3. Tatum Riley (Rose McGowan) – SCREAM

Tatum was the coolest high schooler in Woodsboro and the one character with the absolute best one-liners throughout the entire film. She was also a truly good best friend to SCREAM’s heroine Sidney Prescott. Tatum was the most likable person in the film, arguably even more likable than Sidney, so her death was unwelcome especially since it was such an ignominious one. Tatum should have led Ghostface on a merry chase (Helen Shivers style!) before finally getting offed.
