Short description

Following the latest Ghostface killings, the four survivors leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.

What's left behind the scenes

  • During the filming of her character's fight with the killer in the Ghostface mask, Courteney Cox performed all the stunts herself.
  • Neve Campbell refused to return to the screen as Sidney due to financial disagreements with Paramount Pictures.
  • Jason's character is named after Jason Voorhees, the main antagonist of the "Friday the 13th" franchise.
  • Laura Crane's surname is a reference to Marion Crane from the thriller 'Psycho'.
  • The name of the wine shop, Abe’s Snake, is a reference to Wes Craven, the director of the first four films in the series, who filmed adult movies under the pseudonym Abe Snake in the 1970s.
  • The first film in the series to feature an additional short scene after the final credits.
  • Danny, Sam's boyfriend, is not involved in the murders, yet his girlfriend suspects him—similar to how the plot developed around Derek, whose innocence Sidney doubted in the second installment of the series.
  • At the beginning of the film, Tara mentions she can join the Omega Beta Zeta sorority—Cici Cooper was a member of a different chapter of this sorority in Scream 2.
  • Costume designer Avery Plewes created 200 costumes for filming scenes in the subway with 140 extras. Approximately 45 extras changed outfits after exiting the train, then reappeared on the platform in different costumes.
  • Jason wears a t-shirt featuring the title of Dario Argento's film 'Four Flies on Grey Velvet'. A poster for another of the director's films, 'Crimson Labyrinth', can also be seen at Jason's house.
  • Representatives of Radio Silence Productions stated that the absence of actress Neve Campbell "noticeably" changes the plot, and they decided to focus on other characters, particularly the four survivors from the previous film in the franchise. It was also stated that Campbell may return to the franchise in future films.
  • When Sam and Tara leave the police station and push through a crowd of reporters, Gale Weathers approaches them. Sam tries to slap Gale in the face and misses, but Tara then manages to hit the journalist. This is a reference to a scene from the first movie in which Sidney slapped Gale, who had also caught her upon leaving the police station.
  • The name of Sam's lover, Danny Brackett, is a reference to Annie Brackett from the movie 'Halloween'.
  • According to the directors, in the scene where Ghostface enters Dr. Stone's office, they intentionally used the same door-knocking sound effect as in the movie X.
  • According to the directors, in the scene where Ghostface enters Dr. Stone's office, they intentionally used the same door-knocking sound effect as in the movie 'X'.
  • The film's finale features footage from a fictional movie supposedly directed by Richie Kirsch (played by Jack Quaid). It utilizes fragments of video material that Quaid actually filmed in his spare time, as well as scenes shot specifically for Matthew Betinelli and Tyler Gillett's film, all voiced by Quaid himself.
  • Chad Mezger-Martin's fate mirrors the plot surrounding Dewey Riley from the second film in the series: both Chad and Dewey are wounded near the end of the movie, but they survive and are carried away from the crime scene on stretchers by paramedics.
  • Danny, Sam's boyfriend, is not involved in the murders, yet his partner suspects him—similar to how the plot developed around Derek, whose innocence Sidney doubted in the second part of the series.
  • Mindy and Anika eat popcorn from an aluminum package rather than a cup—this is a reference to the opening scene of the first film, in which Casey Becker prepares popcorn.
  • Before his death, Dr. Stone watches the film 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'.
  • According to screenwriter Kevin Williamson, Kirby Reed would have returned to the franchise sooner, but the filmmakers were unable to track down Hayden Panettiere, the actress who played the role; she didn't even have an agent and could only be contacted in 2019 (which is why she was absent from the franchise's fifth film).
  • Detective Wayne Bailey, who turns out to be the maniac, is avenging the death of his son, Richie. His character is an analogue of Nancy Loomis from "Scream 2," who sought revenge for her deceased son, Billy.
  • According to the film's production designer, Michelle Laliibert, no props remained from the previous films in the franchise, so everything had to be recreated from scratch.
  • Representatives of Radio Silence Productions stated that the absence of actress Neve Campbell among the film's cast "noticeably" changes the plot, and they decided to focus on other characters, particularly the four survivors from the previous film in the franchise. It was also stated that Campbell may return to the franchise in future films.
  • At the beginning of the film, Tara mentions that she could join the Omega Beta Zeta sorority—Cee Cee Cooper was a member of a different chapter of this sorority in 'Scream 2'.
  • In Ghostface's shrine, you can see the clothes Tealum Riley was wearing at the time of her death, as well as a fax from Jennifer Jolie's house.
  • The subway scene was filmed without a green screen. According to cinematographer Brett Jutkiewicz, the filmmakers physically moved the subway train towards and away from the platform set.
  • Costume designer Avery Plush created 200 costumes for the subway scenes featuring 140 extras. About 45 of the extras changed clothes after getting off the train, appearing on the platform in different outfits.

  • Christopher Stone, Sam's psychotherapist, shares the same last name as another victim of the masked killer from the third part of the series—Steve Stone.
  • The apartment number where the Carpenter sisters live is 1939. This is a reference to director Wes Craven, who was born in 1939.
  • Neve Campbell refused to return to the screen as Sidney due to financial disputes with Paramount Pictures.
  • Courtney Cox, who played Gale, was the first member of the cast to sign a contract to return to her role from previous films in the franchise. She later said that she signed the contract without a second thought because she enjoys playing Gale (the actress even jokingly stated that she would play Gale without any fee).
  • The character Jason is named after Jason Voorhees, the main antagonist of the 'Friday the 13th' franchise.
