Scream 7 director Kevin Williamson has teased a little of what to expect from the horror sequel, revealing that OG final girl Neve Campbell pushed for the movie to ditch the gore of its predecessor and go back to the franchise's more suspenseful roots.

In the new book Your Favorite Scary Movie: How the Scream Films Rewrote the Rules of Horror, the filmmaker – who famously penned Wes Craven's 1996 original, as well as Scream 2, Scream 3, and Scream 4 – explained to author Ashley Cullins why it felt like the right time to "reset" the series.
