Revealing mistake: When Jason is getting stabbed to death, there's a quick 2-second shot showing him being stabbed repeatedly in the stomach, with part of his intestines hanging out. But if you pay close attention, there's no actual damage occurring with any of the stabs, revealing it's just an effect. Likely either a collapsible prop knife or a CGI knife being stabbed into him.
Scream VI (2023)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett
Starring: Courteney Cox, Jenna Ortega, Melissa Barrera
Other mistake: When Sam and Tara first meet Gale outside, after Gale gets punched, pay attention to the multiple news crews behind her as they start arguing about Gale's book. Randomly, they go from paying attention and recording to suddenly all dispersing and packing up after the shot cuts to Sam and then back to Gale. This makes absolutely no sense. They're all involved in a very famous case; there's no reason every reporter there would suddenly start packing up in the five seconds they were offscreen.
Mindy Meeks-Martin: I got it wrong again. Fuck this franchise.
More trivia for Scream VI
Question: The events of Scream VI take place around Halloween, but it doesn't specify what year. A news reporter said that the Woodsboro killings took place in 2022 as if they happened a year ago, and Scream VI was released in March of 2023. So, do the events of Scream VI take place on Halloween of 2022 or 7 months in the future after the film's release date?
Answer: Using some conjecture, if the film states the last killings took place in 2022 and treats it like "last year," you can assume it takes place around Halloween 2023. Films are allowed to take place in the future. They don't have to be set around their release date. So how is this a mistake?

Answer: I think this is more "trivia" than mistake. There's no error in a film taking place a bit further ahead in time than in its release date.
