In the eleven-year gap between the release of Scream 4 and Scream 5, horror fans had plenty of time to wonder if they would ever see the creepy, brutal, and sometimes goofy Ghostface again. Now that Scream 7 will be released on February 26th, 2026, it seems unimaginable that the franchise could have ended with the fourth film. Scream (2022) is a great addition to the slasher franchise. Besides bringing back legacy characters such as Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), the movie features a new mystery along with the horror movie references fans enjoy.
