Steve was the first character to fall victim to the first Ghostface killing spree during the events of Scream.

History

Scream

When Steve went to visit Casey at her house to watch an unspecified horror movie together, he was ambushed by Stu Macher and Billy Loomis disguised in Ghostface costumes, he was then gagged and ducktaped to a deck chair on the patio at the back of Casey's home.

Ghostface forced Casey to answer trivia questions about scary movies, with Steve's fate depending entirely on her answers, with Ghostface claiming the rules being that if Casey answers the questions correctly, Steve lives, but if she gets any of them wrong, he dies. One question being on Halloween for a warm-up question, then one question for Steve's life on Friday the 13th. which was a trick question; Steve was then disembowled from behind when Casey answered the second question incorrectly; however, it is possible that Ghostface would have murdered Steve regardless of what Casey's answer to the Friday the 13th question was.

It is later implied that the reason Casey and Steve were chosen to be victims was because Casey dumped Stu for Steve.

Scream 2

Two years later, during the events of the second movie, a Windsor College senior called Phil Stevens was murdered during the second Ghostface killing spree simply due to having a family name that beared a close resemblance to Steve's first name, this was later discovered by Chief Louis Hartley, Former Woodsboro Deputy Dewey Riley and reporter Gale Weathers during their line of work.

Notes

  • He was described as "a big, line backer of a guy" in the script.
  • There was some confusion over Steve's family name because television reporter, Jenna Welles, stated that Steve's last name was 'Orth' while Tatum Riley clearly refers to Steve as 'Steve Forest' and her friend Sidney Prescott does not correct her. However, Steve's last name was confirmed to be Orth when Gale refers to him by that family name in Scream 2.
  • Kevin Patrick Walls was a close contender to play Billy. He was so well-liked that he was given the role of Steve.
  • Even though Steve is only heard to be stabbed once, his torso is immediately mutilated and hallowed right after the first stab.
  • In a deleted scene from Scream 4, opening scene victim Jenny Randall was seen tied to a chair and gutted in a very similar way to Steve. The killers in Scream 4 were probably trying to recreate the Woodsboro Massacre.
