Scream 2 (1997) is the second part of the Scream trilogy, which was concluded by Scream 3. As with the other films in the trilogy, Scream 2 combines straight-forward scares with dialogue that satirizes conventions of slasher films, especially (in this case) slasher film sequels
The plot centers around a group of college friends, an ex-cop and a news reporter as they deal with some mysterious killings that take place after the release of the horror movie Stab, which was inspired by the events of the original film. Many of the survivors from the first movie return to reprise their original roles in this film.
Sidney and Randy are in college now. They see on the news that a couple of kids were murdered at the preview of Stab, a movie based on Gale Weathers' book about the Woodsboro murders. They realize that it's starting over again. Dewey's hanging around to make sure Sidney's alright. Randy and Dewey talk to each other and explain to each other that anyone could be the killer, including themselves.
