Scream 6 is out in the world, featuring the latest in a long line of Ghostface killers slicing and dicing their way through New York City.

Warning: the following contains light spoilers from Scream 6. If you haven’t watched yet and want to remain unspoiled, stop reading now.
Midway through the movie, Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown), the equally geeky niece of Randy (Jamie Kennedy) from the first two Scream films, mentions a long-time real-life fan theory that Stu actually survived being killed by Sidney (Neve Campbell) in the first film and is now living somewhere in hiding.
