Campbell describes stepping on the set of the 2022Screamas, “Emotional, to be honest.
Because I certainly felt Wes’s absence, and at the same time, I clearly felt his presence.
It blew my mind because the set decorators did an incredible job; it’s identical.

It was petty surreal, at the time 24 years later, to walk into that house.
I mean, these movies meant a lot.
The very first experience was so much fun and meant so much to all of us in many ways.

“NEVE CAMPBELL:Yes and no.
So you never know.
I thought it was tight.
I thought it was funny again and scary again.
It was a good process for all of us.
These films are whodunnits.
[Laughs] Which is always a good thing.
Do you keep in contact with Courteney and David in the time betweenScreamfilms?
Are you on a WhatsApp group?No.
But we do check-in.
Yeah, for sure.
And then, of course, chaos happens!
[Laughs]
What was it like working with the new directors?They were delightful.
So excited, like giddy boys.
[Laughs] I guess he was watching Sidney and he was excited to see Sidney.
There’s just no ego, which is lovely.
They’re such a pleasure to work with.
That was a weird experience, I have to say.
So I was very excited.
Do you think they’ll keep on makingScreammovies?I think they’d like to.
I think they would very much like to.
I think that was the intent with this.
So let’s see how it does.
