9 Annoying Minor Movie Characters Everyone Wanted To Die
6. Gale Weathers - Scream
Wes Craven's Scream revitalized the tired horror genre in 1996, through its self-aware and sharply satirical script and using the rules of horror movie to its and the characters advantage. Its success led to a whole franchise and turned its cast into stars.
For Courtney Cox, Gale Weathers was her true movie breakout role as the acerbic and fame hungry reporter who will stop at nothing to get her story. You know she's loathsome when she asks Sydney about her mother, getting a right hook for her trouble.
She endlessly puts down her cameraman, manipulates the clear attraction that Deputy Dewey Riley (David Arquette) has for her to get information and inserts herself into the worsening murders with a view to writing a killer book.
This woman deserves to die, yet throughout the franchise she keeps not only doing loathsome things, but inexplicably surviving. In the world of Scream, the last things on Earth will probably be the cockroaches and Gale Weathers.
