Mackie Madison Finally Feels the Full Weight of Her Scream Scream Kills

McGee Madison finally comes to terms with what she did. A few years ago, this year's Oscar hopeful Anora as amber fifth scream Movie. In the sequel (simply titled scream), amber was eventually discovered to be Not just one of the two ghost-faced killersbut the person who killed Dewey was David Arquette's character in the original work scream. this is a big thingMadison didn’t quite understand this at the time.

“I have to be honest, when I was making this movie, and this sounds naive, I didn't realize the huge fan base that this series had, and I've been able to discover that now,” Madison said Tell Collider about Ladies Night. “scream Horror fans and people who love horror movies are the best people ever, but I was really naive going into this.

Only three characters from the original series – Sidney (Neve Campbell), Gale (Courteney Cox) and Dewey (Arquette) – survive. scream It was a huge surprise that the movie killed off someone so well. Dewey, in particular, was very influential. He is a character who is considered nearly invincible at this point, having survived various stabbings and other attacks. It is this quality that endears him to audiences. Fans of the trilogy were saddened by the loss, and apparently, some even blamed Madison.

“I remember being a little sad because I thought, 'Oh, what a great character. I would be sad to see him go. And then I realized that a lot of people were heartbroken,'” she said. “People come to me and they say, 'I hate that this happened. I'm mad at you. I say, 'I'm sorry, I didn't write the script! I didn't want to do this.

In our view, killing Dewey—or at least a legacy figure—must have occurred in scream The torch will be passed rightly to the new generation. Although it has been fumbled in some horrific ways ever since (Campbell exits part sixMelissa Barrera was fired from the seventh installment, etc.), upping the ante by killing off important characters was the right decision. We think this will happen again soon.

Madison is currently available in Anora;this scream Campbell and Cox return to co-star, Will be back next year.
