Scream star Melissa Barrera ‘open to comedy’ amid Scary Movie 6 links

As a seasoned movie buff with decades of film-watching under my belt, I must admit that Melissa Barrera has caught my attention not just for her chilling performance in Scream 5 and 6, but also for her resilience and versatility as an actress.


A good number of fans who appreciate horror films are likely familiar with Melissa Barrera, given her role as Sam Carpenter in Scream 5 and 6. Here, she played a pivotal part, ushering in a fresh chapter for the series, portraying the troubled daughter of Billy Loomis.

In November 2023, following his public expression about the Palestine conflict on social media, the actor was no longer a part of the cast for Scream 7 at that time.

Since Jennifer Ortega, the actress portraying Sam’s sibling Tara, won’t be joining the project anymore, the Scream franchise is now centering its attention on the iconic character, Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell, as it prepares for its seventh installment.

Due to the significant and contentious manner in which Barrera left the team, many people are closely watching his future moves in his career to find out what happens next.

As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that you shouldn’t miss Barrera shining in “Your Monster,” an exhilarating blend of horror and romance, masterfully directed by Caroline Lindy (The Affair). It graces the big screen starting this very week!

Some people are eagerly anticipating that her next action might have a playful twist – as there’s growing buzz on social media suggesting she should join Scary Movie 6, a film rumored to satirize the exact Scream series where Barrera appeared.

Instead of merely speculating, we chose to directly inquire whether she would consider venturing into the realm of comedy, as several media platforms have associated her with the Wayans brothers’ project.

Before Scary Movie fans get too excited, though, the actor added that nothing is set in stone yet.

Unfortunately, there aren’t any upcoming comedies at this time,” she mentioned. “However, I do have some heavier projects in development, as I tend to be drawn to themes of struggle and hardship. But I remain flexible and open to new opportunities.

Describing it as an incredibly entertaining experience, she shared: “It might have been the most amusing time I’ve spent on a film set. I was simply laughing throughout the day.

“But it didn’t feel that way. It just felt easy and we flowed. And, you know, everyone was so funny, we just laughed all day. It was really fun.”
