Scream Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Stu Macher — Stu is killed when Sidney drops a television on his head, not electrocuted; the entry says 'electrocuted' which is incorrect.

Casey Becker — Casey Becker is not the first character killed on-screen in the franchise; Steve Orth is killed first.

Casey Becker — The entry states Heather Graham played Casey Becker in Scream 2, but she played a fictionalized version of the character in the Stab film, not the same character.

Stu Macher Killer Persona — Stu's Ghostface mask was a modified 'Pez' mask, not a 'Father Death' costume.

Stu Macher Killer Persona — Stu's death scene involves him being electrocuted when a TV is dropped on him by Sidney, but he is not later crushed by a TV set; the description of a second crushing event is inaccurate.

Billy Loomis' House — Billy appears as a hallucination in Scream (2022) and Scream VI is incorrect; he only appears in Scream (2022).

Dewey Riley's House — The claim that Dewey makes a posthumous cameo in Scream 7 is not based on widely-known, established canon, as Scream 7 has not been released and no such cameo has been confirmed in official canon.

Dewey Riley House — Dewey's real name is Dwight; 'Dewey' is just a nickname he got stuck with at a young age, as revealed to Gale in Scream 3 (2000). — This is incorrect. Dewey's full name is Dwight 'Dewey' Riley, but the nickname explanation is not given in Scream 3; it is menti

Dewey Riley House — Dewey was shot in the back in Scream (1996) and later walks with a limp in Scream 2, though the specific cause of a severed nerve is not established in canon. — This is inaccurate. Dewey is stabbed in the back (not shot) in Scream (1996). The limp in Scream 2

Woodsboro High School — The entry states the original Ghostface murders began 'twenty-six years before the events of the 2022 film.' In Scream (2022), the original murders are stated to have occurred 25 years prior, not 26.

Woodsboro High School — The entry states Deputy Judy Hicks 'survived the 2011 murders without being attacked or targeted.' In Scream 4 (2011), Deputy Hicks is attacked by Ghostface at the Stab-a-thon; she is stabbed in the shoulder and survives.
