Finding out his name wouldn’t be used on the “Scream” poster wasn’t one of Henry Winkler’s happier days.

The “Happy Days” star played Principal Arthur Himbry in the original “Scream” film, which went on to become one of the most successful horror franchises. But despite his character’s entrance receiving applause during screen tests for the 1996 movie, Winkler revealed the studio refused to put his name on the poster.
