‘Scream VI’: How Melissa Barrera Shaped The Terrifying Bodega Scene [Exclusive]

Scream VI ghostface bodega scene

Scream VI brought our newly named core four (Sam, Tara, Mindy, and Chad) to the Big Apple, a maze of concrete and high rises. Basically, endless places for our beloved Ghostface to hide. Taking the beloved franchise to New York City means plenty of iconic NYC locations, like the subway, Central Park, and even bodegas.

One of the film’s most tense moments involves Ghostface with a shotgun stalking Sam and Tara Carpenter in a bodega. If you remember, a single beer can plays a crucial role in the sisters’ survival. But, that can wasn’t in the script. Scream VI directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin of Radio Silence explain how Melissa Barrera, who plays Sam, shaped the entire scene.

 Scream VI arrives on digital on April 25, 2023 and Blu-ray on July 11, 2023.
