10 Reasons Movie Scenes Turned Out THAT WAY
9. The Changing Mask - Scream
If you've seen the original Scream more than a few times, there's a good chance you might notice that the design of Ghostface's mask changes several times throughout the film.
Hell, it even changes back and forth during a few individual scenes, most notably throughout the iconic opening sequence where Drew Barrymore's Casey Becker is killed.
The reason for this is that, when Scream began shooting, the production hadn't yet secured permission from mask designer Fun World to use the Ghostface mask, and so to cover themselves legally, they started shooting with a knock-off mask from KNB Effects which was just distinct enough to avoid a lawsuit.
However, once everything was worked out with Fun World, additional photography was conducted with their original mask, therefore explaining why the mask design subtly changes from shot to shot in several scenes - namely Casey's death and also that of Principal Himbry (Henry Winkler).
It hardly ruins the movie, but it is fascinating that a glossy studio horror film didn't have the basics locked down before shooting began.
