Quotes:

Billy: Now, now, Syd. Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative.
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!
Tatum: Billy and his penis don't deserve you.
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!
Reporter: Sidney, how does it feel to be almost brutally butchered? How does it feel? People have a right to know!

Trivia:

Matthew Lillard add-libbed the line "Ah... Houston, we have a problem" when he discovered that the gun was gone.
The mask is based on the painting "Scream" by Edvard Munch.
Casey claims that all of the sequels to A Nightmare on Elm Street "sucked". Wes Craven had sold the rights to sequels before the film was a success and disliked many of the sequels. See also: A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge.
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.
Linda Blair makes a cameo as the reporter who says "the people demand to know the truth."

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.
