Scream 3 (2000) is the third installment in the successful Scream series of satirical horror films.

The film stars Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox Arquette, each reprising their roles from the first two films.
This is the only part of the Scream trilogy not to be written by Kevin Williamson, as he was busy working on his short-lived television series Wasteland. Newcomer Ehren Kruger (writer of the film Arlington Road, who would later go on to write the highly successful screenplays for The Ring, The Ring Two and The Skeleton Key) was given the task of writing the script based on notes Williamson himself had sketched out.
