Vote up the most vicious deaths from the slasher films.
There have been over 60 deaths in the Scream film franchise, throughout all six movies. Some Scream kills are more memorable - and brutal - than others. Note: This list covers deaths from all six movies, so major spoiler alert from this point forward.
From deaths that were especially heartbreaking, like Anika in Scream VI or Derek in Scream 2, to the ones that felt a bit more warranted, but nevertheless ruthless, like that of Jill in Scream 4, this is your chance to rank them. Another unforgettable death is that of Tatum, Sidney’s best friend in the first film. She had the misfortune of getting trapped in the cat flap of a (moving) garage door.

Each moment below features which movie it is from, which actor or actress played the victim, and a brief description of what happened. Vote up the deaths you think were the grisliest below.

After Casey gets a question wrong, she has to see her gutted boyfriend tied to a chair, before getting chased herself. She is stabbed multiple times, and then hung from a tree. To top it all off, her parents arrive home just in time to hear her dying breaths on the phone, but they cannot save her.

Film: Scream Played by: Rose McGowan Situation: Poor Tatum doesn't get to make it to the sequel. Her two-faced boyfriend sends her into the garage for beer, where she encounters Ghostface. After getting cut on the arm by Ghostface, and seemingly cornered, Tatum panics and tries to escape through the cat door. She gets stuck, and GF uses that to his advantage, turning on the garage door, which makes the cat flap dig into her ribs as she lifts. He then lets the mechanism finish Tatum off when it gets to the top, and snaps her neck.

Anika tries to hold on, but eventually falls, smashing her head on a dumpster on the way down. A close-up of the brutal damage is Anika's swan song.
