No, please don’t kill me, Mr. Ghostface, I wanna be in the sequel!
“Scream” was a big deal when it came out. It raised the horror genre from it’s grave, that in the 1990s, was as dead as a Michael Myers victim. Since its release there’s been lots of imitations, hell the “Scary Movie” franchise was born as a parody of this film, so it gets lost in the shuffle and sometimes not seen as particularly innovative. But it was a complete game changer at the time and still fucking rocks.
Horror legend Wes Craven directed the cast of mostly unknowns through one of the smartest and most self-aware horror films of all time. With lines like “Movies don’t create psychos, movies make psychos more creative,” if anything, this film is underrated.
And the characters are SO GOOD. There’s awesome dialog that’s super unique, along with great acting. We’re going to focus on Tatum (Badass Rose McGowan), cause she’s obviously the best character.
She’s the cool and snarky best friend of final girl Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and rocks some looks in her SPOILER: much too short screen time (RIP).
Let’s start with her first look. She wears a very Cher Horowitz like plaid mini with a short sleeved yellow ribbed turtleneck. She completes the outfit with white leather buckle booties. It’s a very 90s look and I love it.
Next up is her “Lolita tries out for the NFL” look. She wears red bootcut pants and a cropped jersey, probably a size 10 youth from Limited Too. She tops it off with pigtails, a zebra purse and a black belt. The shirt is based off of Johnny Depp’s character in another Wes Craven flick, “Nightmare on Elm Street,” so that’s another fun easter egg to the many that are scattered throughout this film.
Next, look at her cute sleepover jammies! I’m happy that I had veryyyy similar cloud pjs in the 90s. She also includes a on-trend big ole cloth scrunchie
Her final outfit is what she wears to the house party. Her shirt is a tight lime-green turtleneck and she rocks a psychedelic mini. Interestingly, it’s very similar to the skirt/shirt combo earlier.
I’m not sure if short sleeve turtlenecks are practical? Like what temperature do you wear them in? Either way they’re kinda cool and minis are always great. Here’s some links to create some great Tatum looks
