Alright so a brand new Scream 6 trailer dropped yesterday, and my lord, Ghostface.
Hitting up the big Apple.
My dudes gonna be like “Ehhhh I’m killing here”.
But yeah, there is a lot to unpack, so in this video we’re going to cover the new
footage we got, new characters that show up, along with why the heck Ghostface is now living
in a New York studio apartment.
But with all of that out of the way, a huge thank you for clicking this, I’m your host
Jared, the Scary Movie of the Heavy Spoilers channel, now let’s get into Scream 6.
“This isn’t like any other Ghostface”
Alright so kicking things off, Scream 6 changes things up, with the surviving members heading
off to college in the concrete jungle where dreams are made of.
However the Carpenter sister’s PTSD appears to be following right behind, as they are
chased into a bodega, by someone wearing a Ghostface mask.
Now this one differs from later ones in the trailer.
This one looks worn, a bit older, kinda like how Micheal’s mask was decrepit looking
in the 2018 Halloween rebootquel, so it could be an original.
Clearly it looks like he or she is after the Carpenter sisters, as Ghostface gives this
man the business, and narrowly dodges incoming shotgun fire from the store clerk.
Instead turning the weapon back on him, and this is such a badass image of a weathered
Ghostface packing some serious heat.
There is a clever disclaimer on the pillar to the right stating “No exchange or refund
on phone cards” referencing Ghostface running out of all of those prepaid minutes asking
people about their favorite scary movies.
The two sisters try to sneak away, but some broken glass gives away their location.
This could all be a complete misdirect, and just be a robber in a random mask they found.
Honestly the police probably show up right after this and smoke the fool.
We then get a voice over from Sam Carpenter talking to someone.
I’m assuming it’s her new college roommates or potentially sorority sisters about her
fleeing from California, being Billy Loomis’s daughter, but also how the evil of Ghostface
has followed her across the county, and how they are in danger too.
Sam is holding the same worn Ghostface mask from the bodega sequence, with a bit of blood
on her.
I still think that Ghostface is taken out, because Sam is holding the mask with the same
navy jacket she was wearing in the bodega.
So potentially it’s the next morning, and police are gathering information from the
crime scene.
There is a quick sequence showcasing new and returning characters.
First is Liana Liberato as Carly, maybe Sam’s roommate.
Tara standing with Chad Meeks, as you can see on his sweater the group is all attending
the fictional Blackfield university in New York.
Sam and Mindy Meeks, standing with a new character of Alison, who I’m assuming is a new friend
or again roommate.
They’re all terrified because someone in a Ghostface mask is at the door.
Mindy tells Alison to run, I’m guessing it’s because she’s newer to the group
and has no clue who Ghostface is.
My favorite part of this is Kirby.
Kirby is back babaaayyy!
I know a lot of people assumed she died in Scream 4, but there is actually a tease of
her still being alive in Scream 5.
I think in a list of suggested youtube videos that Richie is looking at, but yeah she is
back.
It was rumored she went into law enforcement after the events of Scream 4, potentially
a detective, as you can see the man walking behind her is sporting a badge of some sort,
so we can assume they are at the station, interviewing the Carpenter sisters after the
bodega attack.
Much like the sisters, it seems like Kirby moved across the country to get away from
the PTSD of the Ghostface attacks.
Personal nit-pick, where’s the pixie cut?
I mean oooohhh man!
Now this might be my favorite part of the trailer, as we get into Ghostface’s new
lair.
First we see someone has graffitied almost a memorial to Ghostface on the wall.
The quote of “What’s your favorite scary movie?” is shown, obviously being their
iconic catchphrase, starting all the way back in the first movie.
This appears to be an old abandoned theater, kind of reminiscent of the ending of Scream
2, as the old and new members investigate.
I’m curious what actually brought them here, or if it’s all a trap to get them in one
place, and then close the gate behind.
Anyway there is a whole treasure trove of easter eggs and references to previous Scream
movies tucked away here.
Whoever this Ghostface is, clearly is obsessed with the Ghostface lore, and in the words
of Gale: “It’s a shrine”
If we slow things down, the first police uniform appears to be from Woodsboro, potentially
belonging to Hoss or Perkins from Scream 4.
The gray shirt almost cut to shreds is Olivia’s also from Scream 4.
This mask is ripped directly from the Scream 2, when Sidney is performing her interpretive
dance in the theater.
There’s several pieces of Stab memorabilia in the glass cases to the left and right.
There is a whole bevy of older outfits, as we can see Jill Robert’s blue flannel and
pants from Scream 4.
Debby Salt aka Mrs. Loomis’s blazer she wore in Scream 2.
Casey’s boyfriend, Steve’s Varsity football jacket in the middle, even the duct tape on
the mannequin mouth.
Tatum Riley’s shirt and skirt from the first Scream.
There is Stu’s bloodied shirt from the ending of Scream, and Stu’s red silk robe he wore
in that.
Surprisingly if you look closely, the old CRT TV that fell on Stu at the end of Scream
1 is also tucked away by the robe, so this is a serious collector, how’d they get this?
There’s also a flag sporting the same colors of Woodsboro High, I’m assuming it’s their
flag, The stupid fax machine from Scream 3, and the star or sun stage prop Derek was hanging
on at the end of Scream 2 tucked away on the left.
I probably missed a couple things, so let me know in the comments, and also stab that
“like button” and subscribe button as it helps us out.
Do it ehh, or I’ll prank call you.
But now the holy grail of the room, are the 9 different Ghostface outfits on stage, representing
the 9 different Ghostface killers there have been.
To jog your memory, Scream 1 had Billy and Stu, Scream 2 had Mickey and Mrs. Loomis,
Scream 3 was Roman, Scream 4 was Jill and Charlie, And lastly Scream 5 was Richie and
Amber.
Also it’s pretty cool that there are little name plates at the bottom of each to show
who wore them, and if you zoom in, the glass encased one belongs to Billy.
Which brings about the theory that Stu is still alive or behind all of this.
He’s the only character from the original film to have never 100% been confirmed to
be alive or dead, so I think it would be a wild series of events to know he has been
behind the scenes orchestrating all of this.
Now I think there was a rumor or early discarded script, maybe Scream 3 I can't entirely remember,
that had Stu sort of mentoring a cult of other Ghostface’s to do his bidding.
So with 9 costumes here, I can see the plot going that way, with a group of Ghostfaces,
rather than our usual 1 or 2, because the later subway sequence does not look promising
for our main survivors.
Sure Mathew Lillard has denied any sort of involvement, but come on.
Shaggy, say it wasn’t you.
The next sequence is a bit of homage to Ghostface calling their victim first to toy with them,
that originated in the first Scream.
Gale’s boyfriend maybe or whoever is snatched by this Ghostface which I love when slashers
do blurry things in the background, but Gale totally seems like she can handle her own.”You’re
like the 10th guy to do this” This is a great self aware line, because this will be
the 10th person to dawn the Ghostface mask, so great writing team.
However much like Dewey in Scream 5, I don't think Gale is making it out of this one alive.
It makes sense to finally hand over the franchise to the new generation.
There’s several quick flashing moments of the film, it looks like a final showdown in
the same theater where the Ghostface shrine is.
From this shot of Tara and Sam, I’m convinced there are going to be a couple of Ghostface's
once again, hopefully it’s the cult like I theorized.
Chad is seen fighting one, and Willaims the police chief is also looking for one.
Several shots of the group having to scale across an apartment building to escape Ghostface,
while he or she is about to drop the latter.
Very Home Alone of you, Ghostface.
And then a quick look at Tony Revolori’s, Gabe, and Samara Weaving’s, Sasha.
More than likely they might be the opening famed kill sequence of the film, because this
is all we see of them.
BUT if we pause on the Gabe shot.
There is a poster for Vertigo behind him, along with an image of The Last Podcast on
the Left.
His shirt also a nod to the movie Four Flies on Grey Velvet.
All of these deal with murder cases, crimes, true crime, fake crime, some sort of crime,
I don't know, so that may be the running theme of this one.
How funny would it be, that the Ghostface people are revealed to just be podcasters?
And to close the trailer we get our group of Woodsboro friends riding the subway, with
our first look at another new group member David, played by Josh Segarra.
Now if he looks familiar, it’s because he just played Pug in the She-Hulk series a few
months back.
Anyway it looks like the group is having to escape Ghostface via the subway on Halloween
night.
The subway car is filled with horror, slasher, and other movie character references so let’s
break them all down, starting with the guy dressed as The Babadook behind the group.
In the next shot, there is a werewolf mask, that is Peachfuzz from the movie Creep, obscure
reference, I know.
Along with Pin-head from the Hellraiser franchise.
The Creep mask from Creepshow.
The woman with her back turned is dressed as Samara’s Weaving’s bride character
from Ready or Not.
This is both a nod to her starring in Scream 6, along with Matt Bettinelli also directing
both films.
There is a Jason mask off to the right, that looks similar to the one he wears in Friday
the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan, which seems very fitting.
A couple of tethered from Jordan Peele’s Us above Jason, and then there’s a quick
look at a guy dressed as Freddy Kruegar from Nightmare on Elm Street, again another Wes
Craven joint.
Anyway it looks like the group may be trapped, and a Ghostface or several of them get Mindy.
Potentially some clever editing, where she bites the dust earlier, and that's why she’s
not pictured with the full group at the start of this scene.
But yeah that's Scream 6 baby.
This trailer surprisingly has me super excited after me being wishy washy with Scream 5,
BUT if they bring back Stu, oohh hell yeah!
And this looks a bit more brutal than Scream 5, and with the line “There’s never been
one like me” I have faith they’re flipping the script once again.
Anyway I’d love to hear your thoughts on this latest Scream 6 trailer.
