Story:

Slasher horror sequel directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. Scream VI (2023) continues with the survivors of the latest Ghostface killings, sisters Samantha and Tara Carpenter (Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega), and twins Chad and Mindy Meeks (Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding), leaving Woodsboro behind for a fresh chapter in New York City, only to again be plagued by a streak of murders by a new Ghostface killer.

 

Best Quotes


 

Laura Crane: [over phone] Try teaching a class on 20th century slashers to a heap of hungover nineteen year-olds.
Jason Carvey: Slashers, huh? What’s your favorite scary movie?
Laura Crane: Not that one.


 

Jason Carvey: [over phone] So why slashers?
Laura Crane: Well, I just, you know, I think it’s interesting. You can really examine the culture of the moment by looking at the tropes of the time. Like the masked killer, the final girl, the different rules. Don’t split up. Don’t have sex.
Jason Carvey: Don’t answer the phone.
Laura Crane: Exactly, exactly, exactly. It’s all cliché. But out of those clichés comes an opportunity for outsider art. A voice for the voiceless, you might say. Jesus Christ.
Jason Carvey: Yeah. I’m more of a rom-com guy, to be honest.


 

Ghostface: [Jason’s voice changes] And that’s not the worst part. The worst part is, you teach a class about slashers, and you still walked into a dark alley. Alone.
Laura Crane: Okay, that’s not funny.
Ghostface: No. It’s not.
[Laura is then attacked and stabbed by Ghostface]


 

Ghostface: [as he kills Laura] Now I see something red.


 

Jason Carvey: [referring to killing Laura] I just got massive blue balls, and I had to practice. Please don’t be mad. How mad are you?
Ghostface: Oh, I’m not mad, Jason.
Jason Carvey: Dude. We said we wouldn’t use the voice on each other.
Ghostface: We said a lot of things.
Jason Carvey: This is Greg, right?
Ghostface: Who else would it be?


 

Ghostface: [referring to Laura] But she wasn’t just meat, Jason. She was a person. Our film professor.
Jason Carvey: Yeah, well. F*** her. She gave me a C-minus on my giallo paper.
Ghostface: Is that why you killed her? Because of the C-minus? Who’s next, your grade-school vice principal?


 

Jason Carvey: [as he’s being stabbed] But we have to finish the movie.
Ghostface: Who gives a f*** about movies?


 

Sam Carpenter: My father was Billy Loomis. He was a famous serial killer. They made a movie about him.
Dr. Christopher Stone: Yeah. Certainly did.


 

Dr. Christopher Stone: [referring to Richie] How did you stop him?
Sam Carpenter: Well, I stabbed him twenty-two times and slit his throat. And then I shot him in the head. But that’s not why I’m here.
Dr. Christopher Stone: Why are you here?
Sam Carpenter: Because it felt right.

Quinn Bailey: Life, I have found, is about variety.


 

Quinn Bailey: [as Sam is checking out a shirtless Danny through his apartment window] You guys have been checking each other out for months. Why don’t you just talk to him?
Sam Carpenter: Because that right there is about all the romantic interaction I’m ready for.


 

Anika Kayoko: It doesn’t bother you? I mean, being at a house party after you were almost brutally murdered at a house party?
Mindy Meeks-Martin: No, I think of it like being struck by lightning. The odds of it happening twice to the same person are extremely low.
Anika Kayoko: Guess I should stay close to you then.


 

Sam Carpenter: [to Frankie, as he’s fighting with Chad] Sorry to interrupt. I’m just going to tase you in the balls real quick.


 

Tara Carpenter: [to Sam] If I want to hook up with an a**hole, that’s my decision! It’s my decision. It’s not about you!

 

'Franchises only survive by subverting expectations.' - Mindy Meeks-Martin (Scream VI) Click To Tweet

 

Tara Carpenter: I’m uninterested in living in the past like you are.
Sam Carpenter: What’s that supposed to mean?
Tara Carpenter: It means I’m not going to let what happened to us for three days define the rest of my life.
Sam Carpenter: So you’re just going to pretend it never happened.


 

Tara Carpenter: You just followed me here, and you won’t let me out of your sight.
Sam Carpenter: I’m just trying to look out for you.
Tara Carpenter: I know. I know you are. You can’t do it for the rest of my life though. You have to let me go.


 

Chad Meeks-Martin: [to Tara] Survivors got to stick together.


 

Sam Carpenter: [as they are kissing] Careful. Someone might see us.
Danny Brackett: You always say the most romantic things.
Sam Carpenter: Danny.
Danny Brackett: What? Can I help it if my kink is “woman who’s ashamed to be seen with me”?

 

'You can still make your own family. Even if it's just with one person.' - Gale Weathers (Scream VI) Click To Tweet

 

TV Reporter: Also found at the scene were various Ghostface costumes, a character popularized by the Stab movie franchise.
Sam Carpenter: Pack a bag. We leave in ten.
Tara Carpenter: Sam! Wait, Sam!
Sam Carpenter: We’re getting out of the city.
Danny Brackett: What?


 

Tara Carpenter: It’s big city! It’s Halloween. Everybody’s wearing masks! You don’t know.
Sam Carpenter: Tara, this isn’t a coincidence. You knew him!
Tara Carpenter: Barely.
Sam Carpenter: Chad, Mindy, back me up.
Chad Meeks-Martin: I mean, it is a little bit…
Mindy Meeks-Martin: Close to home.


 

Sam Carpenter: Who is this?
Ghostface: Hello, Samantha. Did you miss me?
Sam Carpenter: I want you to think long and hard about whether you really want to do this. Because the last two people that f***ed with us, ended up dead.


 

Detective Bailey: Do either of you have anyone that might want to target you?
Tara Carpenter: Not anyone who’s still alive.
Detective Bailey: Yikes.


 

Kirby Reed: I take a special interest in Ghostface attacks.

 

'Whenever someone says, “We're safe here,” it means you're not.' - Billy Loomis (Scream VI) Click To Tweet

 

Kirby Reed: This is a student of the killers who came before.


 

Gale Weathers: Gale Weathers, Channel 4. Do you ladies think you’re the reason the Ghostface killer has come to the Big Apple?
Gale Weathers: [moves aside as Sam tries to punch her in the face] Nice try, sweetie. But I’ve done this dance before.
[Tara then punches her in the face]


 

Gale Weathers: Are you really still mad at me?
Sam Carpenter: You said you wouldn’t write a book about what happened. And then you wrote a book about what happened.
Gale Weathers: Oh, come on. Somebody was going to write about it! It’s what I do.


 

Sam Carpenter: After everything we went through together. What would Dewey think?
Gale Weathers: That’s a low blow.
Sam Carpenter: So is your book. You called me “unstable” and a “born killer”.
Gale Weathers: That’s taken out of context.
Sam Carpenter: That’s literally a quote.

 

'All the best lies are based on the truth.' - Detective Bailey (Scream VI) Click To Tweet

 

Gale Weathers: [referring to Sidney] She sends her love, but she’s taking Mark and the kids someplace safe. She deserves to have her happy ending.
Sam Carpenter: On that much, we agree.


 

Gale Weathers: Hey, I want to catch this f***er as much as you do!
Tara Carpenter: Maybe. Or maybe you’re just afraid that without Ghostface in your life, you’re going to fade away.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: The way I see it, someone is out to make a sequel to the requel.
Anika Kayoko: What’s a requel?

 

'Not every movie needs a post-credit scene.' - Mindy Meeks-Martin (Scream VI) Click To Tweet

 

Tara Carpenter: So we think that the killer is trying to copy the movies?
Mindy Meeks-Martin: That is one possibility. Heroes now in college, check. Suspicious new characters brought in to round out the suspect list and, or body count. Check, check, and check.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: It would make sense if this were just a sequel. But we’re not in a sequel, because nobody just makes sequels anymore. We’re in a franchise! And there are certain rules to a continuing franchise.
Sam Carpenter: I had a feeling.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: Rule one. Everything is bigger than last time. Bigger budget, bigger cast, bigger body count. Longer chases, shoot-outs, beheadings. You got to top what came before to keep people coming back.
Chad Meeks-Martin: Beheadings?


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: Rule two. Whatever happened last time, expect the opposite. Franchises only survive by subverting expectations. If the killers last time were whiny snowflake film nerds with Letterboxd accounts instead of personalities, you can bet the opposite will be true here.

Mindy Meeks-Martin: And rule three, no one is safe. Legacy characters? Cannon fodder at this point. Usually brought back only to be killed off in some cheap bid for nostalgia. It’s not looking too good for Gale and Kirby.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: The worst part is franchises are just continuing episodic installments designed to boost an IP. Which means main characters are completely expendable now too.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: Laurie Strode, Nancy Thompson, Ellen Ripley, Sally Hardesty, Jigsaw, Tony Stark, James Bond. I mean, even Luke Skywalker, all died so their franchises could live on. That means it’s not just the friend group. Any of us could go at any time, especially Sam and Tara.


 

Ethan Landry: Am I going to die a virgin?
Mindy Meeks-Martin: That was a weird overshare. But it brings us to our current suspects. Ethan. The shy, dorky guy who no one suspects because he’s so shy and dorky.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: Quinn. The slutty roommate. A horror movie classic.
Quinn Bailey: “Sex positive”, but thank you?


 

Tara Carpenter: [referring to Quinn] And you know we vetted her. Plus her dad is a cop.
Mindy Meeks-Martin: And that makes it more likely that she’s the killer, because having a cop dad is a great cover. Do you not remember how these movies work, Tara?
Quinn Bailey: Is she always like this?


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: And finally, Anika. Never trust the love interest.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: I mean, I think it’s pretty safe to rule out the four of us who went through this last year in Woodsboro.
Chad Meeks-Martin: Agreed.
Quinn Bailey: Not agreed. What if the trauma you all went through caused one or more of you to snap?
Ethan Landry: Yeah, or the fame you got from the killings made you thirsty for more.


 

Anika Kayoko: [to the core four] I mean, face facts, if we’re all suspects, you’re all suspects.


 

Kirby Reed: It’s like he’s leaving us real-life franchise Easter eggs. Like dropping the killers masks in reverse. Almost like he’s counting down to something.
Detective Bailey: What happens when he gets to one?


 

Detective Bailey: Well, whoever’s doing this is leading us back to Sam.


 

Kirby Reed: Proximity to the Carpenters is proximity to Ghostface.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: [as Tara and Chad are talking] Will you two just make out already?
Chad Meeks-Martin: Jeez, Mindy. That is so inappropriate, dude.
Mindy Meeks-Martin: Oh, whatever. Get it over with!


 

Chad Meeks-Martin: This’ll be so fun. A little slumber party with the Core Four!
Sam Carpenter: “Core Four”?
Chad Meeks-Martin: Yeah.
Tara Carpenter: Did you give us a nickname?
Chad Meeks-Martin: I sure did. I mean, we’ve been through a lot together, and it’s a pretty cool nickname.
Sam Carpenter: That’s debatable.
Tara Carpenter: It’s extremely debatable.


 

Sam Carpenter: And I know I shouldn’t care what people think. It just sucks being this hated.


 

Chad Meeks-Martin: But, I mean, we moved here together for one very specific reason. We are a team.
Mindy Meeks-Martin: We are the Core F***ing Four.
Chad Meeks-Martin: Thank you very much.
Mindy Meeks-Martin: Ah, I hate myself.
Tara Carpenter: You said it.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: [after Anika’s been stabbed] She’s losing a lot of blood!
Anika Kayoko: Say something more positive!


 

Danny Brackett: This isn’t your fault, Sam.
Sam Carpenter: But it is. Someone took our knives, so we couldn’t fight back. I don’t know who I can trust.
Danny Brackett: Then don’t trust anyone. Not your friends. Not me. Not anyone.


 

Detective Bailey: Both my kids are gone. My whole family is gone. They took me off the case. But I’m not going to stop until I find him. You f*** with my family, you die.
Sam Carpenter: Agreed.


 

Tara Carpenter: I’m sorry I punched you.
Gale Weathers: No, you’re not.
Tara Carpenter: I’m not.


 

Sam Carpenter: She’s with the FBI.
Gale Weathers: She’s a child. When did they start letting children into the FBI?
Kirby Reed: I’m thirty.
Gale Weathers: Well, you look like a zygote.


 

Kirby Reed: [referring to the movie theater] How did you find it?
Gale Weathers: It’s called “investigative journalism” for a reason.


 

Tara Carpenter: It’s a movie theater.
Gale Weathers: It’s not just a theater. It’s a shrine.
Mindy Meeks-Martin: They’ve got the whole goddamn franchise.


 

Billy Loomis: [as Sam has a vision of him] Hot damn! How f***ing cool is this place?
Sam Carpenter: F***, no.
Billy Loomis: F***, yes. Come on, Sam You got to be excited to get our murder on again. Together. Billy and Sam. Team Loomis. Get ready to slice up more m**herf***ers.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: If this were a normal Stab movie, this would be the killer’s lair.
Kirby Reed: Which means this isn’t a normal Stab movie.


 

Kirby Reed: I hear you’re a horror fan.
Mindy Meeks-Martin: It’s been said.


 

Kirby Reed: Best Nightmare on Elm Street?
Mindy, Kirby: The original.
Kirby Reed: Best Friday the 13th?
Mindy Meeks-Martin: Part II.
Kirby Reed: The Final Chapter. Had a crush on Corey Feldman.
Mindy Meeks-Martin: Okay. Respect.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: Psycho II is…
Kirby, Mindy: Underrated.
Kirby Reed: Candyman. The original or requel?
Mindy, Kirby: Both.
Mindy Meeks-Martin: Okay. Okay. Game recognize game.


 

Tara Carpenter: I don’t want to be a part of this. I don’t want to be a part of some stupid legacy because I’m…
Sam Carpenter: Because of me.


 

Gale Weathers: But you can still make your own family. Even if it’s just with one person.
Sam Carpenter: And if you lose that one person?
Gale Weathers: You just, you keep going. And maybe you find another loner, and you look after each other.


 

Kirby Reed: I almost died after I was stabbed. Technically, I did die. For four minutes. When I recovered, I got mad. I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life being afraid of monsters. I wanted the monsters to be afraid of me.


 

Sam Carpenter: Should we use the sirens?
Tara Carpenter: Did you really think we’re going to steal a police car and not use the sirens?


 

Ghostface: Hello, Gale. Strange that you and I have never spoken on the phone. This is long overdue.
Gale Weathers: I agree.


 

Gale Weathers: So, what’s your motive this time? You angry at the movies, or you just trying to stay relevant?
Ghostface: I could ask you the same. Don’t you know the legacy charactersare disposable now? Nobody cares about last century’s heroes.
Gale Weathers: Then why bother with me at all?
Ghostface: Call it nostalgia.


 

Gale Weathers: You know you’re like the tenth guy to try this, right? And spoiler alert, it never works out for the dips**t in the mask.
Ghostface: Oh, but they certainly leave a mark before they go, don’t they?


 

Ghostface: [referring to Dewey] How does it feel to lose the only man who ever loved you?
Gale Weathers: F*** you!


 

Gale Weathers: You’re the one who’s going to die screaming.
Ghostface: Maybe. But you won’t be around to see it.


 

Gale Weathers: [as she shoots at Ghostface] How’s that for nostalgia, f***er?


 

Ghostface: You would’ve made a good killer, Gale. Sidney never would’ve made sense, and Dewey was the fan favorite. But you cracking under the pressure and turning into Ghostface would’ve been a great twist.


 

Ghostface: You never got to be the leading lady, did you? It was always all about poor sweet Sidney, sucking up all the oxygen. What did that leave you to be?
Gale Weathers: The brains and the sex appeal.


 

Ghostface: Sorry about your boyfriend. All those muscles didn’t help much.
Gale Weathers: They sure didn’t.


 

Gale Weathers: [after Sam and Tara find her stabbed] He didn’t get me. Tell Sidney he never got me.


 

Sam Carpenter: Maybe he gets to win this time. He wants to punish me. Me. So maybe I let him. I’ll just give myself up. If this is what I have to do to keep you safe, it’s worth it.


 

Tara Carpenter: Every single day, you make the decision to protect me. None of us would even be alive if it weren’t for you. You have to let us protect you this time.
Sam Carpenter: No.
Tara Carpenter: Yes. We’re a team, remember?
Mindy Meeks-Martin: Actually, we’re a family.


 

Danny Brackett: Core what?
Chad Meeks-Martin: It’s an us thing.


 

Tara Carpenter: We execute him. Are you going to help us?
Detective Bailey: Let’s kill the son of a b**ch.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: [to Ethan] Get your Ghostface a** away from me, Ghostface.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: [after she gets stabbed] Goddammit. I got it wrong again.


 

Sam Carpenter: Don’t trust anyone, remember? We don’t know you. Not really.
Danny Brackett: You know me.
Sam Carpenter: You’re not Woodsboro. I’m sorry.


 

Chad Meeks-Martin: [after he kisses Tara] It’s maybe embarrassing how long I’ve wanted to do that.
Tara Carpenter: Yeah, you should’ve done that a lot sooner.
Chad Meeks-Martin: I know.
Tara Carpenter: But you could also do it a lot more times.


 

Detective Bailey: Frankly, I expected more from the two of you after what you did to us.
Tara Carpenter: What do you mean, “us”?


 

Sam Carpenter: [referring to Bailey and Ethan] Wait. If it’s you two, that just leaves… Mindy?
Quinn Bailey: [takes off the Ghostface mask] Hey, roomies. You didn’t see that one coming, did you?
Tara Carpenter: Yeah, because you died!
Quinn Bailey: Kind of didn’t though.


 

Detective Bailey: Little fake blood, a prosthetic. You’d be amazed at what a grieving father can get away with.


 

Sam Carpenter: You did this as a family?
Quinn Bailey: Hell, yeah, b**ch! You should know better than anyone.


 

Quinn Bailey: Do you know how easy it was to turn Sam from the hero of Woodsboro into the villain? How easy it is to convince the world to believe the worst in people rather than the best?
Ethan Landry: Because it’s not enough to just kill someone these days. You have to assassinate their character first.


Detective Bailey: And all the best lies are based on the truth. And you’re a killer. Just like your father.

Sam Carpenter: No, I’m not!


 

Detective Bailey: Have I been a perfect Dad? No. Have I maybe overindulged Richie’s love of these little movies? Yeah, maybe. For me, they’re just a little dark.


 

Detective Bailey: Everybody dies, Sam! Everyone who had anything to do with the death of my son suffers and dies.


 

Tara Carpenter: [as she stabs Ethan through his mouth] Now die a f***ing virgin.


 

Sam Carpenter: [as she shoots Quinn] Always got to shoot them in the head.


 

Ghostface (Sam): [to Bailey] What’s your favorite scary movie? I’m asking because you’re in one now. You’re in my movie.


 

Detective Bailey: Stop f***ing around and show yourself!
Ghostface (Sam): Be careful what you wish for.


 

Detective Bailey: How do you think this is going to go, Sam? Who do you think they’re going to believe, huh?
Ghostface (Sam): Probably the one who’s still alive.


 

Sam Carpenter: [after she stabs him] My father was a murderer. No matter what you think, I’m better than that.
Detective Bailey: Thank you. Thank you.
Sam Carpenter: But you did f*** with our family, so.
[stabs him in the eye, killing him]


 

Sam Carpenter: I want to be in your life, but only as much as you want me to be.
Tara Carpenter: I want you to be.


 

Kirby Reed: [as she smashes the television over Ethan’s head] I saw that in a scary movie once.


 

Kirby Reed: [to Sam] If you ever need me, call. We’re all part of the same f***ed-up family now. And legacy doesn’t always have to be a bad thing.


 

Sam Carpenter: [to Chad] How are you alive?
Tara Carpenter: Core F***ing Four.


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: I know who the killer is! It’s Ethan and Bailey.
Sam Carpenter: And Quinn.
Mindy Meeks-Martin: And Quinn? F***! Did I miss the monologue again?


 

Mindy Meeks-Martin: Oh, my God. We all survived. It’s a twist on a twist.
