Here’s what you probably DIDN’T know about the movie that changed horror forever:

Ghostface holding a bloody knife, ready to strike. His iconic mask is in full focus, and the background shows an ominous setting of a hallway.

The Mask: THE ICONIC Ghostface mask??? It wasn’t even originally made for the movie!!! It was a random find from a costume designer while location scouting!!! Talk about fate, right??? Wes Craven loved it so much, they scrapped all other ideas and BOOM—Ghostface was born!!! 😱

Drew Barrymore’s Death Scene: Drew was ACTUALLY supposed to be the main character, Sidney!!! But she had this CRAZY idea—what if she got killed off in the FIRST scene instead??? She thought it would totally throw the audience off, and she was RIGHT!!! An absolute icon for taking that risk!!! 🔪🎬

The Phone Calls: The creepy phone calls from Ghostface??? Those weren’t pre-recorded!!! Roger L. Jackson (the voice of Ghostface) was ACTUALLY on set, speaking to the actors live to get their real, terrified reactions!!! The SCREAMS were 100% genuine, and that’s what makes them so bone-chilling!!!
