured that out.

Considering how thought-out scripts and stories must be before going to camera, it's a surprising revelation that the question hadn't even resulted in any conversations behind the scenes. While it can be assumed, using Ulrich's logic, that the attack on Sidney when she's home alone is perpetrated by Stuart since Loomis appears shortly afterward, the person responsible for the initial attack that opens the film against Drew Barrymore's character is likely never to be conclusively answered.

Ultimately, it's for the film's good that such fan debates have continued for so many years after its release. That a film can remain culturally significant and be the subject of so many conversations and friendly arguments for 25 years after its release is no small feat.

It remains to be seen whether the new Scream film will recapture the energy and tone of the original — it does include many of the original cast members , after all — but hopefully, audiences will still be talking about it many years after its release.

Sure enough, Billy Loomis was the «Voice», the one speaking on the phone with Casey Becker , initiating a cruel game, a deadly guessing game.

The day after Billy does not object his «walking» on the evening of the murder. Billy has performed the role of the «Voice» to avoid the possibility that Casey Becker can recognize her ex-boyfriend on the phone. We can assume that it was Billy Loomis who has committed this act of crime due to the conversation on the next day. While friends spending their time on the fountain, Billy pointedly tells his fellow Stu, that nobody claims Macher to be a murderer. It is more likely that Stu Macher meant the partnership and Billy as the brain center of the events.

Even if it was Macher who had chosen his ex-girlfriend as a target. Even though Tatum Riley tells that she and Stu had spent the night before together, this claim does not stand with facts, critics and common sense. Randy Meeks unconsciously destroys this version with an unsuitable joke about the anatomic details of the slaughter. Billy and Stu have previously foreseen the fact that Macher would become the main suspect as the ex-boyfriend of Casey Becker and they would need to ensure an alibi.

In a scene when Casey manages to take the mask of the murderer off, the movie openly hints at us that the girl recognizes the face. As Stu Macher had been her ex-boyfriend, Casey also had to know Billy Loomis, his fellow and a boy from the same school as she is.

The main argument for Stu Macher as the killer is the words of Kevin Williamson, a screenwriter who has once confirmed that it was Stu who did stab Casey. Despite the general statement that this act of violence was nothing more than a show, two partners in crime have reached their long-play goals. Billy intentionally drops his telephone and initiates, in this respect, a chain of events dealing with the Woodsboro police, which finally grants him an alibi and preventive image of a person who has been accused by an accident and who in fact is innocent.

Billy Loomis tented to make nice with Sidney to have sex with her and to continue preparations for the future blood-bath within the Woodsboro.

We can have no doubt that it was Stu Macher who has acted as a performer. In addition, even considering the fact, the «Ghost» was acted by a stunt, we see dark pants under the cloth. While Stu Macher was tenting to make a farce with no real intention to harm Sidney, Billy Loomis, again, has acted as a voice on the phone.

He is more cold-blood and patient than Stu and uses the stolen cell-phone of Neil Prescott. The Voice expresses aggression, when a conversation with Sidney deals with Maureen Prescott, as Billy Loomis hates Maureen and he has managed to kill this woman a year before the main plot events. Scream movie raises the stakes of our involvement and suspense by hinting on another act of violence, supposedly brought into action by Billy Loomis.

In fact, neither Billy nor Stu have participated in this scene. We see Sidney, who runs off Billy after unpleasant conversation and misunderstanding.

She lefts Billy Loomis behind and rushes into the school toilet. She spends a moment near the mirror, hides from the girls and then goes back.

Sidney, in fact, could choose a number of routes. A person with mask and cloth was already within the WC cabin when Sidney Prescott came into. He seems to be a naughty pupil, who wanted to scare some girls. On the other hand, if this person has spent his time in a cabin, how could he know that Sidney Prescott was a girl behind the door to whisper her name. So this scene should be considered as another portion of tension, delicately given by a screenplay. On top of everything else, this attacker does not have a knife in his hand in a so-called assault on Sidney.

Shortly before the scene with mister Himbry in his office, the movie gives us an image of Stu Macher, running back towards the Woodsboro school. In fact, Stu had a lot of things to do before the evening party and after approval from Sidney. Hardly that Stu decided to go back and to kill the principal in the meantime. As Stu was a murderer of Casey Becker and probably Steve Orth, it was time for Billy to take a more active part in the real-time movie, partners have planned.

Billy Loomis was already within the school and have felt himself not in the best way after an argument, resembling the topic of both mothers: Mrs. Loomis and Maureen Prescott. An extremely painful conversation piece for unstable Billy. In this respect, the murder of Principal Himbry was probably a kind of slaughter improvisation. One can argue that Billy needed to have a knife, a costume, and a mask here away from the territory rather than within a locker.

Therewith, it was Stu Macher who made a call to his own house a few years after, to inform schoolmates that Principal Himbry had been murdered and hanged on the goalposts. In addition, Casey Becker was hanged on a tree. Yet, Billy Loomis could participate in the first on-screen murder and now just informed his partner in crime with the details about Himbry.

At the same time, he could make himself away to the toilet, kitchen and find any cause to leave the room. It was he who has asked Tatum Riley to visit the garage for a beer.

If we assume that Billy took the job, Stu has already stood the thought of his girlfriend to be killed. The next plot hit is too obvious to be ignored. We should pay attention to the moment when Billy and Stu come across each other at the front door.

Billy Loomis openly gives facial expressions like: »Ok, the job is done» as a point of the common plan to manage a bloodbath this evening and Tatum was one of the victims. Considering the previous paragraph, yet it was most likely Stu Macher who has stabbed his own girlfriend.

We notice the murder near the inner garage door, so he had got in from the house and not from the outside. After the act of violence, the murderer goes into hiding the same way to the house. The Scream killer has to have an understanding of what is going on within the party, where are the guests and how to seek into the garage without being suspended.

Billy Loomis had no idea of the situation and he would be likely noticed within the party, before or after the case with the clothing and the mask. A few minutes later we notice him outside. Even if the situation when Stu follows Tatum on her way to the garage seems strange and poor realistic, almost certainly Stu Macher was the killer of Tatum Riley.

When the plot comes to the moment of the reveal and Billy Loomis tells Sidney Prescott the truth, Stu hands on a knife in a funny gesticulation. We deal with an undoubted fact that Stu Macher chased Sidney Prescott after a little planned scene with Billy and faked blood. Billy Loomis then spent the next minutes within the room waiting for the appropriate moment to take the situation to the final stage with Sidney and the revelation of the events.

Stu was the one , who attempted to kill Randy Meeks in fact, this only scene was performed by Skeet Ulrich and no by a stunt. Soon after Billy expresses his disappointment with the fact that Gale Weathers is still alive and not dead since Stu Macher had to deal with her before.

We have the maximum probability that Stu has been acting as the Scream killer in these scenes of the Scream movie, chased Sidney, Gale near the house. Consequently, it was Stu Macher who stabbed Dewey into his back.

It was the second fail to kill the person after Gale Weathers. And finally, Sidney Prescott accomplishes another two murderers. She electrocutes Stu and shots Billy Loomis. One could argue that Mickey was the only killer in Scream 2, but this statement is obviously false and the participation of each partner in crime is not so obvious, which makes the process even more exciting.

On the one hand, we can assume that Mrs. Loomis has only performed the role of a puppet master for Mickey and did nothing with any of the homicide directly.

My more detailed and thorough version involves her into some of the assaults explicitly. There could not be doubts that Mickey Altieri has acted as the Ghost within the opening scene. It may well be a kind of murder test for him to assure Mrs. Loomis in his readiness for action. Body constitution and the height of the killer strongly persuade in a man as the murderer.

Both Maureen Evans and Phil Stevens have been stabbed by the same person, who took the bloodied coat and took the place of the Phil.

At the very moment, when the murderer stabs Maureen, we notice the undisputed difference in height. We can also recognize Mickey to the murder process itself. The Scream 2 killer openly expresses a kind of evil ecstasy, stabbing a young girl to death. Mickey is a movie geek, who now delivers his sadistic vision and slaughters a person within the cinema with the «Stab» movie as the background. Mickey Altieri considers Billy Loomis and Stu Macher as the filmmakers and stars of the own film, which resulted in a horror in-movie story on the screen.

Mickey Altieri performs as the killer in this scene as he makes amateur filming of the victim from the bushes, which will be found later by Gale and Dewey. The killer broke the balcony window with Cici and then stabbed her twice and threw her still alive from the second floor. This moment of strength figures out a man to be to driving force under the mask.

Casey Cooper was chosen as the victim broadly to her first name and Mrs. Loomis had no point to dirty hands with this minor intermediate victim, on her long-stand way to revenge. Loomis had a reliable partner and pupil who was ready to do the business.
