The Celebrity Beat…

The biggest problem with these endless horror franchises is that fans want to see their favorite characters return… but a lot of them are DEAD.  But hey, you can do anything in the movies, right?

Scream 7 will now see the return of THREE dead characters, now that David Arquette has signed on.

His character, Deputy Dewey Riley, was killed off in Scream 5 by future Oscar winner Mikey Madison.  There’s no word HOW they’re bringing him back.

But he joins Scott Foley and Matthew Lillard in Scream 7.  Foley’s character, Roman Bridger, was killed by Dewey in “Scream 3”.

And Lillard’s character Stu Macher was one of the killers in the original movie.  He was offed by Neve Campbell…or WAS he?!
