"I just don’t talk to them," Campbell said with a laugh. "No, I’m just kidding. I don’t think it’s any different, to be honest. We’re all here to make a great film. It’s like a playground that we’re in and we all have our characters and our parts to play."
When asked which of the franchises’ killers were their favorite, Arquette simply said: "Ghostface."
