The first Scream movie. Everybody gets all this marketing with Drew Barrymore just for her to get killed in the first 10 minutes. It was so unexpected. Really helped sell the movie and solidify the first films place in horror history.
This allowed us to feel like if her character could die anybody could, which is an important atmosphere to create in a slasher film.
