10 Horror Movie Mistakes Directors Refused To Fix Because The Acting Was Too Good

Phones play a pretty big part in Wes Craven's satirical triumph Scream.

The very first scene we get from the movie involves one, as Casey Becker first meets Ghostface. The device also comes into play during the movie's most famous accident-prone moment.

Towards the film's thrilling climax, Sidney Prescott turns the tables on killers Billy and Stu, taunting them in much the same way they taunted her. She is on the phone with a bloodied Stu, played by Matthew "Yes, that is Shaggy" Lillard, as Billy goes mad behind him.

The character portrayed by Skeet Ulrich grabs the phone from Stu, screams at Sidney, and then throws it back at his accomplice. However, because of all the fake blood, the headset got stuck to his hand and then flung off right into the back of Lillard's head.

Like an absolute pro, the victim of this phone-based assault carried on with a quiet "Ow" before yelling "You hit me with the phone!"

Although, to keep this PG, we've left out two words from that section of dialogue.

This really fit Stu's manchild character, so props to Lillard for quite literally using his head.
