User blog:Gothamlover/Who Killed Who in SCREAM (my thoughts)

It's a mystery as old as the film itself as to who was behind the Ghostface mask at specific points in Scream. I've pondered and theorised for years, and now I want to share my opinions with you.

KILLING METHOD

Each killer in the series has his/her own method of killing. This ranges from the amount of stabs to the way they hold the weapon, and can help distinguish who is in the mask at certain times.

Billy Loomis.

Billy preferred to stab his victims multiple times, as seen at the end of the movie with Stu. He typically held his knife in with one hand arched above his head. He was a somewhat precise Ghostface and also grabbed or choked his victims.

Stu Macher.

As opposed to his partner, Stu was clumsy and jokester-like in the costume. He held his knife with both hands above his head, and usually stabbed once,often in a slashing/slicing pattern. As a side note, Stu was the Ghostface that popularized the knife wiping trick.

BEHIND THE MASK

Steve's Murder: Billy called Casey, quizzing her on horror movie trivia, which is more in his character. Stu gutted Steve, because later he likes to explain how to gut someone.

Casey's Murder: Billy murdered her. Ghostface raises his knife in the same way that Billy does at the end of the movie. Casey's reaction still makes sense, because she probably did know Billy.

Sidney's House Attack: Again, Billy called her, and Stu broke in and chased her. He acts silly like Stu, and Billy arrives really quickly through the window, so he couldn't have been in the costume.

Call at Tatum's House: Obviously Stu. He called to clear Billy for the murders.

Sidney's Bathroom Attack: Stu. It seems to extreme to be a prank, and Billy was outside the toilet.

Principal Himbry's Murder: I believe that Billy killed him. His whereabouts were unknown at the time. Stu was seen turning back to the school, so he could have met up with Billy at the goal posts, gutted Himbry and they both hang him.

Stalking Sidney: I can only assume that it was Stu. He seemed to enjoy flaunting the fact that he was a killer, so running around town in a big ghost costume doesn't seem too far fetched.

Tatum's Murder: Stu. He acts silly like at Sid's house, when we know it was Stu. Billy's nod to Stu at the front door doesn't necessarily mean that he killed Tatum, it might just have meant that the final act was begging, or possibly he checked that Tatum was indeed dead.

Billy's Fake Murder: I'm not too sure about this one.

Behind Randy: Stu. It doesn't make sense that Billy would stop playing dead and don the Ghostface costume, and the killer holds the knife like Stu.

Kenny's Murder: It was still Stu under the mask when he ran out and killed the poor bastard.

Stabbing Dewey and Chasing Sid: Stu. Dewey was only stabbed once, and Billy stabs multiple times. Again, I can't imagine Billy running around when he's supposed to be dead.

And that's it folks. This is just my theories, and feel free to share yours :)
