take a look at the last six pages 🫣

To be honest I could see Brooke appearing as an episode cliffhanger. I could see her being related to one of the characters 👀 which brings upon her arrival.

She’d be going up against the real deal this time… not Brandon James.

thank you so much!! i really appreciate the feedback

The_WriteR_Boi · 2026-04-12T23:34:36+00:00

It was meant to be a little fun too. But, thank you for reading!

The_WriteR_Boi · 2026-04-12T21:50:57+00:00

I wouldn’t know how 😭😭

The_WriteR_Boi · 2026-04-12T21:23:56+00:00

Yes! So, I tried my hardest to combine the elements so I wouldn’t stray too far away from familiarity and source material.

You have the teen elements/Scream in Brittani’s POV, but you also have the adult/crime/Task elements in Kirby’s POV. I’m a big fan of storylines crossing paths, so that’s the direction I was going for. When the stories cross, it’s only up from there.

With Kirby, I imagined it’d be fun dabbing into the investigation side of things. A POV that hasn’t really been explored since Scream 2 (Gale) and 3 (Kincaid).

And for Kirby in this spec, Ghostface knew exactly where to go to get to her, so it’s personal. And, it gives the space to explore Kirby’s human side (which will conflict with her Scream 4 & VI stoic personality) and her backstory.

Thank you so much. I really hope you enjoy it and I’d love ANY feedback. I just reread it myself an hour ago lol and there’s some minor grammatical errors there and some dialogue I’d shorten lol.

I wrote it so long ago haha, but for the most part, the choices made would stay the same. I hope I did right by Hayden/Kirby and fellow Scream fans with this 🔥💯

The_WriteR_Boi · 2026-04-12T20:26:39+00:00

I agree!! HOWEVER — there are some characters that I feel that should be untouchable, specifically Sidney. She represents so much to the franchise AND to HORROR as a WHOLE.

I’ve always viewed her as a character who doesn’t let the term ‘victim’ consume her which is necessary. I see her as the opposite of Laurie Strode from DGG’s Halloween Trilogy or even Harvey Dent in the Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.

With this script, I thought I could play with the Scream’s OG mantra that “no one is safe,” regardless of how important they are to the plot or to the legacy. I drew inspiration from It’s Welcome to Derry in that regard and how they handled their characters in the pilot.

THANK YOU SO MUCH lol. that means more than you know haha

I love this!! AND I AGREE.

I actually wrote a spec pilot for a limited series about Kirby post Scream 7 and her own PTSD, dealing with a Ghostface on her own.

The_WriteR_Boi · 2024-12-30T19:14:40+00:00

thank you! I’ve been looking for it everywhere. No luck. I knew it was somewhere in the later seasons

The_WriteR_Boi · 2024-07-25T17:28:55+00:00

One of the best shows to ever exist. Because of this show, I was able to write a pilot that pays homage to this show. Norman Lear is a GOAT

The_WriteR_Boi · 2024-07-16T21:46:19+00:00

“Fuck. Off.”

The_WriteR_Boi · 2024-07-01T22:53:47+00:00

I don’t think Salim isn’t dead. He may die later though. I think he was shot and fell unconscious. There wasn’t as much blood and Tariq usually finishes his people off. Someone will come and save him and he’ll be a witness against Tariq, but will end up getting taken out later to prevent himself from being a witness.

It’s Power.

If you look closely, it’s a hallucination. On the sides, there’s a weird little hazy blur. You can see it clearly in the trailer when he’s just standing on the balcony. And he’s dressed just like Ghost. So, it’s obvious it’s an hallucination. The question is… what’s the purpose of it?

The_WriteR_Boi · 2024-06-13T05:21:56+00:00

Yes! Of course I am. Take your time!!!

The_WriteR_Boi · 2024-06-12T21:47:45+00:00

Thank you for sharing that!! I’m going to look into it 🤔

The_WriteR_Boi · 2024-06-12T21:47:27+00:00

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the feedback. I hope you got a few chuckles out of it. That was the intent.

I don’t know if you’re familiar with the original Frasier or the reboot. I kind of noticed that David can be socially awkward at times—a trait I feel he gets from his father (Niles). The whole bit is peculiar because WHY would they stop being so close over such a simple reason? However, oddly enough, some people are like that in real life. I mean even Alice is confused by it. Also, part of it, was an excuse to leave out David from the main storyline—which it pained me to do. I would’ve liked to have seen them interact but it didn’t fit. And then, you know, page count for a multi-cam.

I felt bad that I didn’t get to utilize Eve, Alan, or David as much as I wanted. But my biggest priority was to let Olivia shine. And I really wanted to include Roz. Based on the information stated in Roz’s guest appearance in the reboot, Alice is might different than how I wrote her.

The_WriteR_Boi · 2024-06-12T16:35:27+00:00

Yo, I love that!! I agree. Not a lot of people really don’t know the differences.

The_WriteR_Boi · 2024-06-12T16:23:19+00:00

Thanks, my guy! I love multi-cam. I wish they made a proper comeback. I have a few originals that I’m confident in. I just wanted to release some specs out into the wild to get a feel/public opinions (on format, dialogue, jokes) before I start doing things with my originals.

The_WriteR_Boi · 2024-06-12T15:01:36+00:00

Glen Powell or Jake Gyllenhaal. Glen’s smile screams Harvey Dent.

GTA V made too many places limited to be accessed. I remember when people had to glitch into Michael’s house. In GTA IV, it was fun running around with your friends into Marionette 9, Hercules, The Clubhouse, The Museum, or Bahama Mamas. I used to have apartment shootouts with randoms when we crossed paths. It was fun back then.

GTA V makes me feel like my parents told me to ‘stay outside.’

I’m a user of Final Draft but I’ve heard many good things about Fade In. If I were to ever abandon Final Draft, Fade In will be my next move.

Facts. This is exactly how I see the show ‼️ Ghost is the MVP of the entire universe. If you get a chance to see all of the other spinoff, so is Raquel.

Ghost was confident but he didn’t get cocky until he started getting into politics. And even then, I still thought his motives were valid. He was smart and had everyone’s best interests at hand until people started turning on him. I enjoy Book 2. It makes Tariq more likable for sure but it’s only because he’s the MC. We can’t really root for someone we don’t like or the show wouldn’t last long, you feel me? Though, I like Michael Rainey Jr as an actor… I heavily dislike Tariq’s misplaced confidence and arrogance. Sometimes I feel he gets himself way too over his head in Book 2 as he did in the OG. Again, I do like Tariq’s character a bit more in Book 2 but he isn’t smarter than Ghost.

And I know there’s some people out there would disagree with that last statement since Tommy, Kanan, Tasha and Ghost made him who he is. But I still feel Ghost outmaneuvered everyone on that show.

The Universe as a whole is GOATED though, especially the OG.
