Prequel

A Prequel is a film set before the previous work in a series. 
==Role in 5CREAM==
5CREAM is modeled after horror prequels, which have become extensively popular in the last few years, despite being met with negative reception. Most are direct to video horror prequels, but some have been the subject of much hype including Prometheus and The Evil Dead. Interquels such as the remakes of Halloween, the original Halloween II and also Freddy Vs. Jason are mentioned. 
This keeps in canon with the layout of the series:
*Scream: Horror films
*Scream 2: Horror sequels
*Scream 3: Horror trilogies
*Scream 4: Horror remakes/reboots
*Scream 5: Horror prequels/interquels
==The Rules of a Prequel==
#Largely the same rules as a remake, most prominently the killer is always behind you, or above you. 
#Provide something old and something new. 
#Connect the old and the new.
#The body count will be higher than the previous film, but only the new characters will be killed.
#Stay within continuity of the previous films.
