[James] Hey everybody we're here at the house used in the original Scream.
[Chelsea] We're gonna take you inside and we're gonna go on a tour
[Chelsea] so we can show you how the house was used in the movie.
Yeah let's go
[James] Oh need the camera.
All right we just came in through the front door and so we're in the foyer of the
house and you see this room a lot near the end of the film, after most of the other kids
have gone and after Stu and Billy have revealed themselves to Sydney
"Surprise Sydney"
In fact through this front door is where Gale comes with
the gun and she ends up getting knocked back against this pillar and falls down on the
porch next to Dewey. This layout follows, uh, what they do in the movie.
Another moment earlier on is when the party's clearing out
"Tatum come on"
[offscreen] "Nobody here but us chickeeeens!"
Bawk bawk bawk
I've always liked that part.
In the movie these walls are dark red. They've repainted
all the walls in this house to be yellow, but clearly these stairs are the ones that
Billy winds up falling down after he's fake stabbed, after he comes out of
that room and is all like [Billy impression] 'Sid'
I would love to recreate that fall but I don't think the owner of the house would appreciate that.
"Whatever"
We were told that production used this as a staging area, which means that the crew
hung out here. They did basically what we're doing now. Put all their stuff here, their equipment.
This room is not used at all in the movie, even though it's pretty cool room, but you
do see a shot of it when Billy's here on the ground. You can see a shot from this angle
and you see a couch in the movie.
The famous kitchen is through that doorway. They keep that layout
in the house and they also keep that this is a closet.
So, actually, uh, let's see what's in that closet. Hold on let's see what we got here.
AHH!
Oh! Hi. that's just James I don't know who I
thought it would have been. This is the closet that Sydney jumps out of with her umbrella
that she stabs Billy with, but she missed the protective vest that he was wearing so
that scream is super real and sounds very painful.
[Pained scream]
After she comes out of the closet, stabs him, Stu comes out from over there which makes
sense layout wise in the house because the kitchen's back there and Stu starts chasing Sydney.
Stu and Sydney have their flight in here and that fight ends up making its way to
this room over here, where they go through this doorway and over this couch, and this
is our room where most of the party is happening. This is where everyone's hanging out and watching
Halloween and where Jamie Kennedy is explaining all the rules of horror movies.
I wanna put this away now. [Laughs]
[Teenagers cheersing and cheering]
This room is staged so perfectly. We've got all kinds of cassettes over here, which are
there in the movie. We've got our tv setup very similar to what's used in the movie,
and we have our potted plant. Obviously not the same one, but you get the idea.
[Pot shatters]
So yeah, you're in Jamie Kennedy's POV telling me about how to survive horror movie.
[James] No sex
[Feigned upset]
"Big no no!"
And one of the most important rules is you never say
[Chelsea] I'll be right back
Aaaaaaahhhhhh
Okay I'll see you in the kitchen with a knife.
All right so this room is a little breakfast nook area.
Uh, the front door is right over there to give you a sense of the layout and this room's
actually not seen that much in the movie. You do see it when Tatum walks through it
to go get a beer before she dies. She goes through there to the garage which is actually
where the garage is. The main attraction here is the kitchen. The climactic kitchen where
all the shit goes down. Now the kitchen is mostly the same. There was a big cabinet here
that has since been removed.
Good choice on that, really opens up this space. And of course the walls have once again
been repainted to this yellow. They were blue in the film, but the tiles on the backsplash
that's, that's all the same. Also the same: this light fixture,
which i think is kind of cool, and the blue would have gone better with the blue walls
back when that was painted. This little baby island in the middle of the kitchen, that's
the same. You can see this open shelving unit during some of the shots when of course Stu
and Billy are tormenting Sydney.
"It's called guess how i'm gonna die!"
"Fuck you!"
She's around right here, getting teased by Billy and Stu. The stove is the same. This is an
interesting stove. It's not gas powered; it's just always hot. So we just have to be careful,
later when we're cooking our jiffy pop on there, not to burn ourselves. But uh pretty
much everything else is the same I mean I think these cabinets are the same, with the
glass front. This door which we don't have access to but i think it's just a pantry.
It's where Stu brings Sydney's father out to show that they're framing
him. He falls down right around here.
"Guess we won't be needing this anymore, huh?"
The kitchen scene is one of my favorite climaxes in horror movies i think it's so
terrifying, the way that Billy and Stu are, and the way that they're tormenting Sydney,
and the acting is so great, and get all of Matthew Lillard's amazing line deliveries.
"It's a Scream baby!"
"You gotta have a sequel!"
"I'm feeling woozy here."
In fact, this is the little area
of course, uh, if you come over here, it'll be the angle where Stu ends up taking a seat
this is the phone that Sydney calls them on
and Stu ends up getting hit with and of course he says.
"You fuckin' hit me with the phone, dick!"
And, uh, this is when he's just kind of laying here and fucking
[Stu impersonation] dying man.
So Matthew Lillard spent a lot of time right here, which i'm just now comprehending and
I think that's awesome that I'm sitting in the same spot.
[Phone ringing]
What's that noise?
[Phone ringing]
[James] Ghostface?
"Should I let the machine get it?"
As far as the layout of the kitchen goes they do stay
accurate to real life with this, because you have the kitchen here and through this doorway
is this room where Randy, on screen right now, Jami Kennedy, is hosting the Halloween
screening. One thing that is a little confusing with the movie is when they're hanging out
here and Stu comes in and says
"Not gonna believe who's here he. It's that chick from top story"
So he comes in through this doorway
and it almost seems as though Gale and Dewey had entered through this door, but as we've
said, this is kind of a back door. You can see it just uh doesn't really go anywhere
I mean I think in the movie there's a, that white picket fence that runs all around the
property that's no longer here, but other than that, this is just a porch. And, uh,
at least I always assumed that Dewey and Gale came in through this door but i don't think
necessarily the movie's trying to say that they could have come in through that front
door walked through here where Gale has some adoring fans telling her how much they loved
watching her show, and she thinks that's great.
"You're damn right"
Another thing that in the movie makes total sense, you would never notice it, but in real
life makes no sense is this. The location of this closet in terms of where it is in
relation to the TV with Halloween on it, because Billy is here he's about to open the closet
right before Sydney pops out with the umbrella, and he kind of hears the TV on. It's Halloween
and it's Laurie in the closet, so he looks and it
he almost looks like he's watching the
TV which is not anywhere near that side of the house i can't even see into that other
room. TV is back here, so it doesn't make sense!
"You hear that Ray? I think she wants a motive."
One of the things we noticed while watching the movie too is that in the movie, this house
has a lot of little stained glass windows above the door frames. You can see one here.
You can see one over that one. Pretty much over every door, but those are gone now so
I guess that feature is not as popular nowadays. Okay this is the room upstairs that Billy
and Sydney have sex in. We were a bit confounded trying to find this room. It looks completely
different. The only reason we were able to figure out which one it is, is because in the
movie you can see the blue tiling in this bathroom back here, and the fact that this
wall is kind of a weird angle so we went looking and realized 'Oh this is the room we're staying
in.' So it's the big master bedroom upstairs. One really weird thing about this room is
if you look behind you, James, you will see that there's this whole other little area
in here, including stairs that go out to the hallway where this big chase scene starts
at the end right after Billy gets quote unquote stabbed
[Fake stab noise]
But the funniest thing is that, in the scene where it's just Sydney and Billy talking after
they've had sex, every shot of her is really really tight. She's like right here, because
they're framing out the fact that this is stairs. I. think there's like a fake window
here, but in real life i just think it's so funny that Sydney could have just run down
these stairs. Which is what Ghostface does. Ghostface pops out of this door down here
so instead of taking these stairs that exist in real life, and i think in the movie they're
trying to make it seem like they don't exist, Sydney jumps over the bed and goes all the
way around this way, out into this hallway up here.
In the movie there is stained glass
up here you can see that now there is a very beautiful Ghostface picture. [Laughs]
So we just came out of the master bedroom, Sydney is chased by Ghostface and she runs across this little
nice little balcony area over the foyer that we were in and she runs into this room. She
does come through this door, and is running, and as Chelsea said, when she gets over here
and is trying to go downstairs, that's when Ghostface comes down these stairs. So that
does make sense Ghostface was in this room, just like we were, because again this is the
master bedroom. We're back in that. They ran out this way. The only thing that doesn't make
sense is Sydney could have come from this corner and come down these stairs just like
this. Instead she allowed Ghostface to do that and he stops her so she can't go back
down the stairs and out the front door. Instead, she comes back up these little stairs. I just
love the layout of this house. It's so weird.
[Chelsea] It's so weird!
and it works so well for a horror
movie too. So, uh, I don't think these back rooms are used at all. So she runs back through here.
And when the film was made, this was not a wall. This actually opened up into, you can
see through the window there's another part of the house, and right now the owners of this
house use that as a guest house so that people can stay there while they hold events
but we can show you what's on the other side of that wall, because that's where Sydney runs
during the chasing so let's go check it out.
Okay, so this is the opposite wall of where
we just were and you can see that this is the room, as Sydney runs from there through
because you can really tell by the shape of this entryway. Right now there's a lot of beds
in here. Like i said it's a guest house for events. This isn't for a commune or anything.
Uh it's just so people can sleep during weddings and stuff, but Sydney runs this way. I think
she tries to open this window, and it doesn't work, and so with ghost face coming after her
I believe she then goes through this window. This is the window from which she falls into
the driveway there, as you can see, and of course in the driveway is a boat that she lands safely
on. Because landing on a boat? Pretty much a mattress.
[Kill Count Cllip] "You land on a mattress boat? That's not even a thing!"
Up those stairs is the guest room that we were just in, where Sydney's chase
scene ends and she jumps out the window, and this is where Tatum walks through to get beer
from the garage
wahhhhhhhhh
[Knocking]
"Hey shitheads"
So right now you're kind of in Ghostface POV. When Tatum asks 'Oh do you
wanna play psycho killer?'
Yeah [Laughs]
"You wanna play psycho killer?"
And then you get hit in
the face by this fridge.
"Ahhh"
"Ugh"
Then obviously we have our garage doors, very exciting. The doggy
door is not there anymore. We were informed that it's gone. Fair, cause you know that we
would have tried putting ourselves in it and probably breaking the garage.
[Garage door sputtering ]
[Lightbulb shatters]
and right here is where the boat would be. So that's the window that Sydney falls out
of onto the boat that's here, and honestly being here in person it makes sense that no
one would see Tatum's body. Because look at where we are.
[Laughs]
Some cows might see her, but it
makes sense to me that no one realized she was there all night for this party.
All right I hope you enjoyed this tour of the Scream house, I know I did.
Yeah thank you guys so...
[Crackling in background]
What is that?
I don't know
[Chelsea] You go first [Laughs]
Wait oh my god! Oh look!
[James] It's Ghostface!
[Chelsea] Oh my god it's Ghostface! Oh!
[James] With the Jiffy Pop! Oh hey man.
Wait is that for us? That's so nice of you.
What're you watching a scary movie tonight or what, like?
[Intense music]
[Screaming]
[James] Oh god, go, go. Awuawua
[Ghostface] What's your favorite scary movie?
