The Best Kills In The Scream Franchise Ranked

This death deserves second place not only because of the methodology but because of how sad it is to watch. Tatum is the cool "it" girl in the first "Scream" film. Girlfriend to Stu Macher, Tatum is definitely a death that is expected, at least by horror movie rule standards. That does not make it easier to watch, though, as Tatum's death is one of the goriest and most inventive methods of murder that Ghostface uses.

Tatum heads out to the garage during a party to get more drinks. While there, the standard door shutting on its own and lights not working horror devices are utilized, driving the tension in the scene greatly. She opens the garage to leave that way, only to find it closes quickly with Ghostface controlling it. She does not believe he is the real Ghostface, though, and delivers one of the most famous lines from the franchise: "Oh, you wanna play psycho killer? Can I be the helpless victim? Okay, let's see, 'No, please don't kill me, Mr. Ghostface, I wanna be in the sequel.'"

To this, Ghostface starts to cut her. Tatum fights back, though, getting a few licks in before trying to escape. The door is locked, and the garage will not open, so she tries to crawl out the cat door. Ghostface opens the garage, and Tatum's body is crushed. It is brutal, shocking, and a great scene from the franchise.
