Scream (1996)
Director: Wes Craven
Writer: Kevin Williamson
Stars: David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan, Skeet Ulrich, Drew Barrymore
Release dates: December 18, 1996 (Los Angeles); December 20, 1996 (United States)
Plot: In the small town of Woodsboro, California, high school student Casey Becker is home alone when she receives a phone call from an unknown person. They discuss horror films until the caller turns sadistic, threatening her life and revealing that her boyfriend, Steven Orth, is tied up on her patio. The caller demands she answer questions about horror films to save his life, but Casey gives an incorrect answer about Friday the 13th, resulting in Steve’s death. Casey attempts to escape, but is stabbed to death by someone wearing a “Ghostface” costume, and her disemboweled corpse is found hanging from a tree by her parents.
The next morning, the news media descend on the town as a police investigation ensues. Casey’s classmate, Sidney Prescott, struggles with the impending first anniversary of the rape and murder of her mother Maureen by Cotton Weary. The trauma has made her unable to consummate her relationship with her boyfriend, Billy Loomis. As her father Neil is traveling for work, Sidney waits at home alone for her best friend, Tatum Riley. She receives a call taunting her about Maureen’s death and is attacked by Ghostface, who disappears just before Billy climbs through her window. Sidney immediately grows suspicious when he drops a cell phone, and Billy is arrested by Deputy Sheriff Dewey Riley, Tatum’s brother. Outside the police station, Sidney gets into a physical altercation with investigative journalist Gale Weathers. Gale had written a book claiming that Maureen had multiple extramarital affairs, including one with Cotton, whom Gale believes was falsely accused of Maureen’s homicide. Sidney stays at Tatum’s home but receives another taunting call from the killer. The calls are traced to Neil’s phone, but the police are unable to locate him.
Following his release, Billy encounters Sidney at school and further upsets her by comparing his absent mother to Maureen’s death. After suspending classes in the wake of the murders, Principal Himbry is killed in his office. To celebrate the school’s closure, Stu Macher, Tatum’s boyfriend, hosts a party at his secluded home. Dewey and Gale keep watch on the party in case the killer strikes again. Tatum is isolated in the garage by Ghostface, who crushes her neck in the garage door. As fellow high schooler Randy Meeks details the rules of surviving a horror film, news arrives of Himbry’s murder. Most partygoers leave to see his body, nearly running over Dewey and Gale while inadvertently leading them to Neil’s hidden car. Billy arrives at the house to reconcile with Sidney, and they finally have sex. Afterward, they are attacked by Ghostface, and Billy is stabbed. Sidney evades Ghostface, who kills Gale’s cameraman Kenny and stabs Dewey when he returns. Gale, attempting to flee in her van, crashes and is knocked unconscious. Sidney seeks refuge inside the house, locking Stu and Randy outside as they accuse each other of being the killer.
A seemingly wounded Billy emerges and allows Randy inside before shooting him in the shoulder, revealing himself as the killer and Stu as his accomplice. Billy confesses they killed Maureen because the discovery of her affair with his father led to his mother’s abandonment. The pair abducted Neil to frame him for their crimes and proceed to stab each other to depict themselves as the last survivors. However, they are distracted by Gale’s return, allowing Sidney to incapacitate Billy and kill Stu by dropping a television set on his head. Billy nearly stabs Sidney but is shot by Gale. After Randy remarks that horror film killers revive for a final scare, Billy lunges for them, but Sidney shoots him in the head, killing him. As dawn breaks, Neil is rescued, Dewey is taken away by ambulance, and Gale provides an impromptu news report about the night’s events.

[Woman Screaming]
[Blade Slices]
[Ringing]
Hello?
[Male Voice]
Hello.
Yes?
Who is this?
Who you trying to reach?
What number is this?
What number are you trying to reach?
I don’t know.
Well, I think you have the wrong number.
Do I?
It happens. Take it easy.
[Hangs Up]
[Telephone Ringing]
[Rings]
[Groans]
Hello?
I’m sorry. I guess I dialed the wrong number.
So why’d you dial it again?
To apologize.
You’re forgiven. Bye now.
Wait, wait! Don’t hang up.
What?
I wanna talk to you for a second.
They’ve got 900 numbers for that. See ya.
[Hangs Up]
[Scoffs]
[Crickets Chirping]
[Creaking]
[Telephone Rings]
[Groans]
[Beeps]
Hello?
Why don’t you want to talk to me?
Who is this?
You tell me your name, I’ll tell you mine.
[Chuckles] I don’t think so.
[Rattling]
What’s that noise?
Popcorn.
You’re making popcorn?
Uhhuh.
I only eat popcorn at the movies.
Well, I’m getting ready to watch a video.
Really? What?
Oh, just some scary movie.
You like scary movies?
Uh-huh.
What’s your favorite scary movie?
Uh, I don’t know.
You have to have a favorite. What comes to mind?
Um, Halloween. You know, the one with the guy in the white mask… who walks around and stalks babysitters?
[Man]
Yeah.
What’s yours?
Guess.
Um, Nightmare on Elm Street.
Is that the one where the guy had knives for fingers?
Yeah, Freddy Krueger.
Freddy, that’s right. I liked that movie. It was scary.
Well, the first one was, but the rest sucked.
So, you got a boyfriend?
[Chuckles]
Why? You wanna ask me out on a date?
Maybe. Do you have a boyfriend?
Mmm, no.
You never told me your name.
Why do you want to know my name?
‘Cause I want to know who I’m looking at.
What did you say?
[Dog Barking]
I want to know who I’m talking to.
That’s not what you said.
What do you think I said?
[Switch Clicks]
What? Hello?
Look, I gotta go.
Wait! I thought we were gonna go out.
Uh, no. I don’t think so.
Don’t hang up on me!
[Beeps]
[Popping]
[Rings]
Shit.
[Beeps]
Yes?
I told you not to hang up on me.
What do you want?
To talk.
Well, dial someone else, okay?
[Beeps]
[Popping Continues]
[Rings]
[Beeps]
Listen, asshole!
No, you listen, you little bitch! You hang up on me again, I’ll gut you like a fish, understand?
[Chuckles]
Yeah.
Is this some kind of joke?
More of a game, really. Can you handle that, blondie?
Can you see me?
[Breathing Heavily] Listen, I am two seconds away from calling the police.
They’d never make it in time. We’re out in the middle of nowhere.
What do you want?
To see what your insides look like.
[Sobs]
[Doorbell Ringing]
[Screams] Who’s there? Who’s there? I’m calling the police.
[Rings]
[Screams]
[Beeps]
You should never say, “Who’s there?” Don’t you watch scary movies? It’s a death wish. You might as well just come out here to investigate a strange noise or something.
Look, you’ve had your fun now, so I think you better just leave or else.
Or else what?
Or else my boyfriend’ll be here any second, and he’ll be pissed when he finds out.
I thought you didn’t have a boyfriend.
I lied! I do have a boyfriend, and he’ll be here any second, so your ass better be gone.
Sure.
I swear. He’s big and he plays football and he’ll kick the shit out of you!
I’m getting scared. I’m shaking in my boots. So you better just leave.
His name wouldn’t be… Steve, would it?
How do you know his name?
Turn on the patio lights… again.
Oh, God!
[Lock Clicks]
I wouldn’t do that if I were you.
Where are you? Where are you?
Guess.
Please don’t hurt him.
[Muffled Shouting]
That all depends on you.
Why are you doing this?
I wanna play a game.
No.
Then he dies right now!
No! No!
Which is it? Which is it?
Wha— What kind of game?
Turn off the light. You’ll see what kind of game. Just do it!
[Mouthing Words]
[Muffled]
Casey! No! No! No! Casey!
Here’s how we play. I ask a question. If you get it right, Steve lives.
Please don’t do this.
Come on. It’ll be fun.
Please.
It’s an easy category.
Please.
Movie trivia. I’ll even give you a warmup question.
Don’t do this. I can’t.
Name the killer in Halloween.
No.
Come on! It’s your favorite scary movie, remember? He had a white mask, he stalked the babysitters.
I don’t know.
Come on. Yes, you do.
No, please.
What’s his name?
I can’t think.
Steve’s counting on you.
Michael. Michael, Michael—
Yes! Very good. Now for the real question.
No!
But you’re doing so well. We can’t stop now.
Please stop! Leave us alone!
Then answer the question. Same category.
[Sniffles]
Oh, please stop.
Name the killer in Friday the13th.
Jason! Jason! Jason!
I’m sorry. That’s the wrong answer.
No, it’s not! No, it’s not. It was Jason.
Afraid not. No way.
Listen, it was Jason. I saw that movie 20 goddamn times!
Then you should know Jason’s mother, Mrs. Voorhees, was the original killer. Jason didn’t show up until the sequel. I’m afraid that was a wrong answer.
You tricked me.
Lucky for you, there’s a bonus round. But poor Steve. I’m afraid he’s out!
[Muffled Screaming]
[Splattering]
[Groaning]
[Whimpering]
[Cackling]
Hey. We’re not finished yet. Final question. Are you ready?
[Sobbing]
Please. Please leave me alone.
Answer the question, and I will. What door am I at?
What?
There are two main doors to your house-a front door and the patio doors. If you answer correctly, you live. Very simple.
[Gasps] Don’t do this. I can’t. I won’t.
Your call.

It was just that water from the rain.
They look great, don’t they?
[Man] Don’t they smell strong?
I told you. You could send it back.
[Continues]
[Weakly]
Mom!

What is it?

Oh. Oh, G— Casey? Casey? Casey! Where is she?

[Voices Overlapping]
[Woman #3]
The small town of Woodsboro, California, was devastated last night… when two young teenagers were found brutally murdered.
Authorities have yet to issue a statement, but our sources tell us that no arrest has been made… and the murderer could strike again.
Do you believe this shit?
[Gasps]
Tatum!
What is going on?
You don’t know?
No.
Casey Becker and Steve Orth were killed last night.
What? No way!
And we’re not just talking killed.
We’re talking splattermovie killed.
Ripped open from end to end.
Casey Becker.
She sits next to me in English.
Not anymore.
It’s so sad. Her mom and dad, they found her hanging from a tree, her insides on the outside.
Oh, my God!
Do they know who did it?
Fucking clueless.
I mean, they’re interrogating the entire school— teachers, students,janitors.
They think it’s schoolrelated?
They don’t know.
Dewey was saying this is the worst crime they’ve seen in years, even worse than—
[School Bell Rings]
Well, it’s bad.
Here you go, Mrs. Tate.
Thank you, James.
[Tate]
Sidney.
It would appear to be your turn.
Who’s up next?
Uh, Sidney Prescott.
She was daughter of, uh—
[Clears Throat]
Sidney. How you feelin’?
Fine.
Hi, Sidney.
Sheriff Burke, Dewey.
Uh, that’s Deputy Riley today, Sid.
[Burke]
How is everything?
Good.
And your dad? How’s he doin’?
We’re fine. Thanks.
We’re gonna keep this very brief, Sidney.
The police just want to ask you a few questions. You okay?
Mmhmm.
Sidney, were you very close to Casey Becker?
[Man On P.A.]
Remember, your principal loves you, and I want you to be safe.
All students are encouraged to return to their homes promptly from school grounds.
Avoid strangers. Walk in twos and threes.
[Tatum] What kind of questions did they ask you, Sidney?
They asked if I knew Casey.
Yeah. They asked me that too.
Hey, they ask if you like to hunt?
Yeah, they did. They ask you?
Hunt? Why would they ask you if you like to hunt?
‘Cause their bodies were gutted.
Thank you, Randy.
They didn’t ask me if I like to hunt.
That’s ’cause there’s no way a girl could’ve killed ’em.
That is so sexist.
The killer could easily be female.
Basic Instinct?
That was an ice pick.
Not exactly the same thing.
Yeah, Casey and Steve were completely hollowed out.
And the fact is, it takes a man to do something like that.
Or a man’s mentality.
How do you… gut someone?
You take a knife, and you slit ’em from groin to sternum.
Hey. It’s called tact, you fuckrag.
Hey, Stu, didn’t you used to date Casey?
Yeah, for like two seconds.
Before she dumped him for Steve.
I thought you dumped her for me.
I did. He’s full of shit.
And are the police aware that you dated the victim?
Hey, what are you saying?
That I killed her?
It would certainly improve your high school “Q.”
Stu was with me last night, okay?
Yeah, I was.
Ooh. Was that before or after he sliced and diced?
[Tatum]
Fuck you, nutcase.
Where were you last night?
Working, thank you.
At the video store?
I thought they fired your sorry ass.
Twice.
I didn’t kill anybody.
Nobody said you did.
Thanks, buddy.
[Mocking] Besides, it takes a man to do something like that.
I’m gonna gut your ass in a second, kid.
Tell me something—
[Imitating Jerry Lewis]
Did you really put her liver in the mailbox?
‘Cause I heard they found her liver in the mailbox next to her spleen and her pancreas.
Randy, you goonfuck.
I’m trying to eat here.
She’s getting mad, all right?
You better liver alone.
[Laughs]
Liver alone!
[Laughing]
Li— Ow!
Liver. Liver. It was a joke.
[Brakes Squealing]
[Girl #1] See you, Sidney.
[Girl #2]
I’ll talk to you tomorrow, Sid.
So, you sure I can stay over?
‘Cause my dad won’t be back till Sunday.
[Tatum]
No problem.
I’ll pick you up after practice.
You okay?
Uh-huh. It’s just, you know, the police and reporters and everything.
It’s like déjà vu all over again.
I’ll be there by 7:00. I promise.
Thanks, Tatum.
Later.
[Beeps]
[Dogs Barking In Distance]
[Lock Clicks]
[Clock Chiming]
The bodies of 17yearold Casey Becker and her 18yearold boyfriend, Steven Orth, were discovered late last night by the girl’s parents
[Channel Changes]
[Man]
The Woodsboro double murder case.
Authorities are baffled by the lack of clues and the savage–
The town’s in shock, and no one can quite believe what has happened here, although this is not the first time… this small community of Woodsboro has endured such tragedy.
Only a year ago, Maureen Prescott, wife and mother, was found raped and murdered not far from this peaceful town square.

Hello?
Practice ran late. I’m on my way, okay?
It’s past 7:00.
Don’t worry. Casey and Steve didn’t bite it till way after 10:00.
Oh. Oh, that’s comforting.
I’m gonna swing by the video store.
I was thinkin’ Tom Cruise in All The Right Moves.
You know, if you pause it just right, you can see his penis.
Whatever. Just hurry, okay?
Tata, Sid.
[Beeps]
[Owl Hoots]
[Rings]
[Beeps]
Tatum, just get in the car—
[Male Voice]
Hello, Sidney.
Uh— Hi. Who is this?
You tell me.
Well, I have no idea.
Scary night, isn’t it?
With the murders and all, it’s like right out of a horror movie or something.
[Laughs]
Randy, you gave yourself away.
Are you calling from work, ’cause Tatum’s on her way over.
Do you like scary movies, Sidney?
I like that thing you’re doing with your voice, Randy. It’s sexy.
What’s your favorite scary movie?
Oh, come on.
You know I don’t watch that shit.
Why not? Too scared?
No. No. It’s just, what’s the point?
They’re all the same.
Some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can’t act, who’s always running up the stairs when she should be going out the front door.
It’s insulting.
Are you alone in the house?
[Sighs]
Randy, that’s so unoriginal.
I’m disappointed in you.
Maybe that’s because I’m not Randy.
So who are you?
The question isn’t “Who am I?”
The question is “Where am I?”
[Stammering]
So, where are you?
Your front porch.
Why would you be calling from my front porch?
That’s the original part.
Oh, yeah?
Well, I call your bluff.
[Bird Chirping]
[Owl Hooting]
So where are you?
Right here.
[Wind Chimes Tinkling]
[Exhales]
Can you see me right now?
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh. Okay.
What am I doin’? Huh?
Huh? What am I doin’? Hello!
[Chuckles]
Nice try, Randy.
Tell Tatum to hurry up, okay?
Bye now.
If you hang up on me, you’ll die just like your mother!
Do you wanna die, Sidney?
Your mother sure didn’t.
Fuck you, you cretin!
[Screams, Grunts]
No!
[Grunts]
No!
[Grunting, Gasping]
[Doorknob Rattling]

[Door Clattering]
[Busy Signal]
Shit!
[Shivering]
[Gasps]
Billy! God!
Door’s locked.
I heard screaming. You all right?
The killer’s here. He’s in the house.
All right.
No. He’s in the house.
He’s gonna kill me. He’s gonna kill me.
He’s gone. He’s gone.
It’s all right.
[Sobbing, Stops]
What?
Sid, what?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, wait, Sidney, wait!
Wait, wait, wait, wait! What’s going on?
Sidney, come back! Sidney!
[Screams]
Sorry! I found this.
Come on!
[Man]
All right. Hold your hands together.
[Dewey] Do you wish to give up your right to remain silent?
[Handcuffs Clicking]
I didn’t do anything.
[Siren Wailing]
Do you wish to give up your right to speak to an attorney… and have them present during questioning?
Ask her. She’ll tell you.
Ask her.
[Burke]
What do you got, Dewey?
I caught him, Sheriff.
Wait!
Who is that?
Billy Loomis.
Sheriff.
Sheriff, call these guys off.
I didn’t do it.
[Groans]
Sheriff, wait. Wait, listen.
Call my dad.
Please, call him.
He’ll tell you. Just call him.
Sidney! Sidney!
[Engine Starts]
How’s she doing?
Sid’s tougher than she looks.
[Siren Wailing]
Have to be, all the shit she’s been through.
[Billy Screaming]
Sid!
Well, we’re seein’ a lot of you today.
You gonna be able to come down to the station and answer a few questions, Sid?
Oh, shit. Sidney!
God, Sid. I’m so sorry I was late.
Are you all right?
Tatum, you can’t be here.
This is an official crime scene.
It’s okay.
[Sighs]
Her dad’s out of town, all right?
She’s staying with us tonight.
Does Mom know?
Yes, doofus.
Let’s get you out of here.
[Woman]
She’ll be okay.
Thanks.
Come on, Sid.
You won’t believe this.
[Man]
Right there.
Creepy, huh?
[Man]
Break this up.
I’ll be damned.
What?
Jesus! The camera, hurry!
My name isn’t Jesus.
Sidney, is that you in there?
Excuse me.
Is that Sidney Prescott they took away?
I’m not talking to you.
What happened to her?
None of your damn business.
I heard something about a costume.
Is that true?
Can you tell me anything?
Yeah, you’re a real pain in the ass.
Leave Sid alone.
Where’s she goin’?
Look. Kenny?
Yeah?
I know that you’re about 50 pounds overweight, but when I say “hurry,” please interpret that as “move your fat, tub-of-lard ass now!”
[Snorts]
Did you find him?
You sure it was the Hilton?
At the airport.
[Typing]
He’s not registered there.
[Sighs]
Could he have stayed somewhere else?
I don’t know. I guess.
[Sniffles]
Don’t worry, Sid.
We’ll find him.
[Man]
Dewey, they got that mask in.
I’ll be right back.
[Handcuffs Rattling]
Let me ask you this.
What are you doing with a cellular telephone, son?
Everybody’s got one, Sheriff.
I didn’t make those calls, I swear.
Why don’t you check the phone bill, for Christ’s sake?
Call Vital Phone Comp.
They got the records of every number dialed.
Thanks, Hank. We’re on top of it.
What were you doing over at Sidney’s house tonight?
I wanted to see her. That’s all.
And last night? Sidney said you crawled through her window last night too.
You went out last night?
[Stammers]
I was watching TV.
I got bored. I decided to go for a ride.
Did you happen to ride by Casey Becker’s house?
No. No, I didn’t.
Sheriff, I didn’t kill anybody, We’re gonna have to hold you, son, till we get those phone records.
This is crazy.
You know that? I didn’t do it.
[Chattering]
[Woman]
Camera Two? Okay.
Are there any more doughnuts in there?
Move it, Kenny.
They’re not lettin’ anybody in.
I’m not just anyone.
[Mutters]
More like a bitch goddess.
Kenny, are we on?
Yeah, go.
Hi. Gale Weathers reporting live from the Woodsboro police station, where we hope to get a glimpse of Sidney Prescott.
[Man]
Hey. Watch it, lady.
Hey, watch the hand!
You know who you’re dealing with here?
Tell ’em. Come on, Dad.
Tell ’em!
Just wait for the lawyer, Billy.
Sidney!
Sidney, come on. You know me.
[Deputy]
Come on, come on.
Sidney, look at me!
[Deputy]
Don’t give us any trouble.
[Billy]
Come on!
Sid.
We’re gonna get you out of here, okay? You okay?
[Sighs]
They sell this costume at every five-and-dime in the state.
There’s no way to track the purchase.
What about that cellular phone bill?
We’re pulling Loomis’s account.
We won’t know anything until the morning.
[Tatum]
Oh, come on!
You think he did it?
Twenty years ago, I would’ve said, “Not a chance.”
But these kids today
[Snorts]
Damned if I know.
Hey, Dewey, can we go now?

Hi. Some night.
What happened? Are you all right?
She’s not answering any questions, all right? Just leave us alone.
No. No, Tatum, it’s okay.
She’s just doin’ her job, right, Gale?
Yes, that’s right.
So, how’s the book?
Well, it’ll be out later this year.
Oh. I’ll look for it.
I’ll send you a copy.

Thanks.

[Dewey]
What?
[Tatum]
“What?”
What?
Hello?
[Man]
Sidney Prescott, who escaped a vicious attack last night, is the daughter of Maureen Prescott, who was brutally killed last year… when convicted murderer Cotton Weary broke into their home… and savagely raped and tortured the deceased.
Cotton Weary is currently awaiting appeal for the death sentence handed down… after the young Sidney testified against him.
She was the key witness in the state’s case against the–
It’s never gonna stop, is it?
Billy was released.
His cellular bill was clean.
He didn’t make those calls.
We’re checkin’ every cellular account in the county.
Any calls made to you or Casey Becker are being cross-referenced.
It’s gonna take some time, but we’ll find him.
You okay?
[Siren Wails]
Don’t worry, Sid.
It’s school. You’ll be safe here.
So how does it feel to be almost brutally butchered?
Hey, now leave her alone.
People want to know!
They have a right to know!
[Dewey]
Leave her alone.
How does it feel?
[Dewey]
She just wants to get an education.
Turn that thing off.
What?
[Mouthing Words]
Just a sec.
Stop right there.
I’m not here to fight.
I just need to talk.
Kenny, camera, now!
Off the record. No cameras.
Forget it.
Please? You owe me.
I owe you shit.
You owe my mother!
Your mother’s murder was last year’s hottest court case.
Somebody was gonna write a book about it.
Right, and it had to be you with all your lies and bullshit theories.
What is your problem?
You got what you wanted.
Cotton Weary’s in jail.
They’re gonna gas him.
A book is not gonna change that.
Do you still think he’s innocent?
Your testimony put him away.
It doesn’t really matter what I think.
During the trial, you did all those stories about me. You called me a liar.
I think you falsely identified him, yes.
Have you talked to Cotton?
Many times.
And has his story changed?
Not one word.
He admits to having sex with your mother, but that’s all.
He’s lying.
She never would have touched him.
He raped her, and then… he butchered her.
Her blood was all over his coat.
He was drunk that night.
He left his coat at your house after your mother seduced him.
I saw him leave wearing it.
[School Bell Rings]
No, you saw someone leave wearing that coat.
The same someone who planted it in Cotton’s car, framing him.
No. Cotton murdered my mother.
You’re not so sure anymore, are you?
Nice welt, sweetie.
Let’s go, Sid.
The killer’s still on the loose, isn’t he?
Come on, Sid.
Those murders are related.
I’m sorry I mangled your face.
Wait. Sidney, don’t go!
Just stop, all right?
[Students Chattering]
Jesus Christ!
An innocent man on death row, a killer still on the loose.
Kenny, tell me I’m dreaming.
You wanna go live?
No, no. Not so fast.
We don’t have anything concrete.
This is huge. You can’t just sit on it.
I know! That’s why we need proof.
If I’m right about this, I could save a man’s life.
Do you know what that could do for my book sales?
This is a mistake. I shouldn’t be here.
I want you to meet me right here after class, okay, Sid?
All right.
Hey, hey.
I haven’t seen Billy around.
Is he really pissed?
You mean after you branded him the Candyman? No, his heart’s broken.
Ow!
Stu!
[Shrieking]
[Gasps]
[School Bell Rings]
[Shrieking Continues]
Why are they doing this?
Are you kidding me?
Look at this place. It’s like Christmas.
Stupidity leak.
Ow. Easy.
Sidney!
Oh! Ow!
Jesus! Shit!
It’s just me.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You still think it’s me.
No. No, I-I don’t. It’s just— Somebody was there.
Billy, someone tried to kill me.
I know, I know.
The cops said I scared him away.
It wasn’t me, Sid.
I know. He called me again last night at Tatum’s house.
You see? Couldn’t have been me.
I was in jail. Remember?
I’m so… sorry. Please understand.
Understand what?
That I have a girlfriend… who would rather accuse me of being a psychopathic killer than touch me?
You know that’s not true.
Then what is it?
What… is it?
Billy, I was attacked and nearly filleted last night!
I mean between us.
You haven’t been the same since— since your mother died.
Is your brain leaking? My mom was killed.
I can’t believe you’re bringing this up!
I know. It’s been a year.
Tomorrow! One year tomorrow.
I know. I think it’s time you got over that.
I mean, when my mom left my dad, I accepted it. It’s the way it is.
She’s not comin’ back.
Your parents split up.
This is not the same thing.
Your mom left town.
She’s not lying in a coffin somewhere.
Okay, okay, okay. I’m sorry.
It’s a bad analogy.
But it’s just that…
I want my girlfriend back.
Sid!
Billy.
I am sorry if my traumatized life… is an inconvenience to you and your perfect existence.
What? What–
Nobody said that. Sid!
Stupid!
You make me so sick!
Your entire havoc-inducing, thieving, whoring generation disgusts me!
So, two of your fellow students just savagely murdered, and this is the way you show your compassion and sensitivity, huh?
Let me tell you something.
You’re both expelled! Get out!
Come on, Mr. Himbry!
It was just a joke!
That’s not fair!
You’re absolutely right. It is not fair.
Fairness would be to rip your insides out, hang you from a tree… so we can expose you for the heartless, desensitized little shits that you are.
[Sighs]
[Girl #1] She was never attacked.
I think she made it all up.
[Girl #2]
Why would she lie about it?
For attention!
The girl has some serious issues.
[Toilet Flushes]
And what if she did it?
What if Sidney killed Casey and Steve?
[Girl #2]
And why would she do that?
[Girl #1]
Maybe she had the hots for Steve and killed them both in a jealous rage.
What would Sidney want with Steve?
She has her own bubble-butt boyfriend, Billy.
Maybe she’s a slut, just like her mother.
You’re evil.
Please. it’s a common fact.
Her mother was a tramp.
Cut some slack.
She watched her mom get butchered.
And it fucked her up royally.
Think about it.
Her mother’s death leaves her disturbed and hostile in a cruel and inhumane world.
She’s delusional. “Where’s God?”
Et cetera. Completely suicidal.
One day she snaps.
She wants to kill herself, but she realizes that teen suicide is out this year… and homicide is a much healthier therapeutic expression.
Where do you get this shit?
Ricki Lake.

In what appears to be a prank, several students were seen wearing scary masks.
School officials have yet to comment, but this is known to be the same costume worn by the killer.
Seventeen-year-old Casey Becker and her boyfriend, Steven Orth, have already lost their lives.
Who’s next? You can literally feel the fear on this campus.
Hi! Gale Weathers, field correspondent, Top Story.
I know who you are, Miss Weathers.
How’s the eye?
It’s productive.
Is there a problem on campus?
No, everything’s under control.
Well, of course. You’re here.
You’re not supposed to be here.
I know. I should be in New York covering the Sharon Stone stalker, but who knew?
You look awfully young to be a police officer.
I’m 25 years old.
You know, in a demographic study, I proved to be most popular amongst males 1 1 to 24.
Guess I just missed you.
[Chuckles]
Course, you don’t look a day over 12.
Except in that upper torso area.
Does the force require you to work out?
No, ma’am.
‘Cause of my boyish good looks, muscle mass has increased my acceptance as a serious police officer.
[P.A.: Feedback]
[Himbry]
I need your attention now, kids.
Due to the recent events that have occurred, effective immediately, all classes are suspended until further notice.
[Teens Cheering]
The Woodsboro police department has issued a citywide curfew… beginning at 9:00 tonight.
[Teens Groaning]
Looks like we’ve got a serial killer on our hands.
Serial killer’s not really accurate.
Gotta knock off a couple more to get that title.
Well, we can hope, can’t we?
[Chuckles]
I mean, we certainly don’t have any leads.
Have you located Sidney’s father yet?
No, not yet.
He’s not a suspect, is he?
We haven’t ruled him out as a… possibility.
If you’ll excuse me.
I’m sorry. Am I keeping you?
If I may say so, Miss Weathers, you are much prettier in person.
So you do watch the show.
I’m 25. I was 24 for a whole year.
Please, call me Gale.
It was just some sick fuck having a laugh, Sidney.
No. It was him, Tatum. I know it.
Well, you’re not to be alone anymore, right?
If you pee, I pee. Is that clear?
Cizzool cuz scizzool is izzout.
I don’t know what you did, Sidney, But on behalf of the entire student body, we all say, “Thank you!”
Drop it, Stu.
I say, impromptu party tonight, my house.
Celebrate this little siesta.
What do you say?
[Sidney]
Are you serious?
[Babbling]
This little vixen doesn’t invite the entire world, we’ll be fine.
Intimate gathering, intimate friends.

Maybe he was having an affair with your mom.
I mean, your dad was always out of town on business. Maybe— Maybe your mom was just a very unhappy woman.
If they were having an affair, how come Cotton couldn’t prove it in court?
Well, you can’t prove a rumor.
That’s why it’s a rumor.
Right. Created by that little tabloid twit, Gale Weathers.
It goes further back, Sid.

There’s been talk about other men.
And you believe it.
Well— I mean, you can only hear that Richard Gere gerbil story so many times… before you have to start believing it.
Oh, I’m sorry.

Don’t go there, Sid.

Cool.
What’s that werewolf movie with E.T.’s mom in it?
The Howling. Horror. Straight ahead.
Okay, thanks.
Oh, now that’s in poor taste.
What?
If you were the only suspect in a senseless bloodbath, would you be standing in the horror section?
What? It was just a misunderstanding.
He didn’t do anything.
You’re such a little lapdog.
He’s got “killer” printed all over his forehead.
[Mocking]
Okay! Really?
Well, why’d the cops let him go, smart guy?
Because obviously they don’t watch enough movies.
This is standard horror movie stuff.
Prom Night revisited, man.
Yeah? Why would he want to kill his own girlfriend?
There’s always some stupid, bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend.
Huh?
That’s the beauty of it all: simplicity.
Besides, if it gets too complicated, you lose your target audience.
Well, what’s his reason?
Maybe Sidney wouldn’t have sex with him.
[Laughs]
What, is she savin’ herself for you?
Maybe. Now that Billy tried to mutilate her, do you think Sid would go out with me?
No, I don’t at all. No.
You know who I think it is?
Yo, I think it’s her father.
Why can’t they find her pops, man?
Because he’s probably dead.
His body will come poppin’ up in the last reel somewhere!
Eyes gouged out, fingers cut off, teeth knocked out!
The police are always offtrack with this shit.
Man!
If they’d watch Prom Night, they’d save time.
There’s a formula to it. A very simple formula!
Everybody’s a suspect!
I’m telling you, the dad’s a red herring. It’s Billy.
How do we know you’re not the killer? Huh?
Huh?
Hi, Billy.
Maybe your movie-freaked mind lost its reality button. You ever think of that?
You’re absolutely right.
I’m the first to admit it.
If this were a scary movie, I’d be the prime suspect.
That’s right.
And what would be your motive?
It’s the millennium.
Motives are incidental.
Millennium. Hmm.
Millennium. I like that.
That’s good.
It’s the millennium.
Good kid.
“Millennium.” Good word, my man.
And you’re telling me that’s not a killer.

You’re not scared, are you?
No.
All right.
Great.
Do you know what that constellation is?
No. What is it?
I don’t know.
That’s why I was askin’ you.
[Both Laugh]
[Chattering]
So what happened to Tatum, Stu?
She probably got pissed at me and bailed.
[Boy] Bye.
[Girl]
Bye.
[Stu Kisses, Moans]
No, I’m just kidding.
I’m just kidding.
Hey.
Look! Here comes the obligatory tit shot!
Yes! Oh!
Lovely!
Beautiful! Oh! Oh.
Oh, my God.
I’ll leave you guys alone.
You are so… amazing.
[Ringing]
Hello? Yeah?
Holy shit.
No
Ho— Listen up.
They found Principal Himbry dead.
He was gutted and hung from the goalpost on the football field.
So what are we waiting for?
Let’s go over there before they pry him down!
[Whoops]
Hey.
[Boy]
To arms! To arms!
Hey.
Where you guys–
Where did he say he was?
At the football field!
Come on!
Where you guys goin’?
We were just gettin’ to the good part.
Hello? Yeah?
[Shouting, Whooping]
Where you guys— Whoo!
[Engine Starts]
Whoo!

Hiho, Silver! Let’s go!
[Owl Hooting]
So, is Dewey your real name?
No, it’s Dwight.
Dwight?
I’m sorry.
No, that’s all right.
Dewey’s just somethin’ I got stuck with a long time ago.
Oh.
Well, I like it.
It’s sexy.
Sexy?
Mmhmm.
Ah, it’s just this town’s way of not takin’ me serious.
What about Gale Weathers?
[Giggles]
Sounds like I’m a meteorologist or something.
People treat me like I’m the Antichrist of television journalism.
I don’t think you’re that bad.
No?
No.
[Shouting, Hooting]
I think that’s just ’cause you kinda like me.
They sure are comin’ fast.
Slow down!
Freeze! Jump!
[Gale Screams]
[Groans]
I’m sorry. Are you okay?
Yeah.
I’m sorry. I’m on duty.
[Chuckling]
Is that what you’re looking for?
My whole life.
Damn!
What?
What is it?
This is Neil Prescott’s car.
Sidney’s father?
Yeah.
Jesus. What’s he doing here?
We gotta get back.
You okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I’m fine.
[Chuckles]
Who’d you call?
What?
Well, I don’t know— When you’re arrested, you’re allowed one phone call, so I was just curious
who’d you call?
Called my dad.
No, um, Sheriff Burke called your dad.
I saw him.
Yeah, but when I called I didn’t get an answer.
Huh.
You don’t still think it was me, do you?
[Chuckles]
No.
No. I was just thinking if it were you, it’d be a very clever way to throw me offtrack.
You know, using your one phone call to call me so I wouldn’t think it was you.
That’s all.
Really?
What do I have to do to prove to you that I’m not a killer?
Oh, my God.
Huh?
Oh, my God.

I told you he was right around the corner.
Jamie. Jamie.
Jamie, look behind you. Look behind you.
Turn around. Behind you.
Oh, turn— Behind you!
Behind, Jamie.
Jamie, turn around.
Oh, God! Yeah.
Help me! Help!

Let me in!
The killer’s coming after me!
He’s in the house!
Where? Wait, wait.
There’s a camera in the house. Look.
Behind you!
Oh, God. No.
Oh, shit.

7825, suspect at 105 North Avenue 52.
Hello. Help me, please.
I’m at Stu Marker’s house on Turner Lane.
It’s 261 Turner Lane.
Please. He’s gonna try and kill me.
[Yells]
[Grunting]
[Grunts]
[Randy]
Sidney!
Sidney! Jesus, we’ve gotta get the fuck out of here!
Stop right there!
Don’t shoot. It’s me!
I found Tatum. She’s dead!
I think Stu did it.
Don’t listen to him, Sidney!
Stay back!
Stu did it.
He killed Billy. He killed my Tatum.
You did it!
He killed my Tatum!
No, I didn’t!
You lie! Sidney, baby.
Please, give me that gun!
Give me that gun! Christ, man!
No, I didn’t. No, I didn’t!
Sid, he did it! He did it, Sidney!
Please, I didn’t do it.
He did it. Please!
Please, Sidney. Oh!
Fuck you both!
Please!
No! No! Sidney!
[Banging]
Open up!
[Grunts]
Help me! He’s going crazy!
Sidney!
Go away!
[Banging]
Sidney?
[Whispers]
Leave me alone.
[Grunting]
Sid.
Billy.
[Groans]
Oh! Billy. Billy. Are you okay?
I’m okay.
I thought you were dead.
No. Bleeding like a stuck pig, but I’m all right.
Get up.
I’m okay.
You’re bleeding.
Oh, my God.
We’ve gotta get help.
No, he’s out there!
No, give me the gun.
Give me the gun. It’s okay.
It’s okay. It’s okay.
Careful.
Please help me!
Whoa, whoa.
Come here, come here!
Stu’s flipped out! He’s gone mad!
We all go a little mad sometimes.
No, Billy!
Oh, fuck!

No.
[Gasps]
Stu.
Help me, please.
[Male Voice]
Surprise, Sidney.
No!
[Stu] Ooh!
Oh, now. Whoa.
[Male Voice]
What’s the matter, Sidney?
You look like you’ve seen a ghost.
[Gasps]
Why are you doing this?
It’s all part of the game, Sidney.
It’s called “Guess How I’m Gonna Die.”
Fuck you!
No, no, no, no, no.
We already played that game, remember?
You lost.
It’s a fun game, Sidney.
See, we ask you a question, and if you get it wrong, bookah—you die!
You get it right, you die.
You’re crazy, both of you.
Actually, we prefer the term “psychotic.”
You’ll never get away with this.
Oh, no?
Tell that to Cotton Weary.
You wouldn’t believe how easy he was to frame.
Watch a few movies, take a few notes.
It was fun.
No!
Whoa!
Where you goin’?
[Sobbing]
Why?
[Slaps Counter]
Why did you kill my mother?
Why?
[Shouts] Why?
You hear that, Stu?
I think she wants a motive.
[Chuckling]
I don’t really believe in motive, Sid.
I mean, did Norman Bates have a motive?
No.
Did they ever really decide why Hannibal Lecter liked to eat people? Don’t think so!
See, it’s a lot scarier when there’s no motive, Sid.
We did your mom a favor, Sid.
That woman was a slut-bag whore… who flashed her shit all over town like she was Sharon Stone.
[Stu]
Yeah, we put her out of her misery, ’cause let’s face it, Sidney, your mother was no Sharon Stone, huh?
Is that motive enough for you?
Well, how ’bout this?
Your slut mother was fucking my father, and she’s the reason my mom moved out and abandoned me.
How’s that for a motive?
Maternal abandonment causes serious deviant behavior.
Certainly fucked you up.
It made you have sex with a psychopath.
That’s right. You gave it up.
Now you’re no longer a virgin.
[Giggles]
I said “virgin.” Whoops!
Now you gotta die. Those are the rules.
Just pretend it’s all a scary movie, Sid.
How do you think it’s gonna end?
Oh! Oh! This is the greatest part!
You’re gonna love this.
We got a surprise for you, Sidney.
Yeah, you’re gonna love this one.
It’s a scream, baby!
Hold on a sec. I’ll be right back.
[Mock Scream]
You know what time it is, Sid?
It’s after midnight.
It’s your mom’s anniversary.
Congratulations.
We killed her exactly one year ago today.
Attention! Oh!
What do we have behind door number three, Sidney?
Daddy!
Whoa, hold it.
That’s enough.
[Male Voice]
Guess we won’t be needing this anymore.
And, oh, look at this.
Ring, ring. Won’t need this.
Got the ending figured out yet, Sid?
Come on, Sidney.
You think about it now, huh?
Your daddy’s the chief suspect.
We cloned his cellular.
Evidence is all right there, baby!
What if your father snapped?
Your mother’s anniversary set him off, and he went on a murder spree, killing everyone.
Except for Billy and me.
We were left for dead.
Then he… kills you… and shoots himself in the head.
Perfect ending.
I thought of that.
Watch this.
Ready?
Yeah.
Yeah! I’m ready, baby!
Hit it! Get up!
Yeah, babe, get up! Hit it!
[Groans]
[Gasps] Good one, man.
Jesus.
Oh, shit. My turn.
Don’t forget.
Stay to the side and don’t go too deep.
Okay. I’ll remember.
[Screams]
Fuck! Fuck!
Fuck! Goddamn it, Stu!
Sorry, Billy.
I guess I got a little too zealous, huh?
Give me the knife.
No.
Give me the knife!
Now!
You see, Sid, everybody dies but us.
Everybody dies but us.
We get to carry on and plan the sequel, ’cause let’s face it, baby, these days you gotta have a sequel!
[Stabbing]
[Stu Groaning]
You sick fucks.
You’ve seen one too many movies.
Now, Sid, don’t you blame the movies.
Movies don’t create psychos.
Movies make psychos more creative!
[Yelps]
Stop it, Billy, would you? All right?
I can’t take anymore.
I’m feeling a little woozy here!
All right. All right, you get the gun.
And I’ll untie Pops, okay?
[Dripping]
Now!
Okay.
[Dripping Continues]
[Exhales]
Um. Uh— Houston, we have a problem here.
What?
The gun, man. The gun.
I put it right there, and it’s not there.
Where the fuck is it?
[Hammer Cocks]
Right here, asshole.
Excuse me. I thought she was dead.
She looked dead, man.
Still does.
I’ve got an ending for you.
The reporter left for dead in the news van… comes to, stumbles on you two dipshits, finds the gun, foils your plan and saves the day.
I like that ending.
I know something you don’t.
Fuck. No!
[Grunts]
Yeah, man.
Yeah. Aw, so sweet.
Works better without the safety on.
[Neck Bones Crack]
[Panting]
This is Gale Weathers, signing off.
Baby, you’re gonna love this!
Shit.
What?
Where are they?
Where are they?
[Coughs]
I don’t know, but I’m hurtin’, man.
[Phone Ringing]
Fuck!
Should I let the machine get it?
[Ringing Continues]
Hello?
[Male Voice]
Are you alone in the house?
Bitch! You bitch! Where the fuck are you?
Not so fast. We’re gonna play a little game. It’s called—
[Sidney] “Guess who just called the police and reported your sorry motherfucking ass.”
Find her, you dipshit! Get up!
I can’t, Billy. You cut me too deep.
I think I’m dying here, man.
[Weeping]
Talk to her. Talk to her.
Hello?
Oh, Stu, Stu, Stu.
What’s your motive?
Billy’s got one.
The police are on their way.
What are you gonna tell them?
Peer pressure. I’m far too sensitive.
I’m gonna rip you up, you bitch, just like your fucking mother!
You’ve gotta find me first, you pansy-assed mama’s boy!
Fuck!
Ow. You fuckin’ hit me with the phone, dick!
Fucker, where are you?
[Yelling]
[Fabric Tearing]
You fuck!
[Roars]
[Crashing]
Did you really call the police?
You bet your sorry ass I did.

I’m sorry. It’s all right.
Oh, my God, Randy, I thought you were dead.
I probably should be.
I never thought I’d be so happy to be a virgin.

Fucker!

Say hello to your mother.

[Randy Groaning]
Come on.
[Whimpers]
It’s okay.
Guess I remembered the safety that time, you bastard.
Careful.
This is the moment when the supposedly dead killer comes back to life… for one last scare.
[Grunts]
[Screams] Not in my movie.
[Crash]
[Screaming]
[Muffled Grunting]
[Exhales]
Dad.
Randy, help me out.
Ah. Ah.
You okay?
[Sidney]
I’m sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Hang in there, buddy.
All right.
Over here.
Sorry, kid.
Okay, I think it’s gonna go something like this.
Just stay with me.
[Siren Wailing]
Hi, this is Gale Weathers… with an exclusive eyewitness account of this amazing breaking story.
Several more local teens are dead, bringing to an end the harrowing mystery of the mass killing… that has terrified this peaceful community like the plot of some scary movie.
It all began with a scream over 911… and ended in a bloodbath that has rocked the town of Woodsboro, all played out here in this peaceful farmhouse, far from the crimes and the sirens of the larger cities that its residents had fled.
Okay, let’s take it back to one.
Come on, move it.
This is my big shot. Let’s go.
