Talk about a topic that could last forever! Horror fans of course crave great stories, strong characters, potent scares and snappy dialogue – but it’s the vast array of demises that really glue the whole thing together.

The boys over at Scream-Trilogy received some extremely interesting Intel that I’m skeptical is legit. According to an “alleged” Regal Entertainment Group document (pictured here), Dimension Films plans on debuting the teaser trailer for Wes Craven’s Scream IV this coming November.
