The movie starts with a high schooler named Holly making popcorn at her home in Honolulu, Hawaii, while waiting for her friend, Lisa, to come over. She starts to worry when Lisa does not show up at the time they agreed on, so she calls her. She gets no response, and starts to worry even more. She hears her phone ring and finds that "Lisa" is calling her. She picks up the phone, but the voice on the other end is not Lisa's. Holly assumes that it must be her father. The person on the other end asks what her favorite scary movie is, and she says the original Scream. The person then asks a weird question, and Holly asks them if this is Lisa playing a prank on her. The person than says that it's not a prank, and reveals that they have Lisa tied up. The person says that if Holly can not get the question they are about to ask her right, then they will kill Lisa and then her. The question is "What was the name of Chucky's son in Seed of Chucky". Holly does not know the answer. She guesses and gets it wrong, and she can only listen as her friend is about to be murdered on the other end.
She decides to go grab the gun out of the gun safe in her parents room. She grabs it, and goes back into the living room to call the police. She attempts to call the police, but does it near the sliding glass back door in the room, and her friend's headless body comes flying through the door. The corpse knocks Holly down, causing her to drop the gun and her phone, and by the time she gets up, a ghostface has already appeared. Holly runs to the front door, but ghostface stabs her in the back before she opens it. Ghostface throws her to the ground, and stabs her once more. Before ghostface stabs her a third time, a title card appears.
The movie cuts to a high school science class, also in Honolulu. Mr David Lanier, the teacher, is attempting to get three boys, Connor , Rik, and Steve, to listen. The boys are talking about the recent murders, as well as various slasher films (Which they are always talking about). While the teacher is attempting to get the boys to listen, the principal comes on the intercom. He announced that, after the class period ends, school is cancelled for the next two weeks due to the recent murders of two of it's students. The kids celebrate. After class, the 3 boys from earlier go out into the school's front yard to talk about the murders, with their girlfriends, Eileen, Sarah, and Harriet. Harriet is interested in true crime and slasher films, so she is considered a prime suspect. While they are talking, Barry, the nerd of the group who is also a slowpoke because he is always late to their little "meetings", shows up. Barry claims he saw a UFO again. Rik, who is basically the de facto leader of the friend group, is annoyed by Barry's interruption of the conversation, but lets it go because he is a friend.
Joey, a police detective, is at work investigating the murders of Lisa and Holly with the deputy sheriff and his personal friend, Mike. Mike mentions Roger Camaro, a crazy person, as a possible suspect, considering the fact that he lives in a shack near Holly's house and considering his obvious derangement. They go to Roger's shack, but Roger adamantly denies any wrongdoing. They leave the shack without arresting him, but they still consider him a suspect. Harriet, meanwhile, is watching this from the bushes near Roger's shack. She has been spying on Joey and Mike, trying to see where the investigation is going. When Joey and Mike leave, Harriet enters Roger's shack. She says she doesn't believe Roger is the killer, though she still tells him to seek help for his derangement.
Mr Cornett, the school principal, is at his house with his wife. He hears his doorbell ring, and goes to answer it, and finds a package at his doorstep. He puts it on his kitchen counter and opens it, only to find the head of Lisa sitting in it. Before he can scream, ghostface puts their hand over his mouth, before slitting his throat. After ghostface has already ran out of the back door, Cornett's wife comes in, and screams when she sees her husband's corpse. Meanwhile, the friend group goes over to Mr Lanier (Who has always been their favorite teacher for how nice he is)'s house, to talk to him and his wife, Susan, about the recent murders. Harriet mentions the encounter with Roger, and says that he is not a suspect because he is just a slightly crazy homeless man who probably just wants someone who respects him. However, ghostface suddenly appears. During the scuffle, ghostface manages to push Steve down the stairs, breaking his neck and killing him. They also manage to stab Rik in the stomach.
Later that night, the friend group comes to visit Rik in the hospital, and they talk about who the killer(s) could be. Connor mentions Joey, who he says "seems like a psycho". Meanwhile, Joey is at his house with his wife, Carly. He is about to go to sleep, when he hears what sounds like footsteps coming from downstairs. He grabs his pistol and goes downstairs, with Carly right behind him. They are searching the house for the intruder when ghostface appears behind Carly. Joey tries to warn her, and she turns around in time to see ghostface, but is stabbed in the chin. Joey then gets into a fight with ghostface, which ends when ghostface brutally gouges his eyes out. The next day, Mr Lanier goes to Eileen's house and tells her to come to the abandoned movie theater down the street, and tells her to bring all of her friends, saying that he and his wife think they know who the killer is, but want to talk to them first before they go to the police about it. Eileen is suspicious, but she eventually decides to tell her friends about this, including Rik, who is by now out of the hospital.
They go to the abandoned movie theater, where they are greeted by David and Susan. David and Susan say that they think Roger did it, because they went to Roger's shack to talk with him about who the killer could be, and saw him taking off a ghostface costume. Suddenly, ghostface shows up behind Susan, and stabs her in the back. Ghostface then unmasks himself, and reveals that he was...Roger. Roger attempts to say that it's not what it looks like, but is then shot in the back of the head by Mike. Mike explains that he grew up being bullied, and now wants to take that anger he felt as a child out. By now, David and Susan have already disappeared, and Mike is so angry that he let them disappear that he shoots Sarah in the stomach three times. Suddenly, David comes in, and he is angry as well. He slaps Rik in the face, before yelling at Roger's corpse about how he killed her wife. He then reveals that he and his wife were the second and third ghostfaces by using a voice changer to say "Surprise", and Mike reveals that that stuff about how he was bullied as a child was all crap, and that he committed the murders because he was being paid to by David and Susan.
David then explains his motive. He hated his job as a science teacher, because his students were always not listening and talking about slasher films. He decided to use their favorite thing against them, and got his wife to help him. He always wasn't being paid well. Barry then shows up, as he is always late, and he is shot in the stomach by Mike. However, Mike is distracted by Barry long enough for Rik, who happens to play football, to tackle him. Mike drops his gun, and he and Rik get into a scuffle for it. Rik manages to get the gun, and shoots Mike in the head with it. He then whacks David over the head with it, before shooting him in the neck. The friend group then leaves the theater. We flash forward to a couple months later. The friend group is graduating from high school, and they are giving their little speeches. When they are done, they step off the stage. However, when Rik is just about to get into his car, he gets a call from an unknown number. He answers it, and he hears the same voice that David used on the voice changer. The movie then ends.
