Scream star David Arquette will star in the new horror western Ghosts of the Ozarks. Arquette got his big break as Deputy Dewey Riley in Wes Craven's original Scream in 1996, but has starred in numerous genre and cult films since his acting debut in the early '90s. Three of his credits include westerns Wild Bill, Ravenous, and Bone Tomohawk, of which the latter two are cannibal horror films.
IGN reveals that Arquette will encounter the supernatural in his latest horror western, Ghosts of the Ozarks.

Arquette's Douglas asks James, "Did you catch a glimpse on the way in? The ghosts," as James struggles to determine what is and isn't real. Check out the full trailer below.
