Do you think Stu didn’t want to kill Randy?

Something that always felt odd about the first movie is the scene where ghostface is creeping up behind Randy while he is watching Halloween. Don’t get be wrong, it’s hilarious and I’m glad Randy didn’t die there. But I never understood why GF didn’t just kill him. Even if he wanted to get to the van really fast he could have easily slit his throat without breaking a sweat.

My personal headcanon is that Stu was reluctant to kill Randy. We see them joking around together on the fountain earlier in the movie. And overall we can assume they were friends. The only scene we see them sort of butt heads is when they are at the video store. But even then it seems like Stu is having fun messing with Randy, unlike Billy who seems really angry.

Just a thought, and would be a good excuse rather than Randy having plot armor in Scream 1.
