Red Right Hand is a 1994 song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and is a recurring element of almost every Scream movie, except Scream 4 and the TV series. The song often plays in almost all of the films when Ghostface's presence is fully acknowledged in the town that he is lurking in. Additionally, Nick Cave recorded another version made specially for Scream 3.
The song was not featured on the Scream 4 soundtrack due to apparent copyright reasons.
An edited version of different parts of the song is heard in Scream (2022) when Ghostface kills Vince Schneider.
The song returns for two scenes during the middle and end of Scream VI.
