no one deserves to be followed or harassed in public. but at the time chappell was coming up, that had to have been somewhere in her mind as a possibility. obviously she wasn't crazy wealthy right out the gate, but she does have some wealth accumulated from her incredibly popular music releases. maybe it's not enough to hire a full security team, but perhaps it would be enough to hire a bodyguard to shield her from paparazzi getting in her face. or even in the case of sabrina carpenter, strategically styling herself differently when she goes out to not be noticed.

i'm open to hearing what others think her motivation behind recording those people were, because i fail to find one.

what i don't see anyone commenting on is how dangerous that could've been. these are strangers, and getting in their space because you're angry with them (no matter how correct you are for feeling anger) is unwise. many celebrities have had their homes broken into (Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian), many have been physically assaulted and stalked to the point they carry medical grade first-aid kits. Björk had a deranged fan attempt to send a bomb to her home. just ten years ago, Christina Grimmie was an up and coming singer who was murdered at a live show.

the movie would open with a classic opening first kill phone call— a huge fan of the stab franchise signed up for a program that calls fan phone numbers to give them stab trivia questions for a chance to win tickets to see stab: the musical on broadway. as the phone call goes on, things start to get uncomfortable with ghostface and be inevitably kills her, we know the drill.

obviously, another ghostface themed killing would be really bad for the upcoming musical’s opening night. until we find out stab super fans are flocking to the musical because the director survived the murders in hollywood back in 2000: Angelina Tyler. She quit the silver screen after Roman died and switched to the stage (which is a nod to Emily Mortimer’s own stage career) and is heading Stab: The Musical. To help with PR with the general population, Angelina invites the most recent survivors of ghostface (sam, tara, mindy, chad) plus the author of the Woodsboro Murders series, Gale Weathers. In Stab fan forums, a popular theory of Angelina Tyler aiding Roman Bridger and then using the musical to protect his legacy.

the main theme of the movie would be to dissect true crime media, primarily adaptations we see from the bane of my existence ryan murphy. we would pose questions of fictionalizing real people and their relationships with the people who take their lives, is it ethical if the affected are involved but don’t get to write their own stories, and how far are we willing to go to cover our tracks so we can be famous?

you can enjoy it all you like and no one is saying you can’t, but it’s not worth getting into arguments with people in a type of conversation you’re not invested in.
