Patrick Lussier, who edited Wes Craven’s Scream, shared an interesting photo on Instagram this week, showing off a handful of VHS tapes from his storage locker. One of them was labeled “Scream: Alternate Killer Voice,” and Bloody Disgusting caught up with Lussier for exclusive insights into what precisely is found on that tape. Here’s what he told us.
“Near the lock of the cut Wes wanted to make sure we had the right choice for the voice (Roger Jackson) as we’d been listening to it during production and the cut,” Lussier explained to us. “Tom Kane, a buddy of mine who has done voice overs for Star Wars: Clone Wars, games, Powerpuff Girls, etc, did an ADR session doing an alternative performance for the whole film. It’s good yet different than Roger’s. We played the scenes back to back and quickly realized that we had the right choice with Roger. Wes felt there was something ‘sneakier’ in Roger’s voice and performance. Roger had recorded his tracks on set as the phone calls were done live to actors. The actors reactions didn’t feel the same to any other voice but Roger’s.”
Lussier continued, “That said, I believe there are a couple of Tom’s tracks in the final, more vocal effects than lines of dialogue. I believe it’s Tom’s breaths in the school bathroom scene as well as some efforts added to Roger’s. Roger and Tom have worked together doing voice overs in the past and I know Tom was thrilled that Roger’s voice won the day.”
Post-Scream, Roger Jackson continued to provide the voice of “Ghostface” in Scream 2, Scream 3 and Scream 4. He also returned for the recent TV season “Scream: Resurrection.”
As for Lussier, he went on to make his directorial debut with The Prophecy 3, subsequently directing Dracula 2000, My Bloody Valentine 3D, Drive Angry and the slasher Trick. Lussier also directed an episode of “Scream: The TV Series,” bringing his Scream story full circle.
