Neve Campbell will reprise her role as Sidney Prescott in Scream 7, opening the door for the possible return of other legacy characters. Quite a few characters from the Scream franchise are still alive, including Sidney's father Neil Prescott. Legacy characters like Kirby Reed could also provide essential aid to Sidney when Ghostface strikes again.

There are quite a few Scream franchise legacy characters who would be perfect to star alongside Sidney in Scream 7. Neve Campbell, who played consummate final girl Sidney Prescott in the first five movies of the slasher franchise, has announced that she will be returning to reprise her role in the new movie. The actor had previously declined to return in the sixth installment, which was released in 2023, after receiving an offer that she said "did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise."

The upcoming Scream 7 faces similar behind-the-scenes issues.

So here is a slight change of pace – I'll be branching out into other areas apart from Doctor Who, including film franchises, TV shows and comedies. How's about kicking off with a scary movie series then? Newbies be warned – there are so many spoilers in this article, that Doctor Who's River Song would explode with smug rage.

By the middle of the 1990s, the horror film had seemingly died for good. Just like Dracula slowly rotting away to a skeleton, the horror genre had slowly ebbed away for the past decade or so. Hammer Horror classics from the 1960s and 1970s had given way to popular horror franchises in the 1980s such as Friday The 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street, but even by the mid-1990s, these had seemingly vanished into the ether. However, acclaimed director Wes Craven along with Kevin Williamson were to breathe new life into the rotting genre.
