Max's Murder was added in re-shoots.

Helen - "Missy, said in that location was a friend named Billy Blue)"and (Ray - "No its not its truthful" Helen "Aye I dont think and then Ray"). In real life, the two later fall in love and marry.
The second flick scripted by Kevin Williamson that stars a female atomic number 82 from Party of 5 (1994). Jennifer Love Hewitt here. And Neve Campbell in Scream (1996).
