How to fix the Scream franchise, for Scream 8.
- Center the plot around Stu seeing the news broad casting. He also saw what happened in New York and is interested in Sam. Never knowing Billy had a daughter.
- Tara befriends Tatum now we feel a little full circle. Sidney wants to open up to her daughter about everything. Enough is enough it's time to put these ghosts to rest. Also because Sam has also been like she's trying to move past being the murderer's daughter. But a fight breaks out. Sidney sees Billy's eyes in her, and starts to make some comments about how they can't trust her...
- Random ghost face attacks are happening and Sidney and Gale have come to terms that nah Stu isn't alive.
- Tara is killed which makes Sam lose it. Tatum sees it. Everything's specific about these murders though. But I do think Tara has to be gotten early to call back Casey's murder. Big name actress not being the main mc.
- Sam is grappling with becoming a vengeful killer and her humanity. She meets an old man at the park whose face is all wrapped up and is feeding the ducks. They both talk about someone they've lost. A close best friend, family, ect. Sidney tries to call Sam but she doesn't want to hear condolences right now. Something familiar about this old man. The old man before he leaves tells her in a low voice after Sam says something like I feel like I'm going to go crazy and he says "We all go a little mad sometimes." Before walking away.
- Sam has officially lost it, she goes to the last remaining things left of the ghostface murderer. The masks, the items, either burned or semi destroyed. She steals it. Specifically Billy's stuff. Goes to hunt down the copy cats.
- Copy cats were nothing burger characters like in 7, 6, and 5. Just more losers who can't let this shit go.
- Sidney, Gale, and Tatum are now up against like 14 ghostfaces most less competent than others, all in different masks. Devil mask, the pink one, the pumpkin one. All until the end. A ghost face of every era.
- End the movie with Sam being revealed as Ghostface, either killing Stu or wheeling Stu away in a wheel chair after getting badly injured. Depending on how you want to work it.
Gale dies protecting Sidney saying you were right, I did owe your mother, but this time I owed you.
When Stu is revealed as the mastermind he says surprise Sidney looks like you've seen a ghost.
Sidney, Tatum, and Mark get left alone finally.
Sam ends up being like a semi vigilante or Stu's student. (Paralleling/parodying Michael Myers and Corey)
End the franchise. Then have rob zombie reboot it.
