‘Scream VI’ may have already predicted how the most-anticipated upcoming horror reboot will shock audiences

Over the course of Wes Craven’s ever-popular Scream franchise, the engaging whodunnit entries have notably called out traditional tropes and tiresome clichés which have long plagued the horror genre since its initial birth. Stripped down, the slasher films juxtaposes meta-y humor and genuine terror to craft an intriguing piece of cinema which garners viewers of all ages. In the past, the majority of these films have given credence to the audience when it comes to either the true identity of the masked perpetrator or the fate of its most beloved characters.

Flash forward to now, and Scream VI perfectly tested this theory in a particular scene with the updated franchise’s core characters, which was led by fan-favorite Mindy Meeks-Martin (Jasmin Savoy Brown). During her speech to the rest of the group, Mindy insists that OG icons are brought back in legacy sequels for the sole purpose of being killed off. Mindy proceeded to back up this claim by listing a series of memorable final girls — all the way from Halloween’s Laurie Strode to Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Sally Hardesty.
