Courteney Cox has reprised her iconic character from Scream to get into the Halloween spirit this season. The 60-year-old Hollywood star plays Gale Weathers in the long-running horror franchise - a role she has held down since the first film was released in 1996. For Halloween 2024, Courteney channelled the character for her festive costume - styling her hair into bangs and dressing in a garish purple suit.
Joined by two adorable dogs wearing classic Scream outfits, the TV and film star goofed around on camera for the amusement of fans before another human, dressed in a full sized outfit, surprised her from behind. Sharing footage on her Instagram feed, the American actress added a simple caption that stated: "Happy Halloween everyone!" Friends co-star Jennifer Aniston was among those reacting to the post, writing in response: "Hahahahaha I can’t." While another fan typed: "happy halloween to the ultimate scream queen and best final girl!" The star has previously hinted she hated the bangs style of hair that she sports in the franchise.
She told Drew Barrymore in 2022: “There was nothing worse. That was a big lesson in life because that will forever be on film." Courteney will soon reprise the role for a seventh time in a forthcoming Scream sequel.
Due to start filming in December, the next instalment in the popular franchise is being directed by original film screenwriter Kevin Williamson - who is also the mastermind behind iconic teen drama Dawson's Creek. Canadian actr.
