Trivia

1. Wes Craven submitted eight different cuts to the MPAA before it was passed.
2. One scene in Kevin Williamson's screenplay was described simply as "Wes Craven will make it scary."
3. (At around one minute) Paulette Patterson, who plays the usher who hands masks to Maureen (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Phil (Omar Epps), won her role in a contest sponsored by MTV.
4. Robert Rodriguez directed scenes of "Stab", the movie-within-a-movie. Rodriguez directed the Casey Becker (Heather Graham) scene and the Sidney and Billy (Luke Wilson) scene.
5. According to a rumor, the identity of Ghostface was changed after the original script was leaked on the internet, it was Derek (Jerry O'Connell) and Hallie (Elise Neal) in the original ending. This was referenced in Scream 3 (2000), where all of the actors and actresses on "Stab 3" were kept in the dark about the script for this reason.
6. Neve Campbell would shoot Party of Five (1994) on Mondays and Tuesdays during the day, and spent Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday on this movie, most of which were night shoots. On Sundays, she would work all night until 6 a.m., go home for fifteen minutes to shower off all the fake blood, and immediately go to the Party of Five (1994) set to shoot all day, all without sleeping.
7. The cast were not informed of the identity of the killer until the last day of principal photography. Also, the cast did not receive the last ten pages of the shooting script until it was time to film the scenes contained therein. Furthermore, the last ten pages of the shooting script were printed on gray paper in order to deter illicit duplication of them. All cast members were required to sign confidentiality clauses as parts of their respective contracts that precluded them from discussing the outcome of the story and the killer's identity.
