Emma Roberts loved Scream blood

Emma Roberts loved spending "two months covered in blood" on the set of 'Scream 4'.

The young actress - who stars alongside Hayden Panettiere, Courteney Cox and Neve Campbell in the reboot of the teen horror movie series - would love the opportunity to work on further films in the franchise because she had so much fun shooting it.

She said: "I basically spent two months screaming, covered in blood and laughing my head off in between each take - of course I'd do it again!

"I was so honoured to work with veterans like director Wes Craven and Neve. And of course, the new generation - we called ourselves 'The New Blood'."

The Hollywood beauty - Julia Roberts' niece - had a hard time watching the first series of films because she was so scared of them.

She said: "I remember watching the films when I was 13 and thinking they were like nothing I'd ever seen.

"I used to have to check every room in parent's house before bed to make sure there wasn't a killer hiding in my closet!"
