Now thatChristopher Landon has leftandMelissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega are gone, fans are wondering whatScream 7is going to look like. Although some horror fans had a bit of trepidation going intoScream (2022), the fifth and sixth films proved that there is life left in this beloved franchise and that there are endless possibilities for new Ghostfaces.
Fans have strong opinions aboutwhatScream 7should be about, from whether they should be new characters to what the setting should be. There are manycompelling Reddit discussionsabout what the horror franchise should do next.
What Should Scream 7 Be About?
Which Characters Should Appear In Scream 7?
Although two of the newer cast members won’t return forScream 7, there are stilltwo possible actors who could come back: Jasmine Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding, who played twins Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin. While as of now they aren’t attached to the project, some fans think that they could play a big role inScream 7.Redditor @Dexter1114wrote:
“It would be fun to use gale, Kirby and Sidney, the core 4 and Danny and combine them with past characters and have the new ghost face targeting all past survivors. That could be the reason they all reconnect instead of being isolated.”
Redditor @juanmaalethinks that instead of adding new cast members,Scream 7should stick to characters who have been part of the franchisefor a while. They wrote, “We have enough survivors at this point, so I want a movie where they are the victims. Between the core four, Gale, Sydney, Kirby, Danny and a few others, you have enough people not to introduce new ones. It would raise the stakes a lot I feel.” SinceScream IV had a large cast, it would have worked well to have fewer characters so everyone could have focused and well-crafted storylines.
Redditor @aprilghost_ytagrees thatScream 7should focus on older characters and added that the new movie couldpoke fun at the last film in a horror franchise. SinceScreamis known for being a smart meta horror movie, this makes sense. The fan wrote:
“a satire of ‘final chapters’ in horror franchises, especially after they did the classic ‘franchise goes to new york’ in the last one.”
The fan continued that Ghostface should:
“kill anyone who was ever involved in ghostface killings as well as their families, just to finally put the killings and the ‘franchise’ to rest.”
Where Should Scream 7 Be Set?
SeveralScreamfans agree thatScream 7should take place someplace new. There are several posts in various Reddit threads about howScream 7should take place inLondon, with a few wondering if the franchise could return to Hollywood likeScream 3. While it was fun to seeGhostface target people in New York City inScream IV, it’s definitely time for a new location.
Scream 7 Should Be Gory
With the news thatGhostface would use a shotgun inScream IV,it was clear that the most recent movie would be more violent than the others.Redditor @Purple_Bowmanposted that:
“Scream 7should be the bloodiest and most unscrupulous movie in the franchise.”
What Should The Opening Scene Of Scream 7 Look Like?
When it comes to thebest opening scenes in horror movies, nothing beats Drew Barrymore’s Casey Becker getting that iconic phone call about scary films from Ghostface. ConsideringScream’s strong history of clever opening scenes, including the cool movie-within-a-movie opener inScream 4,Scream 7should do something bold and different.
Redditor @KAAYALLwrote that “The opening sequence to be entirely a P.O.V shot from ghostface, from the phonecall, stalking and then of course the kill.” This would be unique, fresh, and unsettling.
