STU MACHER | MATTHEW LILLARD

Motive: Because it was fun? Stu’s a textbook follower (who some argue was in love with his alpha). As he admits, “I’m far too sensitive.”

SCREAM 2 (1997)

NANCY LOOMIS | LAURIE METCALF

Motive: Just a case of good old-fashioned revenge against the kids who killed her precious little boy. How very Mrs. Voorhees of her.

MICKEY ALTIERI | TIMOTHY OLYPHANT
