The return of Stu Macher?< /h3>

The same question comes up with every movie: who will hide under the mask of Ghostface? Filmmakers and killers. And with new faces like Dermot Mulroney, Jack Champion, Tony Revolori, Devyn Nekoda and Samara Weaving, bets are off.

But a lingering rumor indicates it could be none other than Stu Macher who is the star. perpetrator of these murders, a popular theory that he did not die after committing the murders in the very first film. That said, there may very well be more than one killer in this new storyline, so the mystery wouldn't be entirely solved.
