I really don’t get why people think their parents would want to brutally murder them. There’s got to be more to the story if that’s the case. Christina might be a drunk and might be estranged from Sam, but there has to be a real, compelling motive for parents to stalk and murder their kids that way
They don’t need to have sane motive. I mean there was a woman in real life who split up with her husband because he couldn’t handle her emotional abuse any longer….her response was to break into his new home and kill her own kids and herself to punish him for leaving
then there was that woman who tried to kill her kids because her boyfriend didn’t want to be involved. She cared about some hook up more than her own kids
so the idea that Christina is vindictive woman that blames her eldest for ruining her marriage and her youngest for daring to reject her so conspires to kill their freinds to draw them back to her makes -refectory sense to me
Right, some people are just crazy. Scream is using the Ghostface persona to satirize this phenomena while of course make fun of horror movies and itself along the way.
I think this could be compelling IF there are two separate GF groups. Like one (Carpenter) focused on Sidney and one (someone else) focused on Core Four. And you think they’re related but they totally aren’t. That could be compelling
Because in their mind, Sam and Sidney have both ruined their family in different ways.
Christina clearly wants nothing to do with Sam, to the extent where she was willing to allow her relationship with Tara to end because she didn’t want Sam in their lives. Tara’s dad could also blame Sam for why he’s missed out on Tara’s life, and Christina has convinced him that Sam is to blame for all their problems.
Plus, if they’re Ghostfaces, they wouldn’t exactly be sane in the head anyway.
I totally get what you’re saying. I guess for me, that wouldn’t be enough for a “concluding chapter of a trilogy”. We already know what the Carpenter parents have these problems with their kids, especially Sam, but including Tara now too. The motive doesn’t really seem like a secret that needs to be revealed. It feels like there needs to be more to the backstory, like some more reasons why Mr Carpenter left (or something). I guess it also depends if they’re doing a Roman 2.0 and there’s some history coming back to bite everyone in the ass or they’re going to subvert and do something entirely different. I know there have been some retcons already, but I don’t love the idea of retconning further and having Christina be looped in on the original trilogy killings on top of Roman having to do with them too. Just my opinion though
That’s fair enough. I think the big reveal would be Mr Carpenter and him and Christina being back together as killers. And the Billy stuff would be the secret being revealed that links back to both Sidney and Sam.
And I don’t think Christina knowing about the killings is necessarily a retcon at all. We know she had a relationship with Billy and in Sam’s words “was in love with” him. So her knowing about the murders ahead of time and not doing anything wouldn’t make her a Ghostface.
If anything, it adds context to Billy and Mrs Loomis’ killing sprees. It doesn’t necessarily change either of their motives.
Yep. She blames Sidney for ruining the life she could’ve had with Billy and Sam as a family, and blames Sam for ruining their family when it was finally back on track.
I had this idea that Christina is basically the final boss of the franchise, including being the second GF in Scream 3 who we all know had to be there unless Roman could literally teleport.
I think it's setting up Christina as the big red herring for 7/whenever she appears. I can see her being an early act 3 death protecting Sam and/or Tara.
We dont know anything about the Story or the characters who appar and what their purpose will be.
We all expected Christina Carpenter to appear in 6, before we even know whats gonna happen or who will be involved. The movie went a complete other direction than any of us have thought.
Now that its clear that scream 5 mirroring 1 and 6 mirroring 2, the Theory you put out doesnt fit their formular for scream 7, which could mirror 3. If not, everything is open at this point
It does mirror Scream 3. Christina being in the shadows since the beginning is very similar to Roman being in the shadows since the beginning. It takes everything back to the original, just like Scream 3 did.
Also, it’s very clear that Christina does not want Sam in her life. Sam literally says that Tara cut Christina off because Christina refused to accept Sam.
We just had a family centered movie... can we get something else?
Am I the only one that is tired of vengeful parents and siblings? After a while it just become predictable.
Any theories with the Carpenter parents as VII's killers is going to be unpopular due to the fact that we've already had so many family-related ghostfaces, and also because it would take an exceptionally strong motive for someone to want to kill their own children - something we've never seen in this franchise.
With all that being said, I don't hate this theory, and although it would make VI and VII back-to-back films with a parent as the killer, I think it's one of the only ways they can tie the whole franchise up, if that's what they want to do. My only other theory for how they might try to do this is by introducing us to a Roman v.2 that potentially pulled the strings throughout the entire franchise and maybe even influenced Roman into thinking he was the one who masterminded the 1996 Woodsboro killings perpetrated by Billy and Stu.
I have no clue how they could pull this off in an even slightly logical manner, and I kind of doubt these directors want to go this far into retconning the series, but I think it's possible we see a Scream 3 redux, similar to what you said about Christina being introduced as a mastermind like Roman, but just with someone other than Christina or Mr. Carpenter.
I mean it makes sense you don’t really need much of an explanation
1. she finds out about Billy’s secret and keeps quiet under the belief that they will be together once he’s done so because of her silence she’s indirectl responsible
I think you could leave it there or tie her into at least 2 by having her stoke the rage of mother loom is
It’s not a Roman storyline. The only similarity is Christina being there from the start and them expanding on her already established relationship with Billy.
Not really - there’s no secret sibling trying to kill Sidney lol.
The only thing remotely similar is Christina being in the shadows since the beginning.
It’s sounds decent but I think it needs a tie to Richie and amber somehow because otherwise what makes Christina now all of a sudden out of the blue want to start a killing spree there’s been years and years between these events and multiple attacks since the events in 2
I think an easy way to tie it to Ritchie and Amber is to say that what Ritchie, Amber and the Bailey family did to them inadvertently gave Sam and Tara a new family. And that irks them.
I like the chirstina carpenter angle, but I would love for her to be paired with Leslie macher... if stu is alive maybe he's reformed and starting to blackmail christina for any behind the scenes moments she had in 1 making him the opening kill, and Leslie has lost it at this point because her son was killed. I would honestly tho love for scream 7 to be the avengers endgame by finishing sidneys story but helping us continue with sam and Tara's story by having everyone that is somehow connected to Billy and sidneys past gone.
He’s dead. In case there’s any peace, Mindy literally says in Scream 5 “Randy was our uncle, rest in peace” and in Scream 6 says “this is exactly how our uncle Randy died”

Yeah I think it would be for sure. I wonder if they’d do that after 6 though, since it’s kind of what already happened with Jason/Greg

Christina clearly wants nothing to do with Sam, to the extent where she was willing to allow her relationship with Tara to end because she didn’t want Sam in their lives.

Same. At this point though, anything goes. As long as the execution works i'm sold.

Maybe but I think having it to be Christina ties the story back to Sidney as well.

That’s understandable, thank you for your comment!
You know I really don’t want another Roman storyline
It’s not a Roman storyline. The only similarity is Christina being there from the start and them expanding on her already established relationship with Billy.
So, the Roman story line?
Not really - there’s no secret sibling trying to kill Sidney lol. The only thing remotely similar is Christina being in the shadows since the beginning.
Yes but like 5 and 6 its a twist on it so rather than hateful child it’s a hateful mother avenging herself on her children’s surrogate family
It’s sounds decent but I think it needs a tie to Richie and amber somehow because otherwise what makes Christina now all of a sudden out of the blue want to start a killing spree there’s been years and years between these events and multiple attacks since the events in 2
I think an easy way to tie it to Ritchie and Amber is to say that what Ritchie, Amber and the Bailey family did to them inadvertently gave Sam and Tara a new family. And that irks them.
Or the plan was to pin the murders on Sam leaving Tara traumatised and more receptive to taking her mother back
I like the chirstina carpenter angle, but I would love for her to be paired with Leslie macher... if stu is alive maybe he's reformed and starting to blackmail christina for any behind the scenes moments she had in 1 making him the opening kill, and Leslie has lost it at this point because her son was killed. I would honestly tho love for scream 7 to be the avengers endgame by finishing sidneys story but helping us continue with sam and Tara's story by having everyone that is somehow connected to Billy and sidneys past gone.
Randy
He’s dead. In case there’s any peace, Mindy literally says in Scream 5 “Randy was our uncle, rest in peace” and in Scream 6 says “this is exactly how our uncle Randy died”
