I was watching Scream (1996) and noticed this little detail in the credits. Apparently Wes Craven received a verbal agreement to film at Santa Rosa High School, but later they backed out of their agreement.
For those wondering why Wes Craven called them out in the credits... here ya go

The Scream crew said they received a verbal agreement from the school's principal that they could film at the school, and developed a shooting schedule around the dates provided. But the plan started to unravel shortly before filming was scheduled to begin. First, city representatives claimed that the crew hadn’t filed the proper paperwork. Even after the red tape had been dealt with, the school ultimately nixed production, saying it conflicted with final exams. Citizen complaints might also have played a part; it seems that area residents weren’t thrilled about a gory slasher film being shot in the hallowed halls of Santa Rosa High.
Same thing happened during filming of *Monty Python and The Holy Grail" in Scotland. The government body that decides these things waited until the last minute to rescind permission and they ended up having to use one or two castles for everything.
