Death

Monday, October 29th, 2018

Avery was thrown over the balcony at the silent disco rave and was impaled by a spike upon landing. He is masked at the time of his fall and is later unmasked by Beth to the crowd where he is seen bleeding and convulsing until dying.

Trivia

• Avery is a high school student and the former quarterback for his football team (Weaver Reapers) at Weaver High School.
• He is a fierce rival of Marcus Elliot. Their rivalry can be seen as similar to Billy and Randy's rivalry.
• He is the second victim of Ghostface in Season 3, and the first to be killed in public.
• His death pays homage to the deaths of Cici Cooper, Tyson Fox, and Rebecca Walters from the films due to them also falling to their deaths, although his is the fourth public (after Scream 2, Scream 4, and Season 2) and the first to be impaled by a spike in the franchise.
• Although not in the opening (Deion Elliot was technically the first, but not counted seeing as he wasn't killed by Ghostface, thus making Tommy Jenkins the opening kill), Avery is the sixth male character in the franchise to be killed during the first few moments and onscreen after Steven Orth, Phil Stevens, and Cotton Weary in the films, with Jake Fitzgerald and Tommy Jenkins in the TV series.
• He is also the third male victim in the franchise which he is killed solo and not killed alongside anyone else, with the first being Jake Fitzgerald from Season 2 and the second being Tommy Jenkins this season.
• Despite the differences, Avery falling, getting impaled, ultimately dying in front of Beth and the public is likely an homage from the ending scene of the Season 2 episode "Happy Birthday to Me" where Brooke Maddox is ultimately shocked and covered in blood (just like Beth) after the corpse of her ex, Jake Fitzgerald, falls down in front of her while onstage, causing panic.
  • Avery's death would be an inverse and reverse of both Jake's death in Season 2 (seeing as Jake died before being dropped down onstage in front of Brooke), as well as Kenny Brown's death in the original Scream, as well as Derek Feldman in Scream 2.
• Avery's death by impalement, especially by a rather large object, but weapon overall, pays homage to the deaths of Quinn Maddox, Will Belmont, and Jake Fitzgerald from Season 1 and 2, as well as Amir Ayoub in this season.
• His death is also similar to Nina Patterson, Rachel Murray, Riley Marra, Clark Hudson, Seth Branson, Haley Meyers, Zoë Vaughn, and Eli Hudson from the first two seasons, as well as Casey Becker, Stu Macher, Maureen Evans, Mickey Altieri, Steven Stone, Jennifer Jolie, Olivia Morris, Trevor Sheldon, Robbie Mercer, Kate Roberts, Charlie Walker, Amber Freeman, Laura Crane, Wayne Bailey, and Ethan Landry from the films due to being hurt and being alive a few moments before quickly dying from their attacks by their killers.
• Avery calling Beth prior to his death and telling her how he has something he can "stick" to her face, would be similar to what Ethan Landry said about wanting to "stick something" to Tara Carpenter in Scream VI, with the roles reversed (due to Beth being Ghostface an Avery a victim, with Ethan being Ghostface and Tara an attempted victim).
  • Similarly, both male characters would be killed in front of each female character they harassed.
• His pretentiousness in seeming to "own" Liv and speak for her is similar to Rebecca Walters making decisions despite circumstances for Sidney Prescott in Scream 4, which results in the ending of each relationship which would later prove fatal for both rude characters, ironically.
• It was revealed that Avery had hooked up with Beth in their freshman year of high school, but he didn't call her back. This is loosely similar to Season 1 when Emma discovered Will slept with Nina after Brooke spilled the news to her, giving the impression that due to their bad actions and attachments to these people, they were on the list for the killer.
