00:00Surprise, Sidney.
00:01When you think of slasher movies, chances are Scream will come to mind.
00:05But do you know about the real stabbing incident which happened during filming?
00:09Now we're not talking about a knife stabbing in the way of Ghostface, but instead with
00:14an umbrella.
00:15Yes, the scene towards the end of the movie in which Sidney surprises Billy from the closet
00:19dressed as Ghostface armed with an umbrella caused a real life accident.
00:24Skeet Ulrich was wearing a protective vest during the scene and when Sidney stabbed him
00:28twice in the chest, the second stabbing actually missed the vest and hit him in the chest.
00:34Ulrich has a scar on his chest from receiving open heart surgery as a child, and the second
00:39umbrella stab impacted directly with that scarred area of his chest.
00:43The cry of pain you hear from Billy as he falls to the ground is actually real, which Wes Craven
00:48opted to keep in the final cut of the movie due to the realism in Ulrich's reaction.
