Continuity mistake: When Vince is stabbed, when he pulls his head out of the car window and stands up, he is staring straight forward. It then cuts to another angle, and he is looking down.

Continuity mistake: When the friends are talking at the bar, when Wes and Mindy have their back and forth about how they're all suspects, in the shots facing Mindy, she's holding her pool stick perfectly still. But in the shots facing Wes, she's waving it back and forth rapidly. The angle it's leaning also changes position once during an edit.

Continuity mistake: When Sam and Ritchie are driving to Woodsboro, pay attention to the background outside the windows. Multiple times, the lighting goes from sunny-style lighting to darker, overcast-style lighting between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Liv says to Chad, "Aw, you gonna stalk me like a jealous boyfriend?" outside the school, her head goes from tilted 90 degrees to the left to suddenly being tilted about 45 degrees to the right between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Chad and Liv are talking about how he sent her a "Find My Fam" request outside the school, Chad starts to turn his head from Liv and towards Wes and Amber. Then, it cuts to a close-up of him, and he is suddenly looking at Liv again and turns his head towards Wes and Amber a second time.

Audio problem: When Ritchie tells Sam, "I'm coming with you," right before they leave the bowling alley, Ritchie's line seems strangely dubbed in. It just doesn't quite match his lip movements for the first half.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Sam and Ritchie are outside the bowling alley and Sam says, "I gotta go!" after getting the call from Wes, suddenly she has her hands up by her face instantly between cuts, right before Ritchie stops her. (It happens quickly, and she's facing away from the camera, so it can be hard to catch.)

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Sam's phone rings outside the bowling alley, and she pulls it out, the way she's holding it changes completely between shots.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: After Ritchie and Sam kiss outside the bowling alley, watch closely. Sam goes from having her left arm down below frame to up touching her chin instantly between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Ritchie approaches Sam outside the bowling alley and jokingly asks her what she just took, when the camera cuts from one angle to the next as Sam replies, "Your boner pills," the look on her face changes completely between cuts. Additionally, in the first shot, she was holding up an energy drink that should be visible in the second shot, but isn't.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when Tara mentions how she saw "Stab" once when she was a kid and the caller says "You live in Woodsboro and you don't know 'Stab?!'", the way Tara is holding the phone changes slightly between edits.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when Tara puts the mail down on the counter and stands next to it while on the phone, the position of her body and the mail changes slightly when it cuts from the medium shot to the wide shot.

Trivia: The film was initially planned to be a launching pad for a new children's television franchise, with at least two sequels and a follow-up TV show planned. However, the film became such a huge financial flop that the franchise never continued.

TedStixon

Trivia: The film set a new record for the lowest opening weekend gross for a film playing on over 2,000 screens, bringing in less than $450,000. It went on to gross only $1 million in its entire theatrical run.

TedStixon

Trivia: The first, and as of 2023 only, "Scream" movie in which someone is not killed in the opening scene. In every other "Scream" movie, two or more people are killed in the opening scene. This movie instead subverts the trope by implying Tara is killed before revealing that she survived her attack.

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Sam looks at the mask, then drops it, when we see it on the ground, there's suddenly a bit more blood on the mask than the previous shot where we saw it.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Sam and Tara sit down on the stairs after killing Bailey, Sam rests her head against her hand. After this happens, her mouth goes from open to closed between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: From when Detective Bailey wakes up to when he is killed by Sam, the blood pattern on his face is mostly consistent, but the volume of blood changes a few times. It was likely taken from multiple takes, and whenever they redid his bloody makeup, it wasn't quite an exact match.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: As Sam and Tara walk away at the end, in the first shot, they are shoulder-to-shoulder. When it cuts to the wide shot starting at the mask, you can see they are instantly standing about 3' apart.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Chad is stabbed, the little streams of blood running from his mouth and down his chin change positions a few times between cuts, revealing multiple different takes were used.
