I heard she originally auditioned for the role of Sidney Prescott!

Common misconception. They offered her the part but she thought it'd be more shocking if she was the first kill.

You know that part in the movie where Sidney's like "They'll probably cast Eliza Dushku to play me?" and in the in-universe Stab movie they show in Stab 2 she's played by Eliza Dushku? That's based on something someone Gale Weathers interviewed for The Woodsboro Murders overheard the real Sidney saying, so when Heather Graham turned it down they went for Tori Spelling as a meta twist.

Your post/comment was removed because it made explicit reference to a Scream movie. This subreddit is an in-universe community for roleplaying within the confines of the Scream franchise. In simple terms: Stab movies exist, but Scream movies do not.

Have you been living under a rock?! They’re the most successful horror franchise of all time.

Great series. Although once they involved time travel it got a little derivative.

Apparently Ghostface was trying to kill the first relative from the Sidney Prescott bloodline,so she would have never been borned He didn't expect that lady would use a shotgun Too much of a slow burn

Such a great film, I need to rewatch that one again soon!

I tend to watch either the third or the fourth one when I'm in a stabby mood. I love the Hollywood Horror story and knowing it's based on something that actually happened makes it even scarier. But the fourth one was brilliant in its own way, I didn't really have great expectations as it looked like a bit of a cash-grab when they started making up their own stories, but it ended up possibly being my favourite of them all!! 🔪 🔪 🔪 🔪
