Filming for Scream 5 wraps today, with the cast bonding like the original crew. Dedicated to Wes Craven, this film overcame pandemic challenges.
Today marks the end of the beginning for Scream 5! After weeks of quiet, low-profile, and harmonious production, Scream 5 officially wraps filming today.
Unlike the chaos that often surrounds major horror productions, this shoot has been smooth and focused, with the cast forming a strong bond—one that echoes the original Santa Rosa crew from Scream (1996).
As David Arquette observed during the Scream Reunion, that kind of camaraderie translates onto the screen, and for this movie, it’s been no different.

A Dedication to Wes Craven
