‘Scream’ Invites You to Play a Game with Woodsboro Horror Film Club ARG

We’re just one month away from the return of the Scream franchise, with next year’s franchise relaunch/legacy sequel coming exclusively to movie theaters on January 14, 2022. And the newly launched “12 Screams for the Holidays” isn’t the only series of surprises that Ghostface has in store for fans.

This weekend, a postcard came in the mail from the Woodsboro Horror Film Club, and featured a QR code and handle leading to the TikTok account @TooBrAshSarah. It turns out that the account is the start of an inworld ARG (augmented reality game) that will continue a parallel story line.

Follow along to see the story unfold and get more insight. Check out the postcard images below.

The filmmaking team behind the upcoming Scream includes directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett, as well as executive producer Chad Villella, the three members of the filmmaking group Radio Silence (Ready or Not, V/H/S, Southbound).

“Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past.”

Dylan Minnette (Goosebumps), Mason Gooding (Let It Snow), Kyle Gallner (Ghosts of War), Jasmin Savoy Brown (“Love”) and Mikey Madison (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) join an ensemble that also includes Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, David Arquette and Courteney Cox who will return as Dewey Riley and Gale Weathers, as well as new cast members Jack Quaid (“The Boys”), Melissa Barrera (“In The Heights”) and Jenna Ortega (“You”). Marley Shelton is also returning as Scream 4 character Deputy Judy Hicks
