Henry Winkler Explains Studio’s Decision to Omit His Name from 1996 'Scream' Poster

Henry Winkler revealed that the studio behind the 1996 horror film 'Scream' refused to include his name on the movie poster because his fame as 'The Fonz' from 'Happy Days' would undermine the film's horror atmosphere. Winkler stated he was insulted by the decision but ultimately agreed to do press for the film to support director Wes Craven and the project. He noted that the same executives who excluded him from the poster later asked him to participate in promotional activities. Looking back 30 years later, Winkler said the experience taught him to navigate uncertainty and focus on what he could control.

Ghostface Mask Rights Trigger Legal Clash Ahead of Scream 7

Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Entertainment filed a California federal lawsuit against Alterian Ghost Factory, accusing the company of asserting ownership of the Ghostface mask and using threats to sue before Scream 7 as a coercive “shake-down.” The suit seeks a court order affirming Paramount/Spyglass’s rights and blocking Alterian from pursuing infringement, arguing that Fun World licenses the mask and has long-held rights, while Alterian’s ownership claims are time-barred or unsupported; the dispute centers on who designed and licensed the iconic mask across the franchise.
