Neve Campbell, who featured in five of the “Scream” movies, wasn’t a part of the latest film – “Scream VI”. Actress Mellisa Barerra admits that it was “weird” not having Campbell back for the sixth film, but she found Campbell’s stance “very brave” and “important.”
She told PEOPLE: “This job requires so much of us, not only physically [but] mentally and emotionally.

If you don’t, you’re going to be miserable, so you shouldn’t do it. I applaud her always.”
