Quotes:

  • Tatum: "I'll send you a copy." BAM! Bitch went down. "I'll send you a copy." BAM! Syd! Superbitch!
     
  • Billy: Now, now, Syd. Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Gale: Jesus, get the camera, hurry!
    Kenny: My name's not Jesus.
     

Trivia:

  • Casey hanging from the tree looks like the opening of Suspiria.
     
  • When Casey answers a question that the killer asks, she answers just like Rachel in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers : "It's Michael... Michael Myers!" in the same tone of voice.
     
  • The mask is based on the painting "Scream" by Edvard Munch.
     
  • The cheerleader in the washroom scene was played by Skeet Ulrich's girlfriend.
     
  • 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.
     

Credits Fun:

  • No thanks whatsoever to the Santa Rosa City School District Governing Board.
     
  • 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.
