Scream, the fifth instalment in the Scream franchise and self-confessed "relaunch", has shared a new behind-the-scenes look at its central villain Ghostface.

The latest version of Ghostface hasn't changed much since the original '96 movie, fans will be pleased to know, with the killer looking just as sinister as ever in that iconic, Edvard Munch-inspired mask.

Sound mixer Greg Russell gave fans a sneak peek at a few stills from the upcoming title on Instagram, revealing post-production shots of a Ghostface close-up and a woman holding her phone.

Telling fans that he had a "blast" working on Scream, Russell also praised the "super fun filmmakers" and the movie's "very cool score". We wouldn't have expected anything less.

Explaining how the upcoming movie is not just Scream 5, Courteney – who is set to reprise her role of Gale Weathers – recently described Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett's entry as "a brand new launch".

Scream will hit cinemas on January 14, 2022.
