Scream 6 Fan Posters Bring Ghostface To New York City

A fan artist has designed three potential Scream 6 posters that evoke its New York City setting. The upcoming sixth entry in the meta slasher franchise (which has not received an official title as of yet) will reteam the folks behind the reboot sequel Scream 2022, with directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and writers James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick all returning. Many members of the surviving cast of previous films will also be returning, including Courteney Cox, Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Mason Gooding, and Jasmine Savoy Brown, joined by newcomers like Dermot Mulroney, Jack Champion, Henry Czerny, and Josh Segarra, as well as the newly returning legacy performer Hayden Panettiere as Kirby Reed, the fan-favorite character from Scream 4.

So far, not many details are known about the plot of Scream 6, though the first scrap of information that has been released is intriguing. It will leave the setting of Woodsboro behind completely, with the survivors of the original film being transplanted to New York City in a move that will surely cause resident horror fan Mindy Meeks-Martin to reference various urban-set horror films like Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Candyman, and Poltergeist III. This wouldn't be the first time that Scream has taken place outside of its town of origin, as Scream 2 took place on a college campus in Ohio and Scream 3 was centered around the making of a Stab movie in Hollywood.

On Twitter, fan artist Creepy Duck Design shared several concepts for Scream 6 posters combining Ghostface imagery with iconic New York City landmarks. The first imagines Ghostface as the Statue of Liberty, bearing a gleaming knife instead of a torch. That's followed up by a Ghostface mask made of clouds looming behind a knife skyscraper and traffic on a bridge driving into the mask's ghostly mouth. Check out the posters below.

The final design that Creepy Duck Design shared was inspired by a piece they created before the release of the fifth Scream movie, depicting a road winding into the mouth of the Ghostface mask. In an unprecedented move, that design eventually inspired the actual Dolby poster for Scream 2022. The publicity team behind the new Scream films clearly has this artist on their radar, so it wouldn't be surprising if something similar to one of these designs ended up on the official PR campaign for Scream 6.

Scream 6 is currently filming in Canada, so there is a chance that these designs may even work their way into subtle moments in the project itself. The Scream cast and crew are very aware of the online fanbase around their projects, often folding it into the overall meta-narrative of the entire thing. That all remains to be seen, but fans are certain to receive more updates soon.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
