You pretty much have to be gay to survive
Don't f--k with the original
Police officers will always die (unless they're Bruce Willis)
The original ending is now the false ending.
The killer is always right behind you.
While it's said near the end (and almost always true), the killer being right behind you is never specified as a rule. Deputies Hoss and Perkins further say that "I'll be right back" is no longer a (literal) death sentence.

Totally fricken awesome!

When do you drink at Stabathon?
Every time someone can't get a cellphone signal
Every time someone shuts the refrigerator door and there’s a harmless character there
Every time someone screams "no"
Whenever the hell you want
While it's fairly safe to assume that partygoers are also free to drink whenever they want, the official rules of Stabathon are, according to Robbie and Charlie, to drink 1. whenever someone can't get a cell signal, 2. whenever someone closes the refrigerator door and ohmygod there's that harmless character there, and 3. whenever someone screams the word "no."
What movie does Charlie want to watch at Kirby's?
Halloween
Stab 7
Charlie wants to watch Stab 7, saying that no one cancels his marathon. However, Scream 4 clearly shows the beginning of Stab 1 at Stabathon. If the party was broken up right after the police arrived, not NEARLY enough time had passed for the crowd to have watched six movies.
Nightmare on Elm Street
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Did Trevor find the after-party?
No, he found the anti-party.
When Trevor asks if he found the after-party, Kirby responds, "No, you found the anti-party and it's invitation only." Trevor was played by Nico Tortorella, who plays Josh on the show Younger.
No, after-parties are SO last decade.
Yeah, bro, come on in!
What the hell is an after-party?

Which character is duct-taped to a chair?
Kirby
Robbie
Charlie
Charlie is attacked by Ghostface, who then duct-tapes him to a chair for Kirby to discover when the lights come on. This is a throwback to Scream 1, when Steve was tied to a chair as a gory surprise for Casey.
Trevor
Who are the killers?
Trevor and Robbie
Jill and Kirby
Jill and Charlie
In the second male-female killing team of the series, the killers are revealed to be Charlie and Jill. This continues the pattern of one killer having a personal vendetta against Sidney (Billy, Mrs. Loomis, Roman, and Jill) and one who just killed for the fun of it (Stu, Mickey, Charlie, and also kind of Roman, who wasn't very mentally stable).
Trevor and Charlie
How is Trevor killed?
Shot in the head
While stabbing him in the back would have a certain level of betrayal poetic justice, Jill opts to kill her cheating ex with a gun. She shoots him twice, once in the groin and once in the head. Technically, it's the head shot that kills him, but the groin shot probably doesn't help.
Sliced throat
Electrocuted by a TV

What causes Gale and Dewey to suspect Jill?
She knew where Gale had been stabbed.
Jill mentions to Dewey that she and Gale have matching shoulder wounds, a detail that hadn't been mentioned on the news. Gale asks how Jill knew this and they immediately realize they'd been had.
She knew her mom had been stabbed.
She didn't edit the footage carefully enough and they saw her on tape.
Sidney woke up and told them.
Where is the final showdown?
Stabathon
Kirby's house
Jill's house
The hospital
Jill plans her "Become This Generation's Sidney" crusade to end at Kirby's house, but wakes up in the hospital to find out that Sidney is still alive. She even comments on the absurdity of a hospital showdown, saying, "The ending was supposed to be at the house. This is just silly!"
To what horror movie character does Jill compare Sidney in the ICU?
Leatherface
Jason Voorhes
Michael Myers
Sidney wakes up in the ICU to find Jill saying, "You just won't die, will you? Who are you, Michael f-ing Myers?" She is referring to the seemingly unkillable villain of the Halloween movies, who despite appearing to be killed each time, has somehow survived eight movies.
Sidney Prescott

What does Gale tell Jill is her one final word?
Help
Please
No
Clear
Gale tells Jill that her one last word is "clear," a signal to Sidney that the defibrillator has charged and is ready to use. Doctors and EMTs are trained to read cardiac outputs and interpret the results to determine what voltage should be used to shock a patient if needed. Without medical training, it's safe to assume Sidney just guessed.
How does Hicks survive the movie?
The bullet misses her completely.
She has a bullet-proof vest.
Hicks reveals that she survived being shot in the chest by Jill because she was wearing a bullet-proof vest under her uniform. While this is a sensible practice for all law enforcement (particularly ones chasing a masked serial killer), the presence of the vest was a throwback to Sidney and Roman wearing vests to survive being shot in Scream 3.
The bullet grazes her shoulder.
She doesn't survive.
Which character says the last line?
Jill
A group of newscasters
The movie ends with a line of TV reporters (the next generation of Gale Weathers) singing Jill's praises and giving her the fame she so desired. This could be considered a throwback to Scream 1 ending with Gale reporting on the tragedy. As far as official characters are concerned, the last one to speak is Sidney.

What is the final death count?
5
10
11
15
Tied with Scream 2, Scream 4 ends with a total body count of 15. These include the three deaths in the beginning, which are revealed to be part of the Stab movies, but they are counted because they are on-screen deaths. The deaths, in order, are Trudy, Sherrie, Rachel, Marnie, Jenny, Olivia, Rebecca, Hoss, Perkins, Kate, Robbie, Kirby, Trevor, Charlie, and Jill. However, in DVD commentary, Wes Craven refused to confirm Kirby's death, leaving open the possibility of her return if Scream 5 ever becomes a reality.
Where is Sid’s dad during the events of this movie?
Being held hostage by the killers, who plan to frame him
Out of the country on business
Safe at home in Woodsboro
It's never mentioned.
Neil Prescott's absence is never directly explained in the film. However, in the deleted scenes, Dewey mentions that Neil Prescott had passed away since the events of Scream 3.
