We’ll all have the chance to see David Arquette reprise the role of Dewey Riley when the new Scream movie reaches theatres on January 14, 2022 – but next month some Scream super fans will have the chance to see him play the character again while they stay at Stu Macher’s house! Stu’s house is where the climax of the first Scream (watch it HERE) plays out, and the house’s real owners will be opening the doors to fans to stay there on October 27th, 29th, and 31st. Arquette, in character as Dewey, will be greeting the fans virtually.
Booking through Airbnb.com opens at 1pm Eastern on Tuesday, October 12th. Here’s the information, written as if Dewey Riley were the host:
As the local sheriff, it’s my duty to be your host to keep everything under control for your stay at the SCREAM house. What could possibly go wrong? In honor of SCREAM’s 25th anniversary and the upcoming 2022 film, face your fears and stay the night where Ghostface’s terrors began.
Step back in time circa 1996, where you’ll be instantly transported to the town of Woodsboro and all the mischance that surrounds it. You and up to three guests can stay the night (if you think you can handle it)… Ghostface has returned to terrorize our town, so we’ll need to be careful to avoid any encounters (we all know he loves to make an entrance).
As the next brave souls to spend a night at the SCREAM house, you’ll get to experience all the scariest elements of SCREAM in the home where the first film’s most thrilling and suspenseful moments took place, including:
– A virtual greeting at check-in from me (as long as Ghostface doesn’t catch me first).
– The chance to explore the SCREAM house in all its original glory, from knife marks on the doors to the garage where my 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 if you dare to reach Ghostface directly — 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.
– Whether you enjoy a true thrill or are just a scary movie fanatic, get ready for a one-of-a-kind sleepover commemorating all things SCREAM. And don’t forget to catch me in the upcoming SCREAM, in theatres around the world starting in January 2022.
To celebrate the spookiest time of year, Airbnb will make a one-time donation to Ween Dream, which provides free Halloween costumes to children in need nationwide.
Other things to note: I’ll welcome you virtually, but once you arrive and check-in, our socially distanced concierge will ensure a comfortable stay for you and your guest — including showing you around and arranging meals. I’ll give you my best tips to survive the night, but if Ghostface has anything to say about it, there will be no shortage of haunts and happenings.
Directed by Wes Craven from a screenplay by Kevin Williamson, the original Scream has the following synopsis:
Wes Craven re-invented and revitalised the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high-school students in middle-class suburbia. Craven is happy to provide both tension and self-parody as the body count mounts – but the victims aren’t always the ones you’d expect.
Arquette was joined in the cast by Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Jamie Kennedy, Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan, W. Earl Brown, Drew Barrymore, Joseph Whipp, and Henry Winkler.
