Chapter One
Movie Within A Movie
It's a spooky night. A phone rings. The phone sits in a cradle in the living room. A young teen girl reaches for the phone and answers it.
"Hello." Came the voice of Sherrie.
"Hello." Came the menacing voice of Ghost Face.
"Uh yes." Sherrie said.
"Who is this?" Ghost Face asks.
"Who are you calling?" Sherrie asks as she moves towards the kitchen.
"Who am I speaking to?" Ghost Face asks.
"Wrong number." Sherrie says before hanging up the phone.
"Who was that?" Trudy asked. Trudy is Patty's friend.
"Oh nobody." Sherrie says.
"Have you picked a movie yet?" Trudy asks.
"Yeah. We're going scary. Saw four." Sherrie says.
"Ugg, I saw that in the theatres. It sucks. It wasn't scary at all. It's gross. I hate all that torture porn shit." Trudy says.
"Tell me how you really feel." Sherrie jokes. "I like jigsaw. I think he kills people creatively."
"That's because there's no character development. It's just body parts and blood sprewing everywhere." Trudy says.
"Who do you keep texting?" Sherrie asks.
"My facebook stalker." Trudy says. "He keeps leaving me messages."
"Like what?" Sherrie asks.
"You know like, hey, what's up, you're hot, I wanna kill you." Trudy says.
"Then delete him." Sherrie says.
"I did but he keeps hacking his way back in." Trudy says.
"Then delete him again." Sherrie says.
"He's really hot though. Wanna see?" Trudy asked. Her friend goes over to her and looks at the picture of the guy on her phone.
"That's Channing Tatum." Sherrie says.
"It is not. Is it?" Trudy asks.
"Yep from his abecrombe days. You are being punked." Sherrie says before the phone rings again. She goes to pick up the phone again. "Hello."
"Who is this?" Ghost Face asks.
"The impatient version of the person you just spoke to." Sherrie replies.
"I'm sorry, you don't have to be a bitch about it." Ghost Face tells her.
"Sure I do. Eat me." Sherrie says.
"If you hang up on me, I'll cut your neck until I feel bone!" Ghost Face says.
"Who is it?" Trudy asks.
"It's for you." Sherrie said handing her the phone.
"Hello." Trudy says in the phone.
"Who Is This!" Ghost Face asks.
"Trudy who is this?" She asks.
"The last person you're ever going to see." Ghost Face said menacingly. Trudy hung up the phone. "Why did you hand the phone to me?"
"You're the one with the stalker." Sherrie told her.
"Are the doors locked?" Trudy asked her.
"Don't freak out." Sherrie told her.
The phone rings again.
"Let it ring." Sherrie said.
The ringing stops but Trudy receives a message.
"It's from stalker boy. He said to answer the phone." Trudy said.
"It's a joke Trudy. It's probably Lexi pulling a prank." Sherrie said following Trudy to the foyer. "What are you doing?" She asks.
"I'm going to make sure the door is locked." Trudy told her.
The doorbell rings. Sherrie goes for the door but Trudy stops her.
"No don't open the door." Trudy tells her.
"You're overreacting. It's just a joke. Someone created a stupid profile to scare you." Sherrie told her.
"Wait. Who is it?" Trudy asked. "I said who is it?" She asked agin but there was no answer. She receives another message. "I dare you to open the door." She read aloud. Trudy begins to unlock the door. "No don't. I'm scared."
"It can be anyone we know. Lisa, Bailey, wayne or the hopeful longshot. Channing Tatum." Sherrie unlocks the door and looks outside. "There's no one outside."
Trudy receives another message.
"What's it say?" Sherrie said.
"It says, I'm not outside. I'm standing right next to you." Trudy said before Ghost Face appears and stabs her in the chest.
"Trudy!" Sherrie yells. She tries to run out of her house but ghost face appears and slices her neck open. Blood gushes out of her neck as she dies.
The words Stab 6 appears on a TV set. Two blonds are sitting on the couch watching the movie.
"Fucking kidding me?" Rachel says.
"What?" Chloe asks.
"That was so fucking stupid. Pure horse shit. The death of horror movies right in front of us." Rachel says.
"I jumped it scared me." Chloe said.
"A fucking facebook killer, you're kidding me right?" Rachel says getting up to go to the refrigerator.
"I guess now it would be twitter. That'd make more sense." Chloe says.
"A bunch of articulate teens sitting around deconstructing horror movies until ghost face kills them one by one. It's been done to death. The whole self-aware, post-modern medda-shit. Stick a fork in it already." Rachel says.
"I like the stab movies. It's scarier. It's not aliens, or zombies or little Asian ghost girls. There's something real about a guy with a knife who just snaps." Chole says opening a can of soda.
"I can't do it. These don't know when to stop. They recycling the same shit. Even the opening scene. There's some random girl who gets a phone call that undoubtablely get her killed. It's all so predictable. There's no element of surprise. You can see everything coming." Rachel says. Suddenly Chloe stabs her in the abdomen.
"Did that surprise you?" Chloe asks her watching the blood pore out of her. She stabs her again.
"Why?" Rachel asks.
"Because you talk too much. Now shut the fuck up and watch the movie." Chloe said as she turns back to the TV.
The words Stab 7 appears on another TV screen.
"Oh my god. I love it. I've seen it five times and it still gets me every time." Jennie said.
"You're kidding? I don't get it." Marnie said. Jennie turns off the television.
"Ok. It's like the twilight zone. A movie within a movie." Marnie said.
"I get that it. It's logical. It begs that question that if the beginning if stab 7 is stab 6, then is the beginning of stab 6 really Stab 5 and if so what is stab 4 about?" Jeanine asked.
"You're over thinking it." Marnie told her.
"Am I or did the person who make this under think it? There's a reason I don't watch these movies." Jeanine said.
"I can't believe you haven't seen these movies. We live in Woodsboro." Jennie said.
"It has nothing to do with Woodsboro. I thought you said. This was based on a true story?" Marnie asked.
"The first trilogy was. It was based on Sidney Prescott and she threatened to sue them if they used her story and so they started making stuff up. Stab 5 is about time travel, by far the worst." Jennie said.
"Don't we hear enough about this story every year?" Marnie asks.
"At least Woodsboro is known for something." Jennie says.
They hear a noise.
"Did you hear something?" Jennie asked.
"No." Marnie told her.
"I did. I'm gonna check it out." Jennie gets up to leave.
"You're just trying to scare me." Marnie said.
"No I'm not." Jennie said.
"You do it all the time." Marnie said. "Where are you going?"
"I told you I heard something." Jennie said heading up to her room. Marnie is watching her.
"I know you're trying to scare me." Marnie said.
"I'm not." Jennie said as she headed up her room. She turns on the light and notices a window open.
"I must've left my window open." Jennie said.
Marnie hears the phone ringing.
"Can you get that?" Jennie asks.
"Hello." Marnies said.
"Who is this?" Ghost Face's voice.
"Marnie who's this?" Marnie asks.
"The last person you're going see." Ghost Face's voice.
"What?" Marnie asks scared. She hears laughter on the other end.
"I'm sorry. I had to." Jennie said laughing.
"You bitch." Marnie said. "So not funny.
"Somebody falls for it everytime." Jennie said.
"I don't see why you get off on…" Marnie says. A gargling sound can be heard by Jennie who is now alarmed.
"Marnie! Marnie!" Jennie said as she left her room and rand down stairs. She sees the phone on the floor. "Good one Marnie, Lights out, the phone on the floor. You really should direct horror movies." Jennie said. "Where ever you are." The phone rings. "Your timing is perfect but you don't have an app on your phone so you can't talk like ghost Face."
"Yes I can. Can you?" Ghost Face said.
"Who is this?" Jennie asks.
"Not an app." Ghost Face.
"Is this Trevor?" Jennie asks.
"Do I sound like a Trevor to you? Think of me as your director. You're in my movie. You've got a fun part. So don't blow it." Ghost Face said.
"What movie?" Jennie asks.
"The same one Marnie was in only hers got cut way back but you, you're the dumb blond with big tits. We'll have some fun with you before you die." Ghost Face said.
"I have a 4.0 GPA and 135 IQ asshole. What did you do with Marnie?" Jennie asks.
"She's on the cutting room floor." Ghost Face said.
"That's not funny." Jennie said.
"This isn't a comedy. It's a horror film. People die. And you'd better start running." Ghost Face said throwing Marnie's body through the window. Jennie jumps as she see Ghost Face. She takes off running toward s the front door but Ghost Face is right on her. Ghost Face has the night poised to strike her but misses stabbing the door. Jennie takes off running up the stairs. Ghost face follows looking for her. Jennie turns on the light to the garage. The door opens and Ghost Face is right there. Ghost Face chases Jennie towards another door. Ghost Face stabs her in the back. She screams and then falls. Jennie crawls down the stairs with Ghost Face following her. She presses the button the panel to open the garage door. She begins crawling towards the open garage door. She tries to crawl out Ghost Face pushes the button that closes the garage door. It slams into her back causing Jennie more pain. Ghost Face goes over to her and pulls her back in then turns her over. Jennie screams as she is stabbed repeatedly to her death.
