" What's Scream about ? " - A normal human being .
" The first four films follow Sidney Prescott and her struggle against a succession of murderers who adopt the guise of Ghostface to stalk and kill their victims, the killers often motivated by revenge, jealousy, and seeking notoriety. Sidney receives support from town policeman Dewey Riley, tabloid reporter Gale Weathers, and film-geeks Randy Meeks and Kirby Reed, along with various other
friends, romantic partners, and acquaintances that change as the series progresses. From the fifth film onwards, the focus shifts to Samantha Carpenter and her
sister,
Tara, who are targeted due to their connection to the original killers. Together with their
friends Mindy and
Chad Meeks-
Martin (niece and nephew of Randy Meeks) and some of the original survivors (including Sidney, Gale, Dewey, and Kirby), they must contend with new Ghostface killers. " - A person who has an unhealthy obsession with scream .
