(At around sixteen minutes) The green outfit worn by Parker Posey while on-set is the same one worn by Courteney Cox in Scream (1996). All sets for "Stab 3" were replicas of the originals, since the sets were destroyed after Scream (1996) wrapped.
David Arquette and Courteney Cox met on the set of Scream (1996), dated while shooting Scream 2 (1997), and married a month before principal photography of this movie began. They cut short their honeymoon in order to film it. Cox added "Arquette" to her name, as seen in the credits.
Patrick Dempsey was hired the day before shooting began. He had one night to learn three big dialogue-heavy scenes.
Neve Campbell's contract allowed her to be on the set for just twenty days, which is why Sidney has less screentime than in the other films. As a result of her role being reduced, more emphasis was put on the supporting characters. Campbell's availability only amounted to three weeks in total, forcing the filmmakers to shoot around her schedule.
The house used during the climax, where most of the killing takes place, is the same house used as a school in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). The house would later be used again for the ending of The Neon Demon (2016).
Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith: (At around nineteen minutes) Jay and Silent Bob, the popular drug dealer characters from Clerks (1994) and other movies, appear as tourists visiting Sunrise Studios who spot Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and mistake her for Connie Chung.
