Okay, horror friends, real talk: Scream (1996) is one of my top-three horror films. I've rewatched it enough times to know every jump scare, every eerie phone ring. So yes, I'm all in for the new Scream 7 trailer, which dropped today.
The trailer reveals the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott - yes, Sidney is back.
The film is set for release on February 27, 2026.
The plot teaser: A new Ghostface killer emerges in Sidney's rebuilt hometown, and her daughter (Isabel May) becomes the target.
Returning legacy cast members: Courteney Cox (Gale), David Arquette (Dewey), and others. Plus new faces being added.
Seeing Campbell back in full form hits. She looks zero years older despite a horror career that's spanned decades. Watching Sidney stand ready again? Chills. This is Scream legacy energy meeting modern stakes: daughter in danger, Ghostface smarter, the stakes higher.
Fans and horror outlets are buzzing. Many view this trailer as a "return to form" for the franchise, while others caution it needs to live up to the original's razor-sharp meta commentary. Legacy villains returning (hello Matthew Lillard and Scott Foley) add to the hype.
Can Scream 7 recapture that 1996 magic? Where first movie's brilliance lay in surprise, script-flipping, and fear of "who's on the phone?" This one must land the meta, deliver fresh scares, and respect its roots, especially because I will never let it replace Scream 1 as perfect.
Sidney in full-fight mode, not just surviving but leading.
Ghostface using the phone-call gimmick with a twist.
Balanced nostalgia: enough legacy to please fans, enough new to surprise them.
If this trailer is any indication, I'll be lining up opening night with popcorn, adrenaline, and my ghost face costume.
