Here is where you can find the whole dish about STAB! The Movie with in SCREAM 2. This page has a ton of graphics so please be patient and wait for them all to load. Thanks and have a Stab of a time! (sorry--I just had to say it=)
The Book
STAB! is based upon the book The Woodsboro Murders by none other than Gale Weathers! After the
events that took place in her life in Woodsboro-Gale thought she'd write a book about
them to cash in on the trauma she had to endure that night. And oh did she cash in! The
book was on the top seller lists and the rights where even bought so that they could make
a movie about it. And of course Gale was getting a ton of publicity throughout the whole
thing as well. With her new found success-she got out of her little 'cheesy tabloid TV
show' and now as a new show out called Up to
Date.
The Movie
STAB! stars some very hot and up-coming
stars like Tori Spelling from the TV show Beverly Hills 90210, Heather Graham from
Boogie Nights, Luke Wilson from Telling Lies in America and (not shown-just mentioned
in the film) David Schwimmer from the TV show Friends.
With this type cast this movie was sure to be a hit just like the book it was based on. Premiering as the movie begins-there is a full house and the audience is ready to go! This movie also affects Sidney though. The prank calling at her dorm room starts up again opening weekend. Stupid little shits like Cory Gillis get off on calling her and acting like the killer. But Sid has toughened up and was ready for him. Caller I.D. always comes through when you need it!=)
Sneak Peak Preview
As stated above the movie was premiering as SCREAM
2 starts. Its entire opening scene consists of Stab and two main viewers, Maureen Evans and her boyfriend Phil
Stevens. The two movie goers seem to be in their early 20's and they are there cause
Phil received free tickets to attend the special screening. Maureen is reluctant though. She
doesn't like horror movie's because they never have any African Americans in them. They
are all just "Dumb white movies, with some dumb white girls getting cut up!"
which is mainly true since most horror movies mainly consist of white people dying
at the hands of a mean slasher. But she goes in anyways. The studio that made
STAB! sent over Ghostface costumes for
the audience to have at no charge so Phil and Maureen take one. They go in and sit down
amongst many people with just the mask on and many with the whole costume on running
around and faking deaths all over the place. The audience is so ready for the movie to get
started. Everyone yelling and screaming-it looks like a circus! Maureen thinks the whole
thing is utterly stupid-and rolls her eyes at them. Phil thinks its way cool and put on his
mask too.
As the movie starts and the opening credits role the crowd dies down and they all take
their seats. For a while at least-they get into the whole whooping and hollering at the
screen. They say thinks like "No-don't do that!" Or they guys getting off when the girl
takes off her robe to get in the shower. What they get to see before Maureen dies up in
front of them all is Gale's and the studio's version of what happened to Casey Becker.
The Faux Casey Becker Scene
During the opening scene with Maureen and Phil-they show shots of whats happening on
the screen. what they show is so far from the truth of that happened to Casey Becker its
hilarious=) It opens up with the girl walking through the house in her robe getting ready to
get into the shower. There's a nude scene only shown to the audience-Maureen comments
that they really didn't have to show that, but Phil seems to be really happy that they did.
But just as she is about to get in-the phone rings and she goes to answer it putting back on her robe.
She gets to the phone and answers it and the killer starts tormenting her. They go through
several scenes written by Gale of what was thought to happen to Casey-since no one who
was there survived. They throw the chair through the window-Casey runs out side by her
pool and Ghostface jumps out of the window at her-she gets away, falls to the ground and
gets killed. Just at around the same time poor Maureen does.
Tori Spellings Cameo Scene
Tori Spelling played Sidney Prescott in the scene they show during an interview shown on
a TV in a Baskin Robins durring the movie. The scene they show is like the one in the first
SCREAM when after Sid gets attacked in her house and
they arrest Billy and then at school the next day Billy has been released and
Sid runs into him in the hall. It is a very cheesy scene with purposly bad acting as horror movies are all supposed
to have and the audience I was sitting in, including myself laughed our asses off. Luke Wilson as
Billy was just too much. I mean he looked a lot like him-but his demeanor was all off-and thats
what they were going for. This was totally one of the scenes that was put there to make you laugh.
It was completely the way the cheesy 80's horror movies are-with the actors over acting and
doing it badly.
Before they show the scene which Tori stars in-they have Tori discussing her role in STAB! with the woman shown in the picture on
the left. They talk about how she felt playing the role of something that happened to a girl in real life and how
she felt that that all really happened. And Tori was all bs'ing about how it was
such an honor to be able to be in the movie. Which is really ironic
that she is even in it because in the first SCREAM when
Dewey, Tatum and Sid go into town-they are discussing the fact that if what was going on
would be made into a movie-Sid says "With my luck they'd get Tori Spelling" [to play
her]. And they did! Tori had her hair done all poofy as you can see in the picture to the right,
and actualy played the part quite well. A snob actress and all.
