Neve Campbell Reveals Why She Avoids Watching Scary Movies for Scream 7

Senior Reporter Neve Campbell has found solace and screen time by teaming up with veteran actress Courteney Cox for Scream 7, the latest installment in a franchise that has proven to be a lucrative money-maker. This reunion comes after a significant gap since her participation in Scream 6.

In an interview with Extra magazine, Neve opened up about her unconventional approach to horror films. “I struggle to watch scary movies,” she admitted. Yet, she expressed enthusiasm for the film “Sinners,” adding, “It was brilliant.”

Her comments revealed that although she found it challenging to immerse herself in terrifying content, the prospect of working with Courteney Cox seemed to ease her apprehensions. “Actually, I need to be with somebody,” Neve explained.

Neve’s enthusiasm extended beyond just the film itself; she delved into personal experiences collaborating with Cox. “I love that woman,” she gushed. “She is a fantastic talent and has such a good heart.”

The actress highlighted Cox’s professionalism and kindness, stating, “She’s so adept at her craft and genuinely warm-hearted too. It’s always enjoyable working alongside someone like that.” This collaboration appears to have made the production experience smoother for both actresses.

Meanwhile, Variety reported significant business developments regarding Neve’s return to Scream 7. After a hiatus from the franchise following Scream 6, she has secured an impressive deal worth nearly $7 million. The film is set to hit movie theaters on February 27th, 2026.

Neve’s decision to rejoin the franchise not only signifies her continued investment in the project but also underscores her belief that her personal relationship with Courteney Cox could be instrumental in a successful partnership for both parties.
