Ghostface

Ghostface is the name attributed to any of several different psychotic serial murderers featured in the Scream film franchise and television series. The character is classically characterized by wearing an eerie ghost mask with a black hood, a long black cape with tapered ends, as well as gloves and boots. Ghostface's preferred means of killing is stabbing people to death with a large knife. The individual wearing the Ghostface costume generally has their heart set on making life miserable for Sidney Prescott, but some of them are simply bad apples to start with, and have their own convoluted motivations behind committing acts of murder. Another trademark of Ghostface is that he or she would usually communicate via telephone calls in which they speak through a voice changer, thereby disguising their identity. In Scream: The Series, the killer also made use of smart phone texting.

The following is a list of serial killers who have donned the mask and garb of Ghostface. As there have been several such individuals each one is listed separately. In order to maintain an heir of mystery as to who which one is, their actual names are hidden.
