Stab Movie Cast Guide: Every Actor In Scream's Meta-Horror
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Scream 2022!
The iconic Scream movies are all about satirizing the clichés of horror movies, and for that, the writers came up with the fictional Stab franchise – and here’s every actor and who they play in those movies. Wes Craven’s career in the horror genre began in 1972 with the exploitation movie The Last House on the Left, but his big break came in 1984 with A Nightmare on Elm Street. Although director Wes Craven's movies also featured other genres, he will be best remembered as one of the masters of horrors, and one of his best contributions to the genre was the Scream franchise. As one of horror's most iconic directors, Wes Craven was given a golden opportunity to satirize his own prior movies in Scream, while further satirizing his satires with the in-universe Stab films.
The first Scream movie was released in 1996 and it introduced the audience to final girl Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), a high school student in the fictional town of Woodsboro, California, who becomes a target of a mysterious killer in a costume known as Ghostface. Thanks to its combination of slasher, black comedy, and mystery, along with its satirization of horror clichés, Scream is credited with revitalizing the horror genre in the 1990s and made way for a franchise with five movies a TV series. Scream 2 added a new element to the franchise in the shape of a fake movie franchise, making the Scream movies even more meta – and, of course, these movies-within-movies counted on the presence of both real and fictional actors.
