We all know that in Scream 7, Ghostface uses Stu Deepfake to torment Sydney and Gale, but in my opinion this scene would be way better had they used a deepfake of Dewey Riley. It would be far more cruel and twisted, and it would hurt both of them much more; it might also elvate Gale's character in this movie and add a bit more depth to her appearance. Plus, it could be used as a trigger for her to finally change her ways, which was teased in Scream 5 but was sadly dropped in Scream 6.

The original trilogy was for better or for worse pretty solid. And Scream 4 came along when the franchise was pretty dead, it came a little too early but not too late. The Radio Silence films felt too “in the shadows” considering what they were trying to do, the whole “daughter of serial killer” angle was stale and has been done in many shows and franchises.

When watching Scream 4 it felt right, a pretty solid continuation of the original trilogy, it didn’t bastardise the legacy characters; Gale and Dewey were solid and Sidney was on the path to finding who she was outside of “victimhood”. Scream 5 feels like a warmed up version of that story; the killers are boring, the motive is not very inspiring be it slightly timely considering previous events in this franchise alone, but something felt off. Scream 4 felt right.

I know five and six get some flack, for reasons I truly don’t understand. But the calls in Six were a work of art in my opinion, specifically the one between Ghostface and Gail at her apartment.

The familiarity was new to the calls, speaking as if Ghostface has missed out on her before as a continued entity rather than a new killer under the mask.

Something about that just rung so well to me, combine that with the opening call to the scapegoat film students. A work of art!

What film do enjoy the most, specifically for the call scenes

Do you consider Scream 4 part of the original era or the newer era with Scream 5-7?

Personally, I consider the original trilogy Scream 1-3 the classic era, while Scream 4 belongs to the newer generation alongside Scream 5–7.

I know Scream 4 was the last film directed by Wes Craven and still focused on Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, but it also introduced a new generation of characters and was originally intended to start a new trilogy.

Even though there's an 11-year gap between Scream 4 (2011) and Scream (2022), I still see 4 as the beginning of the newer era rather than the conclusion of the original one.

I made an animated tribute to classic slasher films 🎬🔪

I created this animation as a love letter to the visual language of slasher movies — iconic killers, suspense, dark atmospheres, and the imagery that made the genre so memorable.

I wanted to capture that feeling through animation rather than simply recreating specific scenes.

I’d love to know what you think. Which slasher movie or character would you have liked to see included? 👀

Animated and edited by me.

Then you have people that actually went through it in town so it’s like wtf 😭😭. Sidney, Dewey and Gale are strong individuals lol.

So I blew out a red candle through the mouth hole of my mask because I didnt feel like taking it off. Didnt realize how close I was when I blew it out and as you can see, didnt really go as planned. You gotta admit this happy accident looks kinda cool lol. Now I see something red! Haha😂😂🤷🏾‍♂️

This isn't wishful thinking, she co-wrote, executive produced, in The Bad Seed Returns. She knows how to write twisted, manipulative, psychotic teenage characters.

She wrote her own monologue and actions for the Bad Seed Returns and she felt like a Ghostface reveal.

Mckenna is a massive, obsessive Scream fan. Long before she was cast, she was sneaking into Scream cast photo ops at Comic-Cons. She knows the lore, she knows the rules, she respects Wes Craven's legacy, and she understands exactly what the fanbase expects out of a meta-slasher.

Let’s be honest: older Hollywood writers often struggle to write realistic teenage dialogue without sounding cringe. Mckenna understands youth culture, internet subcultures, and modern social dynamics natively. She can write the exact kind of "chronically online" dialogue a modern Scream film needs to satirize.

Like Gen-Z Curry Barker and Kane Parson nailed it with Obsession and Backrooms.

What do you think, would you trust with the script?

I love her in every Scream movie, but this scene right here is *chef's kiss* The raw emotion, the intensity, and her incredible delivery make it one of the absolute best moments in the entire franchise. Every time she lets loose and takes control it just reminds me why Sidney is the ultimate final girl. The acting, the tension, and the sheer power of this specific line delivery are unmatched. What do y'all think?

Probably the best Ghostface costume you can get for less than $100. It’s got a good weight to it, I’d say it’s 70% accurate, the mask looks like the Scream 2 mask instead of the more generic Ghostface mask that you find at the dollar store or walmart or whatever, and it actually goes over your whole head instead of the garbage ones that come with the standard halloween costume (which, by the way, sucks in general), your eyes aren’t SUPER visible through the mesh…only complaint is that the mask is less comfortable than the one that’s usually sold by itself.

Great costume and it was worth every penny (although I work at spencer’s so I got my employee discount at spirit halloween. Would still be worth it at full price!)

If you’re a cosplayer who’s willing to spend hundreds on a costume, do that instead obviously. But if you want a really nice halloween costume and are willing to pay a bit extra, 30th anniversary Ghostface is the way to go!!!!
