Hopes for Matthew Lillard’s Return to ‘Scream’ Franchise Heightened by new Trailer
Fans are clamoring for the return of Matthew Lillard’s character, Stu Macher, in Scream 7. In the realm of the Scream universe, it is not impossible. The actor himself has always said his character was never confirmed dead, and he had always hoped for a return in the saga.
In the past, writer and director Kevin Williamson originally told fans Stu Macher was definitely dead. However, Lillard reveals that may not be true citing a phone call he received from the creator.
“When he asked me, I was like, ‘I thought you didn’t want me in the film,’” Lillard recalled. “He’s like, ‘I wanted you to shut up because I want you in the film.’”
We saw the return of Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) in Scream (2022) and Scream 6 (2023). While Billy did not return in the flesh, fans loved seeing Ulrich reprise the role.
However, unlike Billy, fans think Stu is very much alive. The final blow that supposedly killed him was when scream queen Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) dropped a television on his head and electrocuted him.
Unlike modern day flat screen televisions, the old school CRT probably weighed around 50lbs. The impact and resulting electrocution could have killed him, but it may not have. There was never confirmation of his death.
Afterall, according to beloved horror geek Randy Meeks from the original movie, the killer always comes back for “one last scare.”
Dissecting the Trailer
There are small hints dropped along the way in the Scream 7 trailer that could lead to the reveal of Stu’s long awaited return. For instance, his quote from the original “This is going to be fun!” is at the very end of the trailer released two months ago.
In the most recent trailer, Fallbrook Psychiatric Hospital is previewed. Even before having 50lbs dropped on his brain, we all knew Stu was a few knives short of a set. This would be an ideal place to house the killer if he had survived.
Another detail fans have grabbed onto is regarding the Stab Airbnb. There is a body outline where Billy Loomis died, as well as other victims in the original. However, there is not a body outline in the living room where Stu had supposedly met his demise. No outline, no dead body?
Fan Theories
The leading theory fans hope for is the return of Stu Macher, alive and well. It is anticipated by many we will see his reveal from behind the Ghostface mask delivering his infamous line, which is revisited in the newest trailer; “Surprise, Sidney.”
If Stu is in fact dead, others think the new Ghostface will be an offspring of his. If Stu in fact fathered a child, they would be around the age of Sidney’s 17 year old daughter. This falls into place with the line delivered by Ghostface from the new trailer “I’ve been waiting a long time for this.” Seventeen years to be exact?
Another popular theory is that the new killer might be Sidney’s daughter, Tatum. The ‘blue plaid’ or ‘blue flannel’ conspiracy hit the internet fairly recently. Fans found the wardrobe connection is worn amongst many of the Scream killers.
In the trailer to Scream 7 we see Tatum, Sidney’s daughter, is wearing a blue plaid mini skirt. Coincidence? …or killer? Jill Roberts explained in Scream 4 that growing up in the shadow of her cousin Sidney Prescott was hard. Imagine how difficult it would be for her own daughter! Maybe Tatum isn’t destined to be a victim, but a killer.
Afterall, everyone is a suspect!

Samara Weaving and Kyle Gallner Star in Romantic Crime Thriller ‘Carolina Caroline’ [Trailer]
A new trailer for Carolina Caroline has arrived, giving a first look at the romantic crime thriller led by Samara Weaving and Kyle Gallner. The film is already being described as one of the sexiest crime thrillers of the year, blending passion, danger, and a story that quickly spirals out of control.
The footage teases a volatile relationship between two outsiders who find themselves pulled into a life of crime. There’s a clear Bonnie-and-Clyde influence, but with a more grounded, indie feel. The trailer leans heavily into mood and chemistry, with Weaving and Gallner delivering a connection that feels intense, reckless, and unpredictable.
“Seductive, reckless, and impossible to look away from.” – iHorror.com
While Carolina Caroline isn’t a straight horror film, it carries strong genre appeal thanks to its leads. Weaving has built a loyal following with films like Ready or Not, while Gallner continues to pop up in some of the most interesting genre projects in recent years. Their pairing here gives the film an edge that should resonate with horror fans looking for something darker and character-driven.
The film is directed by Adam Carter Rehmeier, known for Dinner in America, and that same character-first approach appears to shape the tone here. Rather than focusing purely on crime, the story looks to center on the relationship itself and the consequences that come with it.
If you like your crime stories messy, seductive, and a little unhinged, Carolina Caroline looks like one to watch.

“It’s My Era. I’m a Rockstar Now.” The Official ‘The Vampire Lestat’ Trailer Is Here
The Brat Prince has officially stepped into the spotlight!
AMC has released the long-awaited official trailer for The Vampire Lestat, the next chapter in Anne Rice’s ever-expanding Immortal Universe and it is every bit as chaotic, seductive, and electrifying as fans hoped. Set to premiere Sunday, June 7 on AMC and AMC+, the series shifts perspective, handing the narrative reins to Lestat himself as he reclaims his story in spectacular fashion.
And if the trailer makes one thing clear, it’s this: Lestat is back and louder than ever.
Soundtracking it all is Lestat’s own rendition of Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself,” performed by Sam Reid. It immediately sets the tone, with the song choice feeling like a mission statement for the season ahead.
Fans of Interview with the Vampire will recognize the shift from what they’ve known instantly. Where the first two seasons centered heavily on Louis’ grief and memory, The Vampire Lestat promises something even more volatile. This is Lestat forced to confront both his past and present at once — his trauma, his vanity, and his relentless need to be seen all colliding in a story that feels primed to deliver a constant emotional whiplash.
Sam Reid returns in the iconic role, bringing an even sharper edge to Lestat’s ego and vulnerability. He’s joined once again by Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles, and Jennifer Ehle. The series is helmed by showrunner Rolin Jones and executive produced by Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, Christopher Rice, and the late Anne Rice.
Beyond the series itself, AMC is fully committing to Lestat’s musical takeover. The first two singles, “Long Face” and “All Fall Down,” are already available on major streaming platforms, featuring original music and lyrics by composer Daniel Hart and vocals performed by Reid.
If The Vampire Lestat delivers on even half of what this trailer promises, it won’t just be a continuation of the story — it will be a transformation of everything that came before. Bigger, louder, and far more dangerous, this is a version of Lestat who could just as easily become his own downfall as he could his own salvation.
The Vampire Lestat premieres June 7 at 9pm ET/PT on AMC and AMC+.
A full breakdown of the trailer is coming soon here on iHorror because there’s a lot to unpack.

The Evil Dead Burn Trailer Is Here and It Is Everything
The teaser for Evil Dead Burn is attached to Lee Cronin’s The Mummy in theaters right now, which means you have to earn it. Go see The Mummy. You will probably enjoy that too.
Here is what we got. A young girl crawling across an apartment floor desperately trying to stay alive in a room with a Deadite. It is hard to tell, but the whole thing may be one continuous shot of her trying to get away from all of it. It is action packed, and it is gory, and ultraviolent in a way we have never seen in the franchise. For a teaser. That is a thesis statement. That is Sébastien Vaniček telling you exactly what kind of film this is going to be.
Evil Dead Burn opens July 10.
Why Vaniček Was the Right Call
The director is Sébastien Vaniček, who made Infested in 2023. Infested is a French spider horror film set entirely in a crumbling apartment building, and it is one of the better creature features of the last decade. It is relentless.
A single girl crawling across a dirty apartment floor with Deadites closing in is exactly the kind of scene Vaniček was built for. He does not need big spaces or big budgets. He needs a person, a threat, and no way out. That is Evil Dead. That has always been Evil Dead.
He co-wrote the script with Florent Bernard, his Infested collaborator. Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert produce through Ghost House Pictures. Bruce Campbell and Lee Cronin are executive producers. The whole institution showed up for this one.
What the Film Is About
A woman loses her husband in a car accident and goes to stay with her in-laws at their remote house. The in-laws find the Book of the Dead. You already know what happens after that. You have always known.
Souheila Yacoub leads the cast, joined by Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Tandi Wright, and George Pullar. The film shot in New Zealand between July and October 2025 and is the sixth installment in the Evil Dead series.
Evil Dead Rise proved the standalone approach works. It did not need you to have seen anything. Burn looks like it is doing the same thing and doing it in a filthier, more confined space, which is exactly where this franchise lives best. If the teaser is any indication, Vaniček understood the assignment from the first frame.
Evil Dead Wrath follows in 2028, directed by Francis Galluppi. The pipeline is full. I am not complaining.
