Notable Scream Characters

Scream

Scream is one of the most well-known horror franchises of all time. It made stars out of Courteney Cox and Neve Campbell and continues, even after the passing of director Wes Craven. With the success of the most recent film, Scream VI, we thought we’d go over some of the more notable characters.

We’ve not seen the films, but we know enough to be able to talk about them. We will only list the most recognisable characters, so don’t expect much information.

Scream Character Deaths Quick Note

While the early deaths of Scream characters were original, the new films harken back to some original murders. For instance, the death of Ethan Landry in Scream 6 was a nod to the death of Stu Mercer, who had a television dropped on his head in the original film.
