Some of the best horror movies returned to theaters with new sequels, including Wes Craven&#8217;s &#8220;Scream.&#8221; The seventh movie will be in theaters shortly, and is one of the most highly anticipated upcoming horror movies of the year. &#8220;Scream 7&#8221; will be directed by Kevin Williamson, who wrote the first few movies. And he just revealed a major change to the franchise as a whole that I&#8217;m not really loving.
