Sidney Prescott wakes up sweating from what seems to be a terrible nightmare. She had been having these reoccurring nightmares for months now. The dreams had gotten more real and more intense in the past few days. Sidney was returning to Woodsboro to stay with her father, Neil Prescott, for a couple days because Neil was recently in a serious car accident. Sidney rubs her face and looks at the clock. She gets up and starts getting ready for her trip back home.

CUT TO A LARGE SUBURBAN HOME

EXT. THE MEEKS' RESIDENCE - NIGHT TIME

Martha Meeks walks into the living room carrying a glass of water and a few text books. She sits down to start studying and the phone rings.

MARTHA: Hello?

CALLER (Ghostface voice): Hello, is Martha available? (Ghostface voice)

MARTHA: This is her. May I ask who this is?

CALLER: You don't remember me? We go way back.

MARTHA: Seriously, who is this? I don't have time for this. I have a test to study for.

CALLER: Oh, what kind of test?

MARTHA: A history test.

CALLER: I can help you study.

MARTHA (very sarcastically): Really? That would help me out a lot!

CALLER: Okay, first question, who died first, Casey Becker or Steve Oreth?

MARTHA: What?

CALLER (voice is a bit more aggressive): Too hard? How about this one…Did Billy's mom go crazy before or after Sidney Prescott killed him?

MARTHA: I am hanging up right now!

CALLER (voice is angry): Wait! I have an easy one for you. How loud did Randy scream before he was stabbed to death!

Martha is very distraught and hangs up the phone. Immediately the door bell rings. She is startled and runs to the front door to double check that it is locked. She slowly looks out the door window. Someone taps her on the shoulder and she turns around in fear only to find her mother, Heather.

HEATHER: What's wrong, honey?

MARTHA (she looks around and back out the window.): …Nothing.

HEATHER: Okay, can you help bring the groceries in?

MARTHA: Yeah.

Martha goes to the garage and gets the rest of the groceries. As she walks back in she closes the garage door behind her. She wonders if there is anyone out there but then just shrugs it off. Martha enters the kitchen and screams in horror. The kitchen is splattered with blood and her mother's lifeless body is lying on the floor. Heather turns around and runs right into Ghostface. He stabs her repeatedly, cleans his knife and walks away.
