Watch the original version of Scream 3
Prologue:
The night was colder than usual, the moon hidden behind a cluster of ominous clouds. A stark silence hung in the air, like a curtain before a performance, waiting to be pulled back to expose the horror that was about to unfold. A distant echo echoed across the desolate Hollywood set of ‘STAB 3’, a foreboding harbinger of the gruesome nightmare set in motion.
The studio lot was empty at this late hour, yet an eerie presence seemed to lurk in the shadows. Masked by darkness, the figure slipped through the desolate set, its black robe respectfully quiet against the cold, hard concrete. The Ghostface mask reflecting the ghostly pallor of the artificial studio lights.
Inside the comfort of her secluded house, Sidney Prescott was unaware of the terror that was about to be awakened. A living testament to the Woodsboro killings, her life had been a series of fearful nights and haunted days. She was a survivor, yes, but surviving wasn’t the same as living, and she hadn’t truly lived since the first bloodshed.
Chapter 1: ‘Horror Behind The Scenes’:
The news hit Sidney like a ton of bricks. Dead bodies discovered around the STAB 3 set, each murder resembling the Woodsboro killings to an uncanny degree. The irony wasn’t lost on her; while she had retreated from the world to forget the past, it seemed the past was not ready to forget her.
In Hollywood, the mood was tense. Each shadow bred fear, every phone call caused hearts to skip a beat. The cast of STAB 3 found themselves living in a horror movie off-screen, as the body count started to rise and the killer remained elusive.
Actor after actor was cruelly taken off not just the casting list but life itself, their dreams of fame and success cruelly cut short. The studio’s excitement around the movie had transformed into a palpable dread, sweeping through the corridors and stifling the usual buzz of Hollywood glamour.
Sidney, though safely tucked away in her seclusion, could feel the fear creeping in. She was a woman haunted, trapped in a phantasmagoria of masked killers and innocent victims. The Ghostface Killer was no mere ghost story for her; it was her reality, her past, and now, it seemed, it was also her present.
In an eerie reflection of life imitating art, these real-life murders echoed the fictional ones in the STAB 3 script. It was a gruesome reminder of the first Ghostface Killing spree, a blood-soaked deja vu that sent a shiver down Sidney’s spine.
An urgent call from Dewey, her long-standing ally, pulled her back from her deep thoughts. His voice echoed the severity of the situation. The murders weren’t just random killings; they were staged, planned, executed with precision. The killer was playing a game, a deadly one, and he was doing it in broad daylight under the Hollywood sign – a representation of the industry’s own glorification of violence.
Sidney’s heart raced as she took in the information. The realization hit her like a physical blow. The Ghostface Killer was back – or perhaps, he had never left. Her safety, it seemed, was a farce. The past had come knocking, and it wouldn’t rest until it had claimed her. The curtain was rising, and Sidney was once again in the spotlight, in a play she neither scripted nor wanted a part in. Her only choice, it seemed, was to face the horror before it enveloped her completely. She decided that she would return to Hollywood, to face her fears, to end the game once and for all. Sidney, once the victim, was ready to fight back.
Chapter 2: ‘Masked Shadows in Hollywood’
The virulent spread of fear intoxicates Hollywood like a toxic mist. Underneath the dazzling streetlights and amidst the colossal, cinematic spectacles, something sinister manifests. The movie set of STAB 3, once humming with the rhythmic vitality of the movie-making process, now reeked of an all-too-familiar dread. Every corner of the set, once bustling with energy, is plagued by an ominous shadow looming – the Ghostface.
The once-beloved Ghostface, a mere fiction character, is now a horrifying reality. Something more than just a costume and a character. It’s a symbol of death, a chilling reminder of the Woodsboro killings, and a living nightmare for all who dare cross its path.
The first victim, Jennifer, was found at the set, her life extinguished in a twisted parody of a scene from the movie itself. She had been making her way home from a late-night shoot when the Ghostface emerged from the shadows, turning her life into a real-life horror show.
With Jennifer’s death, a wave of panic swept across Hollywood. The film crew, celebrities, and all those involved with STAB 3, existed in a state of perpetual terror. The scent of popcorn and sugary candies, intermingled with the persistent metallic hint of blood, created an eerie atmosphere around the set. The haunting aura grinned at the irony of real-life mirroring the chilling plot of the very movie they were creating.
The Ghostface Killer appeared to be toying with his victims, spinning a morbid game of hide and seek. The first note arrived shortly after Jennifer’s death, a grim parody of a movie script, portraying the chilling fate of the next victim. The notes, handwritten in a terrifyingly casual tone, detailed the victim’s downfall, mirroring the scenes from the script of STAB 3. Each victim seemed carefully chosen; linked to Sidney and the original Woodsboro killings in ways that left anyone associated with those events petrified.
One by one, the once-cohesive film crew dwindled, the Killer’s games causing them to scatter like terrified rats. The movie set transformed into a labyrinth of fear with countless places for the Ghostface Killer to lurk and pounce. The weight of unease hung palpably in the air. Each echo seemed to resonate with a bloodcurdling scream, each shadow seemed to manifest into the ominous Ghostface, and every creaking door sent shockwaves of terror down everyone’s spine.
As the body count continues to rise, so does the fear and paranoia. Suspicion seeps into relationships, turning friends into potential suspects, and breaking down trust within the crew. The production set of STAB 3 becomes a twisted reality of the movie itself, and its surviving members, real-life characters in a macabre play, struggling to outlive their cinematic counterparts.
Burdened with the staggering weight of fear, the set of STAB 3 edges towards the brink of collapse. Hollywood, an emblem of dreams and extraordinary realities, transforms into a stage for the spine-chilling reenactment of the Woodsboro killings.
Amidst the chaos and terror, an urgent message finds its way to the secluded haven where Sidney has been hiding from her past. As she reads the news of the killings, something within her stirs. The Ghostface was back, and with it, the horrors of her past were resurfacing. Little did she know, she was to be drawn out of her seclusion, and into the heart of fear once again. This was just the beginning of a nightmare that was to shake Hollywood and Sidney to their very core.
Chapter 3: ‘Call of the Nightmare’
Sidney Prescott, having lived a life of seclusion, self-enclosed in the high, stone walls of her estate, began to feel the pangs of her past gnawing at her. The whispers of the Woodsboro massacres, the ghastly face of the Ghostface Killer; it all trickled back to her in fragments. The safety of her solitude crumbled with every whispered rumor, every unanswered question. Suddenly, the looming mansion seemed disturbingly silent, the high walls, almost suffocating. Yet, in the face of this impending dread, Sidney decided to take a stand.
Her courageous stride through the streets of Hollywood felt like walking through a nightmare. Her eyes, widened with alarm, captured every corner, every face, every shadow that flitted around under the flashing neon bulbs. A daunting chill ran through her veins as she reached the set of STAB 3. The place buzzed with panicked murmurs, eyes darting in terror, bodies wrapped in fear. She could almost sense the lurking dread, the Ghostface Killer’s presence in the distorted reflections and eerie silence.
Sidney was a familiar face, yet she seemed alien in this new-world chaos. Her anxiety was thinly veiled under a veneer of determination, but the chaos of Hollywood had a way of peeling away serenity. Her involvement with the Woodsboro investigations was both a shield and a target; it gave her an edge, yet it painted a bullseye on her back.
She met with Detective Mark Kincaid, the officer assigned to the case. His eyes, sharp like a hawk’s, betrayed a mix of empathy and skepticism. They spent hours pouring over case files, digging into the lives of the victims, their connections to STAB 3. Sidney’s every word, every input was like a puzzle piece falling into place, offering a glimpse of the Ghostface Killer’s macabre plot.
But, amid the intensive investigations, something gnawed at Sidney. It was the twisted reality of fear and trauma that the victims of the killings had experienced, the same fear that now clung to her like a second skin. Memories of her past encounters with the Ghostface Killer flooded back, causing her heart to race in rhythm with the ticking clock.
The subsequent days were a grueling blend of investigations, interrogations, and late-night stakeouts. To Sidney, Hollywood felt like a giant mousetrap, where she was both the hunter and the hunted. The constant flip between fear and bravery, between victimhood and resilience, was a high-stakes dance on a tightrope over a pit of nightmares. It was a race against time, a battle against an enemy wearing the face of a ghost.
As Sidney delved deeper into the mystery, she started realizing that the line between reality and the reel was hopelessly blurred. The movie plot of STAB 3, eerily mirrored the real-life killings. The horrifying thought took root in her mind – the murderer was always one step ahead, anticipating, steering the narrative to an impending doom that only he knew.
Through all the chaos and uncertainty, one thing became clear to Sidney – the Ghostface Killer wasn’t just a figure of her past. He was here, real and terrifying, a manifestation of her worst nightmares. As the chapter closes, Sidney, with newly cemented resolve, continued her journey deeper into the den of the Ghostface Killer, determined to end the reign of terror once and for all.
Chapter 4: ‘Unveiled Secrets’
The chilly atmosphere across the set of STAB 3 was thick with a foreboding dread that resonated inside Sidney’s bones. She had stepped back into the world that she had sought to escape, her heart pounding with an anxiety rivaling the on-screen horrors of Woodsboro. A medley of horrifying emotions whirled inside her as she traversed the labyrinth of horror that was crafted to imitate the gruesome murders from her past.
The deaths around the movie set were no scripted fatalities. They were real, as real as the chilling cold that seeped through the skin, stiffening the heart with terror. As Sidney delved deeper into the obscure happenings around the set, she unearthed dark secrets that the cast harbored. Each revelation was another piece of the puzzle, leading her closer to the man behind the Ghostface mask.
A profound sense of déjà vu swept over Sidney as she began drawing connections to the original Woodsboro killings. Among the victims, she found resemblances that were too stark to ignore. The terror instilled by the Ghostface Killer was not new, but a ghastly echo from the past, which had found its way into the present.
Her search led her to a suspicious scriptwriter, who bore a striking resemblance to Billy Loomis, her traumatised past’s nightmare. His dark, brooding eyes and an eerie calmness mirrored Billy’s sinister demeanor. But as much as her instincts urged her to point him out, she knew it wasn’t enough. She needed indisputable evidence.
In the world of Hollywood, pretense was an art, a mask that concealed true identities. And Sidney knew that the Ghostface Killer was a master of this craft. She needed to rip past the façade that surrounded the cast and crew of STAB 3.
In the ensuing nights, she delved into the lives of the cast members, picking apart their pasts, their motivations, their desires. She found herself entangled in a web of hidden truths and half-lies. It became a deadly game of cat and mouse – each revelation leading to more bloodshed, with everyone a suspect.
As Sidney delved further into the abyss of dark secrets, she stumbled upon a blood-soaked screenplay. The cover was smudged with hastily wiped off crimson stains. Picking it up, her heart pounded in her chest. The blood was fresh, still wet in places. Fear gripped her as she leafed through the pages, revealing a chilling narrative that perfectly mirrored the ongoing terror.
The script detailed the murders scene by scene, victim by victim, just as they had been played out in real life. The realization sent a cold shiver spiralling down her spine. The Ghostface Killer was amongst them, lurking behind the scenes, merging reel-and-real in a horrifying blood ballet.
Serendipitously, she discovered notes in the margins, written in a scrawling hand. They detailed the next victim, their fears, their weaknesses, crafting the perfect scene for their demise. The script was not just a narrative, but a blueprint for murder.
The horror of it all left Sidney breathless. The terror that she had thought she’d left behind in Woodsboro was closing in once again, its icy fingers clutching her heart. But Sidney was no longer the victim; she was the hunter. The game had changed, and she was playing for keeps. The Ghostface Killer was closer to unmasking than they might have ever thought, and Sidney was determined to reveal their true identity.
By the end of Chapter 4, Sidney finds herself embroiled in a deadly game of survival, trapped between the horrors of her past and the chilling reality of her present. With every dark secret that she unveils, the line between fiction and reality blurs further, plunging her back into the nightmare she’d once escaped. All the while, the Ghostface Killer lurks in the shadows, his blood-stained script ready, waiting for the next ‘scene’ to unfold.
Chapter 5: ‘Between The Reel And Real’
The fifth chapter begins on a tense note; the silver boundary separating reality from the cinematic horror of STAB 3 seemed to dissipate. The irony of the situation didn’t escape Sidney; the film that was supposed to re-enact the horrors she had lived was now turning into a real-life bloodbath.
Sidney had decided to visit the STAB 3 set, against her instincts, against her better judgment. The place buzzed with an energy that hid a primal fear. The cast and crew threw nervous glances towards her, some awed by her bravery, others scared by her association with the murders.
Day by day, she spent time on the set, trying to find correlations between the script and the murders. As Sidney leafed through the script, she felt a spooky familiarity. It was as if she could see the gruesome events unfolding before her eyes. The manner of the killings, the macabre settings, and the eerie echoes of her past they brought were unnerving.
The script was uncannily similar to the real Woodsboro murders, and somehow it seemed to predict the new wave of killings. One by one, the members of the cast were being murdered in the same way their characters were written to die in the movie. The reality of their demise however was much more brutal, much more visceral than any script could convey.
She found herself engrossed in the script, tracing the blood-soaked path the Ghostface Killer was leaving in his wake. The reactions of the surviving cast members reflected the terror scripted on the pages. The truth hit her sharply – whoever was behind the mask had intimate, insider knowledge about both the script and the original Woodsboro murders.
Sidney could hear the ghostly whispers of the past, the echoes of her nightmares were merging with the storyline of STAB 3. It was too much of a coincidence to ignore. There was a pattern, a connection that only she could see. This insight, however, brought more fear than relief. The knowledge that the killer was so close, possibly observing her every move, made her skin crawl.
Her mind kept wandering back to the Ghostface Killer’s haunting voice on the phone. It was relentless, taking pleasure in her fear. She suddenly realized that the killer was recreating the terror of Woodsboro, step by exacting step.
As the line between the film and real-life blurred further, Sidney began to sense an ominous presence around her. It was like being stalked by her own shadow, the chilling silhouette of the Ghostface Killer seemed to lurk wherever she went. For the first time, she began questioning whether it was wise to have come out of her seclusion.
Each day turned into a surreal nightmare. The actions of the actors, the lines of the script, and the Ghostface Killer’s looming threat all seemed to meld into one. This terrifying realization filled Sidney with a resolve stronger than her fear. She had to confront her past demons, she had to stop this mayhem.
Just when she was about to succumb to despair, her investigative eyes landed on a hidden detail. It was a subtle hint tucked away in the script that seemed to point towards the next victim. The rush of adrenaline pushed her into action. Sidney determinedly picked up the phone to warn the potential victim, unknowingly setting the stage for the next wave of confrontations.
As the chapter draws to a close, readers are left on a cliffhanger. The imminent danger, impending doom, and Sidney’s determination creates an ambiance of suspense that is hard to escape. The line between the reel and reality has never been so blurred and the terrifying journey of Sidney has only just begun.
Chapter 6: ‘Survival of the Fittest’
Evening fell on the Hollywood set, painting the scenes of STAB 3 in ominous shadows. The once bustling studio lay orphaned, eerily silent, its cheer replaced by a chilling dread. Sidney, heart pounding like a wild drum, stepped onto the familiar yet terrifying set. The ghost of her past seemed to echo through the lifeless props, whispering tales of horror in her ears. Yet, she moved ahead, driven by a courage fuelled by desperation.
The Ghostface Killer, bathed in the sinister moonlight, stood at the far end of the set. The iconic mask seemed more terrifying than ever, appearing like a phantom against the overlay of the dark studio, the sight making Sidney’s blood run cold. Yet, her resolve hardened. She had faced the monster before; she could do it again.
The deadly dance began. Sidney, cunningly hiding in the shadows, tried to outmaneuver the killer. But the killer, like a predatory animal, seemed to sense her fear, her presence. The two engaged in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, where the loser paid with their life.
Every step Sidney took was cautious, her senses heightened, attuned to every rustling sound, every shadow that moved. She could hear the echo of her own heartbeat in the deathly silence, could feel the cold sweat trickling down her forehead. She remembered the friends she had lost, the terror she had lived through. She wouldn’t let the Ghostface Killer continue this reign of terror. She wouldn’t let him win.
A sudden movement caught her attention. Whipping around, she saw a shadow darting across the set. She took a deep breath, bolstered her courage, and followed. The chase led her to a secluded corner of the set, an eerie replica of her own house from Woodsboro.
Inside, eerily realistic props and bloody dummies filled the space. She felt a shiver run down her spine, memories of the original Woodsboro killings flooding back. Out of nowhere, a dark figure lunged at her. But Sidney was quick, dodging it just in time. She retaliated with swift blows, her fear transforming into raw anger.
The Ghostface Killer, taken aback by her resistance, snarled and charged again. This time Sidney was prepared. She fought back fiercely, leveraging her knowledge of the killer and his patterns. But the killer was relentless, his strength overpowering. He seemed to draw some perverse pleasure from the struggle, his laughter a chilling echo in the enclosed space.
Sidney, sensing an impending defeat, desperately looked around for a weapon. Her eyes fell on a prop knife glinting in the dim light. She lunged for it, but the killer was quicker. He slammed her against a wall, knocking the wind out of her. Sidney gasped for breath, spots dancing before her eyes.
Just as the Ghostface was about to strike, something changed. Sidney, summoning every ounce of her strength, pushed him away and grabbed the knife. The tables turned. The Ghostface Killer now found himself at the mercy of a determined Sidney.
The final showdown was intense and brutal, echoing through the abandoned set. Sidney and the Ghostface Killer traded blows, their fight a dance of death. The studio echoed with grunts, shouts, and heavy breaths. Blood painted the set in a gruesome shade of red, an eerie testament to the battle that had ensued.
But Sidney was resolute. She was fighting for more than just her life. She was fighting for justice, for closure, for an end to the nightmare. Remembering her friends, her trauma, she drove the knife into the Ghostface Killer, her shout of defiance resonating through the silence.
Battered and bruised, Sidney stood victorious. The Ghostface Killer lay defeated, his reign of terror finally over. But the relief was short-lived. Sidney knew her fight wasn’t over. The mastermind behind the mask was still at large. And now, it was time for the final act.
In this riveting chapter, Sidney pushes past her fear and trauma, showing immense bravery and resourcefulness. She fights back against the physical embodiment of her nightmares, proving that she is indeed the ‘final girl’. But the stage is set for the next act. The identity of the mastermind, the climax of this terrifying tale is yet to be revealed, promising more thrilling chapters to come.
Chapter 7: ‘The Unmasked Terror’
A thin leather-bound diary lay inconspicuously beneath a mess of filming equipment. Sidney picked it up, flicking through its pages, her eyes widening as she read the meticulously documented encounters of the Ghostface Killer from an observer’s perspective. The entries were penned with a chilling delight that accentuated the fear factor of the gruesome murders.
She found the connections drawn between the victims and the original Woodsboro massacre eerily precise. Even stranger was the detailed knowledge about her own life – her solitary confinement, her nightmares, all displayed in black and white. Who could have written so intimately about her life? The implications were chilling.
As Sidney immersed herself into the horror-filled pages, a dark shadow loomed behind her, the white madness of the Ghostface mask barely catching the dim light. A cold shiver ran down Sidney’s spine, a dread-filled feeling enveloping her. It was the moment she dreaded yet knew was inevitable. The Ghostface Killer had arrived.
Heart pounding like a drum, Sidney turned around slowly. The ghostly figure towered over her, the gleam of a knife sending shivers of terror. But for once, Sidney refrained from running. This was her fight. She was determined to see it through. With a deep breath, she stared at the masked figure, a few words escaping her lips. “Show me who you really are.”
The masked figure froze, the knife loosening in his grasp. After a moment’s hesitation, a gloved hand reached for the mask. Sidney’s breath hitched in anticipation, her heart pounding in sync with the clock’s relentless ticking. And then, in a swift motion, the mask was off, revealing a face she was all too familiar with. The revelation sent her stomach churning. She had never imagined the face beneath the mask would be this close to her, someone she trusted.
Reeling from shock, Sidney took a step back, her mind working furiously to make sense of the revelation. She knew she had to stay focused, keep a clear head if she was to survive and expose this atrocity to the world.
The Ghostface Killer began his deadly discourse, voicing the horrors of the Woodsboro killings, the thrill of stalking Sidney, the delight in killing the STAB 3 cast. His laughter echoed through the set, a chilling sound that sent terror coursing through Sidney’s veins.
Despite the fear, Sidney was unyielding. She faced her nemesis, vowing to bring an end to this reign of terror. Confronting her own ghosts and battling the shock of betrayal, she forged her courage to face what turned out to be a gruesome web of deception, violence, and unimaginable horrors.
In a burst of adrenaline, Sidney launched into action, ensuing a deadly duel with Ghostface. Her life and her sanity depended on the outcome of this face-off. The chapter concluded on a suspenseful note, the outcome of this climactic showdown hinted but left oblique. Readers are left gasping at the unexpected revelation, with the burning question – Would Sidney survive the Final Curtain Call?
Chapter 8: ‘Final Curtain Call’
In the chilling darkness, a harsh spotlight illuminated the center of the STAB 3 set, its lonesome glow dancing on the plastic casing of the Ghostface mask. Sidney felt a torrid wave of dread wash over her. There was a perverse irony to this, she reflected. The very set built to sensationalize her horror was morphing into the stage where the final chapter of her real-life nightmare unfolded.
The dank air was heavy with the grotesque anticipation of the bloody spectacle that was about to be played out. Flashes of the gruesome Woodsboro killings played in Sidney’s mind, as she steeled herself to confront the monstrosity she once thought was behind her. Her heart pounded as if it could burst through her chest at any moment.
Suddenly, the grotesque Ghostface emerged from the shadows, the mask’s hollow eyes boring into Sidney. The pain and terror of her past crashed into her, but she squared her shoulders, ready to face down the demon from her nightmares.
A whirlwind of emotions coursed through Sidney as she stared down her foe. Fear and apprehension swirled with determination and resolve. She felt the raw edges of her past wounds open afresh, the familiar sting of pain pushing her forward. Behind that mask was the mastermind responsible for the pool of bodies left behind at STAB 3, the same individual who was intricately tied to her tormented past.
A cold smirk grew on the Ghostface’s lips, and with a swift movement, he reached up to remove the mask. As the cruel visage was lifted, a face from her past appeared. Recognition flashed across Sidney’s face followed closely by betrayal, as the figure reveled in the shock plastered across her face. The identity of the Ghostface was a violation in itself, a traitor hidden amongst allies, a wolf amidst the flock.
As the climax of the twisted game neared, fear gave way to fury. Sidney was beyond the point of playing the victim. She was the survivor, the fighter who emerged stronger with every battle.
As Sidney lunged at her foe, the set turned into an eerie battleground. Every prop, every shadowy corner was a potential weapon, a potential hiding place. Sidney moved with an agility born of fear and the determination to survive. Her every action was mirrored by her masked adversary, a dance of death under the harsh spotlight.
In the midst of this deadly dance, Sidney stumbled across a prop gun. Her hand wrapped around the cold metal, hope surging in her heart. The Ghostface lunged at her, but Sidney had the upper hand. She fired, the sound echoing in the set as the force of the bullet threw her adversary back.
In the aftermath of the deadly showdown, Sidney stood panting, her heart pounding against her ribs. Her eyes never left the fallen form of the Ghostface. She had won, survived yet another nightmarish encounter, but at what cost? The lines between fiction and reality had merged in a horrific spectacle, with Sidney playing the lead in both.
As Sidney stared at the Ghostface’s unmoving body, she came to a terrible realization. Her life was a never-ending horror movie, each terrifying scene more horrific than the last. She was forever locked in an endless loop of horror and bloodshed. But she was not just a character in this sick saga; she was the author of her own story.
In the grim silence of the night, Sidney faced the cameras for the last time, the heroine who had overcome her nightmares not once but time and again. As the curtain fell on the gruesome STAB 3 set, she had emerged victorious once again, proving her mettle, her strength.
The chilling silence was broken abruptly by the shrill ring of a phone. Sidney answered, her voice shaky but firm, “Sydney Prescott, survivor.”
This was not just a curtain call for the horror that unfolded on the STAB 3 set, but also for Sidney’s tormenting past. She was not the scared Woodsboro girl anymore, but a survivor, a warrior. And though the scars of her nightmares would forever remain, she knew she had the courage to face whatever was thrown her way.
Her story was a testament of horror, survival, and resilience — a thrilling mystery that would always leave its readers gasping for breath. It was a nail-biting saga that defined Sidney, the saga of a girl who stared fear in the face, showing the world that she was not merely a victim, but a survivor.
So, in this final chilling chapter of Sidney’s terror-filled journey, the curtain fell, leaving behind an eerie silence. But Sidney knew that silence was not the end. It was merely a pause, a breath before the next act. And when the curtain rose again, Sidney would be ready, poised to face any horror that dared to haunt her again. And just like always, she would fight, and she would survive. Because Sidney Prescott was not just a character, she was a legend, a beacon of strength and survival in a world of terror and mystery.

VOICE (O.S)
From the darkness comes a chilling whisper.
VOICE (O.S)
(whispers)
…Sidney…
Sidney turns around sharply, her eyes scanning the darkness.
SIDNEY
(yells)
Who’s there!?
From the shadows, DEWEY, a trusted friend, emerges looking worried.
DEWEY
(stressed)
Sid… We need to talk.
They sit down; Dewey hands her a photograph from the first Woodsboro murder.
DEWEY
(gravely)
Look at this…
Sidney takes a glance at the photograph and gasps.
SIDNEY
(shocked)
This is…this is not part of the script!
Dewey nods, his face pale.
DEWEY
(whispers)
It’s like the killer knows…
Sidney clenches her jaw; her eyes are filled with a growing realization.
SIDNEY
(resolute)
Then we stop him. In his own game!
FADE OUT.
TO BE CONTINUED…
FADE IN:
Next scene starts with Sidney devising a plan to trap the Ghostface Killer, the real script starts to unfold.
FADE OUT.
Scene 6
INT. STAB 3 SET – NIGHT
Sidney cautiously enters the set, heart pounding, armed with a gun, her eyes darting in every direction. She knows Ghostface is lurking somewhere in the shadows.
WHISPER (V.O.)
“The stage is set, Sidney…a tragic last act.”
Sidney jumps, her eyes scanning the dark corners. The disembodied voice belongs to Ghostface, twisted and taunting.
SIDNEY
“Enough! Just show yourself!”
She moves deeper into the set. Suddenly, GHOSTFACE lunges from the darkness. Sidney fires, but Ghostface is fast. The shot misses. He disappears.
SIDNEY
“Damn it!”
A CHASE ensues – Sidney running for her life through the labyrinth set. She trips, her gun slides away. Ghostface lunges again, KNIFE GLEAMING. But Sidney is quick, she ducks and tackles him.
They GRAPPLE, Sidney fights ferociously, each punch fuelled by years of anger and fear. The fight leads to the “Woodsboro House” stage. Upstairs in the faux bedroom, Sidney finds a moment of respite.
Suddenly, Ghostface appears in the doorway. Sidney picks up a FAUX PROP LAMP and throws it at Ghostface. He stumbles. She bolts downstairs but is blocked – ANOTHER GHOSTFACE.
Sidney is cornered. She looks at them defiantly.
SIDNEY
“You won’t get the satisfaction of killing me.”
Suddenly, Ghostface #2 turns and STABS Ghostface #1 who crumbles to the ground. Ghostface #2 removes their mask to reveal – SURPRISE GUEST STAR.
GUEST STAR
“I know.”
FADE OUT. TO BE CONTINUED…
