Beyond the identity of the killer(s) being revealed, Scream's big twist is that there's not one but two culprits running around as Ghostface - Billy and Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard).

This shock reveal is also slyly foreshadowed half-way through the movie when Principal Himbry (Henry Winkler) chews out two students who played a prank dressed as Ghostface.

It's obviously missed by just about everyone on their first viewing, but when watched within the context of the entire film itself on a repeat viewing, it's clearly a cheeky wink to in-the-know fans.
