“	Do you like scary movies?	„
	~ Ghostface's catchphrase.

“	What's your favorite scary movie?	„
	~ Ghostface's most famous quote.

Ghostface is the identity adopted by the main antagonists of the Scream franchise.

It is a fictional persona and Halloween costume used as a disguise by the antagonists of the franchise to conceal their identity.

Over the course of the franchise, at least fourteen people have used the Ghostface identity (nineteen if the TV series is counted, twenty when including the Stab films, and twenty-one when considering video games).

In the movies and the third season, Ghostface is voiced by Roger L. Jackson, who also played Mojo Jojo from The Powerpuff Girls, Wizeman from NiGHTS, and Nohman from Zone of the Enders, regardless of who is behind the mask. In the first two seasons of MTV Scream, Lakewood Slasher is voiced by Mike Vaughn. In-costume scenes for Ghostface were portrayed by Lee Waddell, Dane Farwell, Tony Cecere and Skeet Ulrich in Scream (1996), by Chris Doyle, Allen Robinson, Kurt Bryant, Chris Durand, and Lee Waddell (again) in Scream 2, by Brian Avery in Scream 3, by Dane Farwell (again) in Scream 4, by Keith Ward, Paul Burke, and Jack Quaid in Scream (2022), and by Mathieu Coderre, Max Laferriere and Jack Champion in Scream VI.

Overview

Initially, Billy Loomis created the identity with Stu Macher in order to kill Sidney because of her mother's affair with Billy's father, Hank, which triggered his mother to leave, after a short killing spree in the fictional Northern California town of Woodsboro. However, the changing identity of the person beneath the mask means that Ghostface has no definite motivation, ranging from revenge to seeking fame to "peer pressure". However, each killer shares the common goal of killing Sidney Prescott, and later Samantha Carpenter, to a chain of events indirectly caused by Sidney's mother, Maureen.

In the Scream universe, the costume is not unique and is easily obtainable, allowing others to wear a similar outfit. Ghostface often calls its targets to taunt or threaten them while using a voice changer that hides its true identity. In Scream 3, this is taken further by Roman Bridger who uses a device that enables him to sound like several other characters in order to manipulate targets. The Ghostface persona remains the same throughout the Scream series, featuring a black hood and cloak with a jagged base and a white vinyl mask with a black shroud sewn onto the back, resembling a ghost with a screaming expression. Though each iteration of Ghostface is human, they often exhibit extreme durability against physical harm, high levels of physical strength, and an almost supernatural stealth ability; able to appear and disappear in seemingly impossible situations. The character has often appeared in popular culture since its inception, referenced in film and television as well as spawning a series of action figures and merchandise.

The Ghostface mask itself was originally created by Fun World Div. Easter Unlimited, Inc. employee Brigitte Sleiertin for a series of masks titled "Fantastic Faces" released as Halloween masks in the early 1990s by Fun World. The mask was given the trademarked name of "GhostFace" by the Fun World licensing director R.J. Torbert in 1999-2000. The Ghostface mask also returned in The Face of Fear, a novel written by Torbert himself. Ghostface was also given the trademarked name "The Icon of Halloween" in 2010-2011 by Torbert as well for the Scream 4 hype.

Abilities and Attributes

Unlike supernatural killers, such as Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, or Freddy Krueger, Ghostface is human, but has several skills of a deadly killer. Ghostface is skilled in spying and stealth, allowing him or her to hide in unexpected places. Also, he or she exhibits tremendous durability against physical harm and has high levels of physical strength both of which have limits that exist within their human attributes. As seen in Scream 2, he was able to kill both Officer Richards and Officers Andrews, who were two of Chief Hartley's best men. In Scream 3 he was able to kill both Cotton Weary and later on Jennifer Jolie's bodyguard Steven Stone, despite their size.

Ghostface seems to display a heightened sense of awareness. He or she is often able to know where his victims are located before a physical attack, where they are hiding, and/or to be where they will attempt to escape. As seen in Scream 2, he was able to tell if, when, and where his victim would place his head against a bathroom stall dividing wall (enabling Ghostface to stab the target in the head from the next stall over).

Ghostface is strong enough to lift up a person and to stun his victims with punches. He can endure several damages like having a beer bottle thrown on his face and surviving some stab or bullet wounds, but only to an extent. Ghostface is very skillful in wielding his knife, and has enough strength to puncture through doors with his knife. Ghostface kills his victims by stabbing them on vital points or slitting their throats. He is also fast enough to catch most of his victims.

Roman Bridger had a voice changer that could copy other voices, confusing his victims. Roman also wore a bulletproof vest under his Father Death costume, which allowed him to survive gunshots to the chest.

Ghostface is sometimes a little bit of a klutz; Ghostface gets hit by doors and other objects like a refrigerator door while fighting with Tatum, and sometimes fall down to the floor while chasing Sidney. Their strategies seem very strict, specifically by revolving solely around stealth. If certain things are not according to plan, their strategies can easily be compromised if they are not careful. If they ever do happen to get caught, without the proper preparations for such an outcome, all they can really do is pursue their victim before the victim can use this opportunity to fight back or even escape. It should also be noted that regardless of who is behind the mask, Ghostface is always be depicted as a mere scary movie fanatic, who gets their killing methods from the many horror movies they watch. Despite their vast knowledge on murder, these movies do not serve as reliable sources of information on how to fight when the situation calls for it. Their shroud serves as a disadvantage, enabling the possibility of it getting caught in nearby objects. Their mask does not serve as a shield, so their head and face are still vulnerable to certain types of physical harm.

Six of the Ghostface killers (Billy, Mickey, Roman, Jill, Amber and Ethan) have been able to survive potentially fatal wounds and spring back up for one last scare (although they were killed immediately after).

Despite actually being different people, Ghostface has a habit of menacingly wiping the blood off his knife with one gloved hand after stabbing someone and has thorough knowledge of horror film genre, including conventions and trivia.

Weapons and Equipment

• Buck 120 Hunting Knife: The iconic weapon of the Ghostface killer. Usually used to stab victims, slit their throats or gut them.
• Gun: Usually used when Ghostface finally reveals his/her identity to their last victim.
• Father Death costume/Ghost mask: Used to hide his/her identity. The iconic wardrobe of the killer of the Scream franchise.
• Bullet-proof Vest: Used by Roman Bridger and Amber Freeman to protect themselves from gunshots to the chest.
• Voice-changer: An electronic device used to mask the killer's real voice and change it to a deep, grunting voice. In the third film, another voice changer is used and it's able to replicate anyone's voice perfectly, allowing the person behind the mask to easily deceive and manipulate their victims.
• Video Camera: Used by the 'Remake' killers, to record a video of them murdering their victims in order to obey the rule of which the Killer should film the murders.

Billy/Ghostface: Hello? Casey: Yes? Ghostface: Who is this? Casey: Who're you trying to reach? Ghostface: What number is this? Casey: Well, what number are you trying to reach? Ghostface: I don't know. Casey: Well, I think you have the wrong number. Ghostface: Do l? Casey: It happens. Take it easy. [Casey hangs up, but Billy calls her again] Ghostface: I'm sorry. I guess I dialled the wrong number. Casey: So why'd you dial it again? Ghostface: To apologize. Casey: You're forgiven. Bye now. Ghostface: Wait, wait. Don't hang up. I wanna talk to you for a second. Casey: They've got 900 numbers for that. See ya. [Casey hangs up the phone and goes to the kitchen to make popcorn, phone rings again] Casey: Uh, hello? Ghostface: Why don't you want to talk to me? Casey: Who is this? Ghostface: You tell me your name, I'll tell you mine. Casey: I don't think so. [popcorn shaking] Ghostface: What's that noise? Casey: Popcorn. Ghostface: You're making popcorn? I only eat popcorn at the movies. Casey: Well, I'm getting ready to watch a video. Ghostface: Really? What? Casey: Oh, just some scary movie. Ghostface: Do you like scary movies? What's your favourite scary movie? Casey: Uh, I don't know. Ghostface: You have to have a favourite. What comes to mind? Casey: Um, "Halloween." You know, the one with the guy in the white mask who walks around and stalks baby-sitters. What's yours? Ghostface: Guess. Casey: Um, "Nightmare on Elm Street". Ghostface: Is that the one where the guy had knives for fingers? Casey: Yeah, Freddy Krueger. Ghostface: Freddy, that's right. I liked that movie. It was scary. Casey: Yeah, the first one was, but the rest sucked. Ghostface: So, you got a boyfriend? Casey: [chuckling] Why, you wanna ask me out on a date? Ghostface: Maybe. Do you have a boyfriend? Casey: No. Ghostface: You never told me your name. Casey: Why do you want to know my name? Ghostface: 'Cause I want to know who I'm looking at. Casey: What did you say? Ghostface: I want to know who I'm talking to. Casey: That's not what you said. Ghostface: What do you think I said? [Casey turns on the patio light and looks out the patio doors] What? Hello? Casey: Look, I gotta go. Ghostface: Wait. I thought we were gonna go out. Casey: Uh, nah, I don't think so. [locks the patio doors] Ghostface: Don't hang up on me! [Casey hangs up, popcorn pops while Casey tries to put down the phone, the phone rings again] Casey: Shit... [answers] Yes? Ghostface: I told you not to hang up on me. Casey: What do you want? Ghostface: To talk. Casey: Well, dial someone else, okay? [Casey hangs up again, however, as she goes to the kitchen, Billy calls her again] Casey: Listen, asshole! Ghostface: No, you, listen, you little bitch! You hang up on me again, I'll gut you like a fish, understand?! [chuckles] Oh yeah. Casey: Is this some kind of joke? Ghostface: More of a game, really. Can you handle that, blondie? [Casey runs to close the front door and looks outside] Ghostface: Can you see me? Casey: Listen. I am two seconds away from calling the police. Ghostface: They'd never make it in time. We're out in the middle of nowhere. Casey: What do you want? Ghostface: To see what your insides look like. [Casey tearly hangs up. Billy rings the bell at the front door]. Casey: [scared] Who's there? Who's there? I'm calling the police. [Billy calls again] Ghostface: You should never say "Who's there?" Don't you watch scary movies? It's a death wish. You might as well just come out here to investigate a strange noise or something. Casey: Look, you've had your fun now, so I think you better just leave or else. Ghostface: Or else what? Casey: Or else my boyfriend'll be here any second and he'll be pissed when he finds out. Ghostface: I thought you didn't have a boyfriend. Casey: I lied! I do have a boyfriend... and he'll be here any second, so your ass better be gone... Ghostface: Sure. Casey: I swear... He's big and he plays football, and he'll kick the shit out of you! Ghostface: I'm getting scared. I'm shaking in my boots. Casey: So you better just leave... Ghostface: His name wouldn't be... Steve, would it? Casey: How do you know his name? Ghostface: Turn on the patio lights... again. [Casey turns on the patio light, where she notices Steven tied to a chair, who is terrified and tries to save him] Ghostface: I wouldn't do that if I were you. Casey: Where are you? Where are you? Ghostface: Guess. Casey: Please don't hurt him. Ghostface: That all depends on you. Casey: Why are you doing this? Ghostface: I wanna play a game. Casey: No. Ghostface: Then he dies right now! Which is it? Which is it? Casey: Well, what kind of a game? Ghostface: Turn off the light. You'll see what kind of game. Just do it! Steven: [muffled] No, Casey! No! No! [Casey turns off the patio lights] NO! CASEY! Ghostface: Here's how we play. I ask a question. If you get it right, Steve lives. Casey: Please don't do this. Ghostface: Come on, it'll be fun. It's an easy category. Movie trivia. I'll even give you a warm-up question. Name the killer in "Halloween." Come on, it's your favourite scary movie, remember? He had a white mask, he stalked the baby-sitters. Casey: I don't know. Ghostface: Come on. Yes, you do. Casey: No, please. Ghostface: What's his name? Casey: I can't think. Ghostface: Steve's counting on you. Casey: Michael... Michael Myers. Ghostface: Yes! Very good. Now for the real question. Casey: No! Ghostface: But you're doing so well. We can't stop now. Casey: Please stop! Leave us alone! Ghostface: Then answer the question. Same category. Name the killer in "Friday the 13th." Casey: Jason! Jason, Jason! Ghostface: I'm sorry. That's the wrong answer. Casey: No, it's not! No, it's not, it was Jason! Ghostface: Afraid not... No way... Casey: Listen, it was Jason! I saw that movie 20 goddam times! Ghostface: Then you should know Jason's mother, Mrs. Voorhees. She was the original killer. Jason didn't show up until the sequel. I'm afraid that was a wrong answer. Casey: You tricked me. Ghostface: Lucky for you there's a bonus round, but poor Steve... I'm afraid he's out! [Stu guts Steve off-screen, while Casey watches in horror] Ghostface: Hey, we're not finished yet. Final question. Are you ready? Casey: Please, please, leave me alone... Ghostface: Answer the question, and I will. What door am I at? Casey: What? Ghostface: There are two main doors to your house. The front door and the patio doors. If you answer correctly, you live, very simple. Casey: Don't do this... I can't... I won't... Ghostface: Your call...

Sidney's first phone call

“

Billy/Ghostface: Hello, Sidney. Sidney: Uh, hi, who is this? Ghostface: You tell me. Sidney: Well, l have no idea. Ghostface: Scary night, isn't it? With the murders and all, it's like right out of a horror movie or something. Sidney: [laughs] Randy, you gave yourself away, are you calling from work, 'cause Tatum's on her way over. Ghostface: Do you like scary movies, Sidney? Sidney: I like that thing you're doing with your voice, Randy, it's sexy. Ghostface: What's your favourite scary movie? Sidney: Oh, come on. You know I don't watch that shit. Ghostface: Why not? Too scared? Sidney: No, no. It's just, what's the point? They're all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can't act, who's always running up the stairs when she should be going out the front door. It's insulting. Ghostface: Are you alone in the house? Sidney: Randy, that's so unoriginal. I'm disappointed in you. Ghostface: Maybe that's because I'm not Randy. Sidney: So, who are you? Ghostface: The question isn't: "Who am l?", the question is: "Where am l?" Sidney: So, where are you? Ghostface: Your front porch. Sidney: Why would you be calling from my front porch? Ghostface: That's the original part. Sidney: Oh, yeah? [Sidney goes outside] Well, I call your bluff. So, where are you? Ghostface: Right here. Sidney: [after looking around for a while] Can you see me right now? Oh, Okay... [Sidney picks her nose] What am I doing? Huh? Hello? [chuckles] Nice try, Randy. Tell Tatum to hurry up, okay? Bye now. Ghostface: If you hang up on me, you'll die just like your mother! Do you wanna die, Sidney? Your mother sure didn't! Sidney: F-ck you, you cretin!.

"The House On Sorority Row"? "Dorm That Dripped Blood"? "Splatter University"? "Graduation Day"? "Final Exam"? Am I close? Ghostface: Closer than you think. Too slow, geek. Do you want to die? Randy: Is that the best you can do? Because Billy and Stu were much more original. Ghostface: Why are you even here, Randy? You'll never be the leading man. Randy: F-ck you!

Charlie/Ghostface: [calls from Trevor's phone] I wanna talk to Jill. Kirby: Um, no, it's Kirby. Sorry, Trevor, Jill is screening her calls from all past relationships. Ghostface: I'm not Trevor. Kirby: What? I can barely hear you, Trevor. Ghostface: This isn't Trevor. Kirby: Oh, oh, alright. Then why do you have his phone? Whoever this is. Ghostface: I wanna talk to Jill. Kirby: Ok, but she doesn't want to talk to you. Come on, Mr. Ghostface, whisper to me. Aren't you supposed to ask me a question? Ghostface: Alright. How's the movie? Kirby: What movie? Ghostface: Shaun of the Dead. Kirby: How did you know that? Ghostface: Because I'm standing in the closet. Kirby: Stop, you're not. [to Jill] Trevor is being weird. I mean, if it is him, I dunno. Ghostface: This is not, f-cking, Trevor! Kirby: Well, then who the f-ck are you? Ghostface: Open the closet door. Kirby: You do know there are cops all over this house? Ghostface: I think that I have just enough time to slice someone open. Come on, open the closet. Kirby: There is no way you're in there. Ghostface: See for yourself! Kirby: [slowly goes to open the closet, when she opens it, it turned out to be empty] Liar, I am over this. Ghostface: I never said I was in YOUR closet...

Sidney's first phone call

“

Charlie/Ghostface: Welcome home Sidney. Preview of coming events. Sidney: Why don't you come for me? You got the balls for that? Ghostface: Oh, poor Sidney. You think this is all about you? You think you're still the star. Sidney: This isn't a f-cking movie! Ghostface: It will be. You've done very well by all this blood shed, haven't you? How about the town you left behind? I ve got plans for you. I am gonna slit your eyelids in half so you don't blink when I stab you in the face. You'll die when I want you to, Sidney. Not a moment before. Until then, you re going to suffer.

Rebecca's phone call

“

Jill/Ghostface: Sidney Prescott, please. Rebecca: I am handling Miss Prescott's calls and appearances. May I take a message? Ghostface: You are the message. Are you writing this down? Rebecca: Yes, I am. But, it's kinda hard to hear you. I'm in a hospital, with Sidney. If you could just hang on one second. Ghostface: I've got time. It's you that doesn't. [car alarm blares] You know, Rebecca, it doesn't sound to me like you're in the hospital. Sounds like you're in a parking garage... a dark and deserted parking garage. But if you wanna be in the hospital, I'd be happy to put you there, in the morgue!

Sidney's second phone call

“

Jill/Ghostface: You're a survivor, aren't you Sidney, your one and only skill - you survive. Well, I have one question for you. What good's it to be a survivor in this little drama, if everyone close to you is dead? Sidney: Who are you? Ghostface: Turn on the TV to channel 6. Sidney: Who the f-ck are you?! Ghostface: Turn it on. Watch the teaser. [Sidney turns on TV and watches the news about Gale being attacked] [laughs] Glad you came home, Sidney. Has it been worth it yet? Sidney: Why are you doing this? Ghostface: Ah, friends count, but it's the family ties that cut deep. Am I right? Sidney: What do you mean? Ghostface: The ones you care about most. And what's closer than family? The bond of blood. You can't save them... all you can do is watch. [laughter].

Kirby's second phone call

“

Jill/Ghostface: Tell Sidney heads are gonna roll tonight! Tell Sidney it's all because of her! Or maybe she wants into his place. I promise to be quick. Kirby: Let him go, please... Ghostface: I hear you like horror movies, Kirby, but do you like them so much as him? Forget watching "Stab". You get to live it. Kirby: No, no, no, no, no... He's the expert, it's not me! Ghostface: Warm-up question: Jason's weapon? Kirby: Uh, it's a machete. Ghostface: There, you see? You do know the genre. Michael Myers? Kirby: Uh, butcher knife. Ghostface: Leatherface? Kirby: A chainsaw. Please... Ghostface: Just ask Sidney if you need some help. Freddy Krueger?! Kirby: Uh, uh, razor hands. Ghostface: Name the movie that started the slasher craze: "Halloween", "Texas Chainsaw massacre", "The Last House on the Left" or "Psycho"? Kirby: "Psycho". Ghostface: None of the above! "Peeping Tom". 1960, directed by Michael Powell. First movie to ever put the audience in the killer's POV. Kirby: What? Wait... No, no... Please, just ask me one more question, just one more! Ghostface: Alright, Kirby. Then it's time for your last chance question. Name the remake of the groundbreaking horror movie in which the villain... Kirby: "Halloween", "Texas Chainsaw", "Dawn of the Dead", "The Hills Have Eyes", "The Amityville Horror", "The Last House on the Left", "Friday the 13th", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "My Bloody Valentine", "When a Stranger Calls", "Prom Night", "Black Christmas", "House of Wax", "The Fog", "Piranha". It's one of those, right? Right?!

Tara's phone calls

“

Richie/Ghostface: Hello. Is Christina there? Tara: No, she's not available. May I take a message? Ghostface: Ah, yeah, um... Sorry, I'm a friend of hers from group... Oh, shit... Tara: From her shit? Ghostface: Look, just... tell her I'm from group. I'm Charlie, she's got my number. Tara: She goes to your group? Ghostface: I shouldn't have... Just tell her that Charlie called. Tara: I will do exactly that, Charlie, once you tell me, what kind of group we're talking about. Is it AA? NA? Ghostface: You sound exactly like she describes you. Tara: She talks about me in group? Ghostface: Look, I don't think I can really talk about that. Tara: What does she say about me? Ghostface: Well, she loves you very much. Tara: Oh, what does she love about me? Ghostface: Um, well... She loves that you're creative. You love art and TV and movies. Tara: Lots of people love movies. Ghostface: Yeah, but she says you love scary movies and that you guys have that in common. She's proud of making a fan out of you. Tara: She is? Ghostface: Yeah, she told me the other day, she wonders... what's your favorite scary movie? Tara: The Babadook, it's an amazing meditation on motherhood and grief. Ghostface: Isn't that a little fancy pants? Tara: Well, it's elevated horror. Ghostface: Uh-huh, what does that mean, "Elevated horror"? Tara: It's scary, but with complex emotional and thematic underpinnings, it's not just some schlocky, cheeseball nonsense with wall-to-wall jumpscares. Ghostface: Sounds kind of boring to me. Have you ever seen "Stab"? Tara: Once, I think, at a sleepover when I was, like, 12. Ghostface: You live in Woodsboro and you don't know "Stab"? Your mother loves that movie, she talks about it all the time in group. How well do you remember the original? Tara: I don't know I mean, it was super '90s. It was really over-lit and everyone had weird hair. Ghostface: Uh-huh... Do you remember the beginning? Tara: Not really. It started with a kill scene, right? They always started with a kill scene. Ghostface: Yeah, that's right. That's right... It's a girl at home, alone. She answers a wrong number and starts talking with the killer, who makes her play a game. Would you like to play a game... Tara?

Second phone call:

“

Tara: [thinks she talks to Amber] This isn't f-cking funny, Amber. Richie/Ghostface: I told you, this isn't Amber... [Richie shares a video of Amber to Tara] Amber's looking particularly fetching tonight,sShe really shouldn't leave her phone lying around for anyone to clone. Tara: What do you want? Ghostface: I told you, I want to play a game. "Stab" movie trivia, three rounds. You call the cops - she dies. You get a question wrong - she dies. Her parents aren't home and I can be in that room in 15 seconds. You want a warmup question? Tara: I told you I don't know these movies! Ask me about something I do know. Ask me about "It Follows", ask me about "Hereditary", ask me about "The Witch"... Ghostface: In the first "Stab" movie, what Woodsboro native was introduced as the franchise's main character? Tara: It's Sidney Prescott, it's Sidney Prescott and she lived on Elm. Ghostface: Correct. You see, you're gonna do great at this. Okay, question one... Tara: No, I got that one right, it should count. Ghostface: Anyone could have gotten that one right. Sidney is in every movie but the last one. Question one: Who wrote the original book, that the "Stab" movies are based on? Tara: Um... The chick from TV! Ghostface: "The chick from TV" is not gonna cut it, Tara. Tara: Oh, Gale Weathers! It's Gale Weathers, you motherf-cker! Ghostface: Correct, Amber might live to see the sunrise. Question two: Who played the dumb bitch at the beginning of "Stab 1" who answers the phone and gets carved up by the killer? Tara: F-ck you! Ghostface: Is that the answer you're going with? A non-answer counts as a wrong answer, Tara. Time's running out. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock... Tara: Heather Graham! Ghostface: Correct! You pulled that one out, now for the final question: Who was the killer in "Stab 1"? Tara: Oh, I know this one, you f-ck! It's Billy Loomis! It's Billy Loomis and he was Sidney's boyfriend and he was played by Luke Wilson, and I got you, asshole! I got it, I got it right! Ghostface: Oh, I'm sorry, Tara, but that's just not correct... Tara: What? No, no, it is... It is that is right... Ghostface: The correct answer is Billy Loomis, and - Stu Macher! There are two killers in the original "Stab". I'm afraid someone's got to die now.

Judy's phone call

Amber/Ghostface: Hello, Sheriff JU-DEE! Judy: Who is this? Ghostface: I think you know. I'm a fan of scary movies, and knives. What's your favorite scary movie? Judy: I prefer animated films and musicals. Why are you doing this? Ghostface: I'll tell you all about it I'm calling to turn myself in. Judy: I think that's a great idea. Ghostface: We'll sit down at the station, and I'll tell you about the two people I've killed. Judy: You've only killed one person. Ghostface: [laughs] By the time I see you, I'll have gutted your baby boy! Judy: No! [drives back to her house and calls the patrol there, and tries to reach Wes, but he doesn't answer as he is taking the shower] Ghostface: Can't get him on the phone, can you? He must be busy. Judy: How do I know you're anywhere near him? Ghostface: Ever seen the movie "Psycho"? Judy: Please... don't hurt my boy... Ghostface: Oh, Why not? Judy: He's a good kid. Ghostface: Is he, now? Judy: He never hurt anyone! Ghostface: That's not enough. Judy: Please! I'll do anything! Ghostface: You're not gonna make it in time, Sheriff Judy!

Sam's second phone call

“

Amber/Ghostface: Hello, Samantha. Richie can't come to the phone right now, he's finding out what happens to people who stick their noses in business that doesn't concern them. Sam: Please don't hurt him. Ghostface: I'll tell you what, now you can choose, I'll only kill one. Who do you want to hear die? Sam: No, please I'm begging you! Please don't hurt them! Ghostface: Really? You can't save your own sister? All you have to do is say - "kill Richie". [Amber knocks Tara out of her wheelchair] Sam: No! No! No! Tara! Don't touch her! Please, please, please, I'm begging you! Ghostface: Or say - "kill Tara," and I'll make sure to hit all the organs I missed last time. Sam: I'm begging you! Please don't hurt her! Ghostface: Last chance to save one, choose. Sam: Why are you doing this? Ghostface: You want to know why, Sam? Maybe it's because you're a selfish bitch, who can't even make a decision to save the life of someone you love... Maybe you're too weak for this franchise... Sam: Maybe you're right... or maybe I'm just stalling for time, you f-ck-head! [Sam and Dewey arrive at the hospital, Dewey shoots at Ghostface and saves Tara].

Ghostface: Not this movie Sidney! Sidney: You really need some new material. Ghostface: I got you here, didn't I? Sidney: You might actually be the most derivative one of all. I mean, Christ, the same house? Ghostface: Maybe so. But you forgot the first rule of surviving a Stab movie. Never answer the… Sidney: I'm bored. Ghostface: WAIT!

Laura's phone call

“

Laura: Hi. Hi, Reggie. Jason/Reggie: Laura, hi. Um, nice to phone-meet you in this incredibly embarassing way. Laura: Oh, you know, no problem, it's fine. Jason: This is what I get for picking a trendy place with no sign out front, huh? Laura: Yeah, why do they do that here? Jason: I don't know. I've only been in this city for a few months. Laura: Me too, no way! Well, um, it's a very cool restaurant. Jason: Is it on Hudson? Am I on Hudson? Laura: I don't know. Jason: Well, I am not on Hudson, shit! Uh, I am now walking towards Hudson. I am so sorry. This is not the first impression I wanted to make on a college professor. Laura: Oh, I'm Associate Professor, and it's just Film Studies, so... you're safe. Jason: Film Studies? That's cool. Laura: You say that, but try teaching a class on 20th century slashers to a heap of hungover 19-years olds. Jason: Slashers, huh? "What's your favorite scary movie?" Laura: Sure not that one. Jason: So why slashers? Laura: Well, I just, you know, I think it's interesting. You can really examine the culture of the moment by looking at the tropes of the time, like: the masked killer, the final girl, the different rules: don't split up, don't have sex... Jason: And: "Don't answer the phone?" Laura: Exactly. It's all cliché, but out of those clichés comes an opportunity for outsider art. A voice of the voiceless, you might say. Jason: Yeah, I'm more of a "rom-com guy" to honest. Okay, I think I'm on Hudson. What color is outside the restaurant? Laura: I think it's red. Jason: I don't see anything red. Laura: I could be wrong. Let me just go have a little look see. Jason: Oh, okay, thank you. Laura: [goes outside to check restaurant's color] Yep, it's definitiely red. Jason: Yeah, I'm not seeing anything red here. Laura: Sure you're on Hudson? Jason: Um... Oh, crap. I'm still a block over. Oh, it looks like there's an alley I can cut through. Is the restaurant near an alley? Laura: Um... Yes, there is an alley. Jason: Oh, perfect, I'm going down the alley. Laura: I don't see you. [walks into an alley] Jason: Wait. Really? Are you sure? Uh, there are some dumpsters about halfway down. Laura: I see them, but I don't see you. Jason: Yeah, I don't see you either. This is creepy, right? 20th century slashers, huh? Laura: Yeah, are you sure you're walking towards Hudson? Jason: I'm sure. Oh, wait, I think i see you. Can you wave? [waves her hand] Can you see me? Jason: The person I'm looking at isn't waving, they're just staring at me. Okay, this is weird. Um, he moves towards me. Laura: Are you okay? Jason: Oh shit, he is following me. Laura: I don't see anybody. Jason: Holy shit, he is after me! He's got a knife! And that isn't the worst part... The worst part is... [Jason activates a voice changer and speak to her as Ghostface] ...you teach a class about slashers, and you still walk into a dark alley, alone... Laura: That's not funny. Jason/Ghostface: Heh... No, it's not.

We said we wouldn't use the voice on each other. Ghostface: We said a lot of things. Jason: This is Greg, right? Ghostface: [laughter] Who else would it be? Jason: Where are you? I wanna tell you about it. By the way, we should go to that frat party. Tara's going. Ghostface: What was it like? Jason: Not on the phone, man. And seriously... turn off the f-cking voice modulator. Ghostface: I'm just trying to get the voice right, you got to have your practice, I get mine. Just tell me, what it felt like. And then maybe I'll come out. Jason: Dude, I know you're not here... Ghostface: Humor me. Jason: Alright, fine. It was even better than we could have imagined. And when the knife, went in her, it's like... she wasn't a human anymore. Just an animal. And everytime when I went in, she was less... Less human... And then? She was... just meat. Ghostface: But she wasn't just meat, Jason... She was a person, our film professor. Jason: Yeah, well... F-ck her. She gave me a C- on my Gaileo paper. Ghostface: [mockingly] Who's next, grade school vice principal? Jason: You know who's next. Why are you being like this? Ghostface: Come on, Jason. How long have we known each other? Jason: [confused] You tell me. Ghostface: Eight years. We met in Junior High, in Atlanta. I just want you to tell me why you think you're doing this, in your words. Jason: We're finishing Richie's film. Ghostface: That's right, by killing Sam and Tara. Jason: Why are you f-cking with me? Why won't you tell me where you are? Ghostface: Why do you keep asking me that? I already told you. I'm here. Let's play a game. Jason: Ah, shit... Ghostface: You know "warmer colder"? Come on, find me, and we'll go and cut up the Carpenter sisters. Jason: [notices "Greg" (Quinn) is watching him through the cameras] Are you using the f-cking cameras?! Ghostface: Yeah, the cameras. And at the moment, you're very, very cold. Jason: Alright douchebag... Let's play. [Jason enters one of the rooms] Ghostface: COLD. [Jason walks down the hall] Heating up... Warm... [Jason looks at the closet] Warmer... Jason: [opens the closet, which turned out to be empty, then he walks towards the kitchen] Alright, you know what? This is stupid... I'm gonna hang up now. Ghostface: But you're getting warmer. [Jason steps away slightly from the fridge] Colder. [Jason turns and looks at the fridge, slowly walking towards it] Warmer... Warmer... [Jason prepares to open the fridge] You're on FIRE!

Sam's first phone call

“

Wayne/Ghostface: Hello, Samantha. Did you miss me? Sam: I want you to think long and hard about whether you really want to do this, because the last two people that f-cked with us, ended up dead. Ghostface: You should be thanking me, Sam. Jason and Greg were gonna kill you and your sister. I gutted them before they had the chance. Sam: So, what? You're protecting us now? Ghostface: Not quite. I'm going to show the world who you really are, a liar and a killer. I'm going to punish you, Sam! Sam: You shouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet, asshole. Ghostface: Don't be cute, you're gonna pay for what you did! And I'm not gonna stop until I butcher you... you and anyone who gets between us! You and Tara better watch your backs.

Sam's second phone call

“

Sam: You're gonna die, you know? Quinn/Ghostface: No, you're gonna die, choking on your own blood when I hack up your sister! Sam: Unless we find you first.

Gale's phone call

“

Wayne/Ghostface: Hello Gale. Strange that you and I have never spoken on the phone. This is long overdue... I figured, after all these years, you wanted an interview. Gale: You figured right. So, what's your motive this time? Angry at the movies or just trying to stay relevant? Ghostface: Well, I could ask you the same... Don't you know, legacy characters are dispensable now. Nobody cares about last century's heroes. Gale: Then why you bother with me at all? Ghostface: Call it nostalgia. Or maybe you deserve to be PUNISHED for all that money you made off the misery of others. Maybe it's time, someone make a buck, reporting - YOUR death. Gale: You know you're like the tenth guy to try this, right? Spoiler alert. It never works out for the dipshit in the mask. Quinn/Ghostface: Oh, but they certainly leave a mark before they go, don't they? Richie and Amber managed to butcher Dewey and carve him up like a Christmas goose. How does it feel to lose the only man who ever loved you? Gale: F-ck you! Ghostface: How does it feel to know that you weren't there for him at the end? Not there to give him comfort, ‘cause he died screaming in his own guts. Gale: You're the one who's gonna die screaming! Ghostface: Maybe. But you won't be around to see it. You couldn't stop what happened to Dewey, just like you're not gonna be able to stop this... [throws Brooks' corpse through the glass].

Second phone call:

Quinn/Ghostface: You missed. Gale: Sure I did. Ghostface: You win. I'm in the elevator headed to the ground floor. Gale: Sure you are. [Gale shoots through the door] Ghostface: Maybe you did hit me, maybe I'm wounded? Or maybe I'm wearing a bulletproof vest? Gale: That's why I'm gonna shoot you in the f-cking head! [Gale searches her house to find Ghostface] Ghostface: You would have made a good killer, Gale. Sidney never wouldn't made sense, Dewey was the fan favorite, but you... You cracking under the pressure and turning into Ghostface? That would have made a great twist. Gale: Keep talking, asshole. Ghostface: [chuckles] Sure. What do you want to talk about? You never got to be the leading lady, did you? It was always all about poor, sweet Sidney sucking up all the oxygen. Where did that leave you to be? Gale: The brains and the sex appeal? Ghostface: Sorry about your boyfriend, all those muscles didn't help much. Gale: They sure didn't. Ghostface: [laughter] Gale: Can you hold please? Ghostface: What-?

Ghostface: I'm asking, because you are in one now. You're in my movie. Wayne: [notices Billy's Ghostface costume is missing, which leads him to believe that Sam put it on] I see you've put on your true face, huh? Your birthright. Poetic that you're gonna die in it. Ghostface: This is what you wanted, isn't it? Wayne: Now you know the truth, huh? Murder's in your blood! Stop f-cking around! Show yourself! Ghostface: Be careful what you wish for. Wayne: Well, I'm a f-cking police officer! How do you think this is going to go, Sam? Who do you think they're gonna believe, huh?! Ghostface: Probably the one, who's still alive.

Um, I, I just found my kitchen door open. Lakewood Slasher: Just take a deep breath, Emma. We got a patrol nearby. He can be there in a few minutes. Emma: Should, I, maybe go wait outside? Lakewood Slasher: You're safer inside. If someone tried to break in, he probably took off when the alarm sounded. Emma: Would you... Would you stay on the line with me until somebody gets here? Lakewood Slasher: Sure, I can do that. Emma: Sorry if I sound paranoid, it's just, my family has been harassed before. Lakewood Slasher: No worries. Whole town's on edge with all the Brandon James talk. Emma: Um, how far away is he? Lakewood Slasher: Dispatch says three minutes, tops. So, what're you doing home tonight? Watching some TV? Anything good on? Emma: Is this your way of trying to distract me? Lakewood Slasher: [chuckles] You see right through me. Emma: Sorry, but it's not working. Lakewood Slasher: Come on, humor me. What do you like to watch? Emma: I don't know. Uh, Game of Thrones, Scandal. Lakewood Slasher: How to Get Away with Murder? Emma: Yeah. That one's pretty good, I guess. Lakewood Slasher: I like a strong female lead. You sound pretty tough yourself. If that guy's still in your house, maybe he should be afraid. Emma: Don't even joke about that. Lakewood Slasher: [chuckles] Sorry. Uh, so what else do you like? Comedy? Horror? Emma: Definitely not horror. Real life is scary enough these days. I barely sleep anymore. Lakewood Slasher: You do look tired. Emma: What? Lakewood Slasher: You sound tired. Emma: What's taking him so long? Lakewood Slasher: He's getting close. What you should really be asking is, did you just lock me in or out? Emma: If you're in this house, I swear to God. Lakewood Slasher: What? You gonna try a little batting practice on me? br> Emma: Yeah, you're damn right I will. Lakewood Slasher: Gotta find me first, and I could be anywhere. Emma: I've got your number. I'm calling the police. Lakewood Slasher: By all means. They'll reach a nice confused man named Art who works at GPP Security, and the cops will never get here in time. So I suggest you talk to me. Emma: What do you want from me? Lakewood Slasher: To show you the truth, Emma. Who you really are. And trust me, it's gonna hurt. Emma: You don't know me. Lakewood Slasher: But I do, and that's the real horror show. I know that everyone you trust is lying to you, playing you. Emma: What are you talking about?

Ghostface: The only thing we know is that you have no idea what's under my mask. Marcus: Man, quit calling me, all right? I ain't got time to play these games. Ghostface: Aren't you curious about who I'm gonna kill? Or do you only care about yourself? That's your rep these days, isn't it, D-Day? Marcus: I don't give a damn what you think about me. Ghostface: Then I'm gonna make you care. I'm gonna carve away at Deion Elliot, the man, the myth, the legend, bit by bit. Find what lies beneath. Marcus: Beneath what? You're the one wearing a costume. Ghostface: No. I'm wearing armor. That's the only way to survive high school these days, isn't it? But I'm gonna find the seams, stick my knife in it and cut through your bone and meat until it scrapes against what matters most. Marcus: Oh, yeah, what's that? Ghostface: The truth - who you are, who your friends are on the inside. The only question is, who dies first? Kym? Amir? Manny? Beth? Liv? Marcus: [about Liv] You stay away from her. Ghostface: Too late, she just got to the party, but will she make it out? Marcus: Okay, okay. I'll play. Ghostface: Then come to the Old Metro Station. Better hurry, or there's gonna be blood on your hands and mine.

Marcus' second phone call

“

Marcus: I'm here. Jamal/Ghostface: You look scared. Marcus: You're the one scared to show your face. Ghostface: I'm right beside you. And I brought a real knife with me this time. So here's the game: I want you to confess your deepest, darkest secret to your new friends. Marcus: Man, I hardly know any of them. Ghostface: Good, that'll make baring your soul to them all the more humiliating. Marcus: Look, I had reasons for doing what I did. Ghostface: Let them be the judge of that when they see who you really are on the inside, if you don't, you'll be seeing the insides of someone else or maybe your own.

Kym's phone call

“

Kym: Who this? Beth/Ghostface: Do you like scary movies? Kym: No, I do not because everyone in them is stupid as hell. Ghostface: Do you like to play games? Kym: I ain't buying what you're selling. So, unless you tell me who you are, I'm hanging up. Ghostface: But I wanna know who you are, Kym, on the inside. Kym: Ghostface? Ghostface: See? You're good at games. Too bad we're not playing "20 Questions". Kym: We ain't playing, period. Ghostface: Yes, we are. The game started the second Avery's body hit the ground. The only question is, which one of you hypocrites dies next? Kym: You get off on scaring people, huh? Well, too bad I ain't scared. Ghostface: We'll see. Because I'm not here to scare you. I'm here to kill you. Kym: Go ahead, then. I got people over badder than you. Ghostface: You look alone to me in your pink, fuzzy slippers. Kym: Damn. Come outside, then. I'll introduce you to my people! [comes outside to Latavious] Ghostface: You mean the drug dealers exploiting the community they live in? They're the biggest hypocrites of all. Kym: We may even agree on that, but at least they strapped. Latavious! [discovers Latavious' dead body]

Shane's phone call

“

Shane: Who's this? Beth/Ghostface: Someone looking to score. Shane: Yeah, what you need? I got oxys, Vikes. Ghostface: I'm looking for something a little harder than that. But don't worry. You have it running through your veins. Shane: I'm warning you, I ain't playing. Ghostface: Yes, you are. You just don't know the game, we're playing chicken, Shane, and you already blinked. Shane: Yeah? Well, my eyes are wide open now, it ain't gonna happen again. Ghostface: We'll see about that. New game, hide-and-seek. Come find me. Shane: [a ladder is dropped on Shane's head and he got stuck, Ghostface descends the ladder] Get me outta here! Hey, hey, hey, what the hell, come on, man?! Hey, don't do this, don't do this! I got stuff. Wait, hey, listen to me, listen to me, wait, wait, wait, wait. Please, please! Please!

„

Marcus' third phone call

“

Marcus: Marcus (Deion), man, is this you? Beth/Ghostface: If I told you now, it would spoil the big twist, where's the fun in that? Marcus: Look, it won't be fun when I rip that mask off your face and shove it up your ass. Ghostface: Look at you showing some spine, too bad Shane didn't last night. Marcus: What are you talking about? Ghostface: After Mr. Fade showed everyone who he really was, I pumped him full of drugs, now he's dead, like all your friends will be when I'm done. Marcus: Why the hell are you even doing this, man? I thought it was me you wanted. Ghostface: What I want is to find out who Deion Elliot really is, about what happened on that Halloween night. Marcus: Yeah, me, too. Ghostface: Then go back to the scene of the crime, the place where you abandoned your brother, tonight. Marcus: And if I don't? Ghostface: Trick or treat, Deion. Your choice.

„

Jamal's phone call

“

Jamal: Hello? Beth/Ghostface: Hello, Jay. Jamal: New phone, who's this? Ghostface: You know exactly who it is. You made a big mess tonight, maybe I can help you clean it up. Jamal: Man, why you playing? Ghostface: You've taken some undeserved credit, I can't have that, charade comes to an end, tonight.

„

Marcus' fourth phone call

“

Marcus: What do you want? Beth/Ghostface: You already know what I want, the same thing I've always wanted. Marcus: Look, man, screw you, Jay, all right? I don't owe you nothing. Ghostface: Ironic, isn't it, that you're so sure you figured out who I am when all I've ever asked of you is to do the same, to own up to who you really, are on the inside? Marcus: Look, I'm a coward, all right? I've been a coward since the night I let my brother die, and I'm a coward today. Ghostface: No, you're gonna have to go deeper than that, or I will. Marcus: If you're really my brother, just please stop doing this. Ghostface: It's too late for that! If you treated me like blood, we wouldn't be having this conversation! But we are, and you can't change the past. Marcus: Bitch, you think I don't know that? Ghostface: Then focus on the present, you have a big game to play. The only question is, will you be playing football tomorrow night or my game? Because I promise you, you can only win one!

Trivia

• The character is based on a real-life serial killer, Louisiana-born Daniel Harold "Danny" Rolling, also known as "The Gainesville Ripper". Rolling murdered five co-eds and three others between 1989 and 1990 and was sentenced to death for these crimes in 1994, finally being executed in 2006 by lethal injection.
• The mask is based on The Scream painting by the late Edvard Munch and ghosts that appeared in a Betty Boop cartoon.
• As previously stated, no matter who dons the mantle of Ghostface (both in-universe and in-filming), the man behind the voice box in the films and season 3 is always Roger L. Jackson, who is known for voicing Mojo Jojo, Rowdyruff Boys member Butch, and Wizeman the Wicked.
• Interestingly, the character Tatum calls the killer "Mr. Ghostface" in Scream (1996), indicating that this could have been R.J. Torbert's inspiration for the name of the mask.
• Ghostface was featured along with other horror icons in the Halloween sale promotion for Vivziepop's Hazbin Hotel.
• Given the notoriety that Ghostface has received, it has become a staple in many horror movie references and parodies, including a character simply known as "The Killer" in the 2000 comedy spoof movie Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th.
• Wes Craven had the characters in Scream mention the Ghostface costume is called "Father Death" as a red herring, alluding to Neil, Sidney's father.
• In Scream (1996), Stu was meant to mention having to pee before Sidney is attacked in the high school bathroom, but it was believed to be too strong a clue that he was the killer.
• In the original Scream 2 script, there are three killers: Nancy Loomis, Derek Feldman, and Hallie McDaniel.
• In the original Scream 3 script, Angelina Tyler is a second killer. She reveals herself to be a former classmate of Sidney's and now in a relationship with Roman.
• The protagonists to wear the Ghostface costume and use the voice changer who wasn't a murderer were Sidney Prescott and Sam Carpenter. During a brief moment in Scream and Scream VI, they do this to turn the tables on Billy and Stu (Scream) and on Wayne Bailey (Scream VI). However, Sidney and Sam were only doing it in self defense.
• The 3 victims of the copycat murders from Scream 2 are: Phil Stevens (representing Steven Orth), Maureen Evans (representing Maureen Prescott) and Casey 'Cici' Cooper (representing Casey Becker). The copycat murders of Scream 2 are a dangling plot point. Mickey and Nancy begin murdering victims based on their names matching those of the original Woodsboro murders, but stop at 3. While the investigators discover the pattern, nothing comes of this, or is mentioned in the final confrontation. This is fleshed out slightly more in earlier drafts of the script, but still not resolved. Whether the two killers planned this as a red herring or altered course as they went along remains to be seen. From a story perspective, this fits in with the two killers having very different motives.
• The murders in Scream 3 follow a similar path to Scream 2. Roman killed the cast in the order their characters died in the Stab 3 script, until veering off course and killing without a pattern, just as Mickey and Nancy started as copycat killers until Randy's murder. In both cases, characters tried deducing who would be the next victim based on the pattern right when the killer stopped using the pattern.
• The Scream 3 characters may indeed have been killed in accordance with the Stab 3 script if you allow for the exceptions of non-cast members (Christine Hamilton, Steven Stone, and John Milton). Cotton Weary was set to cameo as himself in the opening death scene and he was the first actor to die. Sarah Darling's Candy was the second to die. It's known that Ricky was written to die and since the fictionalized Gale Weathers was set to be the killer, she would have died last. Tyson Fox dies between Sarah and Jennifer Jolie, who was the last killed. It's unknown if Sidney and Dewey's characters were set to be killed, but since Tori Spelling and David Schwimmer didn't return, it's likely the producers wanted to kill the characters off, making it possible that they died in the order Tom Prinze and Angelina Tyler were murdered.
• One of the killers "Came back to life for one last scare" in each film:

1. Billy Loomis (shot in the head by Sidney) - Scream (1996)
2. Mickey Altieri (shot in the chest by Sidney and Gale) - Scream 2
3. Roman Bridger (shot in the head by Dewey) - Scream 3
4. Jill Roberts (shot in the chest by Sidney) - Scream 4
5. Amber Freeman (shot in the head by Tara) - Scream (2022)
6. Ethan Landry (TV thrown on his head by Kirby) - Scream VI
7. It would have been possible that Nancy could have returned for one last scare, but she was shot in the head by Sidney, after she and Gale killed Mickey.

• With the exception of Scream 2 and Scream VI, in every cycle of murders there is one victim who Ghostface doesn't stab or kill with his knife:

1. Tatum Riley (garage door) - Scream (1996)
2. Officer Richards (metal pole) - Scream 2
3. Derek Feldman (shot) - Scream 2
4. Tom Prinze (blown up) - Scream 3
5. Trevor Sheldon (shot) - Scream 4
6. Liv McKenzie (shot) - Scream (2022)

• Roman, Quinn and Ethan are the only killers who dies in the Ghostface/Father Death costume.
• Roman Bridger was the only Ghostface who had no accomplice.
• Each of the Ghostface killers had the opportunity to kill off the 3 main characters:

1. Billy nearly stabs Sidney (Gale shoots him before he does that). The scene before that, Stu and Billy were about to kill Sidney if it weren't for Gale distracting them. (Scream)
2. Ghostface (Billy) also stabbed Dewey in the back but he survived. (Scream)
3. Ghostface (Nancy) brutally stabs Dewey in the back thrice, but he survives once again. (Scream 2)
4. Mickey reflexively shoots Gale in the stomach, but she survived. Before that, Nancy had her at gunpoint and could have killed her instantly. (Scream 2)
5. Sidney intensely escapes a police car through a knocked-out Ghostface (Mickey) at the driver's seat. Nancy has Sidney on a knife-point (Cotton Weary ends up saving Sidney by shooting Nancy in the neck) (Scream 2)
6. Gale falls into a basement along with Ghostface (Roman) who was knocked-out temporarily. (Scream 3)
7. Ghostface (Roman) throws his knife at Dewey into his head, but the handle hits him instead and knocks him out. (Scream 3)
8. Ghostface (Roman) ties Gale and Dewey together to hold them as hostage to lure Sidney when he could've just killed them. (Scream 3)
9. Roman strangles Sidney to death but stops when Dewey turns down the electricity of the house, he also shot her with a gun (but she wore a bullet-proof vest) and could've shot her in the head. (Scream 3)
10. Ghostface (Charlie) managed to stab Gale at a "Stab-a-Thon" in the shoulder, but he escaped, when Dewey fired his gun. In the climax, Jill also held Gale at a gun-point and was going to shoot her. (Scream 4)
11. Jill threatens to blow Dewey's head off with his gun. (Scream 4)
12. Jill could've stabbed Sidney even more in Kirby's house, but she was probably in a hurry as she was aware that the police were coming. (Scream 4)
13. In Scream (2022), Ghostface (Amber) finally managed to kill one of the legacy characters (Dewey) by cutting up his back, stomach and chest.
14. Amber firstly shot Gale in the chest with gun, and later during her fight with Gale, is close to stab her. (Scream 2022)
15. Amber stabbed Sidney in the stomach and was fighting her in the kitchen. (Scream 2022)
16. As Sidney wasn't in Scream VI, Gale was the only legacy character (from the beginning) to appear in sixth film. In the movie, she was stabbed multiple times in her apartment by Ghostface (Quinn) and barely survives.

• In Scream 4, it is revealed that Jill Roberts and Charlie Walker are the killers, they planned this to "remake" the franchise:

1. Jenny Randall and Marnie Cooper represent Casey Becker and Steve Orth (killed first simultaneously after one receives a call from Ghostface. A deleted scene shows that they were hung and tied to a chair like Casey and Steve).
2. Kate Roberts represents her sister, Maureen Prescott. Both are the mothers of the "protagonist".
3. Trevor Sheldon represents Neil Prescott. Both were kidnapped, bound and gagged, and would-be framed for the murder spree.
4. Jill and Charlie's plan to make their innocence in the killing spree more solid by stabbing each other, is just like Billy and Stu's plan in the first movie.
5. Jill stabbing Charlie to death on purpose, is a reference to Scream 2 when Nancy betrays her accomplice Mickey.

• Mickey Altieri, Roman Bridger, Jill Roberts, Ethan Landry and Quinn Bailey are the only killers to reveal themselves while they are still in the Ghostface costume.
