Stab 5: Clock of Doom

Somewhere outside of time, there's an apartment with a portal in the closet, and the people who work there kill Ghost Faces for a living. It is a terrible job. There is no dental.

Randy 84D has worked there for nine years and run 612 missions, and not one of them counted. His actual job is finding the dangerous ones on a screen and then watching somebody else go handle them.

Gale Weathers wrote this place into existence. She's the author, the only one who can still write a different ending. Gale has been missing for five years now, which is why her books on the shelf are quietly going blank, and Danny's cult members are closing in on every Sidney that's left. The whole job fits on an index card: protect Sidney, kill anything in a Ghost Face mask that isn't supposed to exist, find Gale.

Every mask you remember. Every rule you thought kept you safe. A killer who has been doing this longer than any other, a cult that does not stop coming, and one horror obsessive who has watched this exact situation a thousand times and has never once had to survive it. Time's almost up.

Production is currently in progress as we continue raising the funds needed to complete the film. Every donation helps us improve the production, support the cast and crew, build better props, create stronger visuals, and bring the next Stab movie to life.

Production

The story was set up at the end of Stab 4: Knife of Doom (2024). In his Stab 4 commentary Joshua Patrick Dudley says the first night of shooting that film's opening scene also included a little filming for Stab 5. He wouldn't say what it was.

In the commentary, posted January 23, 2025, Dudley said Stab 5: Clock of Doom would go into production shortly and that he was writing the script. He said it would have time travel with a multiverse approach, more portals, a lot of crazy Ghost Faces and a lot of Gale, and that more would be explained then.

On May 14, 2025 StabMovies.com announced that Stab 5 was delayed while they tried to raise money to make it. The post said crowdfunding had failed them several times and asked fans to donate through the site.

On June 6, 2026 the site said the cast had finished their promotional photo shoots in character, and pointed fans to Instagram for images and previews.

On August 5, 2026 production was paused. A number of cast and crew left the film, including Jamie-Lynn Hazzard, who played Gale Weathers in Stab 4: Knife of Doom. Joshua Patrick Dudley said he would rewrite the screenplay and rebuild the production around people who want to make a movie, and the site did not expect the pause to last long. That post has since been taken off the news page, but the same update is still summed up on the Stab Movies page of StabMovies.com, and the homepage still links to it.

The StabMovies.com site relaunched on August 13, 2026. Its homepage lists Stab 5 as filming now and out in 2027, filming through early October, and free when it lands.

The film page says production is still going while they raise the money to finish it. Donations go toward the production, the cast and crew, better props and stronger visuals.

On May 8, 2026 the site announced it finally had retractable Buck 120 replica knives, from Kaltec 3D on Etsy, after fifteen years of searching and asking prop makers. The site has not said whether they appear in Stab 5.

Music by Seth Hise, who also scored Stab 3: Holiday Horror and Stab 4: Knife of Doom.
