Scream:
There's a killer on the loose in the once quiet little town of Woodsboro. Casey Becker and her boyfriend, Steve Orith have been found brutally murdered after Casey received a threatening phone call from an anonymous man.

It's all rushing back to Sidney Prescott only 17 years of age. Her mother was found murdered and Sid hasn't gotten over the incident completely. It looks as though she has sent the wrong man to jail and her mother's killer is still out there. It could be anybody. It could be her father, the teachers, that nosy reporter from top story, the sweet deputy, the teens, nobody knows who it is and like Randy yells "EVERYBODY'S A SUSPECT!" ... well except for you dear.

If this killer isn't caught soon, more innocent people are going to loose their lives.
Solving this mystery is going to be murder.

Scream2:

It's been two years since the events at Woodsboro and Sidney Prescott and her close friend, Randy Meeks have moved on and are both students at Windsor College. Gale Weathers is present because her movie, Stab (based on her book The Woodsboro Murders) has premiered and Dewey is no where to be seen but appears after two students have been killed from the college at the premier of Stab. Coincidence?

It's happening again and the killer is a copy cat, murdering those with similar names of the victims in Woodsboro. After Randy is murdered, Gale, Dewey and Sidney realise that this killer is for real, and the other murders were just to throw them off track.

As the film progresses, we begin to ask ourselves: are movies responsible for our actions?

In this case? Yes.

Scream 3:
Who said Hollywood was fake? well... a lot of people actually. But what if I said that the production of Stab 3 and the deaths that surround it ARE real, and that the actors are dieing in the order their character dies in the script. Only there are three different scripts and no one has any idea of which one the killer read.

Want me to take some steps back? Okay slow poke. So after Winsdor College, Sidney Prescott has practically fallen into a black hole. No one knows where she is except Dewey Riley and Neil Prescott, Sidney's father.

Meanwhile, on the bright side, Cotton Weary's career is really taken off. Falsely accused as the killer of Maureen Prescott, Cotton now enjoys a A Class life. Has his own talk show, nice apartment, bitchy looking girlfriend and now a part in Stab 3. Okay, so him an his girlfriend get murdered and UH OH! Another killer is on the lose and looking for Sidney Prescott. Damn shame that. Really thought it was all over... or was it?
