Matthew Lillard knows a thing or two about surviving some of the best horror movies. After all, he played one of Scream’s most iconic killers, and he’s set to return for the upcoming Scream VII. But what if Ghostface came for another one of his classic characters? According to Lillard, Scooby-Doo’s Shaggy wouldn’t just survive one of the iconic slasher movies; he’d be the first one out of there. And, honestly, his reasoning is solid.
It was at MegaCon 2025 that the beloved Scooby-Doo actor shared his hilarious take on how Shaggy Rogers would handle being hunted by Ghostface. While many scary movie victims make the mistake of sticking around when things start going south, the Five Nights at Freddy’s actor argues that Shaggy’s instinct for self-preservation would kick in immediately. In the words of the actor (via People), Scooby’s best mate wouldn’t be an easy target:
[Shaggy] would 100% kick ass, ‘cause he would literally look at the first dead person and run for days. He would do what every normal person would do, which is like, ‘I’m out! I don’t wanna be here! I don’t need to save anyone else. I’m leaving.’
