Portrayed by Neve Campbell, Sidney Prescott isn’t just the heart of the Scream franchise—she is its conscience, its moral anchor, and its emotional spine. For nearly three decades, she has endured betrayal, trauma, loss, and relentless violence… and still chose to live. With Scream 7 arriving February 27, Sidney’s return invites us to look back—not just at a survivor, but at a woman who reshaped what survival means.

Her name is Nancy Thompson, and she became one of horror’s greatest warriors. Before Laurie Strode faced Michael Myers again, before Sidney Prescott rewrote the rules of survival, Nancy Thompson stood her ground against a monster born from nightmares. This is not just a story about fear—it’s a story about focus, faith, and the power of the human mind to overcome the impossible.

In 1978, Laurie Strode took her place in cinematic history, and in the decades since, she has become the ultimate survivor. This is her story: a tale of fear, family, trauma, courage, and redemption. This Halloween, we don’t just revisit the Boogeyman—we celebrate the woman who stood against him.
