The Cast of the Original ‘Scream’ Then vs. Now Is Blowing My Mind
This is your friendly reminder that The Scream Powers That Be have made yet another Scream movie (with tons of newcomers like Jenna Ortega and even original cast members like Courtney Cox), so it's time to watch the classic for, like, the 400th time to feel old IRL-levels of ancient.
The 1996 Wes Craven classic recently celebrated its 26th anniversary, which means everyone looks a little different these days. Mostly in a good way due to the majority of these actors getting rid of their frosted tips, floppy middle parts, and questionable goatees. But hair woes aside, Scream has one of the most iconic casts of all time, including but not limited to David Arquette, Rose McGowan, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, and of course Drew Barrymore—who only appears briefly in the movie but manages to have the most memorable scene in the entire film.
If you're in the mood to feel Sanderson Sisters-levels of ancient, check out what the original Scream cast looks like in our year 2023 compared to their '90s selves. The glow up is too real!

Neve Campbell: Then and Now
Conclusive proof that (1) the '90s were a harrowing time for both bangs and sweatshirts, and (2) Neve is an ageless queen.

Courteney Cox: Then and Now
I honestly see no difference between these two photos other than a change in hair color, so BRB while I google her fave products.

Matthew Lillard: Then and Now
Alarmed to report that I don't know if Matthew's wet hair from Scream is a result of sweat or the result of the over enthusiastic use of gel during this era.

Rose McGowan: Then and Now
Gorgeous as always. Though honestly, I'm still unable to enter a garage due to *that* scene in Scream.
