The California night air hung heavy over Woodsboro as Sidney Prescott prepared to face the ghosts of her past. Red and blue lights pulsed against the guest room curtains, casting long, jittery shadows across the bed where she sat with her child. The atmosphere was thick with unspoken dread, a stark contrast to the supposed safety of her friend Dewey’s home. As a faint phone ring pierced the silence, Sidney’s face drained of color, the camera lingering on her wide, terrified eyes as the nightmare began anew.
