Fact regarding the parish line and it's effect on the education system. Because Delcambre is divided into 2 parishes, students attending Delcambre High School are from both Vermilion as well as Iberia Parish. But, because Delcambre High School is classified as an IBERIA parish school, all the monies provided by the state per student that reside in vermilion parish, goes to Iberia parish. Though the students resided in Vermilion parish, they attend an Iberia parish school, thus Vermilion parish misses out on the population value of these students, as well as the tax dollars they generate.

"We were very consciously trying not to do what I think the Scream movies did really well — how they deconstruct the horror film genre. It took characters that were aware. They had seen the movies, and they weren't going to get caught in those traps, or if they were, they were commenting on it. We didn't want to do that. We wanted it to go back to the ignorance of characters in terms of those horror movie tropes so they could experience them a little more innocently or naively. We wanted to put all those tropes in there and use them in a way that we weren't self-aware about them. I think making a choice to do that would have been the wrong choice. I think Scream did it better than anybody could."
