THE SCREAM LEGACY: SCREAM 7 ANTHEMS, PREDICTIONS & SURVIVAL

---

[Verse 1]

The phone rings, a cold plastic weight in my hand

It’s late, the house is silent, I don’t understand

A whisper on the line, a question in the dark:

"Do you like scary movies?"

I feel the rising dread, the chilling spark

[Chorus]

Every shadow is a shape, every creak is a sound

I can’t breathe, I can’t think, I’m frozen on the ground

The walls are closing in, the air is thick with fear

This game of life and death—and I'm the one who's here

[Verse 2]

I hear the floorboards creak, a footstep on the stair

Is he outside already, or in? I can’t tell what is where

My heart’s a drum, beating out of time

A frantic wild tattoo

He’s watching me from somewhere, and I’m the one who’s here

[Bridge]

I try to run, I try to hide, but there's no escape from him

He’s everywhere I look, a ghostly grinning grin

He’s in the closet, under the bed, behind the bedroom door

I’m just a character in his movie, a victim he’s looking for!

[Verse 1]
The bottle's cold, the pills are here, the lights are dim and low
She slides her hand across his chest, the final credits show
No! You break the golden rule, the sacred cinematic law
A moment's sin, a taste of vice, and comes the bloody claw
The needle drops, the beer is poured, the camera loves your face
The minute you give in to lust, the killer sets the pace
So keep your hands to yourself, son, and keep your mind alert
'Cause moral decay's the highway straight to a fresh-dug dirt!
[Chorus]
Hear the scream of the guitar, the rules are carved in stone
Don't you answer the phone, don't you walk out alone
If the house whispers "go away," then you don't stick around
Turn the lights on high or you'll be six feet underground
No sex, no drugs, no alcohol—the trilogy's begun
You've got to live the clean life, baby, 'til the final reel is done!
[Verse 2]
You find a book bound up in skin, a light and dusty tome
It smells of sulfur, screams of doom, it calls you far from home
Don't make bad decisions, stop trying to read the text
You've opened up a portal, now who knows what's coming next?
Your stomach twists, the air is thick, you gotta scream and lies
But you decide to stay and watch the mayhem with your eyes
You hear the rattling chains below, the floorboards start to shake
If something seems wrong in the night, for God's sake, give and take!
[Verse 3]
The killer's here, you hear the boots, the basement's just below
You think I'll make a dash upstairs, a few more steps to go
Fool! That's the trap, the fatal climb, there's no escape that way
The staircase is a dead-end street, you'll be as easy prey
You jump behind the wardrobe door, you hide beneath the bed
The killer knows these movie moves, he sees the fear in your head
Don't hide in obvious spots, don't make his job a breeze
And stay the hell away from Crystal Lake and the main tall trees!
You think you hit him hard enough, you saw him hit the ground
You walk right up to check the pulse without a sound
Don't stoop! He's never really dead, that's the cheap, wicked trick
He'll spring right up and gut you fast, you'll fall down in the thick
Get a shotgun, cut his head, burn the body to
The genre demands a sequel, and it's coming straight for you!
[Chorus]
Hear the scream of the guitar, the rules are carved in stone
Don't you answer the phone, don't you walk out alone
If the house whispers "go away," then you don't stick around
Turn the lights on high or you'll be six feet underground
No sex, no drugs, no alcohol—the trilogy's begun
You've got to live the clean life, baby, 'til the final reel is done!

When does Scream 7 come out?

Scream 7 is officially scheduled for a theatrical release on February 27, 2026. Fans are anticipating a major return to the franchise's roots as the "Core Four" survivors face a new evolution of the Ghostface mask.

Who is the director of Scream 7?

The upcoming installment is directed by Kevin Williamson, the original creator and writer of the 1996 Scream. His return to the director's chair marks a massive "full circle" moment for the series, promising a return to the classic suspense captured in our track "The Call."

What are the "Rules" to survive a slasher movie?

According to the legendary Randy Meeks and our anthem "The Rules," the primary survival tactics include:

1. Never have sex.
2. Never drink or do drugs.
3. Never, under any circumstances, say "I'll be right back." In the modern "Re-quel" era, you must also never trust the love interest and always assume the past is coming back to haunt you.

Which Scream movie has the highest kill count?

Currently, Scream VI (2023) holds the record with 13 on-screen deaths. The move to New York City allowed for a more aggressive, multi-killer approach that resulted in the most relentless body count in the franchise's 30-year history.

Who was the original Ghostface?

The original 1996 Woodsboro murders were committed by a duo: Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. Their "Dual-Killer" reveal was a genre-shattering twist that established the "Whodunnit" foundation of every film that followed.

Is there a soundtrack for Scream 7 fans?

While the official script is under wraps, The Kill Sheet has released two definitive tribute anthems: "The Call" (focusing on opening-scene suspense) and "The Rules" (a technical rock/metal guide to the franchise's tropes).
