“What If Casey Becker Lived?”: Drew Barrymore Reprises Her ‘Scream’ Role for Short Skit [Video]
The great thing about October is that it seems like *everyone* embraces horror, if only for a month, delivering tricks and treats that you’d probably never expect them to otherwise. Take Drew Barrymore, for example, who just reprised the role of Casey Becker from Wes Craven’s Scream for a fun little video that imagines a world where Casey survived the film.
The short video, titled “What if Casey Becker from Scream Lived,” was debuted on “The Drew Barrymore Show” this week, and it sees Casey once again being targeted by Ghostface.
Only this time, she’s not having any of his nonsense…
You can check out the video below, along with another new “Drew Barrymore Show” skit wherein other actors from the Scream movies remember how their characters were killed!

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
