Scream 6

The Scream 6 trailer shows Hayden Panettiere and Courtney Cox returning as survivors team up against a new Ghostface killer terrorising NYC.

The true feel of the spooky fervour sets in when Barrera’s character says “I have a secret. When he says, “let’s play a game,” you know you are up for some mind-boggling chases and hunts as the Ghostface is in no mood to end it with fair play. The intriguing trailer builds up an eerie mood as viewers are taken on a terrifying journey.

It might be bad news for Jenna Ortega fans, but things are looking up for Matthew Lillard's long-rumoured Scream comeback.

We love Tara Carpenter, and we’re stoked that she survived the murder spree in Scream 5 – but that little smirk she shoots us at the end of the trailer? On a weekend, you can usually find her drinking copious amounts of tea and playing boardgames with her friends. Too busy with the second season of And the fact that she’s the only person on the poster who’s looking directly at us? It’s that or, y’know, she is due to die horribly and take one of the Ghostface killers down with her. The trailer, though, offers a glimpse into Ghostface’s elaborate city-based lair, which reveals a whopping nine Ghostface costumes – one for each of the franchise’s killers so far. If Lillard isn’t back (and, honestly, this writer would be very sad if that’s the case), perhaps someone related to him might be donning a mask this time around. That’s right; the poster depicts a map of the New York subway system, where every stop is the name of one of Ghostface’s victims. Unfortunately, though, the unthinkable happens: the masked killer breaks all the horror movie rules and follows them to the city, stalking and terrorising the teens with not just the classic blade, but also a pump-action shotgun. He wound up bleeding out in a very big way when his and Billy’s murderous scheming went wrong in the first film. Her specialist topics include comic books, films, TV and feminism. And then he got a TV dropped on his head, for good measure.

Horror fans break down the new Scream 6 trailer and notice a hidden Dario Argento reference that may be a clue to Ghostface's identity.

This plot has echoes in the original 1996 Scream, which follows a new series of slayings on the anniversary of the death of the mother of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), who wrongly accused her mother's lover Cotton Weary (Liev Schreiber) of the murder. While the identity of this new killer will remain a mystery until the release of the film on March 10, several fans have taken to speculating who could be the killer based on a very pointed clue: the character played by Tony Revolori is wearing a shirt that references the 1971 [Dario Argento film Four Flies on Grey Velvet](http://screenrant.com/dario-argento-movies-ranked-best-worst/).

Finally the trailer of Scream 6 is out and it begins with survivors from Scream 2022 (including Melissa Barrera as Sam Carpenter, Jenna Ortega as Tara ...

The sixth instalment also seems to have taken a detour from comical tone and meta references and have opted for a more serious tone. We even get a glimpse of a shrine to the history of Ghostface. Finally the trailer of Scream 6 is out and it begins with survivors from Scream 2022 (including Melissa Barrera as Sam Carpenter, Jenna Ortega as Tara Carpenter, ) leaving Woodsboro behind and starting a fresh chapter in New York.

The latest trailer for Scream 6 provides a glimpse of Samara Weaving on the phone. Does this hint that she'll be Ghostface's first victim in the film?

As such, this would allow Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett to not only include a familiar face from Ready or Not but to pull off a Drew Barrymore and kill her off in the opening scene. As such, it probably would not have made much sense for Samara Weaving to join the cast as a new central character. That Easter Egg raised some questions about Samara Weaving's role in the film, and it would have been perhaps a bit too meta to have Weaving play a central character in a movie where Ready or Not exists in the universe.

After the late Wes Craven directed the first four films in the beloved horror franchise, Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett took the reins for the fifth film. 2022's ...

[NME](https://www.nme.com/news/film/scream-6-interview-directors-jenna-ortega-rawer-aggressive-3383719), Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett reveal that [Scream 6 is going to be quite different](https://screenrant.com/scream-6-ghostface-violent-kills-jenna-ortega-response/) from their previous entry, promising that the film is "relentless" and "more aggressive". As the film's trailers have already demonstrated, Sam, Tara, and the others being surrounded by people on the subway or in a bodega doesn't make things any less scary – it only gives Ghostface more places to hide and more ways to taunt his victims. With Scream 6 taking place in New York City, there will likely be a number of innocent civilians and A higher body count in Scream 6 could also work really well with the film's New York City setting. I think that we had to make Scream 5 in order to feel like we had permission to do this one. Scream 6 is set to see the return of legacy characters like Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and Kirby (Hayden Panettiere), but also more recent additions like Sam (Melissa Barrera), Tara (Jenna Ortega), Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown), and Chad (Mason Gooding).
