Doofus "Doofy" Gilmore

"And mom told you to stop putting your dick in the vaccuum cleaner!"

- What Doofus does in his spare time

Doofus is the main antagonist of Scary Movie. He is the identity of Ghostface, a parody of the Scream villain. He is a parody of Deputy Riley in Scream and also a parody of Billy Loomis and Stu from the first Scream.

While not a major antagonist until the end, he can be considered an obnoxious jerk for always being irritating due to his false disability.

Throughout the film, he answers calls from Ghostface, a running gag as he himself is the killer.

In the film, two of Cindy's friends claim to be the real killer, intending to go gay and run off to Los Angeles afterward, but they stab themselves to death in a fight and then Ghostface comes in and finishes it off. This tells Cindy that they weren't the killer, and it prompts a reinvestigation. Finally, Cindy works out from clues (and that it was Doofus' sister who was killed) that it is Doofus. She goes all over the station looking for Doofus and she and a cop run out looking for Doofus. But he has got in a car with Gail Andrews the reporter, whom he spooked earlier, but now has a relationship with him. They drive off together leaving Cindy yelling in frustration before she is run over.

Doofus kills practically everyone in the film in spoofs of the Scream killings and does get away with it. He is seen at the end jerking off to a vacuum cleaner which he says is looking at him in an odd way.
