Scream 2/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Why does Sidney have a grudge against Cotton for something he didn't do?
    • Mainly because he was trying to pressure her into doing a interview.
      • He did admit that Maureen was having an affair with him. Sidney likely would have disliked him no matter what out of loyalty to her father.
  • Does Too Soon not exist in the Scream universe? You would think that Stab would get a serious case of Dude, Not Funny, with the short time frame and especially given the fact it was a crowd-pleasing slasher flick based off of a real-life tragedy. Sure the whole thing was basically a commentary on the screwed-up bloodlust of pop culture, but it's still incredibly disturbing.
  • Sidney automatically recognises Mrs Loomis, despite the makeover. Gail, who is a reporter, which presumably means she's supposed to have an eye for details, doesn't. Is that realistic?
    • Being a reporter doesn't mean you have a photographic memory. Reporters are typically more concerned with retaining information rather than faces.
