Fans react hilariously as David Arquette reprises his role as Dewey in ‘Scream 7’: "The entire cast is now immune to stab damage"

Just when you thought Scream couldn't get any crazier, the series makes a full-fledged horror movie switch - because apparently, dying is just a small setback in Woodsboro. David Arquette is now officially rolling out his badge and mustache to play Dewey Riley again in Scream 7, all despite the whole 'being very much deceased' business from the previous film.

But hey, logic has never exactly been the strong suit of this franchise - just ask Matthew Lillard, who's somehow back as well, showing that having a TV thrown in your face is only a minor speed bump.

Now with Scott Foley joining in on the mayhem, it appears that this sequel is going full-tilt crazy, and frankly? We wouldn't have it any other way. As soon as the news went out, someone took to his X account and commented:

"The entire cast is now immune to stab damage"

At this point, Scream is no longer a horror franchise - it's an upper-echelon survival training program for making it through anything at all. If the entire cast is now stab-proof, then Ghostface may as well switch to using a strongly worded email.

From miraculous resurrections to characters recovering from injuries that would bench a professional wrestler, Woodsboro is beginning to resemble less a town and more a video game lobby where everybody gets infinite respawns.

And in the blink of an eye, the internet has officially gone Ghostface crazy - because nothing is a conversation starter quite like Scream happily redefining the rules of life and death.

From ecstatic enthusiasm to total denial, the responses are coming in quicker than a masked assailant in a third-act car chase scene. Some are partying, some are wondering if reality isn't a myth after all, and others are here for the memes. So, let's get some popcorn, lock the doors (just in case.), and get to what the fans are saying.

Netizens have reacted as David Arquette reprises his role as Dewey in Scream 7

Naturally, some fans used this as the best chance to hone their comedy craft, leaving jokes sharper than Ghostface's knife.

Whether they were making jokes about the franchise's inability to keep characters dead or whether Ghostface needed a new knife, the internet was once again demonstrating that horror and comedy go together:

"Wait, didn’t Dewey die?," a user commented.

"How? I feel like his funeral was literally a plot point?," another user hilariously commented.

"What a dumb franchise," a netizen sarcastically expressed.

Some users piped up just for the hell of it, dropping jokes that went from brilliant to utterly insane. Whether or not they made sense was irrelevant - on the internet, the point is simply to say 'something' before the next big drama comes along:

"PARANORMAL ACTIVITY EXISTS IN THIS MOVIE," a folk commented.

"I’m done lol," a user hilariously wrote.

A netizen (@dchendrix) commented with a hilarious gif:

The peanut gallery had no hesitation chiming in with sarcasm and skepticism served up like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Whether they were questioning the rationale or acting as if they had seen this coming, they had to get their two cents in before proceeding on to the next internet argument:

"Scream.......7? Are writers that desperate? Jeez," a user commented.

"Is this movie a flashback?," a netizen wrote.

And there you have it - another day, another internet breakdown over Scream casually subverting the laws of life, death, and mere logic. Fans were partying, making jokes, and debating the very fabric of reality. Now, we hold our breath for the next twist - because at this point, don't be shocked if Scream 8 returns the TV that destroyed Stu as a fully formed antagonist.
