The goal with this edit is to restore a more consistent serious tone throughout, by downplaying some of the humor that falls flat, making characters more likeable and portraying the police of Woodsboro as less childish and incompetent. In addition, some deleted scenes are reinstated and many moments are trimmed to improve pacing, character development and suspense.
Below is a list of every change I've made, with the ones that I feel would be spoilers blacked out.
