TICKETS ARE SELLING FAST! Woodsboro High Class of ’96 Reunion Lock-in at Sonoma Community Center

Friday, October 30, 7:00 PM - Saturday, October 31, 7:00 AM - Andrews Hall and beyond - 18+ - $350

Absolutely no one under 18. No exceptions. Must show ID to drink alcohol.


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.


When the event is sold 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.


The evening opens with the 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 midnight snacks featuring a Noble Folk "Ice Scream Sundae" Bar.


Paranormal investigator Tim Wood of Discovery's The Ghost Town Terror will join us after midnight to screen an exclusive documentary on his findings at the Sonoma Community Center. Rumors specific to the theater (Andrews Hall) run rampant, and that's where you will be locked in for the night. Will you meet "the ghost?"


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!
