| 1 | * ActingForTwo: Sam Underwood plays CreepyTwins Luke and Mark. |
| 2 | * ActorAllusion: This isn't the first time a character played by Nico Tortorella [[spoiler: [[Film/{{Scream}} was killed by his girlfriend]].]] |
| 3 | * DistancedFromCurrentEvents: The first season got hit with this ''twice''. The premier was pushed back after the Sandy Hook Shootings. And then the Boston Marathon Bombing caused the nearest-occurring episode to be put on at an irregular hour. |
| 4 | * DivorcedInstallment: The show [[http://www.etonline.com/tv/129326_Kevin_Williamson_Talks_The_Following_Scream_3_Inspiration/ began life]] as Kevin Williamson's script for ''Film/{{Scream 3}}'', which would've focused on a "fan club" for the Woodsboro killers and the ''[[ShowWithinAShow Stab]]'' movies seeking to [[FifteenMinutesOfFame become famous]]. Years later, he dusted off his old idea, removed all references to ''Scream'', and created a TV show out of it. |
| 5 | * DuelingShows: With the CW's ''Series/{{Cult}},'' and also NBC's ''Series/{{Hannibal}}.'' |
| 6 | * MoneyDearBoy: Creator/KevinBacon decided to star in a television series because he and his wife, Creator/KyraSedgwick, needed the income after they lost a large amount of money in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. |
| 7 | * PlayingAgainstType: |
| 8 | ** Most of Kevin Williamson’s previous works (''Series/DawsonsCreek'', ''Film/{{Scream}}'', ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'', ''Series/TheSecretCircle'') are teen-oriented fare, not super-dark murder mysteries. However, the apparent [[MetaFiction pop-cultural]] [[{{Postmodernism}} awareness]] is nothing new for ''Scream'' fans. |
| 9 | ** Kristine Sutherland, best known as Buffy the Vampire Slayer's beloved mother, now plays a deluded cult member who gives her teenage daughter to the cult leader as a sex slave. |
| 10 | * RunningGag / RuleOfThree: Meta-example with Annie Parisse (Agent Parker) since this is the third crime drama [[spoiler: she was killed off of]]. |
