Scream 3 is a 2000 American slasher film created by Kevin Williamson, directed by Wes Craven and written by Ehren Kruger, starring Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox Arquette and David Arquette, released on February 4, 2000 as the third installment in the Scream film series. Scream 3 takes place three years after Scream 2 and follows the character of Sidney Prescott who has gone into self-imposed isolation following the events of the previous two films but is drawn to Hollywood after Ghostface returns and begins killing the cast of the film within a film "Stab 3" and leaving images of Sidney's... mother at the crime scenes. The film also follows the characters of Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley as they aid Sidney but also deal with their own romantic subplot. As the previous films, Scream 3 combines the traditional violence of the slasher genre with comedy and "whodunit" mystery while satirizing the cliché of film trilogies.
