Given that Among Us is a game where players try to determine which of those among them is secretly a murderer, it’s only appropriate for Ghostface to become a part of it. In commemoration of the fifth movie finally making its way to theaters, Scream cosmetics are soon heading to the popular murder-mystery video game. Celebrating the inclusion are several members of the cast who played the game, most likely getting reminders of their experience in filming the newest Scream story.
It’s really a no-brainer to have some cross-promotion between Among Us and Scream. From the start, Scream has always been about the characters working to uncover the identity of a masked killer taking them all out one by one. That’s also the name of the game in Among Us, as the killer player attempts to fool the others into thinking they’re safe just to take them out. The simple concept struck huge with players making Among Us one of the more popular modern games.

The New Scream Introduces a New Mystery for Horror Fans to Solve
Paramount Pictures
Surviving four massacres all carried out by different killers didn’t mean Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) was out of the woods. The killing begin again in the new Scream, as Ghostface takes aim at a new group of youths in Woodsboro. Their only hope for survival might be to learn some of the rules from the legacy characters, with David Arquette and Courteney Campbell also returning as Dewey and Gale, respectively. But as the final trailer suggests, some of the rules may have changed since the last massacre.
The official synopsis reads: “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. Neve Campbell (“Sidney Prescott”), Courteney Cox (“Gale Weathers”) and David Arquette (“Dewey Riley”) return to their iconic roles in Scream alongside Melissa Barrera, Kyle Gallner, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Marley Shelton, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Sonia Ammar.”
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett directed Scream using a screenplay by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. It is the firts movie in the series not to be directed by horror legend Wes Craven. The goal from the filmmakers had been to honor Craven while simultaneously rebooting the Scream story for a new generation. The early reviews are mostly positive, suggesting that they might accomplish that goal.
You can watch the new Scream movie now as it’s playing in movie theaters. Can you guess who Ghostface is before the big reveal?
