9 Horror Movies That Reward You For Paying Attention

9. Tori Spelling Really DID Play Sidney In The Movie Of 'Scream'

While Wes Craven's Scream is a movie that's fondly remembered for its terrifying scares, its shocking kills, and the jaw-dropping reveal of the picture's two killers, there are also several tender moments dotted throughout the film.

One particularly softer moment comes when Sidney Prescott stays the night at the Riley resident, with her best pal Tatum keen to keep an eye on Sid. As Tatum gets giddily excited at the idea that the horrors of Woodsboro could make for a great movie, a sincere and caring Dewey offers up a young Meg Ryan as being the perfect choice to play Sidney in just such a film.

In response, Neve Campbell's character thanks Dewey but adds that, with her luck, they'd cast Tori Spelling in that role.

This was all a brief exchange in the grand scheme of that 1996 picture, yet those who remembered that shared moment in time were rewarded when Scream 2 rolled around. There, with the events of Scream brought to life in 'Stab', it is indeed Tori Spelling who is playing Sidney.

Spelling would also have a significant part to play in Scary Movie 2 - with Scary Movie having at one point been the intended title for Scream.
