My 'Scream VI' theories

"Scream VI" is out in theaters! Here are my killer theories.

1.) History repeats itself.

"There's a darkness inside of me." 

In "Scream" (2022), fans were shocked to find out that Billy Loomis had a daughter, Sam Carpenter, with another Woodsboro High girl named Christina. One of Sam's worries is that she'll turn out just like him and her past literally haunts her. Fans want to be satisfied with the killer(s)' motive, so he/she/they must have some kind of connection to the past. Most likely the killer(s) won't be directly linked to Sidney Prescott (e.g. Roman Bridger, her half-brother and Jill, her cousin) because in an interview with People, Neve Campbell announced that she wouldn't be returning for the sixth film due to a pay dispute. Therefore, the killer(s) must have a relation to Sam, the only one directly linked to Billy. 

It was revealed to fans in "Scream 3" (2000) that Sidney had a half-brother on her mother's side, Roman, who was jealous of Sidney. The producers and directors weren't afraid to have history repeat itself with bringing in a new crew, who were somehow linked to the OG crew, so perhaps Sam has a twin that she doesn't know about who carried on Billy's traits. 

2.) Kirby is the killer.

There is one reason why I theorize this. On the "Scream" Instagram page, they posted this photo with the caption, "Kirby, such a fan favorite, that's why this is going to hurt." Most fans theorized in the comments that this is a hint that she's going to get killed. On the other hand, it could be a hint that she's the killer. I'm uncertain what the motive would be, but let's be real. The majority of the killers' motives were irrational.

3.) Gale is the catalyst for this film.

Gale is the only OG character in this installment who's been with fans since the beginning. She's very driven, but also flawed. She'll do whatever it takes to get a good story. There has to be some reason why a new Ghostface surfaces. 

Screen Rant reported that horror journalist Matt Donato may have spotted an Easter egg at the Scream fan experience event at Santa Monica that Gale doesn't survive. 

"The second photo in the gallery he shared from the official event reveals that Gale wrote a book about the events of 'Scream' 2022 titled, 'Requel: Terror Returns to Woodsboro,'" according to the article.

Perhaps the reason why a bulk of the trailer focuses on Gale's scene is not only because she's an OG character, but rather she's the reason why Ghostface emerges.



These theories may or may not be close, but one thing is for certain: this film will have so many curve balls. What I mean by this is that anything can happen, especially with it taking place in the Big Apple. It's an interesting choice because it's so big and it offers so many unique perspectives for a variety of settings and thrills, such as the scene in the final trailer where Mindy is fleeing from Ghostface as she crawls on a ladder of what appears to be an apartment with a fire escape. They killed Dewey in "Scream" (2022), a fan favorite and character who's been with us since the beginning, so who knows what's next?

Highlighting Indie Bookstores for World Book Day: Always Buying Books

Front row (left to right) Alyse Foley and Bob Wolfe  photo courtesy: Bob Wolfe JOPLIN, Mo. — In Webb City, 10-year-old Bob Wolfe would walk almost every day from his house to the public library. He couldn’t wait to devour the next set of "The Hardy Boys" books and lucky for him, he lived less than a mile away. “I didn't read 'The Hardy Boys,' I became the third brother. I lived them, I loved it,” he said. On the way home, he’d read one book while he carried the rest of the haul stuffed into his shirt. He was so absorbed in the story that he'd sometimes step off a curve, run into a tree or walk two blocks past his house without even realizing. Now, 74, he owns a bookstore of his own called Always Buying Books , in Joplin, the birthplace of Harlem Renaissance writer Langston Hughes.
