Ahead of "Scream’s" Mason Gooding coming back for Ghostface’s next appearance, the actor is the leading man in a Valentine’s Day treat among upcoming horror movies, "Heart Eyes." Halloween has Michael Myers, Christmas has Krampus and Thanksgiving has John Carver, and from now on, V-Day will have the Heart Eyes Killer. When CinemaBlend spoke to Gooding and his co-lead Olivia Holt, the Scream actor had a hilarious reaction to being a frequent horror movie survivor… thus far anyway.
Prior to "Heart Eyes," Gooding has become somewhat of a Scream King having played Chad Meeks-Martin in both 2022’s "Scream" and as part of the "Scream" 6 cast a year later, which had him surviving Ghostface on two occasions and officially coming back for the seventh movie, which will include Neve Campbell’s return. The actor was also in last year’s nostalgic horror comedy Y2K, which saw him surviving, too. When I mentioned his impressive track record for a frequent horror star, Gooding shared his thoughts on finally dying in a horror movie (someday).

00:00Is there like a way you would like to die in a horror movie?
00:03Oh, I'm just praying someone has the gall to kill me.
00:06I feel like I've earned it at this point,
00:08but for some reason my characters have a level of immortality
00:11that just eludes my desire to be killed.
00:16On screen, of course.
00:18Yeah, I would love to die naked for some reason.
00:22That just sounds about right.
00:24I don't know how it'll happen.
00:25Unreal.
00:26What?
00:26Unreal.
00:27You don't think that that would make a lot of sense?
00:30We're naked for so much of our lives,
00:32it only makes sense that we would die the same way
00:34we were brought into this world, naked and afraid.
00:39Goodbye.
