Short description
While Sidney Prescott lives in safely guarded seclusion, bodies begin dropping around the Hollywood set of STAB 3, the latest movie based on the gruesome Woodsboro killings.
What's left behind the scenes

- The creators wanted to bring back the character of Randy Meeks; it was proposed that he had survived the events of the second film. Ultimately, however, the idea was deemed too far-fetched. Nevertheless, Randy does appear in the movie via a video recording he made for his friends in case he himself became a victim of the killer.
- Neve Campbell was filming 'Scream 3', 'Drowning Mona' (2000), and 'Party of Five' all at the same time. Since her character in 'Drowning Mona' had long hair, she had to wear a special wig for her role as Sidney.
