Ghostface first appears in the opening scene of Scream (1996). The character, voiced by Roger L. Jackson, calls and taunts teenager Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) with horror clichés and trivia questions, eventually murdering her boyfriend Steve Orth (Kevin Patrick Walls) and then her.
1996's Scream, notoriously known as one of the bloodiest films of all time, features two killers: Billy Loomis played by Skeet Ulrich and Stu Macher played by Matthew Lillard. Billy is regarded as the original Ghostface, followed by Stu who is revealed as the second.
Doofy Gilmore, also known as Ghostface or The Killer, is the main antagonist of the 2000 parody comedy film Scary Movie. He is a local young man in Stevenson County, California who feigned mental retardation and dresses up as a nefarious serial killer similar to the Ghostface killer from Scream.
At the end of the movie, when Cindy finds out he is the killer, he is tearing off his disguise and ends up getting away. He also is portrayed to have a sexual relationship with his vacuum cleaner.
* Scream: Most of the plot is a Scream parody. The main characters mirror Scream's and the film centers on figuring out who's killing people while wearing a Ghostface mask.
The Scream franchise, with its six films and a TV series, has been a favorite among horror enthusiasts. Directed by Wes Craven, Tyler Gillett, and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, these films revolve around a mysterious killer known as Ghostface, who terrorizes unsuspecting victims.
In Scream 4, on the anniversary of Billy and Stu's murder spree, a new Ghostface emerges, revealed to be Sidney's cousin Jill Roberts and her friend Charlie Walker.
This means there are three Ghostface killers in Scary Movie, with Doofy committing the opening murder, while Bobby and Ray kill the bulk of the other victims. Doofy then dons the costume again in the finale to kill Bobby and Ray and tries to kill Cindy because he had a crush on her too.
Detective Bailey, Quinn Bailey, and Ethan Landry were revealed as the killers at the end of Scream 6. Their motive was revenge for Detective Bailey's son's death.
There are six films in the Scream franchise so far with but 13 Ghostface killers altogether. Aside from Scream 3, each entry had two killers that worked together to terrorize Sidney and murder everyone around her. As such, it can be messy trying to figure out who kills who in each film.
For starters, he is the only Ghostface to have worked alone. Not only is every kill in Scream 3 his handiwork, but Roman is kind of in the first movie, as he takes credit for mentoring Billy and Stu and grooming them into the young serial killers they were.
The new Tubi documentary "Lights, Camera, Murder: Scream" combines Hollywood history with true crime intrigue, as it shines a light on the story of the Gainesville Ripper, a.k.a. Louisiana-born Danny Rolling — a real-life serial rapist and murderer who inspired "Scream" screenwriter Kevin Williamson to create his ...
While this slasher sequel is bogged down by complicated lore and is far more brutal than it is actually scary, the strong characters and an effective mystery come together to make it a cut above. Fans of the franchise will likely want to rewatch the previous five movies before tackling.
Scary Movie 4's parodies are of the Saw films, The Village, The Grudge, and War of the Worlds, as well as Million Dollar Baby and Brokeback Mountain. Scary Movie 5's central areas of satire are the Paranormal Activity films, Mama, Black Swan, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Where the original film was mainly based on the slasher films of the 1990s, Scary Movie 2 parodies an array of supernatural and haunted house films from various decades, namely The Haunting (1999), Stigmata (1999), The Exorcist (1973), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), The Amityville Horror (1979), Poltergeist ( ...
Scream 7 is officially happening, but fans have been stunned by two unexpected exits from the new movie. Both Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who played sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter in Scream (2022) and Scream VI, won't be returning for the new movie.
Scream 3 reveals shocking secrets about Sidney's family, including that the real mastermind behind her mother's murder was her half-brother, Roman Bridger. Roman orchestrated the roles of Billy, Stu, and Cotton in Maureen's murder, using footage of Maureen's affairs to manipulate Billy into killing her.
The Ghostfaces of Scream VI were Ethan (Jack Champion) and the presumed-dead Quinn (Liana Liberato), who had orchestrated all of the killings with the help of Detective Wayne Bailey (Dermot Mulroney), who was secretly their father, as well as the father of Richie (Jack Quaid), the killer from the previous movie.
Ghostface is revealed in the finale as both Billy and Stu, who reveal that they murdered Sidney's mother and framed Cotton. Billy cites his motivation as abandonment by his mother, brought about by his father's affair with Maureen, while Stu cites "peer pressure".
Most of the time, Ghostface isn't acting alone. In fact, in the first five films, there's only a single killer once. Yet even when Ghostface is a duo, there's typically a dominant Ghostie and someone who takes on a more expendable sidekick role.
