10 Horror Movie Secrets Never Meant To Be Found

7. Matching Shoes - Scream

It's another Wes Craven film, although this one doesn't have any Sam Raimi references in it... that we know of.

Scream from 1996 changed the game when it came to slasher films. Not only did it revitalise the genre by taking several loving jabs at its cliches, but it also completely flipped the script when it revealed that the main killer wasn't one person but two.

The Ghostface mask and costume were worn by both Billy Loomis and Stu Macher, as the two teens sought their revenge on Sidney Prescott. At the time, this was considered a huge twist, but you would have seen it coming were you keeping an eye on the boys' footwear choices.

Early in the movie, Billy, Stu, and their friends are all sat by a fountain. If you look closely, you can see that the two secret killers are wearing matching boots, hinting that they are somehow linked. These are also the same shoes we see Ghostface wear later in the picture.

If only they'd splashed out for something a bit more exciting, maybe they'd have gotten away with it.
