With Scream 7 officially becoming a massive hit this past weekend, it’s clearer than ever that this long-running franchise is here to stay. Now, Dread Central is reaching into the metaphysical world of the sequel to present an official playlist for the film’s bright new lead, Tatum Evans. Curated by Isabel May, who plays Tatum in the film, the mixtape offers a layered look into the character’s headspace.

Check it out below.

Music has always been an essential part of the Scream franchise. The soundtracks for these films are rarely arbitrary. Instead, they function as snapshots of the pop culture moment surrounding each entry. From Nick Cave’s “Red Right Hand” to Blue Öyster Cult’s “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,” the music of Scream has always helped shape the tone of the series while reflecting the world around it.

Still, one musical layer fans have never fully experienced is a glimpse into the characters’ personal listening habits. As a fan, I’ve always studied the posters on the walls in these films. From the Alice in Chains poster hanging in Sidney’s room in the original film to the Lady Gaga poster on Olivia’s blood-splattered bedroom wall in Scream 4, those details hint at who these characters really are.

Now we get a closer look into the inner world of Sidney Prescott’s daughter with an official playlist of songs handpicked by Isabel May herself. Below is a message from May to Scream fans about the music that helped her step into the role:

“I thought it would be really cool to share with you a playlist that I created for Tatum. It’s what helped me get into character and helped me get into the world of . I’m a huge fan of music, and I love small artists in particular, so this playlist is kind of a mixed bag of old and new. And for any fans that also love music, this is for you.” – Isabel MayTune in here via Dread Central’s :
