Reviving Stu Macher: A Fanmade Scream 7 Poster

A fan-made poster for Scream 7 has surfaced online, featuring Stu Macher as Ghostface. Fans have been speculating about Stu's potential return ever since the franchise returned to theaters with Scream (2022) and Scream VI (2023), neither of which featured the character (although Matthew Lillard did make a voice-only cameo in Scream). Created by professional poster designer Creepy Duck Design, the poster hints at Stu's possible comeback in the next installment of the horror movie franchise.

Could Stu Come Back in the Scream Franchise?

The iconic tagline "Surprise, Sidney" is featured on the poster, a nod to the chilling line spoken by Stu in the climactic reveal of the original film. The image of Ghostface punching through the television, which was used to "kill" Stu, adds a haunting touch to the poster and includes a subtle nod to the classic film. The faded image from the original movie serves as a reminder of the impact and lasting legacy of the Scream franchise.

While there hasn't been an official announcement for Scream 7, it's highly probable that the movie will be produced within the next few years, possibly after the conclusion of the 2023 writers strike. Following the success of Scream VI, which grossed the highest in the franchise earlier this year, the likelihood of a sequel is quite high.

Speculation about Stu's return in the Scream franchise has been circulating, with mixed signals from the production team both onscreen and behind the scenes. In Scream VI, Mindy mentions rumors that Stu may not be dead, but later in the film, the same method that killed Stu is used to kill another victim, suggesting its effectiveness. However, with the possibility of a new production team for Scream 7 and their unknown direction, it remains to be seen if Stu will make a comeback.
