A special new Christmas-themed poster for the upcoming Scream VI has been unveiled. As we already know, the upcoming sixth installment in the long-running slasher franchise will take the action to New York City, a significant change in setting for the series, which has famously been restricted to the fictional town of Woodsboro.
A couple of interesting details revealed themselves upon closer inspection of the poster, which shows Times Square but with every billboard displaying the face of the iconic Ghostface killer. A banner in the bottom left corner of the poster reads “Blackmore University,” a fictional school whose existence was discovered by fans who stumbled onto the film’s set some time ago.
Fans of the franchise would remember that the fifth film ended with the new protagonist Sam Carpenter discovering that she is the illegitimate daughter of Billy Loomis, the original film’s killer. She flees to New York in the new movie to escape the stigma associated with the town of Woodsboro. The franchise was given a much-needed reboot with the fifth Scream, directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of the Radio Silence collective.
You had me at Jenna Ortega. Amazing as Wednesday.
