10 Important Horror Movie Details That Are Almost Never Mentioned
10. The Casey Doll In Stu's Attic - Scream
There are few things horror fans love more than going back through a slasher movie and seeking out clues which point to the identity of the killer(s).
And the original Scream has one hell of a doozy that's rarely brought up by even the franchise's ultra-passionate fanbase.
In the third act, when Sidney (Neve Campbell) flees from Ghostface by running into the attic of Stu's (Matthew Lillard) house, for a brief moment it's possible to see an incredibly telling effigy hanging up.
Just in front of and above Sid, a crude doll bearing an unmistakable resemblance to the film's first victim, Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore), can be seen hanging in a manner similar to how Ghostface left her corpse hanging from a tree.
Given that this is Stu's house, it's basically an early spoiler that Stu is the killer - or rather, one of the killers - and yet, the detail passes by so quickly that it's incredibly tough to spot, especially with the attic's low-key lighting.
