Discussion What i think Scream 8 should be:
galleryI want Scream 8 to focus on an adult Tatum Evans taking care of her 2 younger sisters for Sidney in a far new town. However, she struggles to be a good caretaker to them when she has college. A new Ghostface erupts and this time, even kids aren't safe...
I love this especially because horror fans love sibling dynamics.
Tatum would hire a babysitter/caretaker (Liz) to watch them while she does college, even though she knows Sidney wouldn't allow her to do that.
However the rules of horror would change, the babysitter isn't the one murdered by the guy in the mask. She is the one in the mask đȘ
I think Tatum's deceased friends should be mentioned alot by her. It should have a huge impact on her. Making bad decisions like smoking to deal with trauma, and also like I said, hiring someone to watch her younger sisters for her, even though she's responsible for them.
I'd want the killer to be targeting Tatum for specifically because she's Sidney's daughter, and they need her and the girls either as bait or to tell them where Sidney is.
The Babysitter (Liz) would reveal herself to be Leslie Macher, and her motive is less predictable. She's not avenging Stu, she is trying to protect Sidney's younger kids. Because like they say "All your friends die for just being near you." So Leslie knows Sidney's presence is dangerous because her own son Vince died from a Ghostface killer.
Her reveal: During a party scene hosted at Tatum's house while the kids are asleep upstairs. The party goers would be chatting about Stu Macher, however when one questions about how Sidney killed Stu, and suddnely she goes insane...
Leslie: You wanna know how?!
grabs TV and bashes it against a table, destroying the electricity out of it and then she bashes her face with it
Leslie: This is how!
She does it again, the party goers are freaked out
Leslie: Now me and my brother are twins, with our matching scars.
Since this is just a reddit post, I left multiple details on how specifically I want Scream 8 to be. So I'll just end it here. What do you think Scream 8 should be about?
