Scream 7 has fans speculating over what direction the horror franchise could be heading in, especially since Neve Campbell confirmed she would be reprising her iconic role of Sidney Prescott. Fan theories have become a massive part of the franchise since the early days. When Radio Silence came on board to direct Scream (2022) and Scream 6, it was clear that some of these theories were, at the very least, being heard by the creative team. There is one particular fan theory that has stood the test of time, and it relates to the possibility that Stu Macher, the secondary antagonist of the first movie, is alive.
