Sam Will Be Ghostface In Scream 7 One thing the Scream franchise has never done is have a final girl as the Ghostface killer. However, Sam's story is different. Sam is Billy's daughter, and throughout Scream 5 and Scream 6, she's battled with her identity and figuring out if she is more like her dad than she thinks.
Scream 7 could bring back Josh Segarra's Danny as Ghostface, repeating the franchise twist of having the boyfriend as the killer. Josh Segarra's Ghostface audition was highly praised by Scream 6's directors, making him a strong choice for the role in Scream 7.
Scream 7 is officially happening, but fans have been stunned by two unexpected exits from the new movie. Both Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who played sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter in Scream (2022) and Scream VI, won't be returning for the new movie.
The shocking reveal at the end of Scream shows that the killers are Tara's best friend Amber and Sam's boyfriend, Richie. They were both motivated to kill to continue the Stab franchise (the horror franchise within Scream replicating the film).

Will Sam be the killer in Scream 7?
Sam Will Be Ghostface In Scream 7 One thing the Scream franchise has never done is have a final girl as the Ghostface killer. However, Sam's story is different.
In the “requel” 2022 “Scream,” two psychopaths on a murderous spree wearing the Ghostface masks were revealed as Sam's boyfriend Richie (Jack Quaid) and his partner Amber (Mikey Madison), crazed fans of the movie-within-the-movie “Stab” series who wanted to be the inspiration for a new reboot.
Unfortunately for Scream franchise fans that may want to see Stu Macher make a comeback, Scream 6 has fairly definitively laid the theories to rest by confirming his death. There is a lingering shot in the film that shows Stu Macher's photo and confirms that he died in 1996.
5 Sam Is The Daughter Of An Original Ghostface In Scream
Scream 5 revealed Sam is Billy's illegitimate daughter, and she regularly has visions of him talking to her throughout Scream 5 and Scream 6. If Billy can kill as many people as he did, his daughter is capable of it too.
Campbell hasn't ultimately said goodbye to Sidney and the Scream movies, so if the studio agrees to pay her fairly, it's likely she would return as a character for Scream 7. New characters might be at the center of the current Scream story, but Campbell will always be the face of the franchise.
Jenna Ortega will no longer be in Scream VII. Several outlets reported that the actress will be stepping away from the Scream franchise due to alleged scheduling conflicts with the second season of Wednesday.
Scream 7 may add in the craziest twist of all by making Scream's final girl Sam Carpenter the Ghostface killer. The Scream franchise has had a lot of shocking Ghostface killers, though Sam would be the most jaw-dropping.
Chad is one of the "Core Four" group members featured in Scream 2022 and, at one point in the film, was considered a suspect as the new Ghostface. However, Chad himself is later attacked by the masked killer, thought to have bled to death until the end of the film, where it's revealed he survived.
At the end of Scream 6, Detective Bailey, Quinn Bailey, and Ethan Landry revealed themselves as killers. Their motive was that Richie was Detective Bailey's son, and Quinn and Ethan were his siblings. They wanted to finish...
Campbell's Scream 6 exit and Dewey's death in the previous film meant only Gale was left, and Sam was the new final girl. Sam is connected to the original Woodboro murders because her father is Scream 1 Ghostface, Billy Loomis.
“Here, Sam is the daughter of Billy Loomis. And I am Mexican. And no one ever questioned that, which goes to show that audiences are capable of expanding their understanding of something in ways that I think often studios don't give them credit for.” Skeet Ulrich played Sam's father, Loomis, in the 1996 Scream movie.
At the end of Scream VI, Sam gives a longing look to the Ghostface mask that seems to be extremely telling. She does eventually drop the tattered mask to the ground, which would suggest that she's ready to leave her checkered past and murderous urges behind — but what if she doesn't intend to do that after all?
After the guests leave, Stu and Billy reveal their plan to Sidney, including how they are going to frame her father, Neil Prescott. Billy and Stu begin to stab each other to make themselves look like the victims of their scapegoat.
Then once he killed Tatum, he took off the Ghostface costume, hid it somewhere, and made his way outside around the house and showed up at the front door to make it look like he just arrived to the party not to mention the menacing double-eyebrow raise he gave Stu to let him know that Tatum was already dead.
The film has now, without a shadow of a doubt, confirmed that Stu is believed to be dead in-universe. That means the only way he could be alive is to have faked his death and be hidden away. Now, Scream certainly has soap opera sensibilities, but come on.
"We digitally removed some of the stabbing," added Vanderbilt. "But the guys always overshoot the violence to be able to, to pull it back or dial it up and add it, which I think is super smart."
Throughout Scream 5 and Scream 6, Sam grapples with her identity, wondering if she too has a dark side and is capable of murder. However, neither film features Sam's mother, Christina Carpenter, who would have been present at Woodsboro High School at the time when the first Scream took place.
Consumed by his grief and convinced Kirby is lying, Detective Bailey shoots the FBI agent. That's all a ruse, as Bailey is the mastermind behind the latest Ghostface attacks. And for the first time in the franchise, there are three killers around. Bailey, Ethan, and Quinn—who is alive after all.
