The Scream franchise is as beloved as horror series come, but a prequel diving into how Billy and Stu started this murder spree could've been great.
The Big Picture Wes Craven’s Scream has become a staple in the horror genre. It not only revolutionized the horror-comedy sub-genre but also gave us a thrilling whodunnit and a new horror icon in the process. Its success, of course, went on to spawn a franchise, much like Craven’s most famous work, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Scream now has six movies under its belt, with a seventh underway.
A prequel could have shown how Billy came up with the plan to kill Maureen Prescott, and how Stu came on board to help him. Maybe it really was peer pressure, maybe Billy threatened him into it, or maybe Stu didn’t take much convincing at all. It would explain why he and Billy killed Casey Becker at the beginning of the movie since she was Stu’s girlfriend until she dumped him for Steve.
Not to mention it would have been fascinating to see the trial that followed Maureen’s death. We could’ve seen Sidney’s testimony, heard her detailed account of that night, and seen her pick out Cotton as the killer. We could’ve seen Cotton’s reaction to it all, and perhaps even Billy and Stu’s. We could’ve seen Gale Weathers’ visits with him that led to her adamantly believing he was innocent, as well as when she decided to write her book about the whole thing.
