Melissa Barrera Says 'SCREAM 6' Is “Going All Out” on Gore!
With Scream 6 inching its way to a March 2023 release in theaters, our friends over at Collider recently chatted with Scream 5’s star Melissa Barrera and talked about what fans could expect for the next installment of the Wes Craven created franchise.
In a previous interview, Barrera mentioned that Scream 6 would be “20 times more mortifying,” because it would take Ghostface to the streets of New York City for the first time. When pressed for more details regarding the gore for the next film, the actress told Collider: “There was a saying on set because (directors) Matt [Bettinelli-Olpin] and Tyler [Gillett] were always asking for more blood and more sweat. They always just wanted more. "More blood spritz" was the saying because they would just always want more. With the last Scream, they were tip-toeing and trying to be very respectful of what the franchise had been, up until that point, and keeping their inner gory dreams at bay. But with this one, they were like, "We're going all out." It's potentially a hundred times gorier.”
Well that just warms our horror loving heart and we’re stoked for what’s to come next for the franchise. As Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy) said, sequels mean "More blood, more gore. Carnage Candy! Your core audience just expects it."
Scream 6 will see the return of our brand-new cast of central characters, including Jenna Ortega as Tara Carpenter, and Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding as Randy’s super-horror-fan niece and nephew Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin. Though it’s been confirmed that Scream queen Neve Campbell won’t be reprising her role as Sidney Prescott, Courtney Cox does return as Gale Weathers, and, due to popular demand, Hayden Panettiere is coming back as Kirby Reed, first introduced in Scream 4. Additional cast members, and new potential killers and/or victims, include Dermot Mulroney, Samara Weaving and Liana Liberato.
