Ghostface is revealed as Sidney's half-brother, film director Roman Bridger (Scott Foley), born to their mother Maureen during a two-year period when she moved to Hollywood to become an actress under the name Rina Reynolds.
Scream 3 is the only film in the franchise where only one identity is revealed as Ghostface: Roman Bridger played by Scott Foley. Roman is the main antagonist of the third installment and the fifth Ghostface murderer unmasked overall.
Ghostface was not a supernatural demon like Freddy Krueger or an unkillable bogeyman like Michael Myers — he was just a guy (or really, two guys) in a costume. Scream was a slasher, but it was also a whodunit.
Charlie may have been the least likely suspect, and that's exactly how he (almost) got away with it. However, Charlie was also one of the weakest of all the Ghostfaces. Not only was he killed almost immediately by his accomplice (more on her later), but each of his kills was sloppier than the last.
Billy was the stereotypical bad boy in the first Scream movie, something he took to a new level after he shockingly revealed himself as the Ghostface killer.
While Michael and Jason's look can vary a bit in the films, it's okay, because we still know who's underneath. With Scream, there's a different copycat killer under the Ghostface mask each time. The look has to stay the same, and stay scary each time, for the mask is the connective tissue that holds each film together.
The killers this time around are Detective Bailey (Dermot Mulroney), Ethan (Jack Champion) and Quinn (Liana Liberato). They're keeping killing in the family, as Detective Bailey is Ethan and Quinn's father. And guess who else he was the father of? Richie (Jack Quaid), one of the two Ghostfaces in Scream.
Sexologist Jess O'Reilly says that Ghostface's seduction methods probably play a big part in his appeal: “In the early movies, when he phones, his voice, and tone are a little playful – almost flirtatious like he's building up to something that will be both exciting and scary.”
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".
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.
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.
Although each Ghostface killer has died after their Scream massacre, such characters maintain significant impacts on the attacks' survivors, leading to a few Ghostfaces being brought back posthumously.
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.
(It was actually her bf Steve) Casey Becker was a student at Woodsboro High School and the first character appearing in Scream. She has the dubious honor of being the first on-screen victim of a Ghostface killer and being his second murder of the movie.
Roman's place as the strongest Ghostface is commonly acknowledged among the Scream fan base because of his intelligence and the fact that he had no partner in crime.
Ghostface Killah - In 1996, WuTang front man Ghostface Killah went to the doctor to get tested for an STD and to his surprise he was diagnosed with Type-I diabetes instead.
The reason that there's a Scream 7 at all is because of how well Scream 5 and 6 did. Scream 6, released earlier this year, became the highest-grossing movie in the series domestically.
Sam Will Be Ghostface In Scream 7 One thing the Scream franchise has never done is have a final girl as the Ghostface killer. However, Sam's story is different.
