Fed up with the infamy surrounding her name, Sidney Prescott eventually threatened to sue Sunrise over their continued exploitation of her life story. (Plus, people generally stopped trying to kill her during this period, so there were no further stories to adapt or Gale Weathers’ books to license.) So the studio rebooted the Stab franchise entirely, starting a new original trilogy relating a fresh story.

Stab posters visible as part of the Los Angeles pop-up event Scream VI Experience gave us some new insight into the extended franchise in early 2023. We now know that a filmmaker named Max Feinberg helmed the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh entries in the Stab series, all of which were written by the extremely cleverly-named Will Kennison. See what they did there!? They switched the letters of Kevin Williamson’s first and last name!

Otherwise, not much is known about Stab 4 and there’s no footage from the film in any Scream movie. 

No actual storyline has ever been revealed for this movie, but here's what I came up with:

Stab 4: Knife of Doom takes us back before Hollywood, before Windsor College, before Woodsboro, to a small town in New Hampshire where 21-year-old Gale Weathers (Jessica Alba) is reporting for her college newspaper. When her best friend is brutally slain, Gale sets out to find the killer known as Ghost Face, a local urban legend with roots back to the 1800’s, and winds up at a Summer Camp preparing to open for the season. Can Gale solve the case before all of her friends are gruesomely murdered or will she land on the chopping block with them? 

Based on the book by Woodsboro survivor Gale Weathers and featuring a brand-new cast of fresh faces, Stab 4: Knife of Doom gives new life to the franchise... before Ghostface takes it away!
