What If They Did A Direct Sequel To The Original?


Imagine they did a story that took place 25 years after the original, and there hasn't been a single Ghostface killing spree until now. Randy also survived the first film, so now there's actually a plausible reason to bring his character back, which is something fans have been clamouring for since he died in part 2.

It's not something I'd prefer, but it's an idea. Halloween did it, maybe Scream could, too.

That would be a very cheap maneuver

Sure they could do this with Scream, but should they? Maybe not, unless... the 5th movie fails. Or not. I mean, if you ask me the Scream series didn’t get as convoluted and bad as the Halloween series did, so Halloween 2018 ignoring all the sequels felt necessary imo.

But while this also isn’t the direction I would like to see them take the Scream franchise (I’m rather excited to see what they’re going to do with this next installment), the idea IS interesting. I would see that movie.

the alternate timeline could work even if it's a very cliche idea.

none of the sequels gave any crap about continuity either.. i guess part 2 sorta did.
idk Scream is OK
