Scream: research table, product / access matches and inspection gaps.

VERIFICATION STATUS

Broad coverage.
Open questions.

22 catalogue records; 18 indexed works. Shared branch points, embedded scenes and anthology containers are distinguished.

A research edition, not a completed full-interior audit. A missing date remains an inspection gap until the actual work has been checked.

Inventory / contradiction checks

Reviewed seven released films against current studio inventory; Scream 7 is available in 2026, not an unreleased placeholder. Main film chronology remains one history despite date conflicts.
Reviewed 10 + 12 + 2 + 6 television episodes: each continuing season grouped; the two-part Halloween special separated for its eight-month jump. Resurrection is the announced reboot, not Lakewood season four.
Cross-checked six If I Die titles and original MTV embed IDs; original narrative Killer Party and two soundtrack-video stories included with honest replay / inspection limits.
Checked actual Funko six-page rulebook text. Product copyright is not a story year; app narration is part of the containing game, not a duplicate audio drama.
Developer confirms MK1 Billy; read the full Ghostface ending transcript on its secondary host. The crossover is included as non-canon connected material. Danny Johnson’s separate mask licence is not silently relabelled Scream.
Reviewed reported anniversary / prop contradictions before approval: Windsor 1997–1998, Hollywood 1999–2000, Carpenter stories 2021–2023 remain bounded; films do not become disputed canon because their clocks conflict.
Retail links matched from Miramax / Amazon primary routes, exact Scream 7 Steelbook and Funko product pages. No fan-book Amazon product, unrelated novel or retired mobile APK substituted.
Reviewed the complete pre-build table for missing films / TV special / six shorts / narrative games, duplicate episode counts, continuity, estimates, media labels and access wording before page generation.

Verification still required

Full films / all TV episodes were not frame-audited. Exact original props, anniversary contradictions and Tatum’s age need primary scene verification; no exact disputed calendar day is asserted.
If I Die original MTV videos and complete Killer Party standalone replay could not be verified as currently playable. Inventory and original embeds are recovered, but complete interiors were not inspected.
Full SCRE4M campaign, Funko companion narration / scene-card scripts and original MK1 ending cinematic remain uninspected. Retired / time-limited content availability is qualified.
The narrative music videos are verified official editions / campaign stories, but full playback and all variants / extended cuts were not audited. Their promotional era windows are not canonical film dates.
No official narrative novel / comic / manga / standalone audio edition found in the checked inventory. Older regional print, complete home-video deleted-scene catalogues, attractions and retired web campaign scripts remain bibliography checks rather than invented entries.
Exact Amazon season sets were not recovered; legal Tubi editions are offered. Amazon itself supplies films 4–6 matching digital routes, but their requests returned 503 and current regional offers are not guaranteed.

COVERAGE BOUNDARIES

Checked beyond the main stories

Print / audio

Printed novels, comics, manga and audio dramas

No verified licensed narrative edition recovered

Publisher / franchise inventory checks did not identify an official prose novelization, comic run or standalone audio drama. Gale’s books, Stab films and Noah / Stavo’s graphic novel exist inside the screen stories; do not turn them into real products. Fan novels and the unrelated British Scream! horror comic are excluded. This is a documented search boundary, not a claim no obscure licensed edition can ever surface.

Scream — cross-media franchise inventory Scream — episode and short inventory

Game crossover

Call of Duty — Scream operator / The Haunting

Licence verified; distinct campaign narrative not established

The official limited 2021 bundle adds Ghostface, weapons and themed presentation. No separate authored Scream campaign story was verified. Cosmetic/operator availability is not an additional Woodsboro killing spree. Reassess if an original scripted promotional story or campaign chapter is recovered.

Activision / Blizzard — Scream Ghostface operator bundle

Game / lore

Dead by Daylight — The Ghost Face / Danny Johnson

Different licence and original killer

Danny Johnson’s Roseville history is a Behaviour story using the Fun World mask, not a verified Scream film character. Do not import all of its lore / cosmetics into Sidney’s chronology just because the mask is similar.

Behaviour — The Ghost Face story Official Dead by Daylight Wiki — licence distinction

Home-video narrative variants

Deleted and alternate scenes / extended editions

Included with their containing story; detailed scene audit open

Released alternate scenes belong beside the corresponding film, not at their disc release date or in invented sequel branches. The seventh film’s distributor verifies deleted scenes and its music video. Every earlier retail bonus / alternate take has not been inspected; no exhaustive bonus-interior claim.

Nested stories / parody / cameos

Stab, Gale’s books, Scary Movie and View Askewniverse cameos

Not automatically separate franchise works

Stab footage and recordings remain embedded in the films that present them. Scary Movie is an independent parody; a Jay / Silent Bob cameo does not authorize importing their whole universe as Scream canon. Real narrative retellings may be added beside the original when an official edition is verified.

Scream — cross-media franchise inventory Miramax — Scream 3

Ancillary media

After Dark, documentaries, music-only albums, masks and attractions

Not all merchandise is narrative

After Dark is a discussion show. Scores and songs without a verified original fictional video are not separate story events. No complete licensed attraction script or standalone narrative comic interior recovered in this run; do not certify an uninspected maze / merchandise item as an additional canon incident.

First-film plot identifies the approaching anniversary of Maureen’s murder. Used with later continuity evidence, not as a substitute for a full legal film inspection.

Secondary / contemporaneous film inspectionScream 7 — contemporary AP film review
Contemporary released-film review describes Sidney’s seventeen-year-old daughter and a 2026 setting. Used for an explicitly estimated 2026 placement; no birth-year arithmetic used to erase the daughter-age continuity problem.

Official MTV upload identifies the cross-show murdered-partygoer campaign and participants. A behind-the-scenes record, not the complete narrative short itself.

Official 2021 Scream licence / limited operator event. No distinct authored Scream campaign chapter verified; recorded in boundaries rather than inventing a new film incident.

Official Danny Johnson / Roseville biography. This is not Billy / Stu / a Scream sequel simply because the separately licensed Fun World mask looks familiar.
