Stab 2 (1999 Scream-universe film release) was the second entry in the film-within-a-film series, Stab, based on the novel College Terror (1998) by Gale Weathers. The film serves as a loosely based, in-universe retelling of Scream 2 (1997 film).
The film never showed up officialy in the saga. In Scream 3 (2000 film), there is a DVD Bonus recreating the trailer, and some posters of Stab 2 can be seen at John Milton's office and his home. The characters also reference Randy's disappointing death scene, which sparked some backlash with the fans.
Plot
Sidney Prescott (Tori Spelling) is now at college trying to put her horrifying past behind her, but when history repeats itself, Sidney and her Stab friends must survive dozens of twists and turns, that never let you catch your breath. Randy Meeks meets his end in the film.
Meanwhile, Stab movie romance couple, Gale (Lori Thomas; continuity error — supposedly portrayed by Jennifer Jolie in the original trilogy) and Dewey Riley (David Schwimmer; continuity error — portrayed by an unidentified actor in Stab 2 trailer) now having been married since shortly after the end of Stab (1997 film set in 1996), must also try to find the killer before it's too late.
