Matthew Lillard has an uncredited cameo at a sorority party in
Scream 2.
[20] He revealed in a 2009 interview that Stu was originally intended to be the killer in
Scream 3, having survived his apparent death. From prison he was to orchestrate new Ghostface attacks on high school students, ultimately targeting Sidney.
[21][22] Following the
Columbine High School massacre, which took place shortly before production began, this plot was abandoned and the script was rewritten without Stu to avoid presenting violence and murder in a high school setting.
