Trivia:

Kevin Williamson created the character Mrs. Tringle based on an English teacher whom he'd had in real life who had a very negative impact on him. She was the basis for his villainous character in the movie Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999), in which Katie Holmes also starred.

Quotes:

Abby: I am so bored.
Pacey: Why don't you get out your ecstasy, Abby and me and you can go down to the boy's locker room and... you know...
Abby: I don't have any left, and even if I did I wouldn't waste it on Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Pacey: Aww... you're not gonna let Rudolf join in any of your perverted reindeer games?
Abby: Hey, now that's an idea. We should play a game. C'mon, I'll be your best friend!
