NecroBobicon: Kevin Smith Shares ‘Evil Dead’-Inspired Prop from Next Jay & Silent Bob Movie
The lovable duo Jay & Silent Bob will return in a brand new movie that Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes are shooting later this year, and Smith has taken to Instagram this afternoon to share a prop that he had whipped up for the production. It’s titled the “NecroBobicon,” a take on the classic Necronomicon from The Evil Dead that looks to be made out of Silent Bob’s face.
Smith jokes in his Instagram post, “Behold the NecronomiKev – The Book of the Dead Film Careers! Kidding (kinda). It’s actually called The NecroBobicon!”
What’s particularly cool about this killer prop is that it was created by Night of the Living Nick Studios, which is run by a graduate of Tom Savini’s makeup effects school.
“I commissioned @nightofthelivingnick (graduate of the @thetomsavini School) to unearth this ancient, evil tome that features in the new @jayandsilentbob flick @jaymewes and I start shooting later this year,” Smith explains. “The NecroBobicon doesn’t swallow your soul – but legend has it that misuse of the book will leave the reader forever silent…”
We can’t tell if Smith is referring to Twilight of the Mallrats or a Jay & Silent Bob movie that hasn’t been announced yet, but keep your eyes locked on his social accounts for updates.

It’s been a few months since we’ve gotten an official update on Scream 7, but one thing we do know for certain is that Neve Campbell will be back as Sidney Prescott this time around.
And according to Campbell, the upcoming seventh installment will be a return to the franchise’s roots in the sense that Sidney Prescott will be the central character of the movie.
“We are going to follow Sidney,” Campbell confirms to ET Online this week.
“They did pitch the concept to me, and it’s the reason that I jumped on board,” Campbell adds. “I love these movies, they are so much fun to be a part of. I’m so grateful for them; I could never have imagined being a part of a movie that would have lasted this many decades.”
Sidney was featured as a supporting character in 2022’s Scream, while Campbell infamously did not return for the following year’s Scream VI due to a pay dispute. Those two movies, both directed by the filmmakers Radio Silence (Abigail), mixed a new generation of characters with the legacy characters, but much has happened since Scream VI released last year.
The franchise has been mired in controversy in the past several months, with new series leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega both exiting the project. Barrera was fired, while it was subsequently announced that Ortega wouldn’t be returning. At this time, we still don’t know if Jasmin Savoy Brown or Mason Gooding will be returning for Scream 7.
Original Scream scribe Kevin Williamson will DIRECT the upcoming Scream 7, with franchise mainstay Courteney Cox expected to also return as heroine Gale Weathers.
The upcoming Scream 7, which is currently untitled, was written by Guy Busick from a story by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick. Stay tuned for more on the film as we learn it.
