Scream 7 Ending, Deaths, Cameos Explained. Will There Be Scream 8?

SPOILER ALERT: This article accommodates spoilers for “Scream 7,” now playing in theaters.

Ghostface is again in theaters, and so is Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott after sitting out “Scream 6.” In “Scream 7,” Sidney is now a mom to a teenage daughter named Tatum (Isabel May), who will get caught up in her personal twisted cat-and-mouse game with the masked killer. Like past “Scream” motion pictures, there’s buckets of blood, stunning kills and one big unmasking at the end of the film — plus a number of cameos from past movies.

The Ghostface killers rack up fairly the bodycount in “Scream 7.” Right off the bat, horror film lovers Scott (Jimmy Tatro) and Madison (Michelle Randolph) are murdered after renting the house that belonged to Matthew Lillard’s Stu Macher in the authentic “Scream.” Over in Pine Grove, Sidney receives an eerie message from Stu, apparently again from the grave. He claims that he survived his demise in “Scream” and is again as Ghostface to get his revenge on Sidney and her household. One of the Ghostfaces then kills Tatum’s classmate Hannah (Mckenna Grace) at her high faculty’s play rehearsal then goes to Sidney’s home.

After a fight with Sidney, her husband Mark (Joel McHale) and Tatum, that Ghostface is run over by reporter Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), who’s joined by her new digicam crew Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Chad Meeks-Martin (Mason Gooding) from the past two “Scream” motion pictures. Ghostface is revealed to be an unknown assassin who escaped from an insane asylum and had been stalking Sidney. After visiting the psychological establishment and speaking to a supervisor, Sidney finds out that Stu had apparently survived his demise.

The real Ghostface begins selecting off his victims one after the other: Tatum’s pal (Celeste O’Connor), Sidney’s neighbor’s son Lucas (Asa Germann) and Tatum’s boyfriend Ben (Sam Rechner) all die. Mark is wounded, however later survives. It’s also revealed that “Stu” is an AI deepfake created by Marco (Ethan Embry), the supervisor at the psychological institute. He makes the AI video remodel into late sheriff Dewey Riley (David Arquette), Nancy Loomis (Laurie Metcalf), who was the Ghostface from “Scream 2,” and Roman Bridger (Scott Foley), the killer from “Scream 3.”

However, the real brains behind the Ghostface killing spree turns out to be Sidney’s neighbor Jessica (Anna Camp). After unmasking, she says she was impressed by Sidney’s autobiography and thought she wanted to homicide her personal husband to achieve the same ranges of success. When that didn’t work, she found the place Sidney lived, met Marco and determined to kidnap Tatum to place her by way of the same Ghostface killings that Sidney survived. But in the end, Sidney and Tatum are in a position to kill Marco and Jessica (who’s shot repeatedly in the head) and escape with their lives.

With Sidney, Tatum and Mark alive, might they star in an eighth film and face off against another Ghostface? Mindy and Chad also survive the finale, and in the mid-credits scene they shoot their very own news broadcast about the killings; maybe they may comply with in Gale’s reporting footsteps. “Scream” creator Kevin Williams has concepts for an eighth film, however up to now nothing has been formally announced.
