Bella Thorne to Make “Scream” Return
Bella Thorne was the big name attached to MTV’s “Scream.” And much like Drew Barrymore in Wes Craven’s 1996 film of the same name, she was killed off in the opening moments.
But somehow, some way she’ll return – only meaner. My guess, the obvious one, in a flashback. Maybe we’ll find out why Ghostface targeted her in the debut episode of “Scream,” entering its third episode next week.
“You will see more Nina,” Thorne told the San Diego crowd at the Comic-Con panel. “I’ll be back. More mean and less dead.”
“I really wanted to die on screen. It’s so cool,” Thorne continued, “The character, it’s hard because everybody wants to kill you off because you’re not well liked. I felt bad about having to be so mean.”
Thorne’s character was left facedown in a pool (pictured above) when Ghostface made his first ever television kill.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
