Scream 2 picture

Trivia: There have been rumors ever since the release of "Scream 2" that filmmaker Robert Rodriguez actually directed the scenes from the movie-within-the-movie "Stab." (This would explain why "Scream 4" states that Rodriguez directed "Stab.") However, there are also conflicting reports that director Wes Craven filmed the scenes for "Stab," and even some theories that both directors worked on the "Stab" scenes. To this day, the truth is unclear.

Friday the 13th picture

Trivia: In the scene where Alice finds Bill's body hanging on the back of the door to the generator room, the producers purposely did not tell Adrianne King what they were going to do to the body nor did they let her see the body beforehand. When she saw the body during filming it was for the first time. The scream she produced was genuine as it scared her badly. Needless to say, that entire scene was shot in one take.

Midsommar picture

Trivia: During the feast in which Christian finds a pubic hair inside of his food, look closely at the drinks on the table. While the camera never calls direct attention to this, if you look closely, Christian's drink is very slightly darker than everyone else's. Earlier in the film, the camera briefly passes over a mural that depicts a woman collecting menstrual blood in a cup. (Along with the image of a woman cutting off pubic hairs, like the one Christian found in his food.) It seems Christian's drink has been laced with something he didn't expect.
