TICKETS ARE SELLING FAST!
The Sonoma Community Center served as the actual filming location for the exterior and interior shots of Woodsboro High School in Wes Craven’s 1996 horror classic, Scream (1996). For one night, a small number of people get to stay for the night, locked in the building until sunrise.
Once the event sells out, no more tickets will be added. The overnight is limited to just 20 tickets.
Sonoma Community Center is located just 2 short blocks from the historic Sonoma Plaza. Formerly the Sonoma Grammar School, est. in 1916, it was listed in the US National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
Your Overnight Experience Includes:
Please the the Woodsboro High Class of 96 Reunion FAQ here.
The evening opens with a 7:00 PM screening of 1996’s Scream at the Center’s Andrews Hall, seen in the film as the high school’s auditorium. When the film ends and everyone else goes home, you don’t. You are locked in the building until morning.
All October 30-31 events at the Center will feature a wine bar sponsored by 19 Crimes Wines. “It’s good to be bad.”
Wander the hallways after midnight. Trade stories with other fans. Stay upright from the all-night Ohm Coffee “Get Amped!” Caffeine Bar.
The night will have a Candy Bar and Midnight Snacks featuring a Noble Folk “Ice Scream Sundae” Bar.
The Center’s Chef G cooks a “Killer Breakfast” before you check out on Halloween morning. “I Survived the Woodsboro High Class of ’96 Reunion” swag will be given before leaving.
This is being offered once, for the 30th anniversary of the filming and release of Scream. There are no plans to do it again.
Plan to stay the night. Don’t plan to sleep. (For those who need a time out or a catnap, a communal “Chill Out” room will be available.)
Retrace the steps of your favorite movie characters 30 years after the movie was filmed. Hold a mop where Wes Craven stood. Get inky and pose for fingerprint-exposing photos at the banister. Reenact Dewey’s scene with Gail on the stone staircases of the Center.
Grab your sleeping bag and prepare to be locked in Woodsboro High for this ultimate fan event. Don’t count on sleeping and don’t expect Fred to clean up after you!
There are volunteer opportunities for both movie screenings and the Halloween Haunted Market. Volunteer positions for the overnight have been filled.
Absolutely no one under 18. No exceptions.
Plan to stay the night. Don’t plan to sleep.
Must be over 21 to drink alcohol.

Woodsboro high
Scream’s high school scenes were meant to be shot at Santa Rosa High for a fee of $50,000. The school pulled out shortly before filming.
Daniel Casabonne, then the Center’s executive director, called the production and pointed out that this building had started life as a schoolhouse. Wes Craven’s crew shot here for three days, and the Center was paid more than three times what Santa Rosa had been offered.
Five short scenes made the final film. Lockers were trucked in and a Woodsboro Panther was painted on the hallway wall. The classroom still has its chalkboard walls, though it holds printing presses now instead of desks.
Three of those locations are still here: the front steps, the upstairs hallway, and the Printmaking Studio. Fans turn up year round to stand in them. Staff call them Screamers, and there’s a display case on the first floor for anyone who wants the rest of the story.
It is still a working art center. The lockers are gone; the chalkboards are not.
