News Scream 7 Trailer for Scream 7 Doesn’t Even Begin to Explain How All Those Dead Characters Are Coming Back But Ghostface is adding arson to his (his?) list of crimes By Molly Templeton | Published on October 30, 2025 Screenshot: Paramount Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Paramount Pictures The trailer for Scream 7—thankfully not just named Scream Again or something else deeply confusing—has two parts: First, some random people get murdered in a “psycho killer B&B,” and second, poor Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) tries to keep a Ghostface killer away from her daughter Tatum (Isabel May). She’s clearly got a plan for this, though parts of that plan are lacking (the totally stabbable secret hallway, for one). But neither of these bits explain how a handful of dead characters are returning in this movie—a list that includes poor dead Dewey Riley (David Arquette) and two guys who are rather less mournable: Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard) and Roman Bridger (Scott Foley). (Only dead men have been confirmed so far.) I have questions. Is Sidney just going to have flashbacks? Watch old home movies of her departed friends? What with the thematically relevant B&B and Sidney’s obvious familiarity with people making annoying (though not generally deadly) calls to her cell, this Scream is clearly just as meta about its own self as the movies were in the ’90s. So how’s it all gonna work? Inquiring minds will get no answers here. But it is always nice to watch Sidney get angry, even if one wishes the poor woman could just catch a break—and to see Gail Weathers (Courteney Cox) again. Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown also return from previous bouts of screaming. Joining the host of dead guys and traumatized women in this film are Anna Camp, Mckenna Grace, Asa Germann, Ethan Embry, and Joel McHale (the latter playing Sidney’s presumably doomed husband). Scream 7 is directed by original Scream writer Kevin Williamson. The script is by Gary Busick (Scream redux, Scream 6) and James Vanderbilt (who co-wrote the previous two films with Busick, and is also one of the nine people credited with writing Independence Day: Resurgence). The screaming begins in theaters on February 27th, 2026.[end-mark] The post Trailer for <i>Scream 7</i> Doesn’t Even Begin to Explain How All Those Dead Characters Are Coming Back appeared first on Reactor.
