As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked. You have been warned.
- In contrast to Scream 3, which thus far is the only Scream movie to feature a single killer (as far as we know), Scream 4 foreshadows through Stab in the opening scene that there will be two revealed Ghostface killers again. They also, for once, kill in tandem and in costume at the same time.
- At the end of Scream 4, just when Jill is about to shoot Gale, Sid sneaks up and uses a defibrillator on her head.
- Which is then followed up by the Not Quite Dead Jill attempting to sneak up on them, and Sidney spinning around and shooting her.Dewey: [explaining how he was taken down] [The killer] snuck up behind me.
Sidney: They always do. <bang!>
- Which is then followed up by the Not Quite Dead Jill attempting to sneak up on them, and Sidney spinning around and shooting her.
- The various times when Sidney busts out karate kicks on the killer. Between Scream 3 and 4, she has taken some levels in badassery, and she sets a quota for horror characters everywhere.
- Just in general that now Sidney isn’t just defending herself. She is running towards the danger to defend others.
- Kirby's first conversation with Ghostface is pretty awesome on her part. Although she wasn't aware she was really talking to the killer at the time.
- Kirby winning the trivia round Ghostface springs on her. Then, risking her life by leaving her safe spot to attempt to rescue Charlie. Too bad the bastard was Jill's accomplice the entire time and killed Kirby after she rescued him....or did he? (The fifth film reveals she indeed survived.)
- This could be a subversion. Since Charlie had the knife with him, chances are Jill would've let Kirby thought she won regardless of what answer she gave. Jill did end up killing Charlie, but she needed to wait until everyone necessary was rounded up so she could set up her Wounded Gazelle Gambit.
- Sidney smashing a picture over Ghostface's head.
