Scream Filmmakers Reveal Matthew Lillard's Secret Cameos That You Totally Missed

2022's "Scream" is all about paying homage to what came before, while forging a new path for a fresh batch of survivors. So, it's not surprising that the filmmakers wanted to squeeze in a few references to past events ... you know, aside from Sidney, Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox), and Dewey Riley (David Arquette) being a part of the plot. And when speaking to Fandom's Eric Goldman, producer Chad Villella revealed that Lillard actually got to voice Ghostface in the movie-within-the-movie, "Stab 8." 

As Villella explained, "So with Matt Lillard, we have his voice in the movie. He is the voice of the Stab 8 Ghostface with the flamethrower."

However, Lillard's (voice) cameos don't end there. The the producer went on to say, "[H]e also has a line in the house that says, "Cool house, Freeman!" at the party when Amber's (Mikey Madison) walking by." Co-director Tyler Gillett explained that fans will definitely pick up on it when rewatching the sequel, saying "When you hear it again, by the way, you're gonna go, 'Well, f***, of course that's Matt."

Really, it only makes sense that Lillard gets a voice cameo in the party, since it takes place in Stu Macher's old house from the first film. In fact, the house itself is part of the motive for the killers, so it's quite fitting. Amazingly enough, though, that's not the only cameo from some of the original cast: Tyler Gillett also revealed that Jamie Kennedy, aka film expert Randy Meeks, also has a small line in the film: "Jamie Kennedy also voice cameos at the party. He's the guy who says "Someone's goofy a** dad is kicking us out." Nice.
