A new "Scream 7" teaser is giving fans hope that Matthew Lillard's character Stu is still alive and has been locked up at a psychiatric hospital. He's not shown, but he's been confirmed to return in some capacity.

A new teaser came out yesterday for "Scream 7" and it's giving fans hope that Matthew Lillard's character Stu Macher could be alive. There's a quick scene showing that someone is at a psychiatric hospital with weird drawings on the wall.  Then you hear the voice of Ghostface telling Neve Campbell's Sidney that her daughter is now around the same age she was when the original murders happened in the first "Scream".

Matthew was previously confirmed to be returning, but there's no word on how.  He was thought to be dead at the end of the first movie.  If you remember, he and Skeet Ulrich's Billy Loomis were the original killers behind the mask.

"Scream 7" hits theaters February 27th.

So many easter eggs in the latest teaser - gotta watch closely ;)
