During a panel in Megaconin Orlando, Matthew Lillard was asked how Shaggyyour character in the movies live-action of Scooby-Doo (2002 and 2004), would make it against Ghostfacethe franchise killer Panic.

“[Shaggy] It would surely survive, because he would look at the first person dead and run for days “answered the 55 -year -old actor. “He would do what anyone normal would do, ‘I’m out! I don’t want to be here! I don’t need to save anyone else. I’m leaving’.”

Lillard also remembered his participation in the first Panic (1996), where he interpreted STU MACHERone of the villains of the movie. On the panel, the actor shared memories of the recordings alongside Skeet Ulrichwho lived Billy Loomis In the feature.

“It was like a university experience for me”said Lillard. “We were a group of young people running through Santa Rosa. We worked from 18h to 8h and, after the filming, we went to David Arquiotte’s room to drink like idiots. It was a decisive moment in our lives, everything has changed to us. We are friends to this day.”

Ulrich agreed and stressed that none of those involved imagined that Panic It would become a cultural phenomenon.

“We were just actors trying to grow in the industry”said the actor. “Hollywood didn’t even want to invest in the movie at the time, but we risked and turned out to be a big hit.”

In addition to the reflections on the past, Lillard commented on his return to the universe of Panic in Panic 7scheduled to debut in February 2026.

“I was asked 1,000 times a day since the first movie was over if I would come back. And I’m happy to say yes”confirmed the actor.
