- While it gets horribly, horribly subverted very quickly, the initial conversation between Casey and Ghostface is actually kind of nice, giving the impression that the mysterious caller is socially awkward and just wants somebody to talk to, with Casey being nice enough to not immediately hang up when called back and talk with him about horror movies.
- The scene in the climax where Sidney finds Dewey after being chased by the killer, before it's revealed he was stabbed in the back. The smile on his face when he sees that she's OK just shows why Dewey is a fan-favorite. And while the scene quickly turns into a Hope Spot once he falls over, the ending reveals that he survived.
- Throughout the film, it's clear that Tatum is a very caring and supportive best friend to Sidney. After Casey is murdered, Tatum lets Sidney sleep over so she won't be alone, and assures her she'll get to the house as soon as possible. And when Sidney is attacked, Tatum never leaves her side, defends her from Gale's prying, and calls Stu on his insensitivity to her the next day.
- And when Sidney starts thinking that something's wrong with her for having a fear of intimacy, Tatum assures her that she's got a good reason to have that fear and doesn't have to put herself down.
- Gale shows her softer side and looks genuinely pleased when Dewey admits he may have a thing for her. The movie doesn't confirm if she was partly using him to get a story, but it leans more towards no and that she was sincere.
- Gale's cameraman showing excitement at the idea of getting an innocent man off death row.
- During the Bathroom Stall of Overheard Insults scene, one of the girls is firmly defending Sidney against her friend's accusation.
- While almost everyone else at the party is delighted by the news of Principal Himbry's murder, the normally macabre Randy is subdued and respectful.
- Sidney's relief when Randy and Dewey turn out to be alive, as well as getting to save her dad.
- A small moment, but when he's revealed to be tied up in the closet, she calls out "daddy". It's the first time she says that in the film, and it's hinted she may have suspected him as her mother's killer. Now she knows he's not, and calling him "daddy" could be interpreted as a sort of relief that he was always her loving father and never did anything to hurt her mother.
