Despite the fact that we all assumed his killer character Stu Macher died at the end of 1996’s “Scream,” actor Matthew Lillard has been confirmed to be returning for the forthcoming “Scream 7,” according to Deadline and seemingly confirmed by Lillard in a Thursday Instagram post.

Lillard, who played Stu Macher in the first Scream movie, has been cast in Scream 7, as reported by Deadline. Stu was one-half of the Ghostface killer duo in the 1996 film alongside final girl Sidney Prescott’s boyfriend Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich).

Matthew Lillard still likes scary movies. The actor, who starred in Wes Craven’s original “Scream” and did not return for future entries considering, well, narrative events, is joining the cast of the franchise’s upcoming seventh installment.
