Scream V (2022) My Version
Chapter Thirty-Three: The Final Act
When Nathan hadn't returned to the group of friends, Stacy worried for him and decided to go looking for him. When no one was looking, she snuck back upstairs to heading to Amber's parents' room. She and Nathan had sex in the room and then she left. When he hadn't left she decided to check on him. He was probably jerking off. She knocked lightly on the door.
"Nate, you decent?" She asked wondering where he was. The light was dim in the room. She sneaks into the room closing the door lightly so no one could hear them. With the music blaring, they wouldn't be heard anyway. Infact their little fuck session wasn't heard by anyone accept the two of them. "Nathan." She called to him. No response. She could see him sprawled out of the messy bed his pants undone lying face down in a pile of panties. She smirked thinking had been jerking off to Amber's mom's undies. She was right of course but still she wanted to make sure he was ok. "Nate get up. Did you fall asleep masturbating?" She laughed at her own joke. When she noticed he didn't move, her smile disappeared and is replaced by a worried expression. "Nathan!" She called out to him leaning down and pulling his shoulder to turn him over to reveal his dead corpse. She steps back letting out a piercing scream.
She turned to leave the room but there blocking the exit is ghost face. Stacy tries to run in the opposite direction towards the bathroom but ghost face catches her pulling her by her hair raising the knife and slamming into her back. Stacy screams again while being manhandled by ghost face. Ghost face spins her around covers her mouth and stabs her in the stomach sliding the knife up her torso. Her blood spills out of her along with her guts and intestines. Stacy bleeds through her mouth before falling to the floor of the room dead. Ghost face escapes the room unseen again.

The party goers all begin to disperse out of Amber's house. They party was officially over. Tara had been looking for Chad but could not find him anywhere. She was starting to worry. Mindy had turned on the tv to watch a movie. More specifically she wanted to watch the original Stab movie. Sam had went onto the back porch to have a cigarette.
Richie is looking for Sam. When she went to the bathroom and didn't come back he got worried. Mindy is still on the couch drunk watching Stab. Richie pokes his head in.
"Do you know where Sam is?" Richie asked.
"Nope." Mindy responded.
"Ok. Do you know if there's any beer left? There's none in the kitchen." Richie asked.
"There's some in the basement." Mindy said.
"You wanna come with me?" Richie asked.
"No, but you were right to ask." Mindy said to him.
Richie weighs his fear with his need for beer. Beer wins. He grabs the other candlestick off the mantle.
"I'll be right bac-" he starts to say but stops himself. As soon as he realizes, he winces. He lifts the weapon and heads towards the basement. Mindy shakes her head.
"Well, he's dead..." Mindy said as she settles back into the movie when we see anfigure move behind her! She spins to see it's -- LIV. Surprisingly very much alive. And pissed.
"Goddamn Uber cancelled on me...Could this night get any shittier?" She asked rhetorically. Mindy sits up, looking at her strangely. Her brother was missing. She was sure she seen him leave the house after his phone ring getting a message from who must've believed to be Liv.
"Where's my brother?" Mindy asked her angrily.
"I don't know and I do t give a fuck." Liv said angrily.
"He went looking for your stanking ass!" Mindy shouted.
"I didn't see him, okay?" Liv asked as Mindy glared at her. "I don't know why. He knows how I feel about him."
"Just revising my suspect list." Mindy said to her.
Liv steps towards her, suddenly menacing.
"You afraid of me, Mindy? You think I did something to your brother? You think I'm going to cut you up?" Liv asked. Mindy didn't move or flinch. She was not afraid of her.
"I'm not afraid of you. And if you've done something to my brother, I'll cut your bitch ass up myself." Mindy said angrily. Liv looked deep into her eyes and knew she was not lying. There was a hidden hatred she had for Liv due to how she treated Chad and Mindy wasn't afraid to defend her brother.
"I didn't do anything to Chad. Besides you said I was boring. But maybe that's the twist, right? What do you think? You're the expert. And you know what eventually happens to the expert?" Liv asked. She draws her finger across the throat. Mindy looks at her annoyed. Liv smiles. Looks to the TV. Mindy shook her head the annoyance on her face. "Enjoy your stupid movie." She turns and heads out. To settle her nerves, Mindy takes a sip of her beer.

Billy, Sidney and Gale have looking tough the facebook profiles of Tara and her friends for hours with no luck. Something caught Sidney's eye on the Tara's profile. One of her classmates posted about a party at Amber's house. The address isn't specified.
"I think I got something." she said.
"What?" Billy asked looking over her shoulder at the screen.
"One of her classmates just posted a message about the party at Amber's." Sidney said.
"Does it say where the party is?" Gale asked.
"No." Sidney said. Billy looked away thinking. It suddenly hit him.
"Oh shit!" Billy said standing up going to get the phone book.
"What is it Billy?" Gale asked.
"I have a hunch." Billy said.
"Sid do you remember where we were the first time this happened?" He asked.
"Stu Macher's house." Sidney said.
"What does Stu's house have to do with this?" Gale asked.
"It's where Randy and Stu revealed that they were the killers. Stu through the party at his house." Billy said.
"Oh shit!" Gale exclaimed.
"What are the odds that Amber lives in the Macher's former house?" Sidney asked.
"Throwing a party only this is a party for Wes and David." Billy said.
There's a knock at the door. All three look at the door not expecting anyone. Both Billy and Sidney placed their right hand on their holsters where their guns were. Both stare at Gale as she makes her way to the door and carefully opens it to reveal…Christine. All three sigh in relief. She comes into the room. Gale closes the door.
"Thank god you're still here. I can't find Ben. Can you help me please?" Christine asked worried. All three could see the worried looks on their faces.
"When was the last time you seen him?" Sidney asked.
"Earlier. He ran off when I told him the truth." Christine said.
"Where's Sam and Tara?" Billy asked.
"Oh their ok. They're at a party." Christine said. She noticed the looks Sidney, Gale and Billy gave her. "What?"
"Where's this party?" Gale asked.
"At Amber's why?" Christine asked.
"Christine does Amber live at 276 Turner Lane?" Sidney asked her.
"Yes how did you know?" Christine asked.
"Shit!" Billy cursed getting his jacket. "We need to go there now." He said as all three looked in alarmed.
"Why?" Christine asked.
"Because Tara and Sam are in danger. Come on let's go." Sidney said as all four left the hotel room. Gale and Christine sat in the back. Billy and Sidney sat in the front with Billy driving.
"Ok explain it to me. How are they in danger?" Christine asked.
"Remember the party at Stu's house twenty three years ago?" Billy asked.
"Yes I was there for a couple of hours then left. Why?" Christine said.
"After everyone was gone, Sidney got chased by ghost face after I was stabbed in the stomach. The killers were revealed to be Stu and Randy. That party was a way to get Sidney isolated so they could kill her." Gale said. "Myself, Dewey, Billy and Tatum all got hurt while her father was murdered that night."
"Oh shit!" Christine exclaimed worried. "You think this party is a set up to kill my girls?"
"Yes. If Amber is throwing the party she could very well be one of the killers." Sidney said.
"Oh no." Christine said. "We gotta get there please drive faster Billy.
"I am." Billy said. He pulled his foot on the gas pedal to increase his speed. It had been years since he's been to the Macher residence but he remembered his way there. He hoped they got there before anything happened. And it wasn't too late to save Tara and Sam.

Back at Amber's, Mindy might hear this if the TV wasn't turned up so far. Stab, still playing.
On TV - The scene where RANDY (a 1997 Seth Green) is drunk on the couch, watching Halloween. In the movie, Jamie Lee Curtis sneaks through the house, menaced by Michael Myers...
MOVIE RANDY (ON TV)
"No, Jamie. Watch out. Watch out, Jamie, you know he's around. You know- there he is. I told you."
On TV - Behind Randy, Ghostface emerges. Moving closer...
MOVIE RANDY (ON TV) (CONT'D) "I told you, he's right around the corner. Jamie. Jamie. Jamie. Look behind you."
Mindy, on the couch, chuckles. Loves this fucking scene.
"Look behind you, Randy... Turn around, dude. Turn around..." Mindy says to the character on the screen. Silently behind Mindy, the real GHOSTFACE emerges. "Uncle Randy, come on..."
MOVIE RANDY (ON TV) Look behind you. Turn around.
Behind you. Behind you, Jamie.
Ghostface approaches Mindy on the couch...
"Behind you, Randy. Turn around, man. You can do it. They're your rules, dude, own that shit. Look behind you." Mindy says.
Ghostface is right behind Mindy now. He raises his knife above her head to drive it down into her skull...
"Look. Behind. You." Mindy said as she starts to realize: she's in that scene right now. Wait-Mindy turns just as Ghostface lunges and buries the knife in her shoulder! Mindy screams as Ghostface rips it out and jumps over the couch towards her!
Sam hears Mindy's blood- curdling scream and runs back into the house.
"Oh God, help me!" Mindy screams doing her best to stay alive. She manages to knock the knife out of the killer's hand. Ghost face begins to punch Mindy in her face assaulting her.
Sam runs into the Living Room...
Mindy, stumbling for the door, bleeding badly, but Ghostface clotheslines her and slams her into a wall!
Mindy claws at his mask, but Ghostface stabs her in the stomach! She shrieks!
Sam enters from the other door, picks a lamp and hurls it at Ghostface's head - SMASH! He whirls, seeing her there! Rather than charge her, he flees through the side door!
Sam runs to Mindy, who's slid down the wall, in shock.
"That's a lot of blood...my blood." Mindy said as she is also bleeding from her face.
"I'm calling the police." Sam said doing her best to stop Mindy's wounds to her face, shoulder and stomach.
"...great idea..." Mindy said as she slumps over. Unconscious? Dead?
"No, no, no, stay awake!" Sam cries out trying to wake Mindy.
A scream from behind her! Sam whirls to see Tara and Amber! Amber
"What did you do to her?" Amber asked.
"I didn't do anything! Where the hell did you go?!" Sam said defending herself. Tara looked on guilty. After Chad's little disappearance, Amber had come to talk to her and the two ended up in Amber's room. Amber started by apologizing to her before the two ended up making out.
"We were smaking out!" Amber said as Sam looked over at Tara shocked. Tara looked away knowing Sam was disappointed in her.
Amber runs to Mindy, trying to wake her up.
"Oh my God, oh my God, she's dying." Amber said.
"What the fuck?!" Richie exclaimed. Richie appears in the near doorway. He drops his beer bottle, it shatters.
"Stay back!" Amber said to Sam.
"Where the fuck were you?" Sam asked her question directed at Richie.
"I went to the basement for beer." Richie responses.
"You went to the basement alone?" Amber asked.
"I asked her to come with me, she said no!" Richie said pointing to Mindy who was still slumped over on conscious.
BAM! The front door slams and they all jump! Turning to see Liv enter at a dead run!
"You guys, we have to- Oh God!" Liv exclaimed seeing Mindy's current state.
"Stay the fuck back!" Amber said.
"Oh Jesus, oh Jesus Christ..." Liv said weeping.
"I was with Tara, but the rest of you were off wandering somewhere- One of you is the fucking killer!" Amber said accusingly.
"Fuck you, Amber!" Liv shouts.
"Why do you have blood on your hands?" Sam asked her.
It's true - Liv has smears of blood on her hands. Tara and Amber back away from her.
"I- I found Chad dead... I slipped in it..." Liv said.
"You're fucking lying!" Amber shouted back at her accusingly.
"You're the killer..." Richie said backing away from her.
"No! No! We have to call the police!. Where's Mike? He's missing to." Liv exclaimed.
"Mike is my brother's room sleeping off the beer he drank." Amber said.
"We need to call the fucking police." Liv said as she pulls her phone out, but her hands are slippery with blood so she drops it.
"Liv." Amber calls to her. Liv snatches it up, trying to dial.
"We have to call them, so they can come here and you'll see-" Liv said trying to dial the number.
"Liv, just stop-" Amber shouts to her.
"Fuck you, Amber, I'm not the fucking killer!" Liv shouts back panicking.
"I know." Amber said and pulls a gun from her pocket and shoots Liv through the head! Her brains paint the bookcase! Her body crashes to the ground! As this registers to the three stunned faces, Amber smiles. "Welcome to the final act." She swings the gun around towards Sam...
Sam, Tara, Richie all stare shocked. Amber is revealed to be a ghost face killer.
