Scream Tidbits

Scream's "Rules to live buy if you want to survive"


1. Never run up the stairs when being chased by a knife-wielding psychopath.

2. Don't have sex or engage in debauchery of any kind.

3. Never, under any circumstances, utter the phrase, "I'll be right back." Cuz you won't be.

4. Don't answer the phone.

5. Most importantly, don't befriend Sidney Prescott -- people in her life tend to end up dead.

Funny how none of these rules are followed throughout any of the Scream movies. Maybe the body count wouldn't be so big if they did!

5 Fact You May Not Have Known About The Original Scream

1. Drew Barrymore was originally cast as Sidney, but had to change roles due to scheduling conflicts.

2. Reese Witherspoon and Brittany Murphy were considered for the role of Sidney too.

3. Dewey (David Arquette) was supposed to die from his injuries in the first film. Two versions were shot, including the one where he lives, and they were both tested to audiences with Dewey living being the more well received version.

4. Scream was originally titled “Scary Movie.” A spoof movie, Scary Movie, was made that directly parodied Scream. The sequel, Scary Movie 2, starred Anthony Anderson. Anthony Anderson currently stars in Scream 4 as well.

5. Roger L Jackson (voice of Ghostface), having never appeared in any of the four films, is actually on the set of every film to talk to the actors, a technique used to keep the mystery and chills realistic to them.
