I loved that the original screenwriter came back for the new wave of Scream movies

The rebirth, isolation, and how GoodStab is stumbling along trying to figure things out reminds me of Frankenstein and I’m really enjoying it

“I was forgetting how many days were passing. It was all one long night.”

“To be a Pikuni and be alone is to not be a person anymore.”

“I’ve heard our elders and many-faces men and even chiefs say that it’s napikwans who are ruining the world, but napikawns are just what happens when we forget we’re Pikuni.”

“Pikuni fight even when the fight’s over.”

“The depravity of man’s heart knows no floor.”

I really loved chapter 15 which was all about Wes Craven. Such a kind soul who really never quite understood how much he meant to the genre or how much he changed horror filmmaking

“A rolled-up body. Broken, bloodied, mangled. A man who could never hurt a woman again.”

Everyone thought Scream 3 was the end of the franchise and then 10 years later…Scream 4 😄

I had no idea that Danny Elfman worked on Scream 2

“A witch hunt rarely claimed just one victim.”

El bacá - a Haitian spirit that only Haitians can summon and dismiss

Drew Barrymore was originally playing Sidney but she told Wes Craven she thought it would be a shock to audience if she died first, as Casey Becker. He loved the idea

“Confess your sins, or I will confess for you.”

“there is no satisfaction in dealing with the devil, only damnation.”

Wes Craven believed fear and horror were rites of passage

“Demons are crafty.”

Papi Roman used to be a pastor in the Dominican Republic. Not just a pastor—he was an exorcist, a traveling one

“immense change unsettled [Xiomara]. She learned this when she got an official autism diagnosis…once she came to terms with it, change became manageable.”

She didn’t have to like change—she just had to acknowledge it

Family gathers for a reading of Papi Ramon’s will

“In other countries, especially white people lands, the government paid for childcare, even covered the nanny. They recognized that a woman couldn’t get a lick of work done otherwise, and I think that’s why America doesn’t pay. It’s punishment for white women leaving the dollhouse. For everyone else leaving the fields.”

Bless learns the truth about Mrs. Gibson, the kidnappings, and what her friends plan to do with her

Bless haunted by a photograph of a woman with an increasing number of children pictured each time the frame represents itself

“I’ve been to jail as a whore, a bitch, and a witchy lunatic, but this was my first time going as a queen.”

“I am not a cheat because I am owed…If law enforcement had its way, I’d still be in the fields. So yeah. Fuck that.

White people took Lottie’s racial ambiguity as a “personal affront”

“Powerful white men like to conduct interviews from their big ole chairs and say how children are precious. But if they meant it, they’d be happy to pay when a mother is wounded after birth. They would leap at the chance to ensure children lived in nice homes with running water and electricity…they would prosecute all those mobs who threw bottles when brown students walked into school.”

Lottie Turner carved out her “own deliverance, not waiting for a welcome that would never come.”

Salt and iron to trap demonic spirits
