Netflix horror fans are in for a cruel twist this April. The clock is ticking, and some spine-chilling fan favorites are vanishing from the platform faster than you can say “Ghostface.”

At the top of the Netflix chopping block lies Scream (2022), a slick, blood-soaked reboot-meets-sequel that carved its way back into the genre with a vengeance but come April 11, it’s saying its final goodbye.

Horror Titles on the Chopping Block

Directed by Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, the minds behind Ready or Not and V/H/S, this modern Scream ushered in a fresh generation of scream queens and suspects, while still tipping the mask to the franchise’s origins.

And with Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega stepping into the blood-splattered shoes of sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter, it bridged the past and present, even as...

Jenna Ortega is revealing the real reason she left Scream 7 amid the fallout from Melissa Barrera’s firing from the franchise.

In a new interview, the Wednesday star opened up about what led to her exit from the film after her co-star Barrera was cut from the movie following her comments on the Israel-Hamas war.

“It had nothing to do with pay or scheduling,” Ortega said in an interview with The Cut. “The Melissa stuff was happening, and it was all kind of falling apart.”

When Ortega stepped down from reprising her role in the Scream franchise, directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin had also exited the project.

“If Scream VII wasn’t going to be with that team of directors and those people I fell in love with, then it didn’t seem like the right move for me in my career at the time,” she added.

Barrera...

Spyglass Media and Paramount Pictures once intended to make a Scream 7 that would have starred Scream (2022) and Scream VI leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega. We heard that Ortega exited the project after asking for a substantial pay raise – and as we saw when Neve Campbell dropped out of Scream VI due to a pay dispute, these pay issues don’t tend to work out. Then Barrera was fired from the project after comments she made about the Israel-Hamas war didn’t go over well with executives at Spyglass. But now Ortega has given an interview where she denied that a pay dispute had anything to do with her exit.

Speaking to The Cut, Ortega said she dropped out of Scream 7 because of the Melissa Barrera situation, and because the directors of Scream (2022) and Scream VI (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) were not coming back. Here’s the...

Jenna Ortega made many headlines after leaving the Scream franchise despite enjoying success. She joined the movie series as Tara Carpenter in 2022’s Scream and became a popular character. However, following Scream VI, she denied her involvement in the seventh film, citing scheduling conflicts.

Now it is reported that Ortega’s exit from Scream 7 was not linked to any payment or scheduling issue. She did not have a good feeling about everything that was going on behind the scenes and decided to drop the project.

Scream 7 became a hot topic of discussion after Melissa Barrera was fired for her social media posts on the Hamas-Israel conflict. But the woes did not end as both Jenna Ortega and the director, Christopher Landon, also abandoned the movie.

Back in 2023, the news broke that Scream star Melissa Barrera would not be returning for the upcoming seventh instalment in the long-running slasher franchise after being fired from her role as Sam Carpenter for sharing what were deemed to be "anti-Semitic" comments on social media.

This followed the announcement that Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the duo known as Radio Silence, would not be back to helm the project after directing the previous two entries.

The studio received a lot of backlash for the Barrera situation, and there was speculation that some of her Scream cast-mates might show their support. Shortly after, we learned that Jenna Ortega, who plays Barrera's on-screen sister Tara, would not be reprising her role - although the trades claimed that her decision had nothing to do with Barrera's departure.

Ortega’s representatives reportedly informed Spyglass prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike that she would not be returning.

Jenna Ortega didn’t leave Scream VII over her busy “shooting schedule.” In a new interview with The Cut, Ortega revealed that she exited the movie because things went awry after her co-star Melissa Barera was fired from the film for publicly supporting Palestine.

“It had nothing to do with pay or scheduling,” Ortega told the outlet. “The Melissa stuff was happening, and it was all kind of falling apart.”

She continued, “If Scream VII wasn’t going to be with that team of directors and those people I fell in love with,...

The long-awaited "Euphoria" season 3 has a lot working against it. There's the untimely passing of beloved cast member Angus Cloud, the years of production delays, and the fact that so many of its remaining actors have become Hollywood superstars with very little scheduling room. You can argue that Sydney Sweeney is now too good for this short-lived HBO drama, although thankfully Sweeney herself is still down to finish the show out.

Arguably the biggest problem with season 3 is the lack of Kat Hernandez (Barbie Ferreira), a character who was important in season 1 only to be bafflingly sidelined in season 2. Season 1 Kat went through a massive transformation, discovering a new look and attitude for herself and even managing to steal the heart of Ethan (Austin Abrams), the only male character on this show who isn't a bad influence. In season 2 the show often forgot Kat even existed, only checking in on...

Not much is known about Scream 7 yet, and perhaps that's a good thing. Scream is a beloved horror comedy franchise built on satire, gore, and surprise slasher reveals at the end. So, part of the fun is having no clue what's happening before the movie starts, but sometimes the biggest teasers come with the cast list. It's no secret that the casting decisions for the Scream franchise have been messy in the past. The first issues arose with the franchise's original star, Neve Campbell, as she dropped out of 2023's Scream VI on less-than-happy terms over a payment dispute she deemed disrespectful.

The story went in a different direction, focusing entirely on Sam and Tara Carpenter, introduced in 2022's Scream. But, then, of course, near the end of November 2023, Scream 7's production company, Spyglass, fired Sam's actor, Melissa Barrera, and subsequently lost Tara's actor, Jenna Ortega, and its director,...

Best known to horror fans for playing iconic proto-final girl Jess Bradford in the late Bob Clark’s slasher classic Black Christmas, Olivia Hussey has passed away at the age of 73.

“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Olivia Hussey Eisley, who went peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones on December 27th,” a statement posted on the actress’ official Instagram page reads this weekend. “Olivia was a remarkable person whose warmth, wisdom, and pure kindness touched the lives of all who knew her.”

The statement continues, “Born on April 17th, 1951 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Olivia lived a life full of passion, love, and dedication to the arts, spirituality, and kindness towards animals.

Olivia leaves behind a loving family— her children, Alex, Max, and India, her husband of 35 years David Glen Eisley, and grandson, Greyson, and a legacy of love that will forever be cherished in our hearts.

A common theme in slasher movies is the “Final Girl”. This is a character who defies the odds and manages to survive the horror movie’s villain. She’s often shown to be pure and virginal, smart, and quiet. She's the one we’re meant to root for and see make good decisions. One of the most famous and beloved Final Girls is Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) from Scream. Sidney has stood out to audiences for not fitting into the typical Final Girl mold but still being just as badass as ever.
