The official Scream movie Reddit is hosting a special Predictions Tournament for the upcoming horror sequel focused on Ghostface. The new installment in the slasher franchise sees the small town of Woodsboro once again rocked by a series of murders committed by someone donning the Ghostface mask targeting a group of teenagers with ties to the town's deadly past. Dewey, Sidney and Gale must come back together in an effort to stop the murders and figure the killer's identity before it's too late.
Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette are returning to lead the new Scream alongside fellow legacy stars Roger L. Jackson as the voice of Ghostface and Marley Shelton as Judy Hicks, now Woodsboro Sheriff after serving as deputy sheriff in Scream 4. The cast also features a fresh ensemble of newcomers including Jack Quaid, Melissa Barrera, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega, Dylan Minnette, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Kyle Gallner and Mikey Madison.

The Scream Reddit hosting a Predictions Tournament marks an interesting form of audience engagement for the marketing of the film, namely in the specificity of the questions and answers. The tease of how early in the film Ghostface makes an appearance and phone call doesn't come as too much of a spoiler warning for those familiar with the slasher franchise given every film opens with the latest killer taking out the first victims. The questions of how many kills Ghostface commits in the new Scream and how many people may be under the mask does prove interesting in how high the numbers go, teasing a larger scale than previous installments.
Anticipation is high for the new Scream movie as the film nears its theatrical debut. The first reactions to Scream have been largely positive amongst critics, who have praised its devotion to honoring original director Wes Craven's legacy while also delivering plenty of subversive storytelling and kills. Only time will tell which audience predictions come true when Scream arrives in theaters on January 14.
