In 1996, the horror genre was given a much-needed boost whenWes CravensScreamhit theatres.
But what exactly happened to get to that point?
What did the Santa Rosa City School District governing board do to warrant such a petty credit?

We made a decision to go to Santa Rosa because the high school was perfect for our movie.
When we got up there they changed their minds.
I think basically someone didnt like the script.

Wes Craven did a great job of making us all feel validated.
We have 1,700 kids that need an education.
The filmmakers want to shut down wings, shut down the cafeteria.
Any reasonable person knows that theres paperwork that needs to be worked out.
The board cant really make decisions based on content issues of the film, Pugh said.
Marianne Maddalena said.We felt upset about it, which is why we had the credit.
A year after the murder of her mother, a teenage girl is terrorized by a masked killer who targets her and her friends by using scary movies as part of a deadly game.
In the end, everything worked out for the best.
I guess that was their attempt to try and make a statement or upset the board or something…
I guess theyve got to do what they think theyve got to do."
