Summary
- Gooding describes Scream 7’s Ghostface as brutal with gruesome effects, hinting at gorier kills.
- Previous actors have noted Ghostface’s increasing violence, raising expectations for the upcoming sequel.
- Anticipation is high for Scream 7 to deliver creative and shocking kills to revitalize the slasher franchise.
In my case, what draws me to slasher films is not just the gruesome kill scenes that some horror enthusiasts treasure, but rather the engaging characters and familiar slasher movie motifs that keep me engaged with this horror subgenre. I admire franchises like Scream for their ability to cleverly manipulate tropes while also creating believable, realistic characters such as Sidney Prescott, portrayed by Neve Campbell.
Stripping away Ghostface’s terrifying costume reveals that these movies are primarily dramas revolving around a young woman’s sorrow over her mother’s demise. However, what makes Scream unique is its blend of emotional and character-focused scenes with gory ones. I’ve been eager for Scream 7 since the announcement, and now that Mason Gooding, who portrays Chad Meeks-Martin, has discussed the intense violence of Ghostface in the upcoming film, my anticipation has grown even stronger.
Mason Gooding Called Scream 7’s Ghostface “Brutal”

In an interview with Variety, Mason Gooding talked about Ghostface and said:
In my opinion, Ghostface’s portrayal in this installment is more ruthless than ever before. Without giving too much away, there are certain scenes involving the human body that leave me feeling as if Kevin is pushing the boundaries of horror storytelling to a whole new level.
Gooding praised the Scream 7 practical effects team and continued:
A prop in the dressing room made me feel queasy; you’ll understand once you lay eyes on it, but it’s truly astonishing material. Their special effects crew is exceptionally talented, and they seem to be putting in a lot of extra effort.
It seems reasonable to anticipate that Scream 7 could break new ground by being the most gruesome installment in the horror series, given Gooding’s hints about an especially grotesque scene. This suggests that the movie might delve into the genre of body horror, which would be a first for this slasher franchise. With limited ways to innovate in a slasher movie, I believe fans will appreciate the effort to surpass previous entries with even more intense violence.
Exploring fresh territory, the acclaimed meta horror series is poised for expansion with Scream 7. Whether it incorporates nods to classic body horror films such as The Fly is yet to be determined. Nevertheless, given the franchise’s history of satirizing slasher film archetypes and limited unexplored territory, a comedic exploration of the body horror genre could prove shrewd. However, should Scream 7 opt against this direction, there remains potential for Scream 8 to deliver a humorous spin on the body horror genre, particularly in light of Demi Moore’s successful film The Substance, which might serve as an inspiring model.
I’m just as intrigued by Gooding’s comments, given that one of the most chilling deaths in Scream was Tatum Riley (Rose McGowan) being crushed by a garage door in the original film. It seems that Scream 7 might bring back more inventive deaths like this one, as fans have been yearning for something fresh and surprising after a series of expected Ghostface killings. With Gooding hinting at more creative deaths, I can’t wait to see what the next movie has in store for horror enthusiasts.
Jenna Ortega Said Scream 6’s Ghostface Was The Most Violent Yet

It’s intriguing when Mason Gooding refers to Ghostface as brutal. Notably, this isn’t an isolated comment, as other cast members of the franchise have made similar observations about the legendary horror figure. In fact, Jenna Ortega described Scream 6’s Ghostface as “the most aggressive and violent version” in a 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight.
The character Ghostface becomes increasingly menacing. A peek at the script revealed a growing level of grisly details. It seems that this portrayal of Ghostface might be the most ferocious and violent yet, which I believe will make for an exciting filming experience.
Despite Ghostface employing a shotgun and displaying extreme violence in “Scream 6”, surprisingly few characters met their end in the sixth installment of the slasher series. The upcoming “Scream 7” aims to rectify this by delivering a scarier experience. If the seventh film features some gruesome deaths, as Gooding hinted, it will undoubtedly make the sequel even more memorable.
