* CommonKnowledge: It's commonly speculated that [[spoiler:both Amber and Richie have their own unique attack style when using the knife, specifically that Amber [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill stabs her victims multiple times for an overkill]] whereas Richie goes for a OneHitKill by delivering a single attack to his victims' necks. As such, fans who follow the kill style theory conclude that both Ghostfaces have an equal number of victims as Judy died from multiple stab wounds, supposedly Amber's style, whereas Vince, the hospital guard, and Wes died from a single neck injury, which is supposedly Richie's modus operandi.]][[note]]The other two victims, Liv and Dewey, are unambiguously Amber's as she guns down the former during her Ghostface reveal and executes the latter while her partner Richie is "escaping" with Sam and Tara.[[/note]] However, WordOfGod and [[AllThereInTheScript the script]] debunk this fan theory in various ways. [[spoiler:Notably, Radio Silence stated in [[https://archive.is/pHU2Z#selection-4279.170-4289.11 an interview]] that Amber holds the majority of the kills, contradicting the kill style theory's claim that Amber and Richie both have three kills. The script ''does'' confirm that Richie killed Wes, but it also confirms that Amber murdered the hospital guard as Richie had [[TheAlibi an airtight alibi]] at the motel. In addition, Radio Silence remarked in the aforementioned interview that they had scriptwriters James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick figure out which Ghostface did which kill, which is important since Vanderbilt indirectly verified on [[https://archive.is/uYej4 Twitter]] that Judy's killer was male, meaning that Judy died to Richie rather than Amber as the kill-style theory alleges.]]



** [[spoiler:Amber and Richie choose to stalk, harass, and kill a bunch of people because they were upset at the direction the latest ''Stab'' film took, taking it as a personal insult to the fans of the series. Following the release of ''Film/HalloweenEnds'', Rohan Campbell (who played newcomer Corey Cunningham) was harassed on social media for "ruining" a movie that changed the formula compared to previous films. Much like Rian Johnson's ''Stab'', ''Ends'' was also met with a fandom campaign to have the film remade.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: The ''Stab 8'' Ghostface is seen using a flamethrower while in his costume, leading to the in-universe fans accusing the ''Stab'' franchise of JumpingTheShark. Come the [[Film/ScreamVI next installment]], and that film's Ghostface uses a shotgun to kill someone for real while ''also'' wearing the iconic costume. It was all made better by a more favorable fan reception.

* TheWoobie: Right from the start of the film, Tara really gets put through the wringer, and considering she’s TheCutie, it can get pretty sad to watch. [[spoiler:She’s terrified for her life from the first phone call, gets stabbed several times to the point that she’s hospitalized for the rest of the film, gets attacked in the hospital and ends up falling out of her wheelchair, has to crawl away from the killer while clearly in pain and begging for her life, gets taken out of the hospital for her safety, can’t find her inhaler she needs, requiring the group to stop at Amber’s party to get her backup, gets attacked ''again'' while they’re there, ends up BoundAndGagged... and after all of this is ultimately able to end up [[BadassAdorable saving the day]] with a BigDamnHeroes moment. Though even though she [[ThrowTheDogABone finally catches a break by surviving and finally being truly safe]], the best thing she has to look forward to is just the high from the stronger painkillers she’s going to get after all this, although her relationship with Same does at least improve.]]

* QuestionableCasting:
** [[spoiler:The filmmakers would like you to believe that the very petite Amber (played by Mikey Madison, who is 5'3" and has a tiny frame) was the one responsible for the hospital attack, when the stunt person in the costume was very obviously someone about the same size (or even taller than) as Creator/DavidArquette and Creator/JackQuaid. To be fair, the scenes where it’s implied that Amber is Ghostface display her focusing on ambush tactics, though this doesn’t explain how she’s able to charge Dewey into a wall.]]
** Creator/JasminSavoyBrown, Creator/MasonGooding and Creator/DylanMinnette each play high schoolers the same age as Creator/JennaOrtega, who's younger than each by eight years, six years and four years respectively. Jasmin specifically is also only four years younger than Creator/MelissaBarrera and two years younger than Creator/JackQuaid, and each are supposed to be much older than her. However, with Mason and Dylan, it's almost plausible, like with Creator/MikeyMadison and Sonia Ben Ammar, who are each only three years older than Jenna, but can easily be argued to still look the part despite their actual ages.
