History Film / ScreamVI

** Sam is already familiar with Kirby because she attended Woodsboro High as a freshman while Kirby was a senior, which would make Sam 26, as Kirby herself says she's 30. If that is the case, then, given the five-year gap between the Carpenter sisters' ages, Tara would be 21, which doesn't gel with the fact that the previous film (set one year before this one) had her and her friend group attending high school.

A sequel is currently in development. Barrera was initially expected to return as Sam Carpenter, but was ejected from the film in November 2023 after she made social media comments on the Israel-Hamas war condemning the genocidal actions in Gaza. The following day, it was announced that Ortega would not be returning as Tara Carpenter. Creator/ChristopherLandon (''Film/HappyDeathDay'', ''Film/{{Freaky}}'') was originally announced to be taking over as director from Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett. However, a month after Barrera and Ortega's departures, it was revealed that Landon too was no longer attached to the project. In March the following year, Neve Campbell said that a seventh film would be made with her as Sidney and original writer Creator/KevinWilliamson in the director's chair.

** Of course, there's the Ghostfaces of this film. [[spoiler:Despite the fact that the Baileys are fully aware of what Sam is capable of doing when push comes to shove (since she killed the eldest Bailey son, Richie, by [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill stabbing him 22 times, slitting his throat, and then shooting him in the head]]), they still decide to commit an entire revenge plan predicated on the idea that Sam would have to be violent to make it work. Unsurprisingly, [[NiceJobBreakingItVillain this doesn't end well for the Bailey family]].]]

* TheBusCameBack: Hayden Panettiere reprises her role as Kirby Reed after only receiving a FreezeFrameBonus mention in the previous film, now serving an UsefulNotes/{{FBI}} Agent with a major role in the film.

** "In My Head" by Creator/MikeShinoda and Kailee Morgan pertains to the terror of facing one's personal demons and how the scariest things can be in their own mind as well.
