"There are certain RULES that one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie."
A year after her mother's death, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and her friends started experiencing some strange phone calls. They later learned the calls were coming from a crazed serial killer, in a white faced mask and a large black robe, looking for revenge. His phone calls usually consist of many questions, the main one being: What's your favorite scary movie? Along with much scary movie trivia, ending with bloody pieces of innocent lives scattered around the small town of Woodsboro. (source: Joss Oran)

01
IT WAS PARTIALLY INSPIRED BY A REAL LIFE STORY - Screenwriter Kevin Williamson was partially inspired by a real life series of student murders in Gainesville, Florida in 1990. Williams also cited his favorite movie for inspiration... Halloween (1978)!
02
DREW BARRYMORE WAS SET TO STAR - Barrymore changed her mind about playing the lead five weeks before production was set to begin. Barrymore instead suggested she play the teen terrorized by the killer in the opening scene, to cleverly trick the audience that a star of her stature would survive the movie.
03
THE FINAL SCENE TOOK 21 NIGHTS TO SHOOT - The 42-minute final act, taking place entirely during the party at Stu’s house, took 21 successive nights to shoot. The cast and crew jokingly called it “The longest night in horror history.”
