Quotes:

  • Reporter: Sidney, how does it feel to be almost brutally butchered? How does it feel? People have a right to know!
     
  • Gale: Look, Kenny, I know you're about fifty pounds overweight, but when I say hurry, please interpret that as MOVE YOUR FAT TUB OF LARD ASS NOW!
     
  • Casey: Who's there?
    Ghostface: Never say who's there? Don't you watch scary movies? It's a death wish. You might as well come out to investigate a strange noise or something.
     
  • Tatum: Stupidity Leak!
     
  • Tatum: "I'll send you a copy." BAM! Bitch went down. "I'll send you a copy." BAM! Syd! Superbitch!
     

Trivia:

  • Matthew Lillard add-libbed the line "Ah... Houston, we have a problem" when he discovered that the gun was gone.
     
  • When Sidney comes out of the closet and stabs Billy with an umbrella, the stunt man was supposed to hit a pad on Skeet Ulrichs' chest. The first hit got the pad but the second one slipped and hit him in the chest (you can see it in his reaction too). Wes kept it in because of its authenticity.
     
  • Many references to horror films/characters.
     
  • To keep Drew Barrymore looking scared and crying, director Wes Craven kept telling her real life stories about animal cruelty. She is a keen animal lover and vegetarian in real life.
     
  • Sidney's friend said she can picture Meg Ryan playing her if they ever did a movie about her. Sidney said, "My luck they would Cast Tori Spelling to play me." Tori Spelling was cast to play her in Stab shown in Scream 2.
     

Credits Fun:

  • Just before the end credits start to roll, there is a quick flash of Ghostface, it happens so quick, it causes the viewer to doubt they actually saw it.
     
  • No thanks whatsoever to the Santa Rosa City School District Governing Board.
