Quotes:

  • Reporter: Sidney, how does it feel to be almost brutally butchered? How does it feel? People have a right to know!
     
  • Tatum: Billy and his penis don't deserve you.
     
  • Gale: If I'm right about this, I could save a man's life. Do you know what that would do for my book sales?
     
  • Tatum: Stupidity Leak!
     
  • Randy: Listen up. They found Mr. Himbry dead. He was gutted and hung from the goal post on the football field.
    Drunk Teen: Well what are we waiting for? Lets go over there before they pry him down!
     

Trivia:

  • Casey hanging from the tree looks like the opening of Suspiria.
     
  • Tatum's house in Scream is right across the street from the house used in Pollyanna, located in Santa Rosa, California.
     
  • When Billy (who looks like Johnny Depp) sneaks into Sidney's room in a manner similar to a scene where Depp's character does something similar in A Nightmare on Elm Street.
     
  • Drew Barrymore was originally cast as Sidney Prescott (now played by Neve Campbell). But, due to schedule conflicts, Barrymore offered to play the much smaller role of Casey Becker.
     
  • The school janitor Fred (played by Wes Craven) can be seen wearing Freddy Krueger's outfit from A Nightmare on Elm Street.
     

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.
