"I'm going to blame the movies. It's cool, huh? It's never been done before." The late 1990s were plagued with a debate, "Do movies encourage violence?" Scream 2 grabbed that issue by the horns and made it a centerpiece in the arc of its narrative. Mickey Altieri's motive is the most unlike any of the other six people under the Ghostface costume. He wanted to have this public debate about violence in cinema.
