Stab is the fictional film series inside Scream, dramatising the Woodsboro murders for cinema audiences. It was introduced in Scream 2 in 1997, and Stab 3 became central to Scream 3 in 2000, which is set around its Hollywood production. Ghostface lines quoting the in universe sequel became a favourite meta joke among fans, because the characters are debating horror rules while living them. The clip still circulates in edits and reactions whenever a third instalment, remake or unlikely sequel gets mentioned online today.
