Hollywood is a district in the city of Los Angeles in Los Angeles County, California, situated west-northwest of Downtown Los Angeles. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and movie stars, the word "Hollywood" is often used as a metonymy of American cinema. The nickname "Tinseltown" refers to the glittering, superficial nature of Hollywood and the movie industry at large.

In addition to being home to some major movie studios such as Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios and New Line Cinema, Hollywood has also played a meager role in the foundation of certain horror film storylines. Film director Wes Craven has inserted fictionalized accounts of his life into the Hollywood jet set including a key role in the 1994 slasher film, New Nightmare and a minor scene from the movie Scream 3 in 2000.
