Scream 1

A year after Sidney's mom is murdered, more murders start to occur. She begins to suspect if these murders are related and tries to find the killer as everyone seems to be a suspect.

Summary: Casey Becker, home alone, answers her ringing phone. The man on the other end says he must have dialed the wrong number and hangs up. Soon after he calls again, making flirtatious comments and asking about her boyfriend. At first, Casey plays along, but soon the man starts making threatening and sadistic comments. From there, he goes on to reveal that her boyfriend is tied up on the back patio. Now in control, the caller turns the situation into an extreme horror trivia contest. If Casey answers the trivia questions right, she and her boyfriend, Steven get to live. If she fails to answer correctly, they die. As a starter, she answers the "warm-up question" correctly. Not impressed, the caller then asks her a trick question: "Who is the killer in Friday the 13th?". Casey quickly answers saying the killer is Jason Voorhees, only to be proven wrong, Jason's mother, Pamela Voorhees, was the film's first killer. Jason didn't become the killer until Part 2. The caller then tells Casey that she's earned a bonus question but she has just ended her boyfriend's life. A shocked Casey then hurries to turn the patio lights on and finds Steve has been disemboweled.

The caller promises Casey another round, but Casey instead refuses to answer the question. A chair then smashes the patio door windows, as Casey runs out of the house armed with a kitchen knife. Right after she is caught up by a cloaked figure in a mask and is stabbed in the chest. Now on the ground, she is strangled while attempting to call her parents. With her last ounce of strength Casey takes off the killer's mask and sees his face. Surprised by this revelation, the killer's identity is not shown on-screen.

Meanwhile, as Casey's parents returned home they received their daughter's panicked phone call, only to hear muffled moans on the other end. Instructing his wife to go to the neighbors' house, Casey's father is guided outside by her frantic screaming, as they spot a gutted Casey hanging from a tree in the back garden.

The movie then cuts to Sidney Prescott, who is attempting to cope with the anniversary of her mother's brutal rape and murder. The following night while home and alone, the killer invades her house and attempts to kill her. After a short but intense struggle, the killer disappears. Then Billy, her boyfriend, suddenly comes through Sidney's bedroom window. At first, Sidney is relieved to see Billy but after a cellphone falls out of his pocket she is tempted to believe he was the one who called and attacked her. She runs downstairs and opens the front door, only to run into Dewey, the Sheriff's deputy.

Dewey then has Billy arrested and they all head to the Police Station.

Sidney tries to sort through the trauma of being attacked and, in reaction to circumstantial evidence, unwillingly points an accusatory finger at her boyfriend Billy Loomis. She decides to stay at the home of her friend Tatum Riley, while under the watchful eye of Tatum's brother Dwight, nicknamed Dewey, the Sheriff's deputy. While there, she again receives a phone call from the killer, who tells her she made a grave mistake by thinking Billy Loomis was the killer. He ends their conversation by saying she will find out who the killer is, soon enough...

Already under considerable stress, Sidney is forced to deal with the scandalization of her own attack by ambitious tabloid television newswoman Gale Weathers, who was the author of a tell-all book revealing the promiscuous affair between Sidney's mother and her convicted killer, Cotton Weary. School is soon canceled as a precautionary measure leaving the building temporarily abandoned. The school principal is then killed while still inside the school when he was distracted.

Meanwhile, in the local video store, Stu Macher and Randy Meeks are discussing the killer's identity with Randy openly stating that Billy could be the killer, albeit having a stupid motive with wanting to kill his girlfriend. Stu disagrees, as Randy then continues saying that, in theory, "EVERYBODY'S A SUSPECT!". Right after, Billy comes over and shuts up the startled Randy before pointing out that Randy could just as well be a killer. Due to his intricate horror film knowledge.
