« Vintage 90s BellSouth 10 Channel Aoutoscan Cordless Telephone USED NOT TESTED (313941328198), 2023. »
Model numero: (HAC 534) FCC ID: C5Q9410 SMOOTHLINE LTD, Made in China. Variable dimension.
I found this telephone on eBay after weeks of research, scouring various websites and Reddit forums. I eventually purchased it from Karim, who is based in Algeria. This BellSouth cordless phone closely resembles the one used by Casey "Cici" Cooper (Sarah Michelle Gellar) in Scream 2. It's a derivative of the BellSouth model used by Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) in Scream 1, which is practically untraceable today. Both Caseys were the first murder victims in Scream 1 & 2 and are the only characters known to use this particular BellSouth white cordless phone in the franchise, to the best of my investigation and knowledge. This type of regular home phone slowly disappears in the later Scream films, soon to be replaced by cellphones and smartphones.
