Woodsboro, CA – The already tense atmosphere in Woodsboro has reached a fever pitch following a dramatic and deeply unsettling revelation during tonight’s screening of *Scream 2*. The film’s climax saw the long-suspected identity of the Ghostface killer finally unveiled: Randy Melei, the seemingly harmless, recently released high school student. The reveal, executed in a chillingly slow-motion sequence, sent shockwaves through the theater and prompted immediate police response.

The scene unfolded as Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers, and Dewey Riley confronted a masked figure wielding a knife. Instead of a sudden attack, the Ghostface killer slowly lowered their hood, revealing Randy Melei. He delivered a lengthy, almost rambling confession, detailing a years-long obsession with the original *Scream* killings and his meticulous planning to recreate the horror. “It wasn’t about the fame,” Melei reportedly stated, his voice strained, “it was about *them*. About making them feel the same fear, the same helplessness I felt when… when they took Mom.”

Immediately following the reveal, a chaotic scene erupted within the theater. Audience members screamed, and several individuals were treated for shock and anxiety. Police, alerted by a concerned theater employee, secured the premises and are currently conducting a thorough investigation. “Honestly, it was like something out of a nightmare,” said local resident Sarah Jenkins, who was watching the film with her family. “I thought it was just a really good movie, and then…it just became *too* real.”

Gale Weathers, visibly shaken but determined to continue reporting, was heard shouting, “This is bigger than anything we’ve ever dealt with in Woodsboro! This isn’t just a copycat; this is a deliberate, calculated act of vengeance.” Dewey Riley, ever the pragmatist, added, “We need to understand *why*. What drove him to do this, and what does it mean for the future of this town?”

The revelation has reignited debate about the nature of trauma and the cyclical nature of violence within Woodsboro. Authorities have confirmed that Randy Melei is currently in custody, and a press conference is scheduled for tomorrow morning. The long-term implications of this event, and its potential impact on the community, remain to be seen.
