Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth Timeline Explained: Your Questions Answered

When does it happen, and why in that order? The questions people ask about the chronology of Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth (2000): time jumps, flashbacks, cause and effect between scenes and the correct order of events, each answered with spoilers.

Q1

Why does the killer's mask melt and reveal a Scream-like face?

The killer's mask melts when he lights a cigarette after killing Screw. The heat from the flame causes his Jason Voorhees-style hockey mask to melt, revealing a face that resembles the Ghostface mask from the Scream franchise. This self-inflicted reveal serves as an early parody element, showing the killer's theatrical nature and setting up the film's meta-horror tone.

  • killer mask
  • scream parody
  • jason voorhees
  • melting mask
Q2

What secrets do the killer's letters reveal about each character?

The killer sends letters exposing hidden guilt from each character's past. Boner inadvertently caused his brother's death in prison; Slab smoked his uncle's ashes; Barbara removed the 'do not remove' tag from a mattress (a reference to the Urban Legend about the invisible man); Martina claimed to have laxated her grandmother (which turns out to be false); and Dawson was forced to wear a deer costume and was the one actually hit by the group while drunk-driving.

  • killer letters
  • secrets revealed
  • deer incident
  • matrix callbacks
Q3

Why was Dawson dressed as a deer in the past?

Dawson was forced by a hillbilly to wear a deer costume during a prank involving his friends drinking and driving. While wearing the costume, Dawson was actually struck by the group when they hit a real deer, they thought they had hit him. This traumatic memory was buried until the killer's letter forces Dawson to confront it.

  • dawson
  • deer costume
  • hillbilly
  • drunk driving prank
Q4

Who is the killer really?

The killer is revealed to be Hardy, who claims to be Doughy's 'evil twin cousin.' Doughy intends to let Hardy go free after discovering his identity, but Hagitha shoots Hardy before he can escape, ending the immediate threat. The revelation adds a meta-twist about family connections in slasher films.

  • hardy
  • killer identity
  • doughy evil twin
  • masked killer
Q5

Why does Principal Interest electrocute himself in the bathtub?

Principal Interest confronts the killer inside Slab's house but ends up electrocuting himself in a bathtub during the showdown. His death is played for dark comedy, removing a potential obstacle from the killer's path in an absurd, unexpected manner that fits the film's parody tone.

  • principal interest
  • bathtub
  • electrocution
  • death scene
Q6

How does Boner survive the killer attack?

Boner suffers a heart attack during the killer's attack at the party. However, he survives because he had taken an entire bottle of Viagra earlier, which keeps his heart pumping despite the cardiac event. This absurd survival mechanism perfectly encapsulates the film's crude, over-the-top humor.

  • boner
  • viagra
  • heart attack
  • survival
  • bizarre twist
Q7

Why does Slab's head explode?

Slab's head explodes due to steroid abuse. The film reveals he has been using steroids, and this abuse leads to a dramatically grotesque head explosion scene, a parody of over-the-top horror special effects and the 'exploding head' trope in exploitation films.

  • slab
  • steroids
  • head explosion
  • gore parody
Q8

How does the hillbilly who forced Dawson to wear the deer costume die?

The hillbilly dies when he farts near an open fireplace, causing an explosion. This absurd death is played for dark comedy and serves as a bizarre twist that further connects the killer's obsession with exposing everyone's secrets, the hillbilly's death ensures his involvement in the deer costume incident remains hidden.

  • hillbilly
  • fart
  • explosion
  • death comedy
Q9

What is the anthrax bomb and president assassination subplot about?

The film briefly mentions that an anthrax bomb is being assembled elsewhere and hints at a plot against the president. These elements are part of the killer's broader plan and add to the chaotic, overstuffed nature of the parody, though they don't fully develop into major plot points, the film treats them as absurd background threats.

  • anthrax bomb
  • president assassination
  • subplot
Q10

Why does Hagitha Utslay accuse Dawson of being the killer?

Hagitha Utslay, the sensationalist TV reporter covering the murders, quickly points the finger at the new student Dawson. This is meant to showcase her reckless journalism and adds to the suspicion swirling around Dawson, though it proves unfounded. Her accusation contributes to the film's meta-commentary on media sensationalism.

  • hagitha
  • dawson
  • accusation
  • reporter
  • media satire
Q11

What happens in the post-credits scene?

The post-credits tag titled 'Where The Hell Are They Now?' shows brief glimpses of what happens to various characters after the main events. It also hints that the high school has a new, improved killer, setting up the possibility of a sequel and playing on the Friday the 13th franchise structure.

  • post credits
  • new killer
  • sequel setup
  • where are they now
Q12

What is the secret about Barbara removing the mattress tag?

Barbara confesses to removing the 'do not remove' tag from a mattress, a reference to the famous Urban Legend about the 'invisible man' who cannot be seen because he has no tags. This seemingly trivial secret is one of the guilty past actions the killer exposes, highlighting the film's absurd approach to 'dark secrets.'

  • barbara
  • mattress tag
  • urban legend
  • dark secret
