Plot
In the sleepy town of Woodsboro (or Bayboro in the
screenplay), Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) is a teenager with a lot of
problems. Her mother was viciously murdered the year before, her father
is always away on business and her boyfriend, Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich)
only wants one thing. Just as she thinks she is beginning to overcome these
problems a psychopathic killer hits town.
He hunts high school kids and delights in horror
movie trivia. He stalks his prey wearing a Halloween mask and taunts them
on the phone. His first victims are Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) and her
boyfriend, Steve. She initially thinks he genuinely has the wrong number,
until the killer makes a comment aimed directly at her ('blondie!').
His sights then turn to Sidney, who he again
taunts by phone, launching an attack on her which leads to a chase around
her house.
The situation gets worse when overenthusiastic
reporter, Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) begins to overstay her welcome,
following Sidney's gang everywhere, due to the fact that Sidney's best
friend, Tatum Riley's (Rose McGowan) sheriff brother, Dewey Riley (David
Arquette) is drawn in by Miss Weather's alluring charms.
It all comes to an end when the kids decide to
have a party and have an encounter with the masked killer, seeing some
of them making the same mistakes they've seen made in horror movies. It's
climatic final scene won't have you on the edge of your seat, you'll be
under it!
