Filmmakers threw together a hot, young cast led by Neve Campbell. Skeet Ulrich, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Jamie Kennedy, and Rose McGowan make up the main cast. Drew Barrymore is featured heavily in all promotional materials for the flick, while only being in one scene of the movie.

The director appeared briefly in the film as the school janitor, referencing one of his other films, A Nightmare on Elm Street, by wearing Freddy Krueger's famous sweater/hat combo!

Various characters throughout the movie reference horror films from the past that inspired this flick. Some of the films referenced are The Howling, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Prom Night, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, The Silence of the Lambs, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Kevin Williamson expertly crafted a terrifying yet hilarious script. Pictured above is Matthew Lillard delivering one of the most genius lines in the film.

While the film is quite funny throughout, there are actually many moments that induce real fear in the viewer. One of these is at the very beginning when Ghostface delivers one of the creepiest lines ever written to Barrymore's character, Casey.

6. The Geek

Jamie Kennedy's Randy kind of serves as a harbinger to the unlucky residents of Woodsboro. Throughout the film, he enlightens the rest of the cast on how to survive the killings that are going on in their quaint little town. Being a horror geek, he knows every rule to surviving and he will do anything to save the day and get the girl.

5. The Gale Weathers

Courtney Cox's foul-mouthed reporter character brought a great deal more than her sass to the game. She brought very chunky highlights and, as the film series progressed, even more unforgettable and cringe-worthy hairstyles.

4. The Incredibly Meta Sequels

With the success of the first film, the studio immediately produced two very self-aware sequels, including a movie-within-a-movie plot where the characters see their past horrors relived on the big screen in a film called 'Stab'. More than a decade later, the fourth film was released. These movies not only poked fun at the horror genre but at themselves, resulting in a ton of fun and a really enjoyable experience overall. There are now rumors that a Scream television series will soon be coming to MTV.

3. The Resurgence of Horror

After Scream debuted, the horror genre was pushed back into mainstream cinema and many big studios wanted to cash in on Dimension's success. Thus, an influx of teen slasher flicks made their way to the theater and into our hearts.

2. The Garage Door

Rose McGowan's character faces a rather harsh (and probably the coolest) death in the movie. Don't lie. It made you realize a fear that you never knew you had.

1. The Survivor Girl

Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott is the true HBIC. Losing her mom in the pivotal years of her teenage life really made her grow up so she no longer had time for anyone's shit, much less a dude wearing a mask while trying to stab her to death. She is the survivor girl to end all survivor girls.
