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.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
