‘The longest night in horror history’

The final sequence where Sidney Prescott and her friends face off against Stu Macher and Billy Loomis - who have been working together as Ghostface - took place in and around the character’s house, and proved to be a very difficult shoot for the production team.

In the end, ‘Scene 118’ took 21 days to film, even though the sequence was 42 minutes long, as it featured the complex party scene, the bulk of the movie’s kills and the longest chase sequence in the picture.

When production finally wrapped on scene, the team jokingly made T-shirts that read, “I survived scene 118”, and referred to the sequence as “the longest night in horror history”.
