Stab (series)

The Stab series is a series of films in the Scream franchise.

Stab
The original Stab, based on the novel The Woodsboro Murders by Gale Weathers, recreates the events of the Woodsboro murders that occurred in October 1996. The film follows closely to the true events, with a few changes made based on changes in Gale's novel.

Stab 2
Stab 2, like the original, was based on the real life Windsor College murders. Nothing from this film is ever shown, however it is assumed most of the original cast reprises their roles from the first Stab.

Stab 3: Hollywood Horror
A third film, Stab 3: Hollywood Horror, was produced after the planned third Stab had most of it's cast and crew murdered. The rewritten third film follows yet another true story murder spree, following the Stab 3 murders.

The Sequel Trilogy
After the release of the third film, Sidney Prescott, whom the films are based around, threatened to sue if they continued to use her story. A sequel trilogy not focused on Sidney was produced.

Stab 4: Knife of Doom
Stab 4: Knife of Doom is the first film in the sequel trilogy. Not much is known about the film or it's plot, however the poster seen in Scream 4 indicates it still features Ghostface as the killer.

Stab 5: Clock of Doom
Stab 5: Clock of Doom is the second film in the sequel trilogy. Again not much is known about the film, other than it's inclusion of time travel.

Stab 6: Ghostface Returns
Stab 6: Ghostface Returns is the third and final film in the sequel trilogy. It features Ghostface stalking people through Facebook.

Stab 7
Stab 7 is the seventh film in the Stab series, and seems to retcon some of the previous films, and instead treating them as if they were only films in it's own universe.

Stab 3: Return to Woodsboro
A third Stab film, titled Stab 3: Return to Woodsboro was originally planned, but was cancelled after several members of the cast and crew were killing in a third killing spree.
