It’s the Ghostface we never got to unmask. And somehow, that makes it even scarier. What do you think? Would you have preferred Hallie and Derek as the killers, or are you glad we got the Mrs. Loomis revenge arc? Let me know in the comments below.
Thanks to a now-infamous internet leak in early 1997, Kevin Williamson’s original screenplay for Scream 2 was scrapped just weeks before filming. What emerged was a rushed, frantic rewrite.
