Courteney Cox celebrated Halloween this year by poking fun at the awkward haircut she had inScream 3. When the horror sequel was released in 2000, Cox appeared for the third time as Gale Weathers with an unknown masked killer (orkillers) attacking the Woodsboro survivors once again. For better or for worse, what some people remember most about the movie is the style of Cox’s bangs, something that has become a popular meme within the horror community in recent years.
Clearly, the haircut did not age very well at all, butCourteney Coxis using her sense of humor to laugh about it 20 years later. In an image posted to Instagram, Cox looks horrified as the Ghostface killer chops away at her bangs with a pair of scissors. “Not the bangs!!!!!!!!” Cox states in the caption, suggesting that giving her this awkward haircut is the worst thing he could do to her with the sharp object. you’re able to take a look at the image below.
This year, Cox’s ex-husband andScreamfranchise co-star, David Arquette, took the blame for thenotoriously bad haircut. “The bangs were my fault,” Arquette told Entertainment Tonight, confessing that the hairstyle he envisioned in his head didn’t quite come out how he expected. “I have to admit, I was like, ‘Oh, you should do a like, Bettie Page thing, you know, just like, a little. That was my fault. Totally, I’ll take full responsibility.”
Bizarre bangs notwithstanding,Gale WeatherssurvivedScream 3and went along to also surviveScream 4with husband Dewey Riley (Arquette) and Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell). Cox, Arquette, and Campbell will all be back to reprise their franchise roles once again forScream 5, the next installment of the series.
