James don’t mean to be a burden but will you do a kill count on terrifier 2
KMK still slaps!
"EVERYBODY'S A SUPECT!" I mean let's get to recount the kills! that "To the numbers" bit was a little funny

Liev Schrieber’s excitement about his dog being in the film is honestly amazing
I just realized that good boy is now in puppy heaven and now I’m sad.
I love how West Craven just jokingly asks if the dog can hit a mark and Schrieber is like yeah if you put doggy biscuit there! 😅
it me

Adam Sandler was the same way with Little Nicky. Beefy was his actual dog, Meatball.
I liked Jamie doing the English accent, because it made the character feel like a real person. We all do SOMETHING weird and nonsensical just to amuse ourselves from time to time.
Randomness helps keep life fresh
Especially Randy it’s bizzare and doesn’t make any sense but that just fits his character
Scream 1, Scream 2, & Scream 4 are one of my favorite movie. Especially Scream 2. My favorite death scene is CiCi. I can watch that scene over and over again. I love the Scream VI trailer. Tara dangling over the balcony. I love that screen shot.
@@Nicholas_Chen_ yeah i love how every single time they picked up the phone it was always “ok randy wtf r u doing now” in the first and second flim
@@luwoowootv8585 cool
Honestly so sad how attached Dewy got to Syd bc he lost his own sister
Well, the first one he like, said too, if you remember, he didn’t care for her. I think he thought of her as a second sister in fact, I think he was always closer to said he was his own sister, because she kind of was mean to him, but the same time he loved her he loved his sister, I think he was always like a sister to him too
@@tammiepage6489almost had a stroke reading this text
The opening scene is a terrifying concept. Surrounded by hundreds of people and not a single one can save you

Imagine Will Smith walking up to Ghostface and slapping the s out of him.
I always liked the detail that Sidney never once saw Salt/Mama Loomis at any point in the movie until the reveal. She'd be the only one to recognize her, and it makes sense.
And Gale when she first meets her says "I thought you looked familiar", and then later says she's seen pictures of Mrs Loomis
I feel like Dewey would've recognized her too
Then, the follow-up movie has her never meeting the killer until the reveal. 😂
@@bigbearkat2010 I wouldn't really see how, but Dewey doesn't interact with her either.
I didn’t realize she was in the movie at all before the reveal, this kill count is when I found out 🫠 No idea how I could have missed it, she’s in like 4 scenes!
the fact that James is doing the scream recount just in time for scream 6, a literal king.
It’s called deals
Im definitely gonna see that in theaters.
6 was such a supreme disappointment.
@@blakeharris58it was one of the best what are you talking about?
@@blueflames9712Oh don't worry about him, he's just angry that stu ain't back.
I’m actually really glad that Cotton didn’t end up being a killer. Him being falsely accused and just kind of a weirdo is way better. He’s one of my favorite Scream characters.
Agree, I can kinda see the whole "falsely accused and now wants revenge" thing playing out in some narratives, but Cotton just... doesn't seem the type? He seems to understand that Sid was under a lot of stress considering what had happened and doesn't really hold it against her, though his time being incarcerated has certainly affected him, and he's - sorta understandably - desperate to get the word out that he's an innocent man.
You can tell he was traumatized by the entire situation, but is a legitimately good guy
Not only that, but him actually receiving acknowledgment at the end really made me smile. These movies are absolutelly brilliant
I totally agree. He doesn't need to be Ghostface and have his name drag through the mud again (with that time actually being his crime)
I'm also glad Derek ended up being innocent. I think Sidney's trust issues and internal conflict are way more profound this way than if he actually was one of the killers
“Climbed on stage like someone’s got her name in their fucking mouth” 😂 i dont know if that was James or Zoran but that was genius lol😂

One small touch I really like is that the Ghostface taunting Randy does so in a way that specifically hits his love of film and insecurities over his relationship to Sydney. Those two details are pretty good evidence that it's Mickey before we find out since we both see him in the film class with Randy and we know he is close enough to the group to have picked up on that detail. Genuinely a great clue that isn't super obvious.
I always thought it was Mrs. Loomis that actually kills Randy, at least her dialogue in the climax suggests this.
Mrs loomis literally says in the film that she got knife happy with Randy cause he was talking bad about her son. Did you even watch the movie?
@@angace1452 still could have told her about his insecurities to use it against him
@@connor_who that’s why I think so too because of her dialogue why would she say that and why would she that angry because at the same time he got killed right when he sat there and says I’m bad about Billy Loomis, so it makes sense for it to be the mother, because Mickey didn’t know him and he’s funny how he got killed right after he said that I mean personally I think that was just the people all that was possible that Mickey might called Randy and talking to him on the phone and that was Miss Loomis and did the kill is possible that you know maybe one was on the phone the other one did and overheard it or some like that I don’t know I mean maybe I don’t make sense but I am sorry I don’t care when anybody says I really do believe as Miss Loomis because she said in the climax and which makes sense because Mickey didn’t know Billy and he would’ve gone that angry when Randy said what he said about Billy so me and Mason was the mother why would Mickey get that angry I mean, Mickey could’ve fed Mrs. Loomis things and told her things you know and use that against him but you know that’s my opinion and I don’t care when he says, I still think it was Mrs. Loomis cause I would make more sense
Except it was Mrs Loomis who killed Randy
Jada’s death is absolutely terrifying. The people are totally over the top, no theatre would behave that way, but Jada plays it 100% straight and real. That always freaked me out as a kid and thinking about it now, it still does.
Given how several attendees were fake stabbing each other and the person who stabbed her had a Ghost Face mask on, they more than likely assumed it was an act, at first
I think in retrospect what they did with Mickey is pretty great, and he ranks as one of my favorite killers in the series. Not only is his motivation hauntingly realistic, but it’s his influence that continues to haunt Sidney throughout the rest of the series; it literally drives her to isolation. This actual psychopath was able to figure out who she was, infiltrate her friend group, and perfectly play the role of a close friend without ever breaking character. To me, that’s TERRIFYING
Couldn’t have said it better
most say, he's gotta point.
Way better in concept than execution, unfortunately. Poor pacing/him being a non-entity for the majority of the film really hurt any strong resonance he may have had. And I fucking love Olyphant. He's still a fun character, but I see A LOT of wasted potential. KZheadr Zach Cherry definitely agrees with you though, as I believe he said this verbatim lol
@@kavfulmer I disagree. A character doesn't have to show up every time the character turns around to be memorable
@Alden Domino Agreed! BUT a lot of people have said that while watching the TV they forget he's even a character until the end, so maybe it wouldn't have hurt showing him one more time or something
I adore the amount of research James and his team actually do for the kill counts. It gives me an insight into the BTS of the movies I adored when I was younger
It also amazing and inspirational when compared to some of his earlier stuff. XD I checked out Drunk Disney and they come off as super unlikeable in those!
Do you mean watching 1 documentary called still screaming. Yeah man sooo much research 😅
Strong comment 💪

Legit tho
Joel the cameraman needs to return to this series at some point. He was such a great character. "Yes, I got that on film!" 😂
I love how honest James is, even in a sponsored segment he is honest about how he doesn't really like the taste.
SomeMoreNews has Cody (or occasionally Katie) chug one; the disgust is palpable.
@@ryanhall7607 are you accusing Cody, of Cody’s Showdy, warner of the Boar apocalypse, of not loving that beverage he’s sponsored by?
Better than saying "tastes great" they losing his credibility when people try it.
because it'd be illegal for him to lie...
@@scarlmao it wouldn't be illegal, just unethical.
I still look back at his first kill count. James's level of poise and confidence as a presenter has grown exponentially.
He has honestly grown so much, and it's wonderful to see. It's also wonderful to see just how much the channel has grown too, in quality, content, everything really.
Hmm
They're almost at 6 million subs! They deserve every one of them
I think I will always be conflicted with my regards to Randy being killed off. On one hand, I get it. The stakes were tremendously risen and it got the desired reaction. On the other hand, was it too soon? There were still a lot of places the character could go. Kevin Williamson even said himself fairly recently.
I mean, it's easy to say so recently, when there are 6 movies. At the time, they didn't even know they'd have a third.
If he'd survived this film, they would've had to give him a romance with Sidney, I'm totally convinced of it. There's only so long you can carry on an unrequited crush story before it become tedious, and midway through Scream 2 was a good point to move on. If I were writing it, I would've had him survive the way Tatum did in 4, then have him be a major part of the production we see in 3. Give him a boost of confidence and a more take-life-by-the-horns attitude after a second near-death experience, which contrasts Sidney's self-isolation and fear caused by repeated traumas. Be clear that he's expressed his love for her in between films, but they're still just friends, though kind of in that almost-but-not-quite-dating phase. Sidney's still figuring things out and battling with trust issues. That kind of stuff is difficult to do properly, though, just as difficult as killing him off was. I think I lean towards the latter since we know they were able to pull it off in the end.
@@unknown_limes I don't think so. I think he could've just as easily gotten over her and just been a real friend with his own story arcs. Sad they didn't go that route. He was the most relatable character for most. I'm a girl and I still related to him more than any of the female characters in the first two movies.
"Since we can't bury more Barrymore" That is an amazing line.
Mathew Lillard being in the background of the party scene makes me want him to be in the new one even more 😂
He does always come back
I love how Zoran and Chelsea have started become much more reoccurring faces on the Kill Count in particular since I know Chelsea is the host of the podcast and cohost with James a bunch with other stuff but Zoran has started being in every kill count with cameos or for bits/ads. I also love the mentioning of other crew because everyone does such a good job.
I love them all, and I'm happy seeing more of them.
Not a fan personally. Shes seems super stuck up and lets be real shes only here because shes banging James. I can't respect that on any level.
I love how James absolutely despises the "I Think I Love You" scene but enthusiastically recreates it for his let's-get-to-the-numbers bit lol
I love the cafeteria scene, Sidney needed a spontaneous moment of joy that wasn’t trying to kill her, she needed a break, so i think the hate is undeserved
haha I like the scene too, it’s one of the very few wholesome moments we get to see for Sidney in the whole series tbh
Honestly I really wish it was just a nice, quiet, one on one heart to heart scene with her and the bf. Like less goofy and more emphasis on what a pillar of support he is for Sydney so it would be more impactful when he does get killed.
It was incredibly dorky, but love makes us all do incredibly dorky things sometimes. It was very human and embarrassing and wholesome and something they could've laughed about into their 80s... ouch, I just depressed myself.
Not only Randy foreshadowing the reveal, but the choice of Agamemnon as the play Sidney is in works as foreshadowing as well. The plot of the play is one of a mother seeking revenge for the death of a child. Great job as usual, James!
And Wes!

It makes sense that Jamie Kennedy randomly did the British voice. It was established during the fountain scene in part one that he enjoys deploying different accents sporadically when he does a Jerry Lewis one. Totally fits the character and as someone that does the same thing, makes me love the character even more.
"Did you really put her liver in the mailbox? Because I heard that they found her liver in the mailbox along with her spleen and pancreas".
Yes, exactly! It 100% fits his character and just made him more lovable. I do that too 😂
"One Olyphant in the room" line got me pretty good. Love the writing so much!
What I actually loved the most about this Kill Count was the references that James made to SMG's other roles. Such as saying that she got attacked by a killer with "Cruel Intentions" and then saying that she got "Scooby Doo cased" up the stairs. It's little things like that which prove that James really does know a lot about the movies and actors that he talks about.
He did the same with Timothy Oliphant!
Pretty sure he's got a writer who does that but I could be wrong
@@floop74 They have writers on staff but James is one of them
Scream 1, Scream 2, & Scream 4 are one of my favorite movie. Especially Scream 2. My favorite death scene is CiCi / Sarah Michelle Gellar. I can watch her death scene over and over again. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of my favorite show. I love the Scream VI trailer. Tara dangling over the balcony. My favorite shot of the trailer.
He also called her Daphine (spelling?) when she was thrown out the window.
"Are you trying to scare her off with noise?! She's not a bear!" Great line.

Love the shout out for the dog who hit his marks, he did a good job
Neve Campbell's performance in Scream 2 (specially her silent facial expressions full of emotions) is still some of the best acting I have ever seen!
To me I didn't know that Neve Campbell was flexible and a dancer.
Agreed here. It's understated how good she is in this role.
Liev being a proud father of his dog son nailing the scene is so dang wholesome
He's also 100% supportive of his son being gender-fluid with his appearance, he's just a great dude overall

What always bugged me about the Scream series is that Dewy doesn't seem phased by his sisters death
At least he knowledge to his sister death in scream 4 but it’s in deleted scene
It's sad, she is like acknowledge twice, a deleted scene in 4 and her ashes in 5.
Dewey completely dropped his head & look too cut up to talk about Tatum when Gale mentioned her during the death count recap right before Ghostface calls her & Randy takes the call, so they did acknowledge his grief. He looked like he was still too sad to even talk about it.
He didn't find out she IS dead in scream 1. And in scream 2 one year have pass. So after that we Just got some hints about his sadness about It, the most simbolic to me is when he sabes sam's yong sister in 5 when he couldn't save Tatum.
What I like is that Elise Neal and Duane Martin's adlibs and thoughts on their characters were heard. They really were my favorite characters in the movie
Joel is like that one guy that plays RPG video games who actually uses the Flee action, and doesn’t just try to tough out every fight and lose all of his resources
I think this is an impressive sequel based solely on the facts that it was made within a year, and it survived a leaked script online. Kudos to the cast & crew for what they accomplished!
True shame the script was leaked as I didn't really like this one but with all that in mind they did their best.
@@jackkrauss did they have to switch the script ? Or they just ran with it ?

@@jongon0848 it’s so awesome to see the behind the scenes relationships! I think James did a great job with this video!

Scream 2 is easily the best sequel in my opinion. The level of horror and comedy is perfectly balanced in this movie. It also retains the same feel as the original the best out of all the sequels, given it was made so soon after the first. Randy speaking in a British voice isn't all that odd when you compare it to the first one when he makes that voice when talking about the liver in the mailbox. It's just a quirk of his. And his misquote about the Aliens line I always just took as a joke. Like he was meaning to misquote for a laugh.

26:40 Hallie: What is he doing? Me: He's ruining the kill count. That's what he doing
That opening is crazy 💀 I remember seeing it when I was younger and scared out of my mind. I would cry every time it was in the screen 😂
liev schreiber’s dog being in the movie and him being so happy about it genuinely warmed my heart
I think the reason Mickey’s twist worked so well for me is because I’m such a big fan of Timothy Olyphant that I just didn’t want to believe he was the killer. Also his performance after the reveal is absolutely outstanding. I genuinely believe he’s the most dangerous killer in the franchise because he has nothing to lose, in his eyes
Yeah. Mickey was fantastic. While Billy messed with Sidney's emotions, Mickey messed with her head. He constantly sewed seeds of doubt in her mind about Derek. Scream 2 gets unfair hate for him "disappearing" for a lot of the film, but if you've watched all the films, the writers do it with so many characters. It really isn't uncommon for characters to disappear and then conveniently pop up after a character cool-down to make them seem suspicious. It's a BS nitpick when other entries get a free pass for similar a thing.
@@AdrianDiasZa I do think it’s valid, but it simply didn’t bother me. I just wanted Timothy to not be the villain so bad because I love him in almost everything he’s in. He gave me Cobb Vanth, who’s one of my favorite Star Wars characters ever. But I’m kinda happy he was the killer because his performance was fantastic
@@AdrianDiasZa plus it was gonna be Sidney's friend and her boyfriend with Billy's mom as the killers in the original draft that was leaked
In these film's I noticed they give us a "lay up" or easy killer and then a surprise twist killer. The first one Stew being an easy choice and Billy being the surprise only because we thought he was dead. In Scream 2, Mickey was the easy call because he disappeared halfway through the movie. I didn't suspect Mrs. Loomis though. I thought she would get killed.
timothy olyphant as mickey (and in general) is so campy it’s ridiculously good! he’s too underrated
(16:39) Why do I think that’s so funny? “The guy ain’t in the union no more.”😂
“We can’t bury more Barrymores”. Now that is just absolutely poetry.
I'll be honest, that single moment makes me love Liev Schreiber. I've always liked his work but his excitement that his dog got a walk on in the movie is adorable.
I wonder if he got a separate paycheck for the dog’s scene.
26:44 to 27:18 I can’t not express how funny and great that reference was And seeing both Chelsea and Zoran cameo just made it better. Every time they show up at the end or during a kill count , it’s fine so creatively and comedically .
Zoran gave him money too lol
The dollar part lol
Also love that Zoran drove there just to be in the bit 🤣
Scream 1, Scream 2, & Scream 4 are one of my favorite movie. Especially Scream 2. My favorite death scene is CiCi. I can watch that scene over and over again. I love the Scream VI trailer. Tara dangling over the edge of the balcony. My favorite scene in the trailer.
One of the best “To the Numbers” bits! I loved the look on Chelsea’s face as they were carrying James.
Chelsea's face when she realizes what she got herself into before the end had me cracking up. I love you guys! Keep up the great work.
Fun fact: My dad owns the mailbox that Patrick Dempsey stood next to on the set of Stab. That mailbox was also used in front of Sydney's real house in the original Scream. I believe you can see Courtney Cox in front of it in the original. (It is on a white wooden stand, the mailbox itself is black and has "Prescott" painted on both sides with the red flag on it.) Every time I see it I think of the Kill Count and how I saw it in the original Scream kill counts.
18:59 hahaha him saying ‚by Cab‘ had me laughing out loud haha the only guy thinking straight haha
11:49 "A killer with Cruel Intentions" "He Scooby-Doo chases her upstairs" HAH! Good one
16:32 I guess you could say OMG THEY KILLED KENNY!!
I love the character development that Gale goes through in the Scream series. At the end of the first one she was giving a news report on what happened at Stu's house, in this one she goes with Dewey to the hospital to be there for him. I understand why Wes Craven was angered by the script leaks, I also can't stand leaks on the internet and I never give those people attention.
The fact that Mickey made Sydney believe that Derek was the other ghostface was pretty genius. Mickey was a underrated Ghostface.

27:05 Chelsea’s dancing 😂😂😂
Some fun facts 1. Mickey is the first killer to both unmask himself in front of Sidney, and wear the Ghostface costume. 2. Although being the secondary antagonist, Mickey killed more people in Scream 2 since he was hired by Mrs. Loomis to execute the copycat killing spree. 3. Mrs. Loomis true forename Nancy is never mentioned on-screen, and is only revealed in the script for Scream 4 (2011), similar to other characters in the film franchise, such as Joel and Hoss. In the script, Kirby Reed must answer Stab trivia in a game to save Charlie's life. She mentions Debbie Salt/Nancy Loomis, on the 99th page of the script. 4. Nancy stabs Randy to death left-handed. This is another clue to her agenda in framing Mickey and escaping, as Mickey himself is left-handed, connecting him to the crime (and is mentioned as left-handed in a deleted scene). Even something as trivial as to the hand used to stab victims, which is noticed in an autopsy. After Cici's death, Nancy is seen writing with her right hand as the famous "Red Right Hand" song plays, a hint towards her role as framing Mickey in the killings. 5. Mrs. Loomis being the second killer was hinted the entire movie she only speaks to Gale, she never writes anything down, and she indicates the killer is from Woodsboro. 6. Sidneg continues to wear Derek Greek letters in his memory for several years, right until the climax of Scream 3 (2000). During the events of Scream 4 (2011), she is no longer in possession of the necklace she has finally moved on. 7. Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert (film critics) loved this movie. Siskel never gave good reviews to horror movies, particularly not slasher movies, and he criticized Scream (1996). Ebert almost never gave slasher movies good reviews. The fact that both of them liked this movie is a small miracle. 8. Before Randy is killed, the killer states that he won't "get the girl". Randy stated earlier in the film that if he could change something about the movies, it would be that "the Geek would get the girl," indicating that the killer must be a classmate of his. 9. Despite not being mentioned by name, Mickey's shadow looms over Sidney's life even in Scream 3. On the DVD commentary for Scream 2, Wes Craven revealed that Mickey was the reason that Sidney went into hiding during the events of Scream 3, as he had "(messed) with her head" to such an extreme degree. This is also likely because Mickey was a random psychopath who tracked her down and actually befriended her before killing her best friend, Hallie, and her boyfriend, Derek. Unlike Mrs. Loomis, who would have went after Sidney anyway due to a personal vendetta, the frightening prospect of more copycats like Mickey coming after her drove her into hiding. 10. Had the script not changed, Hallie would have been the first African-American Ghostface, a title that was given to Jamal Elliot from the third season of the television series. 11. The original script of Scream 2 said that Hallie was to be one of the murderers, along with Derek Feldman (who she was in a secret relationship with) and Nancy Loomis.
This was a great read! Thank you kindly!
this is a rare example of a sequel being rushed but not bad in ANY way, i love this movie and every time i watch it i get nostalgia from when i was little, watching it after school and loving that one scene where the mask is at the bottom of a pit in the theater later on when gale gets thrown down into the pit
It was done quickly but still done really well
idk if its intentional but at 20:56 James says "ooh baby that drivers batshit" when the pole goes into the guys head i think its funny because a similar death happens in baby driver and what he said is only a few words off being baby driver
*The singing scene was so cringe that I even skipped past your recreation. Which means you nailed it. Good job*
Scream 2 is phenomenal. We can see how everyone was invested in playing their roles more effectively than usual.
OMG! My dad was at the end of the movie! He was one of the extras that helped as a paramedic 😁 I always joke that it was his first film debut 😅
19:10 I fucking love that 😂
Something funny I remember as a kid was that I suspected mickey for some reason and really liked Mickey's line, "boyfriend, killer? Boyfriend, killer?" And laughed when at the way he said, "Billy's mother!"
This is, hands down, my favourite 'to the numbers' segment you've done lmao.
I go back to just watch the to the numbers bit for Gremlins 2
It was incredible 😂😂
@@stevejenks9940 same lol
It’s Zoran putting a dollar bill in his waist band. They really drove it home for me.
i saw this comment exactly when i hit this bit, perfect 😭
I can't wait to see James breakdown Scream 3 next week and explain why it goes from his least favourite to second favourite! I do love how opinions about films can change so drastically after each viewing.
Exactly... I still remember how he called that a "piece of trash" in his Scream ranking video years ago LMAO.
So weird, for most people Scream 2 is their favorite of the 5 and Scream 3 is their least favorite
Scream 3 was fucking terrible with it's alien-tech voice changer, alien-tech fax machine, and a killer who fakes his death for what reason?! LOL
@mofitud31 except it's now all more than possible thanks to ai, this movie will Finally be watchable without assholes being like "um actually that's dumb because those don't exist" I'm exited for new generation's watching scream 3 with no biases
@@moredumbtoit5325 Same, like, it's just a fucking movie. People can watch Star Wars movies that have warp drives and the Force, but they can't suspend their disbelief for a simple voice changer? People are dumb af lol
The "let's get to the numbers" part at the end was just plain genius
26:12 the paramedic wit the mustache, and short hair, helping Dewey in the ambulance, and is right behind courtney coxis, is my dad lol. That's his ambulance he would drive... and he's actually the one driving it away when they take off at the end.
The "to the numbers" bit is definitely one of my favorites, as well as this kill count/recount. Partially because it's scream, other parts because of the humor and references
Yeah, I wasn't expecting Zoran and Chelsea to join in on James's singing lol.
Where's the dead meat comments ?
I love that Scream 2 addresses the PTSD of the surviving characters. there's a certain atmosphere and palpable sense of impending doom maintained in the movie that's kinda missing in the subsequent sequels. I think that's what makes it my favorite in the franchise.
I LOVE THIS MAN'S TRANSITIONS TO THE NUMBERS OH MY GOD.
Fun fact: David Warner was originally meant to play Freddy Kreguer in the original "Nightmare on Elm Street" before they went with Robert Englund (who played the sympathetic alien from the original "V" franchise). Warner is also noteworthy for playing two different characters in two of the "STAR TREK" films: Federation Ambassador St. John Talbot in "STAR TREK 5" and Klingon Chancellor Gorkon in "STAR TREK 6", and similarly starred as two different characters in two films about the RMS Titanic: The historical 2nd Class passenger Lawrence Beesley in "S.O.S. TITANIC" and the fictional secondary villain Spicer Lovejoy in Jim Cameron's "TITANIC".
As I pointed out, knew him mainly as Lovejoy in Cameron's *_Titanic_*
Wes calling out the “fuckers” who leaked the original script may be my new favorite thing on the internet 😂
Really love Scream 2 for the representation! We get 4 black characters with fun and interesting personalities and memorable moments. Love the blacks in horror chat Maureen and Phil are having at the start. Halle has some funny and supportive moments as does Joel! Also the one redeeming thing about the cafeteria scene is Sid’s face. Just look at her and ignore the rest lol. She’s so damn happy and we never see her this expressively happy again. Loved seeing our girl get a moment of levity, love and laughter after what she’s been through❤
That’s such a good point about Sidney’s joy
I have watched this video probably a dozen times and I just now caught the Deadwood reference for Timothy Olyphant. This is why I love James's videos, always something new to make the viewing better
Thank you, I legit can't STAND the singing cafeteria scene. I'm tired of people saying it's good!
You easily deserve to hit 10 million subscribers just from this video alone James. The ending with Chelsea and Zoran was phenomenal but this video could potentially have my favourite line of yours of all time, when Sarah Michelle Gellar is being killed - "Daphne goes Splatne" Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Have a cigar.
I didn’t realize how much I’d miss Tatum as the series progressed.
Me too, I don't think they even mention her, you'd think Dewey and Sydney would mention their sister and best friend respectively
Me with Randy and (spoilers for 5 if you haven't seen it) Dewey now that 6 is coming out, they were my non-killer Scream boys 💔😭
She definitely feels like a character they wouldn't have killed off if they knew they would be getting sequels
I loved Derek’s musical number and I love how you replicated towards the end 😂
Love it about how he doesn’t over hype the product with sponsorships he’s honest. He says the taste is alright only saying he thinks it’s worth it due to the benefits
the more behind-the-scenes footage I see of Wes Craven, the more I'm convinced he would have been one of the best directors to work with
Being subscribed to Dead Meat really makes watching all of these Kill Counts videos worthwhile.
15:22 Neve Campbell's line delivery is really funny to me
