Scream 7: This Unique Fan Theory Could Start A New Trilogy

Scream 7: This Unique Fan Theory Could Start A New Trilogy

As a die-hard Scream fan since the early 90s, I’ve watched every twist and turn that Ghostface has thrown at us with bated breath. The latest fan theory about Scream 7 being particularly intriguing, it suggests that Tara Carpenter’s father could be the new Ghostface! That’s right, the Carpenters might just have a serial killer in their family tree.


While unexpected reveals are the best part of a horror movie, it’s also fun to try to guess what’s going to happen. Although every movie in the slasher franchise has some fun twists and turns, fans think they have figured out quite a few things about Scream 7. After all, horror audiences have been watching these movies since the first one came out in 1996, and there are a few common elements in each one. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) may not have appeared in Scream 6, but the film still had a great opening scene, some surprising moments, and a cool reveal near the end.

Due to the scarcity of information on Scream 7, enthusiasts have brainstormed numerous theories on how Sidney Prescott might battle Ghostface. One intriguing fan hypothesis could potentially pave the way for three new Scream films. Although we’ll need a bit more time to see if it materializes, it’s entertaining to speculate about it in the meantime.

Reddit user @Careful-Trifle8963 proposed a fan speculation that Tara Carpenter’s (Jenna Ortega) and Sam Carpenter’s (Melissa Barrera) common stepfather could be the Ghostface killer in Scream 7.

“He returns to the initial character since he was acquainted with Billy, Stuart, and others. However, it’s possible that he wasn’t aware of Christina and Billy before discovering details in Sam’s diaries. Feeling vengeful or enraged, he’s using Sam as a means to retaliate against Christina and Billy (even though he’s deceased, we can still metaphorically ‘punish’ the guilty). This aligns with Scream 3 since he is a step-relative in relation to the original film.”

In Scream 7, we might anticipate a thrilling unmasking of Ghostface. It’s startling to imagine that the parent of Tara and Sam could be responsible for the fresh murders. This twist could pave the way for a new trilogy as this plotline could span over three movies, focusing on this character. To keep continuity, it would be wise to subtly link this character with Tara and Sam, even though they won’t appear in the Scream series anymore. While other characters from Scream 7 can carry their narratives forward, it’s important to find a resolution for Tara and Sam’s storylines somehow.

This fan theory also works because the Ghostface killers in Scream 8 and Scream 9 could be connected to Sam and Tara somehow. While Ghostface has always killed because of Sidney, some fans feel that is getting old and tired and it’s time to switch things up. However, it’s still possible for each new Ghostface killer to be tied to Sidney along with the Carpenter sisters.

Regarding the question of whether ‘Scream 7’ features a substantial number of deaths or not, it’s worth considering that focusing on the theme of family could make the next three films compelling. Given that Sidney now has a husband and children, she may be contemplating her legacy amidst her past traumatic experiences. It would add depth to her character if we also delved into the parents of Tara and Sam, creating an opportunity for a rich exploration of familial ties within the ‘Scream’ franchise.

Many fans find this concept intriguing as it challenges the popular fan speculation that Christina Carpenter is actually Ghostface in Scream 7. On Reddit, user @RobTheFarm shared his thoughts, “I’m not familiar with most of the theories out there, but I feel like they are effectively building up the mother as a potential antagonist for the third act. This could make for an interesting twist on the existing theories.”

There’s speculation among fans about whether Scream 7 and potentially Scream 8 could be shot back-to-back. Although a decision on an eighth film hasn’t been made yet, it looks like the franchise will carry on.
