Trivia

1. The last film directed by Wes Craven before he died from brain cancer on August 30, 2015 at the age of seventy-six.
2. The first "Scream" movie not to feature the song "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
3. Courteney Cox and David Arquette, who were married in 1999 after meeting during the making of Scream (1996), had filed for separation in October of 2010. Although there was slight tension on the set, they were said to have remained professional and respectful of each other. They later divorced in May of 2012.
4. The film is critical of horror remakes and the so-called "torture-porn" horror. Interestingly, director Wes Craven previously produced a handful of remakes of classic horror films, including Carnival of Souls (1998), The Hills Have Eyes (2006), and The Last House on the Left (2009) (the latter two being remakes of films that he directed).
5. The outfit that Trevor (Nico Tortorella) wears in the final act of the movie is the same outfit that Neil Prescott (Lawrence Hecht) wore in the final act of Scream (1996). Trevor is also bound and gagged identically to Neil Prescott.
6. In the deleted scenes, Dewey (David Arquette) explains to Gale (Courteney Cox) that Neil Prescott (Lawrence Hecht) (Sidney's father) has passed away since appearing in Scream 3 (2000) and this is the first time Sidney (Neve Campbell) has returned to Woodsboro since his death.
7. Despite being the most recognizable face of the "Scream" franchise, this was the first installment in the whole series where Ghostface had appeared on any of the North American posters or home media release covers (the character has previously appeared on international posters for the franchise).
8. Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere) reveals in Scream VI (2023) that when stabbed twice back in this movie by Charlie Walker (Rory Culkin), she was clinically dead for a few minutes and had to be revived by medics.
