“Fans Have a Lot To Look Forward To”: Mason Gooding Teases Kevin Williamson’s “Sadistic” Vision for ‘Scream 7’

Of all the fandoms out there, the Scream fandom might be at the top of the list when it comes to who’s hardest to please. Over six installments, audiences have watched as their favorite characters have been mercilessly tortured and brutally killed at the hands of a masked killer — or killers. And, although death has come to be expected from the franchise that kicked off nearly three decades ago in 1996, there have been a handful of shocking moments that have kept the fandom divided. Reminding viewers that everyone’s head was on the chopping block no matter how far their legacy stretched, Scream (2022) saw the traumatizing killing of David Arquette’s Dewey Riley, which was probably the most jaw-dropping of the franchise. But, Mason Gooding is teasing that the stakes and gore factor will be higher than ever in the upcoming Scream 7.
