Why Stu Macher Stands Out From The Rest Of Scream’s Ghostface Killers
Stu Macher’s Motivations Are Unlike Any Others
So far , theScreamsaga has had 12 Ghostface killers ( without enumerate Jason inScream 6 ’s first step ) , all of them with dissimilar reasons to go after either Sidney or Sam and Tara , but the only one who stands out is Stu . Billy point Maureen and Sidney because his forefather cheated on his mother with Maureen , which is why his mother abandoned him , with Mrs. Loomis becoming the Orcinus orca inScream 2to avenge her son ’s death . Mrs. Loomis is helped by Mickey Altieri , who just require to get catch and be “ immortalized ” through infamy .

This alone makes Stu the most terrifying Ghostface killer in theScreammovie saga , ashe did n’t postulate a need or reason to drink down – he would have done it anyway .
Scream 7 Needs A Different Type Of Ghostface Killer
Please, Scream 7, Make A Difference
Althoughevery Ghostface killerhas had clear motivations to go on murder sprees and target Sidney or Sam and Tara , these have become repetitive . As seen above , the Ghostface killer have either been vindictive boyfriends , even more vengeful family members , hard-core movie buff , and people who need either fame or infamy – and , of course , there ’s Stu , who was in it for the sport . Scream 7is already at endangerment of being repetitive , peculiarly ofScream 3 , so it really take a new character of Ghostface sea wolf to stick out out .
Scream 7will stress on Sidney and her family ( this thanks to a time jump ) , and it ’s already theorized that the new Ghostface killer will be Sidney ’s husband , Mark ( Joel McHale ) . This would be insistent and unfair to Sidney , as well as incredibly predictable , soScream 7needs a Ghostface with young and unlike but believable motive . The challenge ofScream 7just keep add and turn , and Stu ’s legacy is n’t make them any easier .
