** That would make sense because, as stated in Scream 4, only the first 3 Stab movies are based in fact, and the series apparently went downhill after that. (It would explain why the killer in Stab 4 was [[spoiler: a [[EverythingIsBetterWithMonkeys monkey.]]]]

For example, in the actual scene, there's two synth stingers that occur during the scene: The first one when Michael comes out of the closest to pin Bob to the door, and the second one when it cuts to the closeup of Michael before he lift's Bob off the ground. However, in the ''Scream'' universe, the second stinger occurs when Michael stabs Bob. And after the stab occurs, and Randy pauses the tape, it shows Michael holding up the butcher knife and breathing heavy. This indicates that for the ''Scream'' universe, Michael is shown pulling the knife back out of Bob after being shown that Michael had him pinned to the door. So, for the ''Scream'' universe, the iconic line from ''Aliens'' may in fact be "Stay away from her, you bitch" instead of "Get away from her, you bitch" as we know it in the real world. It may be the filmmaker's way to show how the world of the films are slightly different from our reality.

[[WMG: Dewey has been suffering survivor's guilt since the first film, has been motivated by it and has been quiet about it the whole time.]]
A lot of people assume that Dewey has forgotten Tatum during the course of the films. However, Dewey is a guy with a big heart (David Arquette himself has even said so in promoting the upcoming film), and there's a good chance that he hasn't forgotten Tatum. Due to Tatum dying when he was suppose to be keeping an eye on the party, [[ItsAllMyFault Dewey may blame himself for her death]], and felt guilt that [[SurvivorGuilt he survived when she didn't]], leading him to focus on not only fighting the killers of the films that have come up after that, but [[BigBrotherInstinct protecting Sidney]] and their friends [[HiddenDepths as a means of atoning for his inability to protect his sister]] without ever having to mention why or mention her to explain his actions. He doesn't forget Tatum, but he doesn't mention her because he's trying to keep himself together for the people he cares about. This also explains why he became somewhat better at being a protector and being proactive to try to find out who the killers are in comparison to how he was in the first film. He may have felt better at the end of the third film by protecting Sidney and Gale, believing everything was over, but he never told Gale or Sidney about his guilt over his perceived failure because he didn't want them to see him as TheLoad and worry about him.

In the second film, it seems odd that Randy got such an iconic line from ''Aliens'' incorrect, saying it was "Stay away from her, you bitch" while the correct line was spoken by his classmate. But there may be a reason behind it, and that it wasn't a goof. In the ''Scream'' universe, the line really is "Stay away from her, you bitch" and it shows that despite the similarities between the real world we know and the world of the films, there are differences between them. It's not the only time that something like this happened. In the first film, John Carpenter's ''Halloween'' is seen at Stu's party. However, the scene where Bob gets killed is slightly different from the scene as it actually is.

* One of things that the new 2022 Scream trailer reveals, is that this Ghostface is going after family members of the Killers from past films. This mean's that he or she could be anyone from Sidney, herself, who finally snaps, to a past victim who survived, to a family member of a past victim who is getting revenge by going after the families, like Randy's brother or cousin for example.

It would add another thing for Sidney and company to wonder about in addition to try to figure out who the killer is, or if the vigilante and whomever is in the Ghostface costume now are both partners in crime but are adding superheroes into the mix to confuse everyone.

* Since 1-3 follow the rules of a film trilogy, and 4 follows the rules of a remake, the only logical next step is to have Scream 5 follow the rules (or lack there of) of a reboot. While remakes can deviate somewhat from the source material but typically have to follow the same plot points, reboots, which have become fairly commonplace in Hollywood as of 2021, and by extension Scream 5, who’s official title is simply Scream, similar to how reboots just use the original title, no numbers or subtitles, don’t have to follow these same rules, as they allow filmmakers and writers to essentially rewrite a preexisting story and create their own rules, shaking up a franchise that has possibly become stagnant over the years. This will give the new ghostface a chance to truly shake up the formula set by their predecessors, possibly even resulting in the death or deaths of Sidney, Dewey, or Gale.

\n* Randy is pointing out that sex and drugs are usually death flags in classic slasher films because slasher villains are notorious for interrupting sex/drug scenes. It's not a coincidence that Billy and Sidney are having sex while Randy watches Bob and Lynda die in ''Halloween'' since Ghostface is going to interrupt Billy and Sidney just as Michael did for Bob and Lynda.

[[WMG: Dewey was a third Ghostface in the first movie.]]
* First of all, there's evidence that suggests there might've been a third Ghostface, specifically the scene where Sidney and Tatum are talking on Tatum's porch while being watched by a Ghostface. The very next scene shows that both of the confirmed killers are at the video store. Maybe enough time had passed between those two scenes that whichever one was watching them could leave, change, and go to the video store, but it doesn't look like much time passes between the two scenes, if any at all.
* There's two things that point to it possibly being Dewey:
** The first is that he survives being stabbed, just like how the killers were planning to make it look with themselves.
** And the second is the scene in the store with Sidney and Tatum. Right after, Dewey goes to meet up with his boss and says he was watching over Sidney. But if that's true then how could he have missed the clear-as-day Ghostface that was following her and Tatum in the store? Unless...

** No they're not based on horror movie tropes In fact, it's the complete opposite of what Scream says as seen through my examples given. Those aren't "broken rules", those are actual examples including 1 from a movie that's playing while Randy is saying these rules. It's more playing into how people perceive horror films. Or smart Aleck pop culture know it all's who in fact don't know anything if you actually watch these movies.

** I think you misunderstood the idea behind the rules. Remember, the first set of rules are for "How to Successfully Survive a Horror Movie." They are based on horror movie tropes from years before, rules that people believed came to be with films like ''Halloween''. John Carpenter himself stated he disliked how other filmmakers came to form the "sex leads to death"/"only a virgin can survive" cliché from his film, when he truly stated that Laurie survived because she was somewhat more observant while her friends were just too busy focusing on living life (Laurie is the one who notices Michael first before her friends did, just as much as Tommy was observant about seeing Michael outside of the Wallace house across the street while Laurie was too focused on finding out Annie had set up a date between her and her crush Ben Tramer, again a typical teenager issue). But, as anyone knows: rules are meant to be broken, and the Scream franchise clearly broken the typical "horror movie" rules. So, if anything, you're argument is correct, but for the wrong reason: the rules of a typically horror movie is established, rules that are typical in horror movies before that point. The first Scream intended to break the rules, as it was meta-commentary on horror movies from before that point.

[[WMG: Jennifer wasn't killed]]
* People have commented that her death was so fast and non explicit that it was easy to miss and she ''wasn't'' fatally stabbed on-screen and seemed to be yelling out ''after'' being thrown through the mirror, but before hitting the ground. She could have just been unconscious and LeftForDead by Dewey and Gale.

** First of all: you for the third rule: Don't say "I'll be right back." However, though your argument is compelling, there's an aversion here with what you're suggesting that you may not have taken into account: As you pointed out Laurie broken one (technically two since she had three different kids in three different timelines, with her dying in one and continuing to survive in two) in her entire exist, and has continued to survive in two separate timelines of the story. Alice broken two/three rules (I saw three, because she may have already broken the no sex rule before the main bulk of the story began, and may have broken the "I'll be right back" rule sometime after the events of the first film) and died at the start of Part 2. This suggests that if someone only breaks one or two rules, they'll continue to survive, but, their chances of survival are reduced but not completely "you're screwed" territory). The same is true in the Scream series. Sidney only broke one rule, and survived four films in the series (she might have broken the drinking rule, thus having two rules broken). Randy broke two rules (drinking out the wazoo in the first film, and as we learn in between the first and second film, broke the "no sex" rule, which he himself realized was a mistake according to his tape), but he may have also broken the "I'll be right back rule" sometime between the first two films and completely forgot it. The rules he states doesn't state it has to be on screen when they're broken for the death sentence.
** But then again, just because a character break the rules in the first film and survives doesn't guarantee they'd survive any sequels. Remember, the first set of rules are for "How to Successfully Survive a Horror Movie." But, as anyone knows: some rules are meant to be broken, and the Scream franchise clearly broken the typical "horror movie" rules. So, if anything, you're argument is correct, but for the wrong reason: the rules of a typically horror movie is established.
