History WMG / Scream

* He and [[spoiler: Riley]] are the only ones of the teens who are not in major promotional material and since [[spoiler: she's]] dead now, Jake can't last much longer.

Since he and [[spoiler: Riley]] are the only ones of teens not in major promotional material and since [[spoiler: she's]] dead now, Jake can't last much longer.

* Jake putting Noah in the middle of the lake and Noah spray painting Jake's car was just an aversion to keep others from suspecting that they're working together.

* The "bobcat and shark" speech from episode 3 seems to point in this direction.

* Who better than the GenreSavvy MetaGuy with knowledge of fictional slashers to be the slasher himself?

In a {{Film/Wes Cravens New Nightmare}} style twist the fifth scream will take place in a world where Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Jamie Kennedy really did play roles in films called Scream and now someone obsessed with the movies is after them.

Think about the sort of punishment he goes through throughout the series only to escape with little or no lasting effect. Even his limp from a 'severed nerve' is convientiently invisible and vague enough to be psychosomatic, a sympton he convinced himself he had, because a full recovery within months would be so implausible.

[[WWG: Dewey is ''Film/Unbreakable'']]

Sid, Dewey and Gale armed to the teeth waiting for the next killer to show up. They blow him/her away and the rest of the movie would focus on Maureen's life while adding new things to make it seem like Ghostface was around before Sidney.

* Or the scene in ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'' where they walk onto the set of Stab 4, which is being directed by WesCraven.

* Pride: Jill
* Wrath: Mrs. Loomis
* Lust: Billy
* Greed: Mickey
* Gluttony: Stu
* Envy: Roman
* Sloth: Charlie
** I always thought Jill was envy.
*** probably, but Roman was envious of Sid before she was famous and truly wanted to kill her.
[[WMG: Stu is still alive.]]

[[spoiler: Not via ressurection, but by some bizzare way, he survived getting shot in the head (I looked it up, it's possible to some degree, like if the bullet is stuck in the skull). All new characters will be Red Heerings like in the previous films, making TheReveal much more surprising. He will express disgust on how horror is all the same now, and is trying to take it back to it's classic roots saying somthing along the lines of "You can't kill the classics" and "The best always come back".]]

* But that only happened in the Pay-Per-View cut. Also, she's not a doctor and she was obviously nervous, having seen so many corpses in one night ([[Kate, Hoss, Perkins]]), she could've easily made a mistake. Not to mention she spent like half a second checking his pulse, which probably isn't enough time if the person is dying and his heart rate is slowing down.

* Or the scene in JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack where they walk onto the set of Stab 4, which is being directed by WesCraven.

While these rules are mostly set in stone, the characters on both the protagonist and antagonist ends of the curve strive to change them in some way. Such as Sidney surviving despite not being a virgin.

* And just for the record, this wouldn't be a [[spoiler: resurrection like so many ''ANightmareOnElmStreet'' or ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' movies, just make it so Randy didn't die. Maybe he survived his injuries, was transported to a hospital in a different city (one closer to his family, probably) and he's been laying low]] for the last little while.

He was electrocuted I know, but take horror movie physics away and you got the odds of surviving an electrocution. Not to mention after the TV stopped shocking him he made a moan before passing out. It sounded like a faint sign of life.

* Sloth: Charlie

One of the characters in Scream 4 mentioned that Stab 5 involved time travel, which is possible foreshadowing of the sequel. It won't be the standard time travel, though. Instead, we'll have flashbacks of Sidney's mom trying to escape from a killer (maybe Billy and Stu), and at the same time, have Sidney running from the same killer and trying to figure out his identity.

Sidney can't possibly stay sane after all of that.

He possesses people and motivates them to kill. As for possessing multiple people at once, either he's one ghost that can split up or many ghosts that can form into one collective.

** Yeah but he seemed a bit unstable to be a puppet master type villian

** This troper seconds this. [[spoiler: Even though they play a role in the climax, they feel unnessary to the storyline. It really wouldn't be a bad thing if the same thing happens to Sidney. The more she's in these movies the more likely it is she's going to end up murdered.]]

** [[spoiler: Randy is, without a doubt, dead.]] Not only do we see him getting stabbed and killed, we also see that his throat's been slit. [[spoiler: Add that to the fact that Joel mentions that his van is a crime scene, Randy's sister is sad about his death in Scream 3, and the fact that he has never been so much as mentioned as being alive for two and a half movies..... yeah.]] He's dead. It's like saying [[spoiler:Tatum, Rebecca, or Trevor is alive. Their deaths are 100% final. If you want deaths which may have been survivable look at Kirby (Same wounds as Sidney, never mentioned again) or Robbie (Not wounded as bad as Dewey has been, alive for a while afterwards, paramedics are seen coming up and pulling out their equipment in the background of a scene)]] Now those characters may have survived

** Considering [[spoiler:Jill killed off Charlie when he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived his usefulness]], whose to say one of the other killers wasn't a victim who she killed for the same reason?]]

* Maybe the director`s assistant for the Bluntman & Chronic movie (played by Jamie Kennedy) was actually Randy Meeks, having [[spoiler: survived his attack in Scream 2]]. (I refer you to the first WMG on this page.) It would explain why he is so [[StealthPun meek]], timid, and jittery ([[spoiler: being attacked by a killer would do that to you]]). But it would also show that he is working his way up in Hollywood from lowly director`s assistant to an actual director, eventually.

Search your hearts, you know it to be awesome.
