‘Scream VI’ Directors Hid Themselves in the Subway Scene, Plus 50 More Easter Eggs Explained (EXCLUSIVE)
Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from “Scream VI,” now playing in theaters. The casual horror fan probably noticed a few iconic masks and monsters in the “Scream VI” subway scene: There’s Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Pinhead and even modern staples like Florence Pugh’s flower dress from “Midsommar” and a group of tethered people from Jordan Peele’s “Us.” But costume designer Avery Plewes and directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett went went to inconceivable lengths to pack more than 50 Easter eggs, costumes and blink-and-you-miss-it references into the latest “Scream.” Tracking down Ghostface in New York City, the “Scream VI” crew, consisting of Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega), Sam Carpenter (Melissa Barrera), Mindy Meeks-Martin (Jasmin Savoy Brown), Chad Meeks-Martin (Mason Gooding), Ethan Landry (Jack Champion) and Danny Brackett (Josh Segarra), pile into the subway to confront the latest masked killer. However, it’s Halloween time, which means the train car is packed with throngs of New Yorkers in creepy costumes.
