This article contains Scream 6 spoilers
It looks like we’ll live to slay another day, as the box office bloodbath of Scream 6 means things are looking rosy for a mythical Scream 7. We’ve come a long way from Drew Barrymore’s bob haircut of the original Scream, and while Wes Craven has sadly passed, we’re in safe hands with new franchise directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.
After the confusingly titled Scream of 2022 made up for the mistakes of the criminally underrated Scream 4, the directorial duo took us to the Big Apple for this year’s outing. Although Scream 7 hasn’t been given the green light from Paramount just yet, did a throwaway line in Scream 6 already spoil its big twist?

This article contains major Scream franchise spoilers
Practise your best Roger Jackson impression because Scream 6 is carving itself a new legacy. Just a year after Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett brought the slasher series swinging back into our lives after an 11-year hiatus, the phone is ringing again. Sadly, we aren’t saying “Hellooooo Sidney,” as Scream 6 is the franchise’s first without Neve Campbell. Don’t worry, we’ll always have Courteney Cox’s Gale. We’ll always have Gale, right?
Little did we know when Wes Craven cast Drew Barrymore for a shocking opening kill back in 1996, Scream would hack its way to the heart of horror and immortalize Ghostface alongside Freddy, Jason, and the rest. It’s New York, new rules, in Scream 6, while we add more unhinged killers to the Ghostface hall of fame.
From vengeful mothers to long-lost siblings, cliché boyfriends to Matthew Lillard,...

Major spoilers for "Scream VI" follow.
At a certain point, all long-running film franchises begin to resemble soap operas. Characters change, they die, some old faces fade away while new faces step up into the spotlight, and so on. A large majority of soap operas typically feature characters that are relatives of each other, as they all struggle to define themselves as individuals while wrestling with their larger family legacy.
Now that the "Scream" franchise of slasher films has officially entered into its second generation of leading characters with "Scream VI," it's not necessarily true that the series is more soap opera-y now than it was before. After all, this is a franchise whose inciting incident, as described in the first "Scream," was infidelity, a plot point that feels more soap opera than slasher movie when taken on its own.
That's no accident, however, as the bulk of original "Scream...

"Scream" fans are still reeling from the events of "Scream (2022)" that saw Dewey Riley (David Arquette) meet a terrible fate at the hands of Amber Freeman (Mikey Madison) and the news that Neve Campbell would not be returning as Sidney Prescott for the first time in the franchise's history. Only Courteney Cox's Gale Weathers remains from the holy trinity, with a new generation poised to take over battling the many iterations of Ghostface. Made up of actors Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jasmine Savoy Brown, and Mason Gooding, "The Core Four" take center stage in "Scream VI" after surviving the last Woodsboro massacre to relocate somewhere with a lot more potential victims -- namely, New York City.
For Gooding, who plays Chad Meeks-Martin in Radio Silence's latest slasher, the actor thought he had reached the end of the line way before he ever set foot on an NYC subway car.

On the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, we will be posting one full movie every day of the week, giving viewers the chance to watch them entirely free of charge. The Free Movie of the Day we have for you today is the slasher Scare Zone – a movie we had previously posted as a Friday Fright Nights feature a while back. Then we ran into some YouTube issues and had to take Scare Zone down for a while… but now it’s back! You can watch it over on the YouTube channel linked above, or you can just watch it in the embed at the top of this article.
Here’s what was written about Scare Zone for Friday Fright Nights:
Every Halloween season, thousands of haunted house attractions of various kinds open up across the United States… and yet we still have very few great horror movies that are set at haunted house attractions.

There's new blood in Woodsboro. Over two decades since the first Scream spawned a franchise and subsequent cult following, a fifth installment is on the way, introducing audiences to a fresh set of leads. And while several legacy cast members are returning, the upcoming relaunch, also titled Scream, will invariably mark a new chapter, as it's the first one not directed by genre legend Wes Craven, who died in 2015. Instead, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who previously directed Ready or Not, have stepped in.
The directors are not alone in their newness. Joining regulars like Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox are nine newcomers who will face off against whoever has slipped on the Ghostface mask this time. What's also notably different from when the franchise began in 1996 is that nearly each new actor now has a childhood or adolescent memory attached to the franchise and a deep reverence for it as a result,...
