20 Best Kills In The Scream Franchise - Ranked
7. Anika Kayoko - Scream VI
Scream VI plays host to one of the most brilliantly nerve-shredding suspense set-pieces in the entire franchise, when Ghostface assaults Sam and Tara's New York City apartment.
Sam and her friends attempt to escape by using a ladder to climb across to the adjacent apartment of Sam's boyfriend Danny (Josh Segarra), but the last of the group, Anika (Devyn Nekoda), ends up getting caught short by Ghostface, who finally breaks through to the barricaded room they're escaping from.
Ghostface then starts shaking the ladder while Anika is on it, leaving the rest of the group - including Anika's girlfriend Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) - to helplessly watch as she's eventually shaken loose, falls to the ground below, and faceplants on a dumpster, killing her instantly.
The playful cruelty of this kill, combined with Devyn Nekoda's superb performance, nailing the sheer terror anyone would feel in that situation, makes this easily the best kill from the last few Scream movies.
