Ice Nine Kills have officially entered the Scream canon — not as fans this time, but as contributors.

“Twisting the Knife,” their original track for Scream 7, arrived today alongside a music video that feels less like a promo and more like a love letter carved into the franchise’s DNA. And yes, Mckenna Grace is right there with them.

Spencer Charnas has never hidden his obsession with Scream. The band’s catalog is practically stitched together with horror references, and Ghostface has hovered around their aesthetic for years. This collaboration doesn’t feel opportunistic — it feels inevitable.

Charnas has said Scream was the first horror film he saw in theaters, and that Kevin Williamson’s pop-culture-literate killer changed the way he experienced the genre. That influence is all over the track. The song nods to Marco Beltrami’s moody atmospheres while still sounding unmistakably INK — theatrical, aggressive, and self-aware.

Mckenna Grace, who stars in Scream 7, brings something different to the mix. Known for her acting first, she leans into a darker vocal register here, channeling the emotional intensity of Sidney’s story. The collaboration bridges two worlds: metalcore spectacle and cinematic slasher legacy.

The video pushes even further into meta territory. Roger L. Jackson returns as the voice of Ghostface, and the narrative continues Ice Nine Kills’ ongoing horror universe — this time colliding directly with Scream. David Arquette appears as himself in the after-movie, proving that even the meta has layers.

“Twisting the Knife” isn’t subtle. It’s theatrical, self-referential, and knowingly excessive — exactly the tonal intersection where Scream has always thrived.

Listen to the track wherever you stream. And if this is the sound of Scream 7, February 27 just got louder.

Like Mother, Like Daughter Featurette

Paramount also unveiled a new Scream 7 featurette titled “Like Mother, Like Daughter,” zeroing in on the emotional core of the film: Sidney and Tatum Evans. The piece frames their bond not just as maternal, but mirrored — two girls shaped by different eras of Ghostface, yet bound by the same legacy of survival. What makes it quietly devastating is the inversion: Sidney once fought to escape her mother’s shadow.

Ghostface, Pocket-Sized Chaos

If you prefer your terror collectible and shelf-ready, CultureFly just expanded the Ghostface vinyl universe in three distinct flavors: Ghostface – Ghostfaces in Different Places Artist Mystery Mini Vinyl Figures, Ghostface – Mystery Mini Vinyl Figures, and the dangerously adorable Ghostface – Huggers.

The Different Places series leans into playful absurdity — Ghostface dropped into unexpected settings, turning the franchise’s most disciplined stalker into a scene-stealing visual gag. The standard Mystery Minis tap into that blind-box thrill collectors secretly love: you don’t choose the killer, the killer chooses you. And the Huggers? Vinyl menace designed to cling to laptops, shelves, or anywhere that could use a little slasher energy.

They’re compact, stylized, and oddly charming — proof that Ghostface remains infinitely remixable without losing the silhouette that made him iconic.
