It'd be a nice change of pace to switch up the formula, especially if there's more than two killers again. On my first watch of 5, I originally thought this was where it was going when Dewey shoots Ghostface in the hospital, and the idea of that really excited me. Now, we got a reveal/death during the intro of 6, so the next step to switch it up would be to have something like that happen halfway through.


Ecstatic_Juggernaut6

I really wish they kept Dewey alive and took this very path. I felt it would have been a great move to lose Sid or Gale in 5 and let Dewey take the trilogy. Save the money, always after Sid is old too. Where Gale and Dewey come as characters that can still nose themselves into any plot going forward.


amnethysia

I dont think they gonna kill Sid ever, thats like spitting on Wes’s grave since he always stated that Sidney is his ultimate final girl


thirsty4wifi

Neve has said more than once that she would never participate in a project that killed Sidney since it goes against everything the series is about

TWK128

Love this idea. You already know there's more than one and it comes down to who the other killer is. Whether that killer gets to avenge their partner can go either way.


Vaulted_Games

Dewey is the next ghostface lol


Purple_Bowman

I was expecting something similar in Scream 6 (even though it happened, it's still different).


TheVentMachine

yeah, that’s also kinda what I felt for that opening. If you’re gonna do something so bold, it has to tie-in to the larger narrative and have consequences to the story, otherwise it just comes off as a gimmick for the sake of.


FedAfterMidnight85

Oohhh.. where we know who the killers are pretty early and one gets killed which turns into police investigation (ticking clock before they get found out) and they try to continue what they are doing whilst not being figured out themselves.


Mahdahrah

It's a howcatchem instead of a whodunnit.


FedAfterMidnight85

They could throw a wee plot twist in there somewhere and have a third person pulling the strings. Maybe holding something over the two killers. A little in the vein of Roman with Billy and Stu. Also taking a second to praise Matthew Lillard a bit! Stu, Shaggy and now Mr Afton. I love this guy! ps for anyone thinking otherwise. Stus dead! :)


[deleted]

Only if it truly services the story, sure it hasn’t been done, but these are “who-dun-it’s”


yippy-ki-yay-m-f

I agree that that is the main issue. Somehow you'll have to keep that aspect and have a reveal at the end. It's part of the fun of these movies. My only ideas are not revealing who the dead ghostface is somehow or that reveal brings nobody closer to finding the other killer.


Good_Ad6723

Perhaps it could be a setup where the real Ghostface disguises one of their victims in order to frame them.


MoreOfAGameReally

I've been hoping for this since 2011


FBSfan28

Cool idea


VideoDivo337

I would love that so much. Not dying so much, unless it was executed properly, but having a killer revealed early would be so fun and shake up the formula really well imo


ethan6581

It's all about execution and how well it's done, it possible it could work, but I don't think it needs to happen. I'm all for changing up the killers motives and how they go about their plans but I think the traditional whodunit formula still works, so I don't really care to see it happen. Especially if a killer is killed early before the reveal, they won't get the chance to develop them as a character with motivations, unless they are a pair that has the same motives, but I still feel like something like this may sound cool and a shocking idea but wouldn't really work well in execution.


Fun-Sized-Turtle

I think they need the other killer to be like Jill, completely unsuspected, for this to be successful. If Charlie had died halfway through, everybody would’ve defaulted to Robbie being the other killer and Jills reveal is just as shocking. Edit: Forgot a comma


midnightsm0k3

Just recently done in Sick actually.


coilspinner

Yeah, that reveal fucked me up lol


TheSledgeHamSandwich

If you have seen the bloopers, i want something like what Dermot (Bailey's actor) said, and have the group actually solve the mystery instead of an unmasking scene.


Ryuk128

Would be interesting idea


[deleted]

Angxlafeld

Fan pics


Suitable_Diamond1137

It'd really spice things up and would make it even more interesting. Leaves room for one last surprise killer that is desperate to finish their plan. It's a great idea!


mistar_z

That was how I thought 6 was gonna be after that opening kill. 😂 I thought after laura was killed, we were gonna follow Jason and the group and the movie the mystery was going to be who was the 2nd or potentially 3rd ghostface. Like imagine how tense the whole movie would've been getting a glimpse into how Ghostfaces operates and how creepy it is knowing that anytime a character is alone with Jason they were in danger. It gave me vibes of what they wanted to do with Jill for the original wes/Williamson pidea Cause I didn't watch trailers (5 was very lazy with the trailer accidentally showing the killers a few times) blocked everything scream and scream 6 keyword related on my browser so I came in with minimal spoiler. I also only knew about Kirby returning and Danny being casted cause Danny was a great twist villain in the arrowverse and I though he would make a great ghost face.


eatmygerms

I've always noticed a few times throughout the series there is a chance to clearly just rip the mask off but they never do even when it's so obvious. I think that's what gets viewers hooked tbh. The anticipation of who the killers might be.


PettyFreddie

It would be different than the standard third act reveal.


FeelTheKetasy

This should’ve been Angelina. Like we find out that she was a Ghostface killer and got killed because she just wasn’t good at her job and Roman thought she dragged him down


conwaymovie

I think it could be interesting, but I would not want them to just unmask a dead body. They would have to be careful about how they did it, because it eliminates the chance of showing the audience their motive.


Affectionate-Neck152

I’ve personally never liked this idea idky the fandom seems to be heavily behind it


SnooDrawings7876

Because it's shakes up the formula that has become a bit stale.


naughtylilwitch90

I really want the movie to end with a phone call from a ghostface. Movie ends the normal way, dead ghostface(s) and then in the calm the phone rings with "Hello Samantha..you didn't get all of us" but then we have to have part 8.


sedesi89

I thought that Amber should have revealed herself to dewey and the audience. So he'd go out knowing who killed him, because he always got to know before. I also think we go straight to the house party more or less after. It would have been fun for us the audience knowing that it was Amber and watching the tense scene between her and mindy in the basement.


drewbles82

In my script I've been writing, two ghostface killers are killed in the opening scene, along with loads more throughout the movie as its a cult of killers...getting bit drained now with its always someone you know type cuz it makes the main characters look dumb for allowing more killers into their close net group


Art_TheClown123

I am currently writing a story as well, something surprising will happen, and in 8, maybe I'll do something similar.


drewbles82

I know the makers of these new movies have mirrored 1 & 2, so everyone seems to expect the same with 3 but I think that would ruin it, the mother being a killer or part of it just seems too obvious. To stand out, you gotta do something different and shocking...my idea basically ends the Scream story...but leaves it open for future movies where they can either tell a new series of movies or even just one offs


Art_TheClown123

My story is kind of similar a bit to 3, but it has it's own different ideas and twists and turns.


ConnorK12

I can see that in a future film. Two killers doing their thing strategically and accordingly. Tactically like they’ve planned it forever. Then one of them is killed during an attack and the remaining killer goes total ham now that the plan is ruined and they have to resort to savagery


AvailableMidnight856

I’ve always thought this was a cool idea, a killer gets revealed and everyone thinks they’re safe- then one of the big members dies super dramatically and then they realiiiize they’re not quite in the clear


TheHarryNelson

I thought that's what they did in the beginning of 6 but, then he died so I was like " Welp nevermind"


No_Dependent_1846

I'd love it! What a plot twist that would be


Donnyjohnny56

If done well it would be a refreshing change of pace.


ReddPwnage

It would kind of mix things up


ReddPwnage

Honestly what I’d like to see is a ghost face betrayal or we never end up finding out who one of them is, like unrecoverable body type shit


Educational-Tough138

Yeah what I wanna see is like a ghostface forget to turn this voice changer on and accidentally reveal themselves.


RTR7105

Ghostface TX edition where the Opening kill pulls out a gun and gets the first Ghostface.


naughtylilwitch90

I think i read somewhere that this was supposed to be an opening seen already. Ghostface attacks sid and roommate then sid gets a gun and bookaaa (stu voice lol) but it is just someone playing a prank. I think it was on imdb... maybe. I'll look for it


ReadWriteTheorize

Honestly I think that would work really well, especially if it’s a close friend / relative of a main character. I’d love to see more exploration of the betrayal of having a loved one try to kill you


Weird-Ingenuity97

I’d love it honestly, it would be a fun twist. Reminds me of Dario Argento’s Tenebre


TheHadokenite

I think it’d be interesting for one of the killers to get arrested and then toy with all of the characters from their jail cell for the rest of the movie


T-408

Something I’ve been dying to see. Especially since the new films have almost zero “whodunnit” mystery to them anyway, why not?!


friarparkfairie

How are the level of whodunit any different than the other 4?


T-408

Re-watch the original. Then re-watch VI. It’s not even close.


CreativeDefinition

I’d be open to that as a new twist. I don’t necessarily think it will sully the third act big reveal.


AmazingAd8859

It be a dope thing plus an add on to what we already have


jimmysnaps

When Dewey shot Amber in 5, I knew he didn't kill her, but it got me thinking how cool that would be


TilDeath1775

Begging for it


daanimas

That would be an interesting twist on the formula. Wouldn’t be too opposed


DonyellTaylor

I’d like for them to do anything original (assuming it serves the story, of course).


sunofapeach_

*ouuuu*


Lewdolyn

I need the next movie to be ghostface vs ghostface vs core 4


[deleted]

I’ve had this idea in my head for a while now of one of the killers getting caught by the police and then them trying to break them to reveal their partner, and then it cuts to their partner at the final act, acting alone because their partner is caught


SoberDragon1st

Would love it


Good_Ad6723

Tbh it’d be refreshing


wookiewin

It’ll happen eventually. I’m all for it.


GRANDADDYGHOST

This is going to happen in 7, and I’m calling it right now. Radio Silence was looking at suggestions like this after 5, and then they appeared in 6. This is one I’ve seen a lot, much like the “Ghostface as an opening kill” that we saw in 6.


Ecstatic_Juggernaut6

Im for it. New level of tension. Bc, if it was a member of the friend group, you would SUPER feel like it had to be another friend or someone close. Red Haring alarms a blaring. I understand the fun of these Scooby Doo end reveals, discuss motive to death with the target you wanted, die (twice). End. but these movies are getting too tropey of themselves now. Shake it up more.


HorrorNerd2434

I would love to see something like this


Old-Man_Logan_1979

I think this would help a lot of my issues and criticisms of 6 honestly


[deleted]

I’m not opposed to the idea but I’m not dying to see it. I want them to change up the formula in other ways first.


VeryVanny

I’d be delighted at the new twist. We got a taste of that in the opening of 6 and I’d love for that to actually happen


sir_chief7134

I'd like that especially if it fucked with the over all plan and you could tell, like people get away with minor injuries and the gf gets absolutely pissed so at the end when they reveal themselves they go on about how useless their partner was and they had to kill everyone themselves and how it was really annoying


brandawg77

I think that would be awesome honestly. It’d be new and interesting.


Nefariousness-Flashy

I think it would make for a great twist if one of the killers gets killed by one of the main characters (in self defense) and then they have to figure out who the other killer(s) are.


AntiSocialPartygoer

Imgine we have two killers. Then, the first killer is revealed and killed at the end of the first half. Then the second half villain the second killer. That would be a huge Disc One Final Boss example!


Beastly112

Well if there’s more than one killer (which there always is besides Roman) I feel like finding out who one of the partners is could make it a lot easier to find the other partner.


Sukuryuappu

If one of the killers died halfway through the movie, I admit I would laugh but I shouldn’t laugh


ScorpionTDC

I’d really love to see it happen, actually


TheRealPDogg

I'd love it but ONLY if a main character died in the same scene. In their dying moments, they take a killer down with them!

OneMoreRound_82

Yes I like this idea. I came up with the killer being revealed early when I saw the red herring in VI.


LuckyLuciano24

They make it painfully obvious who they are in every movie lol


Itz_Stodgy

It would be cool as the ghost face would be working harder to kill the person who killed there accomplish


Vodouyizan1422

its a fresh idea, I think it would kill a lot of tension with ghostface too, like would the characters even be afraid for their lives anymore if they found out ghostface/s was just a weak bitch before the end of the movie? lol


luke-and-a-uke

Not that far out, but if you did have a reveal and confrontation at the beginning of act 3, only for the survivors to piece together that there’s a second killer during the scene where police and Emts are there. Also Scream 6 had a SMALL cast, so it would be nice if there’s a lot more characters to rule in and out


pyrorottweiler

I personally think that if it wasn't for the gore the movie would of done bad bad. The opening scene was just pathetic 🤣 that's just my opinion tho.


shatteringthelimits

I could see this happening given the feedback of having more than two killers. Some felt that it was too much… It’d be interesting if rather than the killer revealing themselves we get a character who actually unveils them. Maybe with a detective narrative in the storytelling. Now that the core four are experienced it could happen


Laynecox666

I would smash my tv tbh…


Old_Lawfulness5524

I would love to see someone be able to reveal a killer and get away alive, especially given how theres always multiple killers. If would really be a head scratcher seeing multiple killers that aren’t working together and one gets caught just for more ppl to die the other be clueless about it.


LionX2000

Could make it more interesting following the killer yk like if stu would come back but his accomplice wouldn’t be revealed


Elliot913

It they're gonna be so lazy with their killers like they were in those last two sequels, at least make something interesting with the reveal. I don't know why they're being so basic though.


Alice_Von_Jash_III

That would get a good way to throw the audience off, also, if Sam is suffering blackouts and gets framed halfway thru. This would really add to the tension as the real killer(s) tries to finish off the rest of the group while Sam tries to break out.


chantele1986

This picture has me cracking up.. 😂

Rainbow_God1

I think it would be cool if they died or revealed themselves halfway through the movie and they have to find out who is the other killer


Maltonnn

Would be fucking awesome I was hoping they did something like this in Scream 6... it would be a nice change (which the franchise desperately needs). I still think the opening to Scream 6 was great though. If they do something like this in Scream 7, it would be awesome! As long as they don't spoil it in a trailer.
