Upcoming horror sequel Scream 7 continues to take full advantage of technology, as director Kevin Williamson and star Neve Campbell host a TikTok livestream like we've never seen.

On February 10, fans got the chance to watch the first Scream movie for free on TikTok Live via the official Scream account. The livestream saw Scream 7 director Williamson, and stars Campbell and Isabel May watch the movie right alongside fans. The trio reacted to the scares and offered behind-the-scenes commentary from Neve, especially, reminiscing on her time making the 1996 film.

Fans seemed to enjoy the event, with one writing, "This marketing is phenomenal," and another added, "The chemistry between Neve & Isabel during the Scream TikTok live segments is so adorable… Neve talking to her about 1996 behind the scenes is everything. UGH I’m emotional." The best part was that the live chat was active, allowing fans to talk to each other about a franchise they hold so dear.
