As we all eagerly await Scream‘s January 2022 theatrical release, Airbnb, Paramount and Spyglass Media are teaming up to celebrate the film with a stay at Stu Macher’s (Matthew Lillard) house from the original film (it even features Ghostface’s knife scratch marks on the doors and includes the iconic “brick” phone)! Those Scream superfans who opt for the in-person experience will get to meet everyone’s favorite small-town sheriff, Dewey Riley (aka David Arquette), who will be hosting the totally killer overnight stay.
For those of us who don’t live in California or are unable to travel, original Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson will host an online experience called “Secrets of Scream” to regale guests with the behind-the-scenes secrets of the film and details of the upcoming 2022 release that only he knows. “Anything anybody wants to know about Scream, the filming of it, the secrets or anything that hasn’t been revealed yet will be discussed,” Williamson said. “It will be exciting to go back down memory lane.” In reference to the new film, Williamson said: “When I watched it I thought it was very nostalgic. There was something about it that was new and fresh and had all of these new characters racing through it, but…it has a little bit of a warm fuzzy center to it.”
While Airbnb will make a one-time donation to Ween Dream, which provides free Halloween costumes to children in need nationwide, 100% of all proceeds from the “Secrets of Scream” virtual experience will be donated to The Trevor Project, thanks to Williamson’s suggestion. “The Trevor Project is a charity that’s near and dear to me. I’ve been a part of it for a long time,” Williamson said, “and I believe the range for attempted suicide is almost five times higher for gay teens [compared to heterosexual teens]. I just feel like that’s too big a number. Obviously any number is too big, but that statistic is kind of shocking.”
Full details of the events can be found below:
For the “Secrets of Scream” Online Experience: On Thursday, October 28th, Kevin will host an Online Experience that will give guests an inside look at the secrets of the Scream franchise, including the cast, characters, plot twists and more. Those interested can book a spot on Tuesday, October 12, at 1 pm EDT at airbnb.com/SecretsofSCREAM. 100% of all proceeds from the “Secrets of Scream” will be donated to The Trevor Project.
For the Ultimate Scream Airbnb Experience: “Dewey” will host three, one-night stays for up to four people at the Northern California estate on October 27, October 29 and October 31 for only $5* a night. Interested guests can request to book the three individual, one-night stays through the Airbnb platform at airbnb.com/halloween when booking opens at 1pm EDT on October 12. During their stays, guests will get to experience all the scariest elements of the original SCREAM, including:
- A virtual greeting at check-in from Dewey (as long as Ghostface doesn’t catch him first).
- The chance to explore the SCREAM house in all its original glory, from knife marks on the doors to the garage where Dewey’s sister Tatum met her unfortunate demise.
- A movie marathon featuring all four SCREAM films (on VHS, of course) to get caught up ahead of the next SCREAM release.
- A dedicated phone line for reaching Ghostface, in case victims (ahem, guests) dare to ask any questions or make requests — but watch out, he might just call the house, too.
- Classic 90s snack favorites, like Jiffy Pop, ice cream with all the Reddi-whip you could ever want and pizza, if you’re able to stomach it.
- The chance to take home unique SCREAM memorabilia, including a DVD bundle of the first four SCREAM films, Woodsboro High gear, SCREAM (2022) posters and more.
