Which Character from the Scream Franchise Are You Based on Your Horoscope?

Do you ever wonder who you would be if the stars aligned (probably not in your favor) and you found yourself in the middle of Woodsboro? Madame Horror Press has chosen to emerge from her psychomanteum and impart upon us which character we are in the Scream franchise based on our astrological signs.
We at Horror Press recognize that, just as the Scream franchise has displayed many different personalities, the signs cannot simply be defined by only one character. To every yin, its yang. Which side of the coin you land on depends on your heart, dear horror fan. So, as you weigh your two options, ask yourself: are you the good guy or the villain?
Note: As of the creation of this article, Scream 6 is brand new. As such, for the sake of no spoilers, none of the new canon or characters will be referenced.
Aries 3/21-4/19

Sidney Prescott//Mrs. Loomis
With your determination to never back down from a challenge and bold personality, is it any wonder that you’d be the OG final girl Sidney Prescott? However, in the wrong hands (or right hands, depending on your POV on vengeance), you could find yourself as none other than Mrs. Loomis.
Taurus 4/20-5/20

Tatum Riley//Cotton Weary
Like Tatum Riley, you have a fun-loving nature, and you’re a great time to be around. Although this has its downturn, a constant fixation on cash, stubbornness, and envy of others can make you look a lot like Cotton Weary if you’re not careful. (Okay, so he’s not a murderer, but he’s certainly not #goals either.)
Gemini 5/21-6/20

Chad and Mindy Meeks-Martin//Ghostface
Your many interests and desires can be personified in one of two ways, depending on you, dear Gemini. If you are endearing in your endeavors, then the playful Meeks-Martin twins are your reality. If not, then your nature can only be rightly captured by all the duplicitous madness lurking behind the Ghostface masks.
Cancer 6/21-7/22

Dewey Riley//Stu Macher
Your caring, devoted nature and inherent silliness are all trademarks of Dewey Riley. However, these qualities can quickly turn sour when you’re roped into a homicidal frenzy with your best pal, only for him to stab you and hit you with a phone – like Stu Macher.
Leo 7/23-8/22

Derek Feldman//Jill Roberts
Your adventurous and humorous nature and affinity for the spotlight could have you standing on a cafeteria table singing “I Think I Love You” like Derek Feldman. Be cautious, however. That desire to be the star-of-the-show forms the swirling depths from which the likes of Jill Roberts emerge.
Virgo 8/23-9/22

Randy Meeks//Roman Bridger
Your analytical nature and love of order and solving puzzles make you Randy Meeks, informing everyone of the rules of the horror movie. However, if you let the past haunt you and use your powers of analysis for evil, that makes you none other than Roman Bridger, a calculated killer to the nth degree and the most disliked in the franchise.
Libra 9/23-10/22

Principal Arthur Himbry//Amber Freeman
You thrive on justice and harmony and work tirelessly and thanklessly to preserve balance, much like Principal Arthur Himbry. Take caution, for if you become too rigid in your expectations, and let your bossy ways take the wheel without mercy, you may find yourself in the same position as Amber Freeman – on the business end of some hand sanitizer.
Scorpio 10/23-11/21

Sam Carpenter//Billy Loomis
You dark spirit, you. Like Sam Carpenter, you have a mysterious aura, are loyal to a fault, and derive great power from your emotions. Unfortunately, some are driven insane with that power, and then we’re left with Billy Loomis.
Sagittarius 11/22-12/21

Gale Weathers//Still Gale Weathers
You are funny, fair, and have an unquenchable thirst for information and will go to great lengths to get it – much like Gale Weathers. While this can be an admirable quality, tread carefully. That quest for knowledge can be dangerous, as before you know it, you’re interrogating a teenager on the anniversary of her mom’s death about being wrong about her mother’s killer. I’m not saying she was a villain pre-Ghostface trauma, but she was a villain pre-Ghostface trauma.
Capricorn 12/23-1/19

Kenny Brown//Mickey Altieri
Your hard work, sense of responsibility, ability to be a team player, and humility all amount to the undervalued (and undoubtedly underpaid) Kenny, the cameraman. Conversely, the desire to continuously take what you want right nowcan amount to hare-brained schemes where you team up in a murderous plot with a random grieving mother you met online.
Aquarius 1/20-2/18

Kirby Reed//Hank Loomis
Like fan-favorite Kirby Reed, you are a dedicated innovator who knows how to have fun. Be wary; your rebellious side and recklessly pursuing your passions can amount to the likes of Hank Loomis, Billy Loomis’ father. When your son and your (ex) wife are driven to serial murder from the fruits of your desires, it may be time to begin looking inward.
Pisces 2/19-3/20

Tara Carpenter//Richie Kirsch
You are sensitive to the plights of others and respect intelligence, much like Tara Carpenter. Is it any wonder you’re such a fan of elevated horror like the Babadook? On the other hand, your deep thinking can get you into trouble – as being prone to fantasy can trick you into believing you would get to ride off into the sunset with your clearly sociopathic girlfriend (cough, cough, Richie.)

Demon Twinks: Horror’s Deadliest Skinny Boys
Ranking the top 10 deadliest twink horror villains! From Corey Cunningham in Halloween Ends to Lee in Bones and All, these slim slashers bring terror with style.

When one is ideating horror-related topics for Pride Month, it shouldn’t take too long for the phrase “demon twink” to pop into one’s head. Naturally, it took me three years to come up with this idea. I never said I was a genius. But once it got into my head, I couldn’t get it out. Twinks don’t have a reputation for being imposing or menacing. They’re usually young, slim, etc., and as such can be quickly written off.
But horror villainy is an equal opportunity business, and there are plenty of demon twinks to be had, if you know where to look. Twunks need not apply. So I took the time to do some exhaustive research and break down some of the deadliest skinny boys in the business (ranked by deadliness, of course – their body type is part of the foundation of this discussion but not attached to any sort of value judgment).
Warning: Some of these movies are whodunits, so there will be spoilers.
Top 10 Demon Twinks in Horror
#10 Orphan: First Kill (2022) – Gunnar Albright
Demon twink number 10 is low on the list because he doesn’t actually kill anybody during the events of Orphan: First Kill, but (VERY SPOILER ALERT) the fact that, prior to said events, he murdered his own kid sister and conspired with his mother to cover it up very much earns him a place on this list. That’s demonic as hell.
#9 He Lives by Night (夜驚魂) (1982) – The Stocking Killer
This Hong Kong movie is probably the least well-known of the titles on this list, but it shouldn’t be. Well, it is a touch transphobic, as are so many early post-Psycho slashers, so be warned. But the killer – whose mind snapped because of his cheating wife, leading him to murder women by strangling them with stockings – pulls off a heap of brutal, protracted, often beautiful murders, including one that I would accuse of ripping off Tenebrae if it hadn’t actually come out before the Argento classic.
#8 Terror Train (1980) – Kenny Hampson
Kenny racks up a pretty solid body count for an early 1980s slasher villain, helping 10 people shuffle off this mortal coil. However, the flair that he has for changing costumes is not reflected in the kills, which can be a little samey, landing him a little lower on the list than he maybe should be.
#7 Scream VI (2023) – Ethan Landry
Like all Scream movies, the exact body count that each Ghostface is responsible for in Scream VI is a little unclear. However, given where he is at certain times in the movie, he could have perpetrated at least five of the New York City slayings, which is more than his dad (three, tops) or his sister (who maxes out at four). He’s also pretty clearly the Ghostface behind the notorious ladder scene, which results in one of the most gruesome deaths in the movie. Poor Anika. We hardly knew ye.
#6 Cutting Class (1989) – Brian Woods
See, this demon twink 1980s slasher killer has a more compact body count of 6, but he knows how to have fun with it. He’s out here baking people into kilns and inspiring Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving with a deliciously preposterous trampoline murder.
#5 Angst (1983) – K
K may not have a lot of meat on his bones, but what he does have to offer is an uncontrollable urge to torture and murder people. This bleak, shocking motion picture has a relatively low body count, because it primarily follows him tormenting one isolated family. However, the sheer intensity of what we do see cannot be denied, as is the intensity of the way K does everything in his life, including eating a sausage in what might actually be the most disgusting scene in the movie.
#4 Fade to Black (1980) – Eric Binford
When it comes to a small body count with flair, look no further than Eric Binford, who stages five spectacular murders inspired by classic films, namely Kiss of Death, Dracula, Hopalong Cassidy, The Mummy, and White Heat, all while trying to get with a Marilyn Monroe lookalike. Commitment to a theme will get you far in Pride Month, and we must all pay respect.
#3 Bones and All (2022) – Lee
Lee’s onscreen kill count isn’t especially high, but he gets extra points for style (Slitting a dude’s throat in the middle of a hookup? This demon twink brings the drama) and for canonical cannibal murders that have taken place before the events of the story, including those of his father and babysitter. Plus, Timothée Chalamet is the ur twink of our day, and that is what pushes him so far toward the top of the list.
#2 Children of the Corn (1984) – Malachai
Although he does not figure very much in the opening scenes of the movie when the town’s children turn on the adults, Isaac’s second-in-command makes up for lost time once the main thrust of the story kicks in. In fact, he’s really the only person who commits proper, non-supernatural murders from that point on, and he takes to his job with terrifying gusto.
#1 Halloween Ends (2022) – Corey Cunningham
I know, I know. He’s not technically Michael Myers, and we’re all mad about that. This is something I’ve written extensively about for Horror Press in the past. But he is the primary killer in this movie, like it or not. He’d already get points for the accidental but spectacular murder of that beyond irritating kid he’s babysitting in the opening sequence (which I’ve also written about previously), but he later adds nine bodies to that count, as well as a homoerotic assist for a Michael Myers slaying. And some of those kills are pretty damn gruesome! This is a deadly, demon twink if there ever was one.
Runners-Up: Jesse Walsh from A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, Alex from My Soul to Take, Charlie Walker from Scream 4, Arne Johnson from The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and Norman Bates from Psycho IV: The Beginning
