The killer reveals himself to be Mickey and shoots Derek, killing him.

It stars David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jamie Kennedy, Laurie Metcalf, Jerry OConnell, Elise Neal, Timothy Olyphant, Jada Pinkett and Liev Schreiber.

The film was released on December 12, 1997, less than a year after the first, by Dimension Films, as the second installment in the Scream film series.

It was followed by three sequels, Scream 3 (2000), Scream 4 (2011), and a fifth film, which began filming in September 2020.

Scream 2 takes place one year after the first film and again follows the character of Sidney Prescott (Campbell), and other Woodsboro survivors, at the fictional Windsor College in Ohio, who becomes the target of a copycat killer using the guise of Ghostface.

Combined with the films rushed schedule, the script was rewritten often; pages were sometimes completed on the day of filming.

Despite these issues, Scream 2 earned 172.4 million at the box office, only 683,362 less than Scream, and received positive reviews from critics, with some arguing that it surpassed the original in quality.

Elfmans contribution had been specially written for the film, but Zimmers score for Broken Arrow was controversially used in the film, replacing Beltramis own work.

The films soundtrack achieved moderate sales success, reaching 50 on the Billboard 200.

During the screening, Phil uses the restroom and is killed by Ghostface.

Ghostface proceeds to enter the screening and sits beside Maureen, who thinks it is Phil trying to scare her before finding blood on his jacket.

Ghostface fatally stabs her, which the audience mistakes for a publicity stunt until Maureen falls dead in front of the movie screen.

Two other Woodsboro survivors arrive at the campus: police officer Dewey Riley to offer Sidney protection and reporter Gale Weathers to cover the case.

Gale tries to stage a confrontation between Sidney and Cotton Weary, who is attempting to gain fame from his exoneration for the murder of Sidneys mother, Maureen Prescott.

At a nearby sorority house, Ghostface murders student Cici Cooper.

After all the partygoers leave, Ghostface crashes the party and attacks Sidney, though Derek intervenes.

Later, after realizing that Cicis real name is Casey, Gale theorizes that the new Ghostface targets students having the same names as the Woodsboro murder victims while Randy explains to Dewey the rules of horror movie sequels and theorizes that the killer is likely someone Sidney knows.

Gale, Dewey, and Randy are talking on the campus lawn when Ghostface calls, hinting that he is watching them.

Gale and Dewey decide to search for him while Randy keeps him talking.

As Gale and Dewey are looking around the campus, Ghostface drags Randy into Gales broadcast van and murders him.

As night falls, Dewey and Gale review the tape of Ghostface killing Randy.

Two officers drive Sidney and Hallie to a local police station, but Ghostface murders them.

In the ensuing struggle, Ghostface is knocked unconscious, but soon revives and kills Hallie, prompting Sidney to flee.
