Plot
Two Years following the Woodsboro Massacre Reboot the new Stab 8: The Return Of Sidney hits theatres and three girls Hayley McDonald, Alice Nightingale and Marcie Perkins go to see the movie.

Upon it finishing Marcie departs from the other two to head back to her home while Hayley and Alice press on back to Hayley's apartment.

Back at Hayley's apartment the two girls begin a Stab Film Marathon of the other movies and Alice attempts to Ghostface prank call Marcie at her home.

She fails to pick up and her phone then calls Hayley's apartment phone.

On the phone comes a Ghostface voice Alice believes to be Marcie joking around but what follows is taunts and statements which implicate that Marcie has been murdered.

Alice's mobile phone is then instagramed an image of a dead Marcie followed by a Ghostface graphic which sends Alice in a frenzied panic.

Hayley tries to calm her down and tells her that it has to be a joke.

Alice goes to call the police regardless however and the apartment phone rings again and upon answering comes back the Ghostface voice which tells Alice and Hayley should they try to call the police or contact anyone for help one of them will die messy.

Hayley takes control and tells the caller that she has already called the police and states that if this Marcie she best stop right now.

The caller then states however that he knows for a fact that he knows for a fact that she has not called the police and then addresses her by her name and states that he's in the apartment.

Following this statement down comes a light beam which smashes through one of the apartment window.

Alice then pancis and rushes to the apartment door unlocking it and rushing out onto the staircase.

Hayley rushes forward as the do not disturb apartment next door's open flies open and a Ghostface killer descends upon Alice stabbing her with two knives in two sides on the front of chest before spiralling her off the apartment staircase and causing her to smash her down upon the bottom staircase bar.

Hayley from there relocks the apartment door as the killer begins to smash at the door.

Hayley dials the police pressed up against the kitchen counter and is then seized from behind by a Ghostface which emerges from behind the kitchen counter and chloroforms her.

We then see Bridgeton Officer Joleen Business come to the home of Marcie Perkins where her body is perched against an outside balcony beam.

Written across the room's centre wall is What Is Your Favorite Scary Movie? along with a pinned image of Marnie Cooper.

On the floor of the room is her phone which has a moving Ghostface graphic.

We are then taken to Officer Beacon Dansfield at the Bridgeton Westview Apartment building with officers examining the body of Alice Nightingale which has beside it her phone with a moving Ghostface graphic.

He ventures up into Hayley's apartment and discovers written across a wall is We Have Her.

We then come to a series of news reports on different news channels all titled Ghostface Abroad where we see different maniacs carrying out different killings and felonies under the persona of the iconic Halloween Costume wearing psycho.

We see a Sunshine Studios actress be executed on Cotton Weary's younger brother Calvin's talk show 100 % Calvin by a Ghostface Killer, A Windsor College Student of Omega Beta Zeta be brutally stabbed to death by two of her friends using the Ghostface get-up, A woman be murdered by her ex-boyfriend using a Ghostface get-up the Comic-Con event of Stab and actress Jessica Alba be brutally attacked at the Los Angeles airport by actress Lindsay Lohan who is under the get-up of a Ghostface along with actor Milo Ventimiglia.

We then come to Dewey who receives call from Officer Joleen in regards to the murder of two girls and the abduction of a third who is following the Ghostface get-up.

She asks he assist as he knows the working of movie obsessed killers.

He agrees and tries to cover up what he has been called out for from Gale.

Gale brings in her Woodsboro Massacre Reboot to be published but is rejected and upon discovering Dewey's little secret takes up a job as a reporter for Top Story 2013.

She hires on a bodyguard Callie Craigson and is assigned an overweight camera-man Ernie Breston who highly resembles Gale's former Top Story Camera-Man from 1996 Kenny.

She brings up with Dewey her knowing of what he is up to and tells him that she wants to take a break.

She then calls upon a distraught Sidney who is still mentally recovering from the Woodsboro Massacre Reboot and living in the Roberts House in Woodsboro.

Gale tells her of the murder of two girls by a Ghostface and the abduction of a third.

She tells that the murders of the two girls has been uploaded onto the internet onto the same website Jill and Charlie created under Trevor Sheldon's credentials.

Sidney comes to decide to help Gale and learns that a Stab Reality t.v show is being filmed in the neighbouring town of Bridgeton which she then rolls into with Gale, Callie and Ernie.

There in the town square she is met by Dewey and a large media circus containing pushy Bridgeton reporter Kelli Finnlan.

Kelli bombards Sidney with questions about Jill asking how does it feel to know she had a half-brother who was a sick psychopathic killer and cousin who also was one.

Sidney goes to punch Kelli but brings herself not to.

Gale instead strikes Kelli down with a punch before ushering Sidney away from all the other reporters and photographers followed by Ernie and Callie.

Bridgeton Sheriff William Brexley then steps onto the town square's set up podium and is then spiralled questions by Sidney and Gale.

Dewey comes up to the podium beside Officer Joleen and Officer Beacon.

Gale asks to as wether Sheriff Brexley is going to shut down the production of the Stab reality series in Bridgeton to which he tells her that evidence suggests like all the other Ghostface abroad killings occurring everywhere else that the evidence gathered from both of the crime scene suggests that this was just a personal attack upon the three girls.

Sidney concludes with asking what are they doing to find the missing girl.

Sheriff Brexley informs he has his finest detectives Joleen Business and Beacon Dansfield on the case of the missing girl Hayley McDonald as well as Woodsboro Sheriff Dwight Riley aiding in the search for the Bridgeton Senior.

Kelli Finnlan then steps out and asks Sheriff Brexley wether they are mounting an investigation into Sidney Prescott stating seeing as murder and psychotic behaviour seems to run in their family.

Sidney then herself jumps upon Kelli attacking her.

Dewey, Joleen and Beacon run down to break up the fight as does Gale and Callie who are being filmed by Ernie.

Sidney is brought down to Bridgeton police station where Officer Beacon shows her a recovered picture of her from Hayley McDonald's apartment.

Gale at the police station is informed by Dewey that the detectives already have a theory who will be the targets by the Ghostface Killers.

He tells it to Gale who comes and collects and Sidney who come to meet with Callie and Ernie outside the Bridgeton Police Station.

There she tells her The Stab Reality Series Cast are the suspected targets for a murder spree by the Ghostface Killers who killed the two Bridgeton High School Girls and abducted a third.

We are then introduced to the Stab Reality Series Cast & Crew preparing at their Bridgeton set up warehouse for the show to begin filming at nightfall in the Boardwalk National Park Woods.

In the Warehouse after the Director of the reality series Ronald Milton has a brief discussion with the cast the cast themselves discuss the murders of Alice Nightingale and Marcie Perkins, The Kidnapping Of Hayley McDonald as well as Sidney Prescott arriving in Bridgeton starting a punch on with reporter Kelli Finnlan.

Cast Member Cassidy Dowat states should they be worried as with the track record of everywhere Sidney goes those around her die and Alice, Marcie and Hayley were all originally cast on the series till they backed out.

Cast Member Carl Nette drives the conversation towards what the kindappers would be doing with Hayley and why didn't they just gank her like they did Alice and Marcie.

Cast Member Kendra Tamos brings up she believes Sidney is basically the Omen Damien but a girl and Cast Member Kimberley Catwell claims that Sidney is a still going hard Jamie Lee Curtis who like very few movie heroines actually fights to keep those around her alive.

Cast Member Erin Hicks then steps in and tells that it's true that her sister Judy went through the Woodsboro Anniversary Massacre with her.

From there we see Gale approach Kelli Finnlan at her news van and demand to know the location to where the Stab Reality Series cast will be filming tonight.

After bargaining with her she divolges the location and that night Gale, Sidney, Ernie and Callie come to Boardwalk National Park.

As the filming commences the group seperate and Kelli receives a call from the killer.

Camera-Woman Janice Bretwurst then receives a Ghostface Graphic image on her mobile and presumes it to be from director Milton
