Rose McGowan on ‘Scream 7’ Naming Sidney Prescott’s Daughter Tatum: “It’s Made My Heart Happy”
As revealed in the Scream 7 trailer, Sidney Prescott’s daughter is named Tatum — which is, of course, the name of Sidney’s ill-fated best friend in the first Scream.
Original Tatum actress Rose McGowan spoke to Scream Obsessed about the unexpected tribute.
“Sidney naming her baby Tatum, it’s made my heart happy and I know it’s made many others happy. It feels right and good. Tatum lives,” she winks.
“I think Scream is one of the greatest fandoms in the world. I know I’m biased, but I believe this is true,” McGowan adds.
Neve Campbell returns as Sidney with Isabel May as Tatum Prescott in Scream 7, in theaters February 27 via Paramount.
In the latest installment in the slasher saga, when a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target.
Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.
Alongside Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard, Scott Foley, Mason Gooding, and Jasmin Savoy Brown are set to return.
Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Celeste O’Connor, Sam Rechner, Asa Germann, Anna Camp, Ethan Embry, Mark Consuelos, Michelle Randolph, and Jimmy Tatro round out the cast.
Kevin Williamson, writer of Scream, Scream 2, and Scream 4, directs from a script by Guy Busick (Scream 2022, Scream VI).

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
