During the appearance, Drew talked about the folklore behind some of her biggest roles, including her iconic, shockingly short-lived role in Scream.

“In the horror film genre, my biggest pet peeve was that I always knew the main character was always going to be slugging through at the end, but was going to creak by and make it,” she explained.

“What I wanted to do is to take that comfort zone away. I asked if I could be Casey Becker so that we would establish that rule does not apply in this film,” she revealed.
