Home alone vs scream! It's the kid famous for defending his house, against the man also famous for murder, and breaking into them!
But who will win in a death battle? Let's find out!!!
Interlude[]
Carter locke: So, this is going to be an interesting fight.
Lucky Prescott: indeed, today we have Kevin, from home alone.
C: And (Shudders) Ghostface, From scream.
L: It's the classic case of invader vs defender, but who will ultimately win, in this death battle?
Ghostface[]
Lucky: So, ghostface, this mysterious guy. This may surprise you, but he isn't just one guy, he's multiple guys and girls.
Carter: What? Like the legion?
L: Precisely like the legion! And if were counting dead by daylight, there have been 7 different ghostfaces.
C: But all of the ghostfaces have something. They all try and get revenge on Sidney Prescott, in one way or another.
L: except 1: Danny Johnson. He just kills.
C: Anyway, There was the first one, Billy Loomis. Ghostface has some weapons, like his famous 120 buck knife, voice changer, which can mimic and disorient other peoples voices, 3 different kinds of guns, a shotgun, a fire axe, a bulletproof vest and a bone saw. Normal serial killer stuff.
L: But that doesn't mean he's entirely normal. He does have some special skills, like Ghostmode, which allows him to go invisible! And Night shroud, which makes him enter a stealth mode, and allows him to stalk people with out being noticed.
C: He can also call upon an accomplice to assist him, Can get away with kills in highly populated area, and is shockingly precise with a knife, being able to hit Dueys head, with the HILT, not the sharp bit, The HILT of his knife.
L: Of course, he's surprisingly strong too, being able to YEET a chair through glass, punched through glass, threw his knife hard enough that he knocked somebody out, stabbed an officer in the head, and can stab wooden doors hard enough to break them.
C: He's pretty fast too, since he managed to gut Steve in a very short amount of time, dodged multiple falling stage lights, and can hang people very quickly! (Editors note: In roughly 2 seconds, so he's strong enough to stab people onto hooks hard enough that they stay there, and can do it in roughly 2 seconds! takes note kids, don't judge a book by it's covers)
L: But where he excels in, is durability, since he can tank a ridiculous amount of punishment. he's tanked getting a freezer door smacked into his face, walked off having a bookcase fall on top of him, survived being stabbed, shot falling down stairs being stabbed by an ice pick, multiple times, and was still alive and moving after taking 360 jolts of electricity to the head by a defibrillator.
C: But he still has his faults, for instance once he reveals his identity, he tends to monologue, which leaves him open to be attacked, His Night shroud will wear off as soon as he's been seen, for 3 seconds, if he attack's Ghostmode will wear off, and all it takes is one good shot in the head to kill him.
L: yet despite his flaws, Ghostface is a very dangerous slasher, and if i were you, i suggest you start watching a lot of horror movies, so that way when this guy comes around, you mite have a shot at living.

Description[]
Scream vs Home Alone! It's a battle between a clumsy slasher and a kid who sets dangerous traps to defend himself and his house. Who wins between the attacker and the defender?
Intro[]
Wiz: Ghostface, Woodsboro's meta serial killer from Scream.
Boomstick: Kevin McCallister, the young trap master who was left behind from Home Alone.
Wiz: It's a classic match between an attacker and a defender as the face of horror parodies takes on the boy who was left to defend his house from a clumsy duo of robbers in a battle between two of the most beloved films from the 1990s.
Boomstick: Are we really debating this matchup of all things. I mean, one of these combatants is literally a child for crying out loud.
Wiz: We sure are.
Boomstick: Okay. Whatever helps us get paid I guess. Anywho, He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick!
Wiz: And it's our job to analyse their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle!
Ghostface[]
Wiz: What’s not to love about watching a horror movie for a change? The intensity of seeing the protagonists being hunted by a vicious killer can really grab someone’s attention to these gruesome films as they worry about the possibility that the supposed survivor may not make it out alive after all.
Boomstick: Is it because their audience might be insane? Maybe, but here is a better question to ask...“What’s your favorite scary movie?”, an infamous question asked by a killer from Woodsboro known to the public as Ghostface.
Wiz: There are various people who take on the identity of Ghostface, but for most of them, they all have one goal: to kill Sidney Prescott.
Boomstick: As if things couldn’t get any worse for Sid after the death of her mother. Now she’s got someone who’s watched one too many horror films lurking around her town and taking down her classmates. Take Steve and Casey for example.
Wiz: One spooky phone call with a mysteriously deep voice and your life might be over.
Boomstick: Unless you give the right answers to a few quick questions about horror movies then he’ll let you go. Well actually, no. You’re dead either way.
Wiz: So who could have been the one behind the mask you may ask? After all, everyone is a suspect.
Boomstick: It just so happened to be none other than Sidney’s very own boyfriend Billy Loomis who, let’s be honest, already looked like he could be a serial killer, and it turns out he had a second Ghostface working alongside him; that being Shaggy- I mean Stu Macher.
Wiz: After realizing that his father had secretly been with Sidney’s mother Maureen and caused his parents to split apart, Billy murdered Maureen in cold blood and he and Stu would target Sidney and her friends next.
Boomstick: Unfortunately, it didn’t go well and the two would eventually die.
Wiz: Even after their deaths, the legacy of Ghostface continued as many others donned the mask and would hunt down Sidney Prescott at all costs.
Boomstick: Except for Danny Johnson from Dead by Daylight, who we’re not going to use for this battle. Sorry Dan. Maybe some other time.
Wiz: On the topic of which Ghostface, or Ghostfaces, will be used for this fight, you’re probably wondering who it will be.
Boomstick: However, we’re just gonna cover each feat for every killer throughout the Scream franchise and let the battle itself reveal its Ghostface. It adds a little bit of mystery to how everything will unfold later on.
Wiz: Each Ghostface always comes with their iconic weapon, a Buck 120 Hunting Knife. It’s just standard slasher knowledge that they wield a blade of sorts.
Boomstick: They also wield pistols and, at some point, a shotgun that they used to blow somebody’s head off! Holy shit! The guys donning the mask in Scream 6 were not playing around.
Wiz: Thanks to their dark robes, Ghostface is able to not only hide their identity, but can also blend in with the shadows for quick sneak attacks. They also tend to use voice changers, mostly during their voice calls, to keep their identity a secret. In fact, the more recent Ghostfaces have a built-in one in their masks.
Boomstick: A voice changer may not seem like much, but in Scream 3, Ghostface has a special voice changer that can imitate just about anyone’s voice so tricking his victims seemed to be a lot easier for him. He could even imitate Maureen’s voice to give Sidney some more past trauma. Don’t ask how he managed to do that. That third film was just ridiculous.
Wiz: While many victims consist of teenagers or college students, Ghostface has shown to be able to kill police officers and even those with past experience with these murders. Not even Randy nor Dewey could get through every murdering spree they’ve been caught up in.
Boomstick: Each of these guys are somewhat intelligent, carefully planning out each kill to reach whatever their motive is, most of which are usually associated with Sidney in a way.
Wiz: Billy wanted revenge after his father had an affair with his girlfriend’s mother which caused his mother to leave him. However, Mrs Loomis would become one of the next copycats alongside Mickey Altieri to avenge her fallen son.
Boomstick: Kinda like she was Jason Voorhees’ mother or something like that. Don’t know why she would even bother, but at least her motive isn’t nearly as dumb as her accomplice's plan to blame his murders on the movies or even the other motive by...(sigh) Roman Bridger.
Wiz: Roman was abandoned by his mother at a young age and wanted revenge a few years later after getting cut out of her life.
Boomstick: Now guess who his mother was. Yep. It was Maureen Prescott so that also means Roman is Sidney’s half brother. Just remember what I said about this third installment earlier.
Wiz: To get back at Maureen, Roman showed Billy Loomis what his father was doing behind his family’s back which led to the first Woodsboro murders. In other words, the mastermind behind Scream 1, 2, and 3 was none other than Roman. Not entirely sure why he’d want to do such a thing considering he became a successful director later...
Boomstick: For someone who caused the events of the first three murder sprees, he’s got to be the most aggravating of all of the Ghostfaces. He was such a whiny bitch even when he wasn’t revealed as the killer! To be fair, he was the only Ghostface to work alone and successfully execute some of his kills so…good job on that part I guess?
Wiz: Some Ghostfaces were able to protect themselves with the help of a bulletproof vest, but each killer is surprisingly durable. They can take vases and other fragile objects to the head, get back up after getting hit by falling props, endure kicks and punches from those who are able to fight back, and survive falling from decent heights despite those falls mostly being two stories high at most.
Boomstick: They can tank getting their faces slammed by freezer doors, being set on fire for a brief moment, getting stabbed in the mouth, and continuous stabs from one another. If you couldn’t tell by the last one I said, not many team bonds remain forever. It’s just standard Scream knowledge that you have to beat the shit out of the killer in some way.
Wiz: Aside from the Ghostface trio, their teamwork doesn’t always last and some even betray one another. Not even Billy and Stu’s cooperation stayed intact when they were under the pressure of getting caught by police enforcement.
Boomstick: But hey, doing some of the work alone had some slight benefits. After all, Jill nearly succeeded in making her seem like a victim just to get some fame like her dear ol’ cousin, but of course, she had to throw herself under the bus by accidentally confessing about how she stabbed Gale in the shoulder which led to her eventual demise. Oh, and she survived getting electrocuted by defibrillators to the head before ultimately getting shot down.
Wiz: Over the course of the Scream franchise, Ghostface managed to get a total of at least 50 people, one of those victims including Dewey who’s taken stab after stab and had him hospitalized many times before he was ultimately taken down by one of the killers in Scream 5; not that it’s directly called that.
Boomstick: They can lift and toss fully grown adults on top of a van or even throw them from the top of a building, and have fought and taken out even stronger foes such as Steven. Ghostface can keep up with Sidney and take her down with a few hits, even landing a few stabs on her, although she manages to get back up. Who is she? Michael f*cking Myers?
Wiz: Well unfortunately for the person behind the mask, Ghostface isn’t either. Despite each murderer’s durability feats and even getting back up from a quite brutal attack, they are nothing more but average humans who can still be killed with a bullet to the head.
Boomstick: Some of these killers don’t even tend to make it out alive from more extreme demises. After all, Stu did die from not just multiple stabbings but also a TV that smashed his face in. Some argue that he survived and is still out there but only time will tell.
Wiz: They also tend to monologue about why they went on a killing spree, which could give their victims a chance to pull off a surprise attack of their own. Not to mention their downfall of their teamwork as we mentioned previously.
Boomstick: But there is a much bigger weakness than all of those. Ghostface is easily the clumsiest horror movie villain. From constantly bumping into objects that he could easily maneuver around, to getting their knife stuck whenever they miss their targets, this dude can barely stand up and chase people around for 30 seconds at least and yet those victims still end up getting killed! Maybe it's 'cause of the mask and its limited amount of vision.
Wiz: Despite how clumsy this slasher is, every Ghostface is unique in one way or another and quite threatening despite originating from a more comedic horror franchise.
Boomstick: Although they would get close to taking down Sid, every killer who challenged her ended up dying, but it wouldn’t stop there.
Wiz: The legacy of Woodsboro’s iconic slasher would carry on and face a new batch of protagonists led by Sam Carpenter who happened to be the daughter of Billy Loomis.
Boomstick: Well at least she’s not going down the same path as her dear ol’ dad and usually disregards what his spirit tells her unless it’s for a good cause. Y’know, like how her crazy “boyfriend” Richie and Amber tried making a new Scream- I mean Stab movie as they call it.
Wiz: But the murder sprees didn’t stop there, as Richie’s family consisting of police officer Wayne Bailey and his other children Ethan and Quinn terrorized the Core Four and even a few certain legacy characters in New York.
Boomstick: But with a quick gunshot, a stabbing to the face, and the return of an incoming TV, they all made it out alive once again though some of these guys probably should’ve been dead. Who am I to judge? If the killers can tank some more lethal shit, they can endure as many stabs as it takes. Why not?
Wiz: Although every murder spree comes to an end, there will always be someone that will take on the persona of Ghostface.
Boomstick: You can get rid of Ghostface as many times as you like, but someone out there will always fill in the void sooner or later. Next time you get a phone call, it might be the last thing you’ll ever hear before someone in a dark robe and a white mask takes your life.
Kevin McCallister[]
Wiz: Christmas is a time of joy and spending time with family. While the McCallister family were all excited for their trip to Paris for the holidays, Kevin was finally fed up with how he gets treated by his other siblings.
Boomstick: Who can blame him though? From getting insulted by his older siblings to having his favourite pizza getting taken before he gets the chance to have a slice, it's no wonder he he wished that he could live by himself. Hmm, I wonder what will happen the next day.
Wiz: As the sun began to rise and the whole family rushed their way to their airport, they managed to arrive for their flight right on time with everything they need for their trip...or so they thought. It turned out that Kevin's family had unintentionally left him behind after he was left to spend the night in the bedroom located in the attic.
Boomstick: But hey, at least he got his wish of living alone now that he "made his family disappear". Whatever you say, kid. You got the whole house to yourself.
Wiz: Unfortunately, his fun would have to be cut short. With a house as massive as the McCallister's home, it might just be the perfect target for any oncoming criminals to steal some valuable items they can get their hands on while everyone is spending time outside of their homes during the Christmas season.
Boomstick: By disguising himself as a police officer, Harry managed to figure out which families wouldn't be home for Christmas as he and his partner-in-crime Marv take the opportunity to sneak into different houses, grab whatever shit they can get their hands on and eventually damage their water systems, hence why they're the Wet Bandits. Well, according to Marv at least.
Wiz: By the time the Wet Bandits finally ceased the opportunity to rob the McCallisters after the realisation that one of their kids were left by himself, it seemed that Kevin would have no way of stopping them but...we all know where this leads to.
(All Alone On Christmas Instrumental)
Boomstick: It turns out Kevin wasn't going down without a fight. Despite being a child, he was able to use whatever was lying around the house to craft plenty of traps that would stop these pesky criminals at their tracks. Now I'm starting to see why people believe this kid grew up to become John Kramer from Saw.
Wiz: With the very few hours he had left, Kevin was able to find ways to build the very things that would await the Wet Bandits at every corner.
Boomstick: To put it simply, the McCallister's home is quite literally Kevin's greatest weapon filled to the brim with surprises left and right.
Wiz: Aside from the slippery staircase leading to each entrance of his house, Kevin's traps consists of an iron with a fake lightbulb cord that causes it to fall on the head of any intruder making their way through the darkness of the basement. Kevin also makes use of rusty nails hidden on tar-covered stairs and Christmas ornaments to pierce through someone's foot as well as toy vehicles to cause his attackers to slip over.
Boomstick: Come to think of it. Some of these traps are somewhat easy to avoid but who am I kidding? It's Harry and Marv. They're not exactly the brightest criminals out there, far from it. Of course, there are some traps that aren't as obvious like the blowtorch that was used to light Harry's head like a candle when he make the fatal mistake of sneaking through the backdoor. Well I say fatal very loosely because of Slapstick movie reasons.
Wiz: We also can't forget the paint cans used to stop anyone from making it up to the second floor of the house and a metal pipe just in case they remember to avoid the cans next time.
Boomstick: There's also the sticky food wrap as well as the Fan and Feathers trick but that stuff really isn't that big of a deal outside of dressing someone up like a chicken.
Wiz: So yeah, Kevin's a lot smarter than most kids his age given what he's able to create with what he has to work with. Aside from creating traps, he's been able to outsmart grown adults with a Talkboy that he can use to record voices and change the pitch best suited in whatever situation he gets into.
Boomstick: He can even use the film "Angels With Filthy Souls" to make it seem as though that there's a madman firing away with a tommy gun, scaring off anyone who dares to try and slip through any doors. Bonus if firecrackers and a pot just for a more realistic approach.
Wiz: For close ranged attacks, Kevin wields a BB gun that can be used to stun anyone that gets to close.
Boomstick: He's got other weird guns in the video games but we're not gonna use that stuff. If the BB gun isn't enough though, then a brick to the head should be enough to keep someone down for a while.
Wiz: Despite his craftmanship when it comes to defending his home from robbers, he's still just your average everyday kid that's more reliant on his traps rather than his own physicality and has some fears like the furnace in his basement. Granted, he does eventually get over those fears.
Boomstick: So yeah, Kev is likely not as fortunate enough to have the same slapstick levels of durability which his competition has but he's not too much of a pushover. I mean, the kid was perfectly fine after falling from the top of a shelf, crashing into a treehouse whilst escaping his home with a zipline and falling on his back after slipping on some ice though that last definitely kept him down for a bit.
Wiz: Kevin is strong enough to shove much tougher and older people like Buzz hard enough to knock him back twice, the second one even caused a chain reaction that pushed a whole group of choir boys to the ground. Not only that, he was able to outrun a police officer and outmaneuver the Wet Bandits whilst on hot pursuit a few times before eventually losing them.
Boomstick: But there have been a couple of times when Harry & Marv do get him cornered but he eventually manages to escape whether it's through quick thinking or even the help of a scary looking person he befriends.
Wiz: By the time those pesky Bandits are put into handcuffs and sent off to prison, Kevin's family came back home just in time to celebrate Christmas together with no one left behind.
Boomstick: Until history repeated itself during another holiday rush to the airport where Kevin wounded up in New York City of all place. Well, at least they were so close compared to last time. Oh, and to make matters worse for the kid those dumbasses somehow managed to break out of jail and escape into the big city.
Wiz: Now that the Bandits have their eyes set on the millions of dollars piled up in one of the biggest toy stores in New York, Kevin resorts to luring them back to an abandoned apartment where he had a few new tricks up his sleeve.
Boomstick: Some other tricks include a ladder covered in grease, falling tools, an
Boomstick: The place had an electric box that electrocuted Marv to the point of becoming a skeleton and a gas explosion that blew up right in Harry's face yet he still lives to tell the tale.
Wiz: Considering the gas explosion impacted a good portion of the first floor in the building, Harry survived at least 0.0117 tons of TNT or 49,000,000 joules which the explosion itself should roughly be around.
Boomstick: Are you sure this kid isn't Jigsaw from the past-
Wiz: But once again, the Wet Bandits' bizarre levels of durability weren't enough to escape from law as Kevin finally reunites with his family the night before Christmas.
Boomstick: Maybe placing a tracker on the boy before their next flight but even if they don't know about what happened behind their backs, it seemed as though some good came out of it and Kev managed to live a sustainable life at home whilst they weren't around.
Wiz: If any robbers decide to break into someone's home and take their belongings over the holiday season, it might be best to make sure that they didn't accidentally leave their child behind because there might be a few consequences to come along with that.
Boomstick: The moment you step foot into the home of Kevin McCallister, you better hope that you have as much endurance as Harry & Marv because if not you're fate is pretty much sealed.
Intermission[]
Wiz: Alright! The combatants are set and we've run the data through all possibilities...That's not an exaggeration. There are plenty of options to choose from for this fight.
Boomstick: IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!
Death Battle[]
Christmas was just around the corner and the McCallister home was empty or at least that was intended. It turned out Kevin was accidentally left behind after the whole family rushed to their flight to Paris. To make matters worse, two robbers are planning to take the most valuable things the family has to offer. Thankfully, he had just finished setting up multiple traps as a way of defending himself and to prevent the Wet Bandits from stealing anything. Kevin was about to take a bite out of a slice of cheese pizza until he heard the screams that resembled a high school girl. Although he was a little bit anxious after what he found out from the news, the boy lets his curiosity get the better of him despite feeling worried about what’s to come next and peeks through curtains.
This was the moment he would witness a gruesome fate as the infamous killer known as Ghostface taking a final stab at his latest victim as blood covered his knife. Kevin could only watch in horror as he let out an audible gasp. Ghostface slowly gets up and turns his head towards the direction of Kevin’s house and quickly jumps in shock to realise that he just got caught in the act. Kevin notices Ghostface's acknowledgement and quickly gets away from the window. The killer, not wanting any witnesses around to call the police, rips the knife out of his deceased victim and slowly makes his way towards the McCallisters’ home.
Kevin: This can’t be right. I thought the Ghostface killer only existed in California. This has to be some sort of prank.
The phone starts ringing in the kitchen as Kevin goes to pick up and answer it. To prevent any suspicion about his family’s disappearance, he intimidates the voice of a grown adult.
Kevin: Hi. Who is this?
Ghostface: (through the phone) Hello. Is this…the McCallisters?
Kevin’s eyes widen in shock when he hears the sound of the killer addressing him by his family name. Nonetheless, he responds to the killer’s greeting, this time speaking in his regular tone.
Kevin: H-hello.
Ghostface: (through the phone) Nice try kid. I’ve seen that you’ve taken notice of me. So it looks like you're the man of the house. Did your parents forget about you? Boy, does the Christmas rush get the best of us all.
Ghosface then proceeds to ask his most infamous question.
Ghostface: (through the phone) So tell me...what’s your favourite scary movie?
Kevin was left confused as to why anyone would ask a child like himself about his favourite horror movie especially during the festive season. Nonetheless, he gives a response.
Kevin: Scary movie? I’m only eight, dummy. Besides, you seriously believe that I’d watch any scary movies during Christmas? I don’t think so.
Ghostface: (through the phone) So you’ve never watched Ghostbusters? I thought every kid loved that movie. Speaking of which, wanna watch a movie and we can forget this ever happened?
Kevin: No thanks.
Ghostface: (through the phone) Why not? It doesn't have to be a scary one if you don't like that type of stuff.
Kevin: ‘Cuz you’re a stranger. It’s just common sense. (sigh) I’m hanging up.
Before Kevin could hang up the phone, Ghostface shouts at him and begins threatening his victim.
Ghostface: (through the phone) Don’t you dare hang up on me or I’ll gut you like a pig and you’ll never get to see your family again! Unless, that's what you're asking for this Christmas...Kevin.
Before Kevin could make a response to the person on the other end of the call after being referred to by his name, he heard a few silent thuds from outside but didn’t want to risk getting harmed by going out to check. Laying down at the bottom of the staircase leading to the basement door, Ghostface tries to stand back up but nearly falls back down before only just keeping his feet on the ground after stabbing through the door.
Kevin: (through the phone) Well if you want to kill me so badly, why don’t you try getting inside?
Ghostface lets out a menacing chuckle after hearing Kevin’s attempt of not being phased by him.
Ghostface: As you wish. I’ll even give you an early Christmas present.
Ghostface hangs up the phone and breaks the window on the basement door, allowing him access to the doorknob on the other side where he unlocks the door and proceeds to sneak through the basement. Due to how dark the room was and how limited his vision was under the mask, the slasher tries turning the lights on with a cord only for it to be a fake. Ghostface looks up only to be met with a falling iron which falls and leaves a red mark on the mask hiding his identity.
Back inside, Kevin overhears the sound of the iron slamming down on whoever it was down in the basement during the ongoing conversation. This alerts him of the killer’s presence as he proceeds to run off into the living room. Despite the slow journey to the door thanks to some tar on the stairs, Ghostface breaks the lock and kicks the door open only to get struck down by falling tools. He gets back up off the floor and notices that Kevin is nowhere to be seen while the phone is sitting on the counter.
Ghostface: Not the usual game I play but a quick round of Hide and Seek should be fun.
Kevin was able to track Ghostface’s whereabouts with the sounds of the killer’s boots moving slowly across the floor while he was in the living room, hidden behind a curtain near the Christmas Tree. Ghostface looked under the bench for a brief moment before turning around and opening a cabinet under the kitchen sink. The killer groans in disappointment and continues his search in the dining room. This could have given Kevin an opportunity to make a run for the front door if it wasn’t for the fact that it was too risky since the slasher could easily catch up. Not only that but Ghostface was already making his way to the living room as he walked past the front door.
It was at this point that Kevin began to worry about his possible end as Ghostface was getting closer to the Christmas Tree. Luckily, Ghostface walked past the tree believing that the boy would be smart enough not to pick an obvious hiding spot. Instead, he simply walks out of the front door as Kevin sighed in relief. His peace was cut short as Ghostface suddenly showed up at the window located behind the Christmas tree, frightening Kevin as he screams and moves back just as Ghostface stabs through the window and jumps through. Unfortunately for Ghostface, his limited vision causes him to step on some toy cars around the living room as he slips and falls on his back. Kevin continues to get chased around the first floor of his house before looping back around to the dining room where Ghostface is briefly stopped by a small vase to the head, causing it to shatter in the process and stunning him for a bit.
Ghostface: You little-
Kevin slams the door just before Ghostface could land a killing blow which only resulted in the knife getting stuck through the door as the clumsy slasher tries to get it unstuck. With his pursuer temporarily occupied, Kevin uses this as an opportunity to continue running only to cross paths with Ghostface who quickly opens the door leading to the kitchen where a flamethrower is turned on and lights the top of his robe on fire, causing the killer to back away and find a way to quickly put the fire out. Kevin wastes no time and makes a run for the second floor where he awaits his attacker for another trap. Now that the fire has been put out, Ghostface returns to the entrance hall by slamming the door hard enough to knock the flamethrower off the top of the doorframe as his victim begins taunting him.
Kevin: (off-screen) Hey Mr. Ghost-Man! Come and get me while I'm standing around all hopeless!
Ghostface starts charging up the stairs just as Kevin throws a paint can over the balcony, striking the masked killer in the face as he falls back down to the bottom of the stairs. Kevin overhears the sound of the collision and the thump of Ghostface hitting the ground and celebrates his triumph over the slasher.
Kevin: Yes.
While Kevin runs to his parents’ bedroom to call the police, Ghostface's chase is interrupted by the sound of two men screaming followed up by thuds at the bottom of the stairs leading to the front door. He takes a peek through the curtains of the living room where he spots Harry and Marv laying at the bottom of the stairs after tripping over the icy stairs. Kevin also overhears the Wet Bandits' noisy arrival and begins to panic at the thought of more threats approaching his home. As the two criminals get back up on their feet, Marv takes notice of something or someone quickly moving away from the window before he could get a good read on who was at the window and warns Harry about the unknown figure.
Marv: Harry? I think someone got to the kid before us.
Despite being warned, Harry doesn’t believe what his partner-in-crime told him believing it’s another trick done by Kevin.
Harry: It’s probably the kid trying to think that he’s not alone in there. Now come on.
Instead of going back up the stairs, the Wet Bandits walk around and through the snowy ground not wanting to trip again. The two slowly creeped up to the front door where the door knob was glowing red. Just as Harry went to place his hand on the door knob, their attempt to rob the house was interrupted by Ghostface who quickly opened the door.
(Music Pauses)
The Wet Bandits are left in shock at the sight of a killer standing right in front of them.
Marv: I told you.
Ghostface lifts his knife above his head and aims it at the criminals who decide to not go through with their plans and make a run back to the rundown plumbing van they arrived in.
Harry: Go back!
Unfortunately, Harry and Marv don’t learn from their mistakes when walking across the stairs as they trip and slide back down to the bottom. Despite the rough landing back to the bottom, the Wet Bandits quickly make their way back to their van and immediately drive off as Ghostface brings his attention back towards Kevin.
(Home of Many Screams - Continued)
Before making any more moves, Kevin notices the Wet Bandits leaving his house as he grabs a BB gun before quickly running to the bottom of the attic stairs where he tries to lure the killer back to his direction.
Kevin: Better hurry! I’m about to go to the attic.
Ghostface finally makes it upstairs but is immediately greeted by an attempt to shoot the killer which only resulted in a quick dodge before getting hit between the legs during the second shot just as he tried getting closer to the boy. With his attacker knocked back down, Kevin makes a run for the attic just before Ghostface gets to the second floor and finally catches up. Kevin immediately retaliates by slamming the door into Ghostface and locks the door behind him.
He makes it to the attic where he plans to escape with a zipline leading to his treehouse. Before he does that, Kevin starts rearranging some furniture to hopefully slow his attacker who was continuously moving the door handle and slamming his other fist rapidly on the other side. Ghostface gives the door a few hard kicks before it swings wide open, allowing a tool chest to start rolling down the stairs. Ghostface blindly runs up the stairs and is shocked at the sight of the tool chest quickly making its way down the stairs as he quickly runs back down with the tool chest close behind. Just as he could move out of the way, he trips over his own costume and falls yet again. Ghostface gets back up but it is now too late for him to continue running as he gets slammed by the tool chest.
Kevin prepares to use the zipline and make his escape before Ghostface comes back and makes it upstairs. He wastes no time and launches himself out of the window and starts making his way to the treehouse. Things were turning out great for the boy so far until he got an unpleasant surprise waiting at the treehouse which caused him to panic. Somehow, Ghostface had already beaten him to the treehouse and cut the zipline as Kevin screamed, worried for his life as he hit the side of his house and landed on the snowy ground.
Ghostface jumps down from the balcony moments before Kevin gets back up and starts running to the basement. Instead of going down the stairs, he quickly dodges yet another failed attack from Ghostface who takes a bumpy trip down. Just for good measure, Kevin grabs a nearby brick and quickly tosses it into the killer’s face before making an escape in hopes that he could make it to another empty house across the road. Kevin got closer to freedom only for his path to be blocked by an unmasked Billy Loomis who quickly jumps from the other side of the house with a Beretta 92FS in his hand.

His face was covered in bruises while his mouth and nose was bleeding due the damage caused by the paint can and toolbox from earlier.
Billy: Where do you think you’re going, buddy? Let’s get you back inside where it’s normally safe.
Billy grabs a hold of Kevin with a single arm as his victim helplessly tries to free himself. He takes the boy back inside the house before kicking Kevin hard enough for him to land on the floor. He then calls out to a surprise second killer which takes Kevin by surprise.
Billy: Get in here Stu! I’ve got the little bastard right where we want him!
Standing behind Kevin was Stu Macher who takes his mask off and reveals an equally damaged face due to both the iron that burned through his mask and a few bruises of his own. Kevin slowly gets up and starts moving back from the two injured teens who were now pointing a knife and gun at him.
Kevin: Why me? I’m just a kid.
Billy chuckles at Kevin’s attempt at getting an answer regarding the killers’ motive.
Stu: That’s the funny thing, Kev. We don’t believe in motives. I mean, Billy does but that’s because-
Billy gets Stu to shut his mouth before he can spill the beans on him regarding his motive.
Billy: Shut up! He has nothing to do with my motive which he doesn’t know...but if here’s one for you.
(Home of Many Screams - Continued)
As Kevin desperately looked around for any signs of freedom but there was nothing. This could potentially be his final moment as Billy’s gun started getting closer to the boy’s face.
Billy: You could’ve just minded your own business and this wouldn’t have to be a problem for us. Normally I would just...you know, stab you through the head and get it over and done with but we’ve got an even better idea.
Stu: No action figures for you this Christmas, little fella. The only thing you’re getting this year is the pain and suffering you brought upon us!
Suddenly, Kevin takes notice of his brother’s tarantula and gets an idea. Stu takes notice of the spider and is frightened enough to slowly start backing away. Billy looks to see what the problem was as his eyes widen. Meanwhile, Kevin slowly picks up the spider and points it back at the insane teens.
Stu: Come on. It was all a joke. We were never going to kill an innocent child such as yourself. Please don’t.
Kevin disregards Stu’s begging and only gives him a mischievous grin as he flicks the tarantula on top of Stu’s head, causing him to scream like a girl as he tries swatting it off him.
(Music Pauses)
Stu: GET IT OFF ME!!!
After plenty of moving and attempts of flicking the tarantula, Stu manages to get rid of it. Unfortunately, the tarantula has now landed on Billy and fell through his robe which caused him to start panicking as he tries to get the spider out of his costume.
Billy: What the hell Stu?!
While the tarantula was running around Billy through the robe, Stu comes up with a way to stop it from moving around.
Stu: Don’t worry. I got it!
Without any warning, Stu uses his knife to try and stab the tarantula which moves out of the way just in time for him to land a wound underneath Billy’s chest. Billy yells in pain as Stu quickly takes the knife back out.
Billy: What the hell Stu?!
Stu: Sorry. Did I least get-
In return, Billy uses his own blade to stab Stu in the stomach as he screams as well.
Billy: How do you like it?! You jerk!
Both Billy and Stu began taking turns in stabbing each just as the tarantula found its way out of Billy’s robe at last. From a safe enough distance, Kevin covers his eyes to prevent himself from seeing the bloody sight before turning around with them noticing. Kevin could still hear the sounds of them being stabbed multiple times and their sounds of pain while he ran off to set up some final tricks. Billy and Stu finally stop stabbing each other as their blood covers their robes. As if their gruesome consequences couldn’t get worse, they begin coughing up blood.
Billy turns around and realises that his target has wandered off while they were distracted.
Billy: You gotta be kidding.
While Stu began to worry about his possible demise and lies down on the floor, Billy continued to grow even more furious as he ordered his partner-in-crime to start searching.
Billy: It's not over yet Stu! Get up and start searching for him!
Stu: I can’t-
Billy: I don't want to hear it! Just find the damn kid already!
Suddenly, they hear Kevin’s voice as the kid tries luring them in by getting on Billy’s last nerve.
Kevin: (off-screen) Ready to give up yet or are you still thirsty for more? I’d be quick if I were you. The police might show up any minute now if somebody else has already called them.
Billy begins lashing out threats after hearing his victim challenge him and Stu and starts wandering around the kitchen with his gun in one hand and a knife in the other.
Billy: We’ll hang your corpse up like a Christmas Wreath at the front of your house so your whole family can see what’s left of you once they get back! You hear me, you little shit?! You’re dead by the time this is finally over!
The duo suddenly heard a completely different voice from the lounge room, something that sounded like it was being played through a TV.
???: (off-screen) Is that a fact?
Billy grabs Stu by the hood of his costume and lifts him and puts him back on his foot. Stu remains in the kitchen and slowly stumbles his way to the closed door leading to the living room while Billy sneaks around to the entrance hall where he sees the TV playing a clip of "Angels With Filthy Souls".
Johnny: I'll tell ya what I'm gonna give you, Snakes.
Billy looks around the living room from around the corner where he sees something that made his eyes open widely. Stu, knowing what movie was playing, starts lip-syncing to Johnny's infamous line with a grin on his face.
Johnny: (off-screen) I'm gonna give you to the count of 10...to get your ugly, yellow, no good keister off my property before I pump your guts full of lead.
Back in the living room, Billy begins to panic at what could possibly happen by the time his accomplice makes his way into the living room as Johnny begins counting to ten. Billy quickly warns Stu to not enter.
Billy: Stu! Don't!
Johnny: 1, 2-
However, it was too late once Stu twisted the doorknob and shoulder-barged his way in.
Stu and Johnny: 10!
(Home of Many Screams - Continued)
Much to Stu's surprise, a flamethrower is activated from above and sets the unhinged killer's entire upper body on fire. Billy could only watch with a shocked look on his face as Stu began screaming and panicking as the flames consumed his body before instantly dropping dead before he could make it outside and put the fire out. Hiding behind the corner of the dining room, Kevin motivates himself to stay vigilant until the very end.
Kevin: It all comes down to this. Don’t get scared now.
Kevin appears from the dining room and continues to irritate Billy who turns around and faces the boy.
Kevin: Over here, you big horse’s ass!
Done with Kevin’s shenanigans, Billy charges at Kevin just before the latter grabs a bucket of grease which causes his perpetrator tries to keep his balance before eventually slipping and sliding across whilst also dropping his weapons. Billy’s journey comes to a halt as he crashes into a cabinet filled with fragile Christmas decorations which slowly falls down and lands on top of Billy who screams in agony as soon as all of the decorations shatter which result in Billy receiving many shattered pieces of glass to the face. Kevin quickly grabs the gun on the floor just in time for Billy to push the cabinet off him and get back up. He tries shooting the murderer down but the gun won’t launch a bullet, giving Billy the opportunity to grab the gun out of the boy’s hand and use it to smack Kevin across the face, causing him to stumble around and feel a bit of dizziness.
Billy: It’s a good thing I kept the safety on the whole time.
Just as Billy turns off the safety and points the gun towards Kevin, he’s quickly stabbed in one of the stab holes by the BB gun from earlier and gets shot from within. This gives Kevin yet another opportunity to run off as he makes his way back upstairs while his attacker is stunned.
Billy: Little fucker!
Billy gets up and immediately grabs the rope attached to the paint can and slices it with his knife before tossing it aside, already knowing what would’ve happened instead. Now struggling to find a way to keep Billy at bay, Kevin quickly resorts to pushing the toolbox down the stairs but that also doesn’t work as Billy stands by for a second and lets it roll down before rushing through the open gap that allows himself to catch up while Kevin looks up in fear.
Billy: None of your family members are here to save you this time, Kev. Now be a good kid and die already!
As soon as Billy raises his knife over Kevin’s head, the boy quickly dodges and lets the knife dig into the balcony. Kevin quickly slides a few toy cars behind Billy before shoving him back into the balcony and tripping over the cars, causing Billy to trip and fall over the balcony and land on the first half of the staircase face first. Blinded by his own rage, Billy gets up and sprints up the stairs, yelling out of frustration just in time for Kevin to toss a metal pipe off the balcony that gets in the murderer’s way who gets slammed in the face so hard, the bones in his face are completely shattered. Billy’s corpse is sent flying off the staircase and lands back on the first floor where he laid dead. Kevin slowly walks down the stairs and stares down at the gruesome scene. With nothing to say, Kevin unpauses the TV and repeats after the film.
Kevin and Johnny: Keep the change, ya filthy animal.
KO
Results[]
Wiz: Wait. Am I seeing this right?
Boomstick: Hey...uhh, look. As happy as I am of the fact that we didn’t have to witness any kids getting murdered here, shouldn’t the slasher win in this situation?
Wiz: Well in some cases, yes. However, it very much depends on which Ghostface is being used. I think it'll be easier for us to determine the overall winner by how often Kevin triumphs over certain Ghostfaces and which ones Kevin would lose to.
Boomstick: Let’s get the obvious out of the way. Every Ghostface had the edge in strength by a longshot. Sure, Kevin pushing Buzz and even carrying a Christmas tree over to his house are decent enough feats but comparing those feats to something like Billy kicking Gale Weathers which is at least 2182 joules doesn’t make much of a competition in this department.
Wiz: On top of that, Ghostface also manages to toss a body through a window which is about 378 kilojoules. The killers definitely had a bit of an edge in speed as well though that may possibly be up for debate.
Boomstick: Kevin was able to run around his house at a very high pace and has been shown to outmanoeuvre grown adults but Ghostface should be able to keep up with Dewey who dodged a car with only a few seconds to spare so it’s possibly that they might have the kid beaten there too. In terms of durability and how much pain they can take from all of the traps coming their way, this is where plenty of these killers fall behind.
Wiz: While some killers could endure getting burned alive, getting stabbed by one another, getting electrocuted or getting hit across the head by incoming objects, this doesn’t apply to all killers. Ghostfaces such as Nancy, Richie, Charlie and a few others have never really shown anything that makes them capable enough to survive some of the things their accomplices have endured.
Boomstick: Even if all of them could potentially walk away with many scratches, a quick bullet to the head is plenty to get the job done. Who’s to say that a flamethrower, paint cans and a lethal gas explosion won’t be enough to take out almost any Ghostface that’s hunting down Kevin with a blade in their hand?
Wiz: For the most part, Kevin was also likely smarter and just as, if not more, strategic than the vast majority of these killers. Don’t get us wrong, they’re obviously way smarter than the two criminals Kevin has faced, if that wasn’t already obvious, and can manipulate those around them but there’s only so much you can do with horror movie knowledge against a kid who can not only plan and successfully execute a battle plan as well creating the traps he sets up with little to no experience despite his young age.
Boomstick: Speaking of those traps, they would definitely give Kevin a slight edge in terms of surprises. Ghostface may be stealthy but whether or not their faults throughout their chases are caused by the terrible amount of vision through the mask more so than just being awfully clumsy, that would definitely help Kevin in the long run as they might not see those traps until it’s too late.
Wiz: And sure, setting those traps would definitely take some time but Kevin’s trickery has been utilised in dire situations where he’s had very little time to work with. Take his first encounter with Harry and Marv in New York where he used that small amount of time to use the beads of a couple of necklaces to cause the two to slip over in order to get away earlier or when he was on hot pursuit when getting chased by a few staff members of a hotel.
Boomstick: When it comes to each group of killers sticking together until the end, there’s only very few teams that went ahead without bickering or even backstabbing one another. Not even Billy and Stu could maintain their teamwork before Sidney got the better of both of them but let’s be real, the worst when it comes to this definitely goes to Jill and Charlie with the latter getting his heart broken metaphorically and literally.
Wiz: Out of all of the killers who would struggle against Kevin’s house of horrors, it’s fair to say that Roman Bridger and the Kirsh trio might have an easier time than the rest.
Boomstick: Say what you want about Roman’s role as Ghostface or Scream 3 as a whole, he’s definitely the most superior out of everyone here and that’s something considering he’s the only killer to go solo.
Wiz: Roman could also match Kevin’s intelligence thanks to the fact that he successfully masterminded the first three killing sprees that lead to the third installment of the Scream-(clears throat) Stab franchise.
Boomstick: To add on to his advantages, he’s also known for planning ahead similarly to Kevin as shown by the gas explosion that caused an entire house to blow up and the fact that he’s got a bullet proof vest on him at all times. Plus, he’s got a voice changer that perfectly mimics another person's voice. Of course, being a one-man army doesn’t really benefit Roman all that much and that’s where the Kirsh trio come in.
Wiz: It’s fair to say that Wayne, Quinn and Ethan would have a much easier time getting the job done sooner than most other Ghostfaces, even Roman. Wayne is a very skilled detective who managed to use his status to hide his other persona while the other two were able to sabotage the Core Four whether it’s by secretly removing any potential weapons out of their sight or rigging a roommate lottery to get closer to them.
Boomstick: And while two killers at a time can have its faults, having to deal with three of them is a far bigger challenge. Not to mention that these guys aren’t your usual Ghostfaces that trip and let others get the better of them. In fact, it’s reasonable that they can be considered the most dangerous and threatening killers in the Scream franchise. Long story short, Kevin doesn’t stand much of a chance against those three.
Wiz: Let’s quickly summarise each option for this fight. Billy and Stu’s teamwork holds up for the most part and are arguably the fastest killers but that teamwork can come crumbling down, aren’t exactly the most durable killers and have left their victims a chance to fight back.
Boomstick: However, those two definitely have a much higher chance of success compared to Billy's dear ol’ mama Nancy and her accomplice Mickey who’s teamwork is much worse than the former's and would easily fall victim into Kevin’s traps.
Wiz: The same could be said for Roman but for the most part, he’s got the tools, stats and intelligence to come out on top.
Boomstick: Then we get to Jill and Charlie who can overwhelm the likes of Dewey, Gale and even Sidney, are fairly durable as well as getting much closer to reaching their goal but Jill’s drive for fame leads to possibly the weakest teamwork out of everyone.
Wiz: Things are slightly better with Amber and Richie with the former succeeding with killing Dewey, surviving being set on fire and being able to break someone’s ankles with a single stomp but they tend to cower whenever someone gets the upper hand.
Boomstick: And to add more insult, Richie’s very few times to shine and not having anything outstanding ultimately led to him having the lowest chances of survival but hey, at least his family can avenge him in this case.
Wiz: Wayne and his two children have shown to get blinded by their own rage but they were some of the smartest killers and had a greater advantage in numbers, intelligence and skills.
Boomstick: With all of that in mind, Kevin wipes out at least four out of six teams that dare to challenge him with only four out of the twelve killers taking the win. That’s...kinda scary to think about.
Wiz: Ghostface definitely held up more of a fight than most would suspect thanks to some greater levels of physicality but Kevin’s strategic gameplan, experience and larger arsenal would be enough to be given a win more times than not.
Boomstick: Sounds to me like the only gift Ghostface could possibly get for Christmas is one last Scream at the sight of their doom but at least he likely wouldn’t be dying Alone.
Wiz: I still can’t believe I’m saying this but...the winner is Kevin McCallister.

Trivia[]
- The contrast between Ghostface and Kevin is that one is a murderous yet clumsy antagonist while the other defends himself from bumbling antagonists with the traps he creates. Ghostface is also a threat who usually works in a team and torments a group of teenagers and Kevin is a child who's home is under the threat of two older criminals.
- Some minor connections between Ghostface and Kevin are:
- Two icons who come from beloved classic films from the 1990s that heavily influenced their respective genres (Horror and Comedy)
- Both heavily rely on surprise attacks and thorough planning (Ghostface stays hidden and stalks his victims before killing them while Kevin uses his traps to fight those who try to attack him)
- Both have used methods of fake voices to conceal the truth about them (Ghostface uses a particular voice changer to keep his identity hidden while Kevin uses film quotes or voice recorders to make others believe that he isn't alone)
- This battle would be animated with sprites.
- This is the first fight written by Speedy to have a custom track suited for the matchup that was not made by Brandon Yates nor Therewolf Media. The track was done by Frenchhoaxwide.
- Harry and Marv were not the only characters to be featured throughout the battle.
- Sidney Prescott would appear and help with protecting Kevin during the final stage of the fight but the idea was scrapped since it would feel unfair to give Kevin outside help in a fight that she has no part of.
- Old Man Marley was also considered for a last minute helper for Kevin but much like Sidney, using him would feel more like outside help on Kevin's end regardless of the fact that Marley saving Kevin during the final moments of the final battle in Home Alone.
- Ghostface from Scary Movie (aka Doofy Gilmore) was considered a replacement for the last act of the fight with him killing both Billy and Stu the same way he killed Bobby and Ray in his own film and taking their spots for the sake of a surprising conclusion to the fight. The idea was also scrapped as it wouldn't make sense for him to show up and suddenly take the spotlight from the official Ghostfaces.
Original Track[]

Composition[]
The track for this fight is "Home of Many Screams" by Frenchhoaxwide as a request by the author. It starts off a calm yet suspenseful track that is occasionally backed by some upbeat drums that resembles the horrors of being chased by Ghostface and the more festive and light-hearted soundtracks featured in the Home Alone franchise along with some silent bells in the background. At times, the slightly more fast-paced segments of the song are interrupted by a violin is also used to capitalise the fear-inducing tracks featured throughout the Scream franchise or slow piano riffs that are similar to the Home Alone theme song "Somewhere in My Memory". Towards the end, a more climatic and suspenseful track occurs to capsulate the final act of the battle.
Title[]
The title are simply references to the title of the combatants' respective franchises, those obviously being Scream and Home Alone.
