Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Scream 2 is a
1997 horror film, the second part of the Scream trilogy. This movie
takes place one year after the original. As with the other films in the
trilogy, Scream 2 combines straight-forward scares with dialogue that
satirizes conventions of slasher films, especially (in this case)
slasher film sequels. Sidney Prescott and Randy Meeks attend Windsor
College in Ohio. While attending the preview of Stab, based on a book by
Gale Weathers about the Woodsboro murders, Phil Stevens is stabbed
through the wall of a bathroom cubicle. The killer sits next to Maureen
Evans, and she assumes the killer is her boyfriend wearing a mask.
During the Casey Becker death scene the crowd goes wild. Taking
advantage of this, the killer stabs Maureen. Since many of the
movie-goers are wearing the killer's costume (as publicity material
provided by the movie studio) and carrying fake knives, nobody takes
Maureen's attack seriously.
