if it's nighttime and there's like glass like if i'm inside a house like the lights are on
and it's dark outside and i know i'm expo like exposed sounds really bad but you know what i mean
it's an honor how are you guys i'm good how are you
good thank you congratulations on scream i was a nervous wreck just watching the trailer for this
sorry it's a good thing it's a good time good that's all we want david i imagine you'll never
forget the first time you walked onto the set of scream 25 years ago seen jack and the rest of the
cast join the franchise was there anything that made you think about that first-time experience
shooting the movie oh yeah there's been a lot of things oh yeah definitely i think on on this film
um in some of it they've rebuilt the original house so that in itself was um a big big big
flashback and very emotional in a lot of ways for us our experience was very much like summer camp
we were all in like a doubletree hotel a little hotel together and and um weren't spending much
any time really outside of the cast or outside of shooting because of our hours
so we got really tight and because of covid these guys did the same um so it was really lovely to
see that they had a similar bonding experience on this movie and had as much fun as i think we did
just working with nev and courtney again just really uh did it and then seeing jack and the
and the whole group of these new actors kind of getting along like we did on the original film
was really fun to see but they were much more professional than us we couldn't go anywhere
it was such a small little town that we were in and i just was so excited to work with wes craven
he's i've just always been such a fan and he's such a gentle sweet funny man and i was just in
awe of watching the way he would make things scary without even you know it wasn't even supposed it
wasn't even scary but just like the way did the camera angles and i i i just i loved the whole
process and walking in the set was just exciting it was really it was great and yeah throughout the
whole time i had a lot of thoughts of wes a lot of memories of how impactful he was in my life
hello it's happening three attacks so far do you have a gun i'm sydney prescott of course i have a
gun melissa joining this iconic franchise must be like being welcomed into a family um was there a
real pinch me moment for you on set i mean so many i had so many pinch me moments the first
the first day that we were on set was a pinch me moment then the first day that courtney was on set
was another pinch me moment and her first scene was with me it was a scene where i am basically
in awe of gayle weathers and i just remember feeling like oh i'm not even acting in this scene
at all because like i was in such awe of courtney that i was like oh my god this is just the easiest
scene to start with and then when nev came on a little later and i had a scene with both of them
i was like i was just asking the directors to sneak pictures because i couldn't believe it it
was insane was there a scream group chat you were added to uh yes there still is a scream group chat
uh uh yeah we still have it we still all talk we we all became incredible friends uh i will i will
i do have to give credit to david and courtney and nev who welcomed us all in in the kindest
possible way like this is such a major franchise we were all so excited to do this and then to have
you know they always say like never meet your heroes but like in this case i'm very happy i did
because they were all awesome and just couldn't be you know he taught us how to paint one day
uh you took us on a hike like he just was all these amazing like you know courtney
was inviting us out to dinners and just being like everyone was so welcoming and so kind and
i don't know it was just such a nice environment for a movie that where you know there's a lot
of blood and uh guts and carnage um it was it was really a great experience it sounds like a summer
camp with lots of blood and guts yeah i was trying not to say summer camp because that's like i feel
like all actors say they're like oh it's like summer camp but this one was probably the closest
to summer camp i've ever gotten now i need to know who's the most active on the screen group chat oh
i would say it's uh i think it's a toss-up between uh mason gooding and uh i think jenna ortega and
melissa barrera the three of them i think are the most active but we all we all chime in
horror films really have the power to change your behavior like i'm scared of dolls because
of chucky has a horror film ever made you irrationally afraid of something oh i'm
irrationally afraid of bathroom stalls especially in movie theaters well any bathroom stall really
at this point uh as long as i'm always looking under to see if there are feet that come down
i'm afraid of parking lots in the dark i'm afraid of i i'm afraid that anybody could just become a
wacko i mean i'm just turned into a scary cat scene jaws yeah jazz if you could call them would
you call it a horror movie i would i mean yeah it's a slasher movie where the slasher is a shark
probably the only thing that comes back to me from these movies is if it's nighttime and there's like
glass like if i'm inside a house like the lights are on and it's dark outside and i know i'm expo
like exposed sounds really bad but you know what i mean people can see me but i can't see them that
is scary scream one garage doors i'll make you afraid of those for a while i was scared of like
flying dementor looking like things for a really long time because of a movie called darkness falls
which was funnily enough i didn't even know when i met
jamie the one of the writers of this scream that was the first movie that he wrote and i watched
it when i was young and it was this like it was a tooth fairy but it was this like weird flying
like black cape with no face and it just like flew up and i and in that moment in that time i had a
bedroom with like a mezzanine like i live i my bed was on top so i would look over and just feel
like there was gonna be a thing that like flew up and scared me so i couldn't sleep facing that way
but yeah i'm just scared of like the dark in general well i'm scared of like everything
i'm i know who you are i've been through this a lot i get nervous out and about seeing people
wear the ghost face mask david i imagine you've seen so many people over the years dressed up
as the scream characters what's been one of the most memorable fan encounters you've had
i've wrestled a scream ghost face you know that's probably one of the most memorable now the funny
thing is horror fans are like the sweetest fans you'll ever meet you know they come up they have
some of them have tattoos with a you know mask on them and like they're just like they love
the film so much and and it's just great when that happens because you want to make films that people
really enjoy you must never get bored of just seeing people dressing up as you no i like it i
i still i'd go out as as myself i just put a mustache on an easy costume who
cares the characters in this are so fearless i'm interested to know what's been one of the biggest
fears you've had to overcome as an actor in your careers i think like the voice in my head is my
thing i had to come over like the negative voice just you know you're not good enough for this or
oh i had this i played sherlock holmes once it was miscast but it was a comedic sort of take on it
but i got some bad reviews and then you just have to go out not again for the next month doing this
role and just sort of like keep your chin up even though you feel like you're dying inside that's
one yeah that's uh i'm kind of right with david it's the negative voice it's a very strong
very strong the negative voices yeah yeah well you guys absolutely nailed this and i know everyone's
so excited to see it thank you so much for talking to me huge congrats on the movie thank you so much
i wish i could talk to you guys all day but i'm getting the wrap thank you so much
huge congrats on the movie thank you i love your hair
you
