Meanwhile, would it had hurt them to add an extra slide for Omar Epps/Phillip Pavel/Christopher Doyle? I mean, they were all somewhat vital characters who died so it's almost like they're saying their deaths weren't important enough. I'm glad that Jamie Kennedy got upgraded to the main credits rather than the strange non-alphabetical order section that he was dumped in during the original's end credits. One last chance to go "awww" at their subsequent death. One last reminder of all the awesome actors and characters. For reason I get a real kick out of seeing these. There was not one at the end of Scream 4. The "return" of Ghostface in the credits has been taken by fans as meaning that he/she will be back. Like his own little ovation now that the curtain has closed. I like that the cinematographer gets the first credit title card after the screen goes to black. And even if Scream 4 didn't do the sort of business that everyone was hoping, the fact that so much press was made out of his return made me happy.
Says a lot about the impact these movies had, I say. I do still love that Kevin Williamson is perhaps the only horror film writer of the last few decades to actually be a name. I've said multiple times how wonderful and vivid the colours are in Scream 2, especially compared to the lower budget aesthetic of the original, so here is one last reminder.Ĭan we get a round of applause for Mr Craven and Mr Williamson, please? I think they deserved it after helping to bring the life one of the greatest ever sequels and one damn good film in general.
Scream 2 soundtrack by scene movie#
If they never made another Scream movie then this would have been a very fitting ending. Underwater ballet dancer putting on Ghostface mask!Ĭurious, too, that they chose a far more triumphant song choice to accompany the big end credits crane camera move, as opposed to the original which used a much darker track. The video is so deliciously '90s though that I have to love it. Using images of Neve Campbell's Sidney as they sing lyrics about "time isn't fair to a woman her age" and "she's seen better days" and you'll see how much they misread the lyrics. Anyone care to explain? Watch the video below, which features clips from Scream 2 interspersed. Now, what I don't understand is what a song about an aging lush is doing as the big triumphant end scene. I know ranking Collective Soul alongside The Eels is considered sacrilege by many, but I just like it, okay? Reminds me of that great alt-rock period of the 1990s.
Along with D'Angelo's "She's Always In My Hair" from the opening scene, and "Your Lucky Day in Hell" by The Eels, Collective Soul's "She Said" is definitely a keeper. Randomly, this song that plays over the beginning of the end credits is, much like in the original, one of my favourite songs from the whole soundtrack. In this project I attempt to review the entire Scream trilogy scene by scene in chronological order.
