10 Horror Movie Killers EVERYONE Predicted
5. Detective Bailey & Quinn - Scream VI
The Scream franchise has had something of a mixed history with the predictability of its Ghostface reveals, but things have never been more obvious than in Scream VI.
First off, it's clear early on that Detective Wayne Bailey (Dermot Mulroney) is one of the killers, given that this Ghostface has a habit of dropping the masks of previous killers at their crime scenes, complete with DNA from the killer in question.
Who else would have easy access to such materials except for a cop? It clearly wasn't going to be the movie's other major law enforcement character, Kirby (Hayden Panetierre), so it left only Bailey.
Secondly there's Bailey's daughter Quinn (Liana Liberato), who is attacked by Ghostface off-screen before dying.
Given that off-screen attacks are incredibly rare in the Scream series, and the light of suspicion is already firmly on Bailey, it's incredibly easy to guess that she's Ghostface #2.
It was at least a little trickier to predict a surprise third Ghostface, with Bailey's son Ethan (Jack Champion) completing the trio. All the same, two of the three were so staggeringly obvious it seemed like a fake-out.
