The first film of the Scream franchise came out in 1996, and since then it has ruled the slasher horror genre. The latest one came out this year, and it was not any less scary than the first film. The early Scream movies focused on a killer in Woodsboro, known as Ghostface who terrorized the people in the town. The new movie moves to the next generation set twenty-five years after the killing spree Billy Loomis and Stu Matcher went on. Ghostface’s identity is revealed at the end of every movie. And it is always someone connected to the lead characters. All of us remember seeing stars Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, Street Ulrich, and Emma Roberts. But we do not remember a lot of other actors that were a part of the Scream movies.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Best known for her role in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar had played a role in Scream 2. Though most people forgot, the actress played Cici in the second installment of Scream movies. Cici was one of the first people to be killed in the movie. It was because her real name was Casey, similar to Casey Becker, a victim in the first film.
Rose McGowan
Only true fans of the franchise would remember that Rose McGowan was a part of Scream movies. In fact, the actress had quite an important role in Scream 1. She played Tatum, one of the popular girls in the High School Sidney Prescott attended. Tatum was the best friend of Sidney. Her murder in the garage by Ghostface is one of the most unique death scenes in the movie.
Henry Winkler
Remembered for the roles he played in Happy Days and The Waterboy, Henry Winkler was a part of Hollywood since the 1970s. But very few people remember him for the role he played in one of the Scream movies. He played the role of the principal of Sidney’s HighSchool. Principal Himbry played an important role in trying to find the killer before he himself was killed by Ghostface.
Linda Blair
A true horror movies fan knows that Linda Blair is an iconic name in the genre. She has played roles in movies like The Exorcist and hosted a show called The Scariest Places on Earth. But Linda Blair was also a part of one of the Scream movies. She did a cameo role in the first film of the franchise. She played the annoying reporter who was forcing Sidney to give a statement on the murders.
Jenny McCarthy
Known as an actress and TV host, Jenny McCarthy started her Hollywood journey in the 1990s. But back when she was a fresh face in Hollywood, the actress appeared in one of the Scream movies. She portrayed Sarah Darling in Scream 3. Sarah was cast in a fictional film Stab 3, but her dream of becoming an actress ended before it began, as she was killed by Ghostface.
Jay and Silent Bob
One of the most unique cameos to ever happen in Scream movies was this one. The actors Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes reprised the classic roles of Jay and Bob Silent in Scream 3. They are seen as tourists wandering around Sunrise Studios. But the connection between the two doesn’t end here. In Jay and Bob Silent Strike Back, there was a reference to Scream 4.
