“I had been really apprehensive about doing another one,” the actress explained last year inVariety’s special “House of Horror”. “People had asked in the past whether I would do another one without Wes or whether I would make another one. I always felt like it’d be too difficult to do it without Wes. He was the master of these films. He did such a beautiful job on them. We were a family.”
But Campbell eventually heard from the new directors,Ready or Notduo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and learned of their commitment to honoring Craven’s legacy.

In the end, it was a personal message from the pair that convinced her to come back to her mosticonic role.
“They actually wrote me a letter and they said they basically are directors because of these films,” Campbell said at the time. “They are directors because of Wes Craven and they’re really so excited to be a part of these films and what an honor it is to do them, and that they really want to do justice to Wes and honor his legacy.”
“That meant a lot. That letter meant a lot to me,” she continued. “Then I went and watched one of their films and it’s brilliant and in keeping in tone. So I thought, ‘You know what, I can do this.’ I think this could be a lot of fun and a good idea. These are people who are doing it for the love of these films. So that meant something.”
