Weekly Horror News

 

Following the success of Scream (the Scream requel or the 5th film in the franchise), a sixth film has been greenlit. Yes, Scream 6 is happening!

Spoilers ahead…

Scream (5) ended with sisters Sam and Tara surviving an attack by Ghostface. Dewey unfortunately becomes one of Ghostface’s victims. Gale and Sidney have survived as well. 

Courtney Cox has confirmed she will return as Gale Weathers for Scream 6. It remains to be seen if Neve Campbell will reprise her role as Sidney Prescott. Chances are she will, though. What is the scream franchise without Sidney making one appearance at least? 

Based on how Scream ended, perhaps the reins will be passed on to Sam and Tara as they try to rebuild their life following the trauma they faced in Woodsboro. It will be interesting to watch how Sam copes with her life knowing that she is a serial killer’s daughter. 

The sixth film in the franchise is slated to release on March 31, 2023. 

In other news…

Horror Movie, X released on March 18th and has generated positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie holds a 95% rating from critics. Critics are calling it a well-written and a fresh spin on slasher movies. 

(Spoilers ahead)

It now seems that the movie will have a prequel. In fact, it was shot side by side with X and is titled Pearl. Mia Goth will be playing the role of Pearl. 

The movie doesn’t have a release date yet but it will probably release soon considering it is in the post-production stage.
