In Scream 2 (1997), directed by Wes Craven, Sidney Prescott tries to rebuild her life at college when a new Ghostface emerges. The murders are tied to a movie, Stab, based on the original Woodsboro killings. With the help of reporter Gale Weathers, ex-cop Dewey Riley, and her friends, Sidney faces a new deadly conspiracy that blends revenge, betrayal, and horror movie tropes.
Scream 2 follows Sidney at Windsor College, where a new Ghostface targets students. The murders start during the premiere of Stab, a film based on Woodsboro’s events. Dewey arrives to protect Sidney, while Gale investigates the killings. The killer’s plot escalates, leading to the revelation of two masterminds: Mickey, a film student, and Mrs. Loomis, avenging her son Billy from the first movie. After a tense showdown, Sidney defeats the killers, reaffirming her resilience. The film explores sequel "rules" while mixing horror and satire, receiving acclaim for its thrills and commentary.
