Scream

In the fictional town of Woodsboro, California, high school student Casey Becker receives an unsettling late-night phone call from an unknown man. What starts as flirtatious small talk about horror films turns deadly when the caller reveals her boyfriend Steve is tied up outside. He forces Casey to answer horror-movie trivia; when she fails a question about Friday the 13th, Steve is killed. Casey is then stabbed and found disemboweled, hanging from a tree in her yard. The murders shake Woodsboro and reawaken trauma for Sidney Prescott, whose mother Maureen was raped and murdered the previous year — a crime for which a man named Cotton Weary was convicted. Sidney begins receiving taunting phone calls and is attacked in her home by a masked figure in a black robe and white 'Ghostface' mask. Her boyfriend Billy Loomis arrives at her window just after the killer flees, and police trace a call to Sidney's father's cell phone, though Neil Prescott cannot be located. Opportunistic tabloid TV reporter Gale Weathers arrives to cover the story, convinced Cotton Weary is innocent. The local high school is closed after further killings, and a group of teens including Sidney, Billy, her best friend Tatum Riley, Tatum's boyfriend Stu Macher, film-obsessed Randy Meeks, and others gather for a party at Stu's remote house. During the party, the killer strikes again: Tatum is murdered when the garage door crushes her neck. News cameraman Kenny, who is working with Gale, is also killed. Deputy Dewey, Gale's young escort and Tatum's older brother, is stabbed and left for dead. Sidney's father is revealed to have been kidnapped and is found bound and gagged. As the party descends into chaos, Billy reappears seemingly wounded. He then shoots Randy and reveals himself, along with Stu, as the two killers behind all of the Woodsboro murders — including Maureen Prescott's. Billy explains that he murdered Maureen after discovering she had an affair with his father, which caused Billy's mother to abandon the family; he blames Sidney's mother for destroying his home. The pair planned to frame Sidney's father for the killings. Sidney fights back: she incapacitates Billy and drops a television set on Stu's head, killing him. Gale Weathers returns and shoots Billy with a gun Sidney had dropped. When Billy lunges for one final attack, Sidney shoots him fatally in the head. As dawn breaks, Sidney's father is rescued and Deputy Dewey is taken away by ambulance, alive.
