Ghostface Brings Death to New York City in New ‘Scream VI’ Trailer

Ghostface is deadlier than ever in the new trailer for Scream VI. The highly-anticipated slasher sequel will take the iconic killer to New York City as they hunt down the latest Woodsboro survivors, played by Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera. Last year, SCREAM showed how to properly do a legacy horror sequel by bringing the late Wes Craven’s slasher franchise back to theaters. More than a decade after Craven’s Scream 4, SCREAM updates the metalinguistic approach of the franchise to discuss the toxicity of horror fandom in the era of “elevated horror.” At the center of the story were sisters Sam (Barrera) and Tara Carpenter (Ortega), who had a personal history with one of the first Ghostface, Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich). Sam and Tara barely survive the attack of the new Ghostface killers, which pushes them to leave Woodsboro behind.

As the new trailer explains, Sam, Tara, and siblings Chad (Mason Gooding) and Mindy Meeks-Martin (Jasmin Savoy Brown) moved away to New York City, hoping to find anonymity amidst the crowds. The group is deeply scarred after their near-deadly encounter with Ghostface, but they seem ready to move on with their lives. Unfortunately for them, the big city is also the perfect place for a new killer – or killers – to hide.
