** The entirety of Sidney's first encounter with Ghostface, for both of them. Ghostface lures Sidney out to the porch to sneak into the house, then scares her enough over the phone to go back inside and lock the door, putting the security chain on it. Then the killer attacks from the closet. Ghostface knocks Sid down, but she seemingly instinctively kicks his legs out from under him, buying her precious seconds. While he gets on top of her with the knife she holds him off long enough and effectively enough he has to grab her head and knock it against the hardwood floor to stun her long enough to get an opening to kill her. But Sid recovers before he can capitalize on that, kicking him away and heading for the door. . . but she doesn't have time to undo the chain, so has to run upstairs (earlier, Sid had mocked horror films as "some killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can't act who's always running up the stairs when she should be going out the front door," Ghostface made Sidney engage in exactly that). Sid manages to lock the killer out of her room and start dialing 911 on her computer, forcing Ghostface to retreat.

** How different the scene is from most slasher movies. Much of the appeal of slasher films is a sort of morbid curiosity, a dark glee in seeing how skillfully and creatively the killer (and film crew) will dispatch this particular crop of victims. But the scene plays up actual ''horror'', first with Ghostface essentially psychologically torturing Casey, then the adrenaline-filled chase, her weakling calling out to her parents after she's been stabbed, then dying while her parents hear her last breaths over the phone, and finally forced to see her gutted and strung up on a tree. It leans into the terror and tragedy in a way few slashers have done before: a young woman has just been brutally murdered, and this scene forces you to confront that. It tells you in no uncertain terms what to expect: this is not a bloody fun movie. This is a '''Scary Movie'''.

* The principal gets one for chewing out two students for dressing up as Ghostface after two murders just happened and scaring Sydney, who had barely escaped Ghostface the night previously. Could he be described as a DeanBitterman? Probably. But he gets points for being mad at the right people and [[JerkassHasAPoint actually having a point]].
