Movies directly referenced in Scream
Friday the 13th Part 1 and 2 are used to quiz Casey in the beginning. Halloween is shown at the party and Casey says it's her favorite movie. Nightmare on Elm Street is mentioned in the first phone call and the janitor (Wes Craven) is dressed like Freddy Kruger. Randy mentions Prom Night in the video store and says "there's a very simple formula, everyone's a suspect." Stu says only a guy could be the killer and Tatum references Basic Instinct. In the video store a girl asks Randy the name of "that werewolf movie with the mom from E.T." He answers "The Howling." Evil Dead, Hellraiser, Terror Train, and The Fog are mentioned in quick succession at the party as they discuss what movie to watch. Randy tells the group that Jamie Lee Curtis "waited until she was legit to show tits" in Trading Places. The streets are deserted because of the curfew and the town is compared to The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Billy says he was watching The Exorcist and it reminded him of his relationship with Sidney because it was edited for T.V. Tatum calls Ghostface "Casper." Randy calls Billy "Leatherface." Tatum says she's going to rent All The Right Moves to see Tom Cruise's dick. Billy compares Sid to Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs before they have sex. He mentions Hannibal Lecter again later. Ghostface asks Sidney "Are You Alone in the House?" over the phone. Billy mentions Norman Bates and does the "We all go a little mad sometimes" quote when he reveals himself as the killer. Billy says they used dyed cornstarch for blood like in Carrie. Randy calls Stu "Alicia" after Stu repeats "as if" like Alicia Silverstone's character in Clueless.
