Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Scream franchise is known for its horror movie references, but it doesn't get all of them right. The franchise, which kicked off in 1996 with the first collaboration between director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson, quickly became iconic, contributing elements such as the killer's eerie mask and the question "What's your favorite scary movie?" to the pop culture pantheon.
While this formula has been repeated in movies including Slaughter High, The House on Sorority Row, and Terror Train, it doesn't actually apply to the events of Scream. Randy couldn't have known this at the time, so his choosing Prom Night as an example isn't necessarily a mistake on his part.
However, the teenagers at the core of Scream seem much too pop culture savvy to make a mistake like that. It is true they all have different knowledge bases, and Tatum's previous reference to Tom Cruise in All the Right Moves shows that her tastes do extend outside of horror. However, with extremely few exceptions, every other character, actor, or director mentioned in the franchise is cited correctly, which makes this moment stick out like a sore thumb.
5 I Spit On Your Garage Scream While Tatum may have interests outside of the horror genre, one of her biggest scenes sees her pulling out a reference to a less widely known horror title. When trapped in the garage by Ghostface , she asks "What movie is this from, I Spit on Your Garage?" This is a reference to the 1978 grindhouse movie I Spit On Your Grave, also known as Day of the Woman.
However, the use of that term never took off in real life, and it was eclipsed by the more popular "legacy sequel." Much like her uncle Randy with his Prom Night reference, the blame for this issue doesn't lie on Mindy's shoulders. But "legacy sequel" came into common usage so quickly after the movie's release that it rang false when she and Kirby used the term "re-quel" in their discussion of Candyman in Scream VI the following year.
2 Randy’s College Slasher Rant Scream 2 Close While taunting Ghostface about doing a killing spree on a college campus, Randy rattles off a list of 1980s slashers. Those titles, The House on Sorority Row, The Dorm That Dripped Blood, Splatter University, Graduation Day, and Final Exam, all have university settings with one exception. 1981's Graduation Day is actually set at a high school, following a track team being hunted down in the lead-up to their graduation.
