Surprise, Sidney! A *Scream 7* first look arrived Thursday ahead of Halloween weekend, with a trailer and a fresh batch of images revealing Neve Campbell's buzzed-about return to the slasher franchise as the ultimate Scream Queen.

Paramount Pictures also released story details about how "a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott has built a new life."

The synopsis reads, "Her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all."

The first look also reveals Isabel May (of the *Yellowstone* prequel series *1883*) as Tatum, Sidney's daughter; Joel McHale as Mark, Sidney's cop husband; Courteney Cox's Gale Weathers re-emerging to declare, "Let's unmask this f---er"; and the returns of Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown as Chad and Mindy Meeks-Martin.

The trailer also discloses the roles played by Michelle Randolph and Jimmy Tatro, who appear to be a couple staying at the site of the Woodsboro Massacre, which has since become an Airbnb destination. Meanwhile, Celeste O'Connor and Mckenna Grace seem to play Tatum's school besties.

Not seen are some other new castmates, including Asa Germann, Sam Rechner, Ethan Embry, Timothy Simons, and Mark Consuelos. And we still don't know how some of the past *Scream *franchise alums — like Matthew Lillard, David Arquette, and Scott Foley (you know, the dead ones) — factor into the story.

We do get one line from Lillard's Stu Macher at the very end of the trailer: "This is gonna be fun!"

Meanwhile, the latest Ghostface killer declares, "I'm going to burn it all down" — before literally setting a house on fire.
