“ | 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.
Behind The Mask[]
In the Scream franchise, there are usually more than one Ghostface killer behind murders or attacks. Thus, questions often arise: Who killed who?. Who attacked who? or Who called who? This section is intended to explain to viewers who was behind the Ghostface mask when and to answer the questions posed earlier.
Scream (1996)[]
Action | Ghostface/Causer | Explanation | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Who killed Maureen Prescott? |
|
Billy and Stu committed the murder, as referenced in their dialogue. But it is unknown whether or not they wore the Ghostface costume. In the Stab 3 flashback set, Maureen's body is seen with a phone, suggesting she was at least called by them first. | |
|
|
Billy called Casey and he was the Ghostface at the front of the house. (see below for more evidence) | |
|
|
Billy and Stu were present because Ghostface is at both entrances. It is implied these two were killed because Casey dumped Stu for Steve. The Ghostface that gutted Steve was logically the Ghostface at the back entrance of the house who is Stu as that is where Steve's body has been placed. The Ghostface that is seen running around the house after a chair is thrown through the patio doors was the Ghostface in the back as Ghostface came from the back of the house (still Stu). Stu then runs to the front to open the door for Billy. After Casey was attacked in the window by Stu, she got caught by Billy. We know this is Billy who attacked Casey, because his M.O was stabbing his victims with one hand and chocking them, like he did with Sidney in the final scene. After being stabbed and chocked, Casey removes the mask of the Ghostface from the bushes and recognizes the face she sees, meaning that this is Billy, because he is Stu's best friend. Stu assisted Billy in gutting and hanging Casey from the tree due to how quickly this action was executed. | Kevin Williamson on Twitter said, that Stu is responsible for Casey's death. However, as explained alongside, this is not entirely true. It's possible that Stu dealt a fatal blow on Casey (off-screen), however, it is Billy who attacked Casey onscreen. |
|
|
Billy is seen with a phone and appears at the bedroom window too soon after Sidney locks herself in her bedroom. The Killer in the call showed great hatred for Maureen Prescott, which fits Billy. | |
|
|
Stu was the one, who attacked Sidney. For Billy to be Ghostface here he would have to have run downstairs, go outside to run around the perimeter of the house, ditched the Ghostface costume, and climbed into Sidney's second story window in a matter of seconds. This is further proven if one listens carefully as Ghostface chases, receives blows and is tripped by Sidney as he continuously grunts with his voice attributing to that of Stu. | |
|
|
Stu called to "prove" Billy was innocent since he was locked up at the time. | |
|
|
It was a prankster, because Ghostface didn't have knife. | |
|
|
This murder was Billy as his whereabouts were unknown at the time. Stu was seen with Sidney and Tatum outside the school, but left somewhere unknown. Even though Stu left somewhere, Billy had the better chance of killing Mr. Himbry. Even with this, we see Ghostface playing mind games with Himbry, which is also Billy's M.O. of the two (as he did so with Casey before then, and later with Tatum and Sidney). | |
|
|
It couldn't be a prankster, because Ghostface clearly wanted to know more about Sidney and Tatum. Evidence lays more on Billy. Billy was the one that attacked both of them and possibly wanted to know more about them. | |
|
|
Billy was behind the mask in this scene. Stu was the host of the party and he wouldn't be able to disappear for a few minutes as he would have been noticed. He only closed the garage door. It should also be noted that Billy arrives at the party right after Tatum's murder and gives Stu signs that he has killed Tatum. | |
|
|
Obviously Stu, because Billy is seen. | |
|
|
Ghostface in this scene is still the same person, who 'killed' Billy, which is Stu. | |
|
|
Stu, because Billy was still playing dead upstairs. We can also see Ghostface holding knife with two hands, which is Stu's M.O. | Skeet Ulrich is wearing the costume in this scene. |
|
|
It is the same Ghostface, who nearly killed Randy, which is Stu. | |
|
|
Billy, he hears Dewey yell, puts on the costume, goes downstairs and stabs him, chases Sidney. Stu was checking to see if Gale was dead and was around that area, not the house. That explains why Randy was blaming Stu for killing the people because he was stalking him since he was already outside when Gale hit him with a phone. | |
|
|
It is the same Ghostface, who attacked Dewey, which is Billy. | |
|
|
Billy shoots Randy without costume. | |
|
|
Billy and Stu kidnapped him in order for them to frame him, because they both wanted people to believe that Neil Prescott was the killer. It is possible, that Billy after Steven and Casey's murders didn't come alone to Sidney's house, but he came with Stu. When Billy distracted Sidney, Stu attacked and kidnapped Neil. | |
|
|
Billy is doing it without costume. | |
|
|
Sidney, we witness this. | |
|
|
Billy stabbed Stu so they can cover any trace of them being the killers. Then Stu stabbed Billy because Billy already stabbed Stu to cover any trace. Billy then stabs him again because Stu was blaming movies for creating psychos, but both are still alive. Later, Sidney stabs Billy with an umbrella, Stu emerges from the Kitchen and attacks Sidney. Sidney manages to get the upper hand, and drops a TV on Stu's head, which kills him. | |
|
|
Billy is doing it without costume. | |
|
|
Billy stabbed Stu because they wanted to cover any trace of them killing everyone. Billy is stabbed once by Stu because they wanted to try and cover any trace of them being the killer. Billy then stabbed Stu for blaming movies for making psychos, but both are still alive. While Billy is trying to find and kill Sidney, he gets distracted and Sidney stabs him in the chest with an umbrella twice. Billy then hits Randy and chokes Sidney. Sidney then pokes Billy hard where he got stabbed with the umbrella. Billy is about to stab Sidney, but is shot by Gale. Still alive, Billy scares Randy and Gale, but not Sidney, and is shot in the head by Sidney, killing him. |
Scream 2[]
Action | Ghostface/Causer | Explanation | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
|
|
Mickey kills Phil and takes his jacket to trick Maureen into thinking he's her boyfriend. She touches him and isn't suspicious, pointing at Mickey being Ghostface here. His body is similar enough to Phil's to fool her, while Nancy would be obvious. Mickey then takes the opportunity of the chaos in the theatre to stab Maureen to death and leave the scene. | |
|
|
Cory Gillis, we witness this. | |
|
|
We know there's two killers because when Cici's friend is talking to "Ted" on the phone there is a killer sneaking in behind Cici without a phone at the same time "Ted" is talking. Mickey didn't arrive at the party until the scene that followed the murder of Cici. However, Nancy was in front of the house after Cici was murdered. Mickey was likely the one who filmed and called Cici. The caller needed to know somethings about Cici like who's her boyfriend and know if her house has an alarm, pointing the caller being Mickey as they are in the same class. | |
|
|
When Ghostface jumps out of the closet, you can hear noises coming from him. However it couldn't be Nancy or Mickey's voice as they do not sound like that. This could only mean that it was Ghostface making those noises. Because Mickey was the one, who called Cici, Mickey was probably the Ghostface, who killed her. | |
|
|
Nancy, the call was personal for Sidney. | |
|
|
Nancy, because she told Gale she had a deadline after the scene where Cici was murdered. Nancy also wanted revenge on Sidney and Gale for killing her son, Billy. The killer was eager to attack Sidney during the attack, making the killer being Nancy. | |
|
|
It is still the same Ghostface, who attacked Sidney, which is Nancy. | |
|
|
This was Mickey because right after Ghostface came in front of Sidney, Ghostface immediately goes to the exit. Also Nancy seems to have little knowledge of the stage during the climax of the movie. Derek even told Sidney that he and Mickey swapped right after Ghostface scares Sidney giving Mickey a better chance of being Ghostface. The Ghostface seemed to know what to do in the play and how to scare Sidney, making the killer being Mickey as he goes to that school. | |
|
|
Ghostface, who called Randy, it's the same Ghostface, who killed Randy (look below). | Nancy had originally planned to call Gale instead of Randy. |
|
|
Nancy takes credit for taunting Randy on the phone and killing him. | |
|
|
Mickey, as he would have access to the college's computers and have a reason to be in the library, which Nancy would not. | |
|
|
Both were there. The one who pops up behind Gale and later attacks Dewey is Nancy, as just after Dewey was stabbed, the killer constantly waves the knife around while trying to barricade into the room so that he could kill Gale, which is more like Nancy. Nancy also said that she wanted revenge of her son's death. The one recording the murders and filming Gale and Dewey was Mickey because there is already another killer behind Gale, which is Nancy, because you can hear a woman's grunt when Ghostface failed to stab Gale. Ghostface seemed to have about the same height as Gale, but Nancy is shorter than Mickey. Nancy is about the same height as Gale but Mickey is taller than both of them. Meaning the killer to be Nancy. | |
|
|
Gale's locked in the room and Mickey and Nancy can't get to her, and they know Sidney is leaving town, so Nancy sends Mickey like a good boy to go stop her. No way in hell Mrs. Loomis would risk going up against two armed cops. Also, when Mickey reveals himself as one of the killers, you see a large cut on his forehead which indicates that he was the one driving the cop car and then crashing it, killing Officer Richards, and knocking himself unconscious. | |
|
|
During the movie, Ghostface/Nancy attacks and slashed Derek's arm, damaging him severely. Mickey shoots him in the chest after revealing he is one of the killers. | |
|
|
Nancy is doing it without costume, she betrays her accomplice. | |
|
|
Mickey is doing it without costume. | |
|
|
Nancy is about to kill Sidney, but Cotton comes up in front of them with a gun. Nancy tries to convince Cotton to kill Sidney, but it failed and he shoots Nancy in the throat. Sidney later shoots Nancy in the head just in case if she was still alive. | |
|
|
Nancy betrays and shoots Mickey in the chest a few times, gravely wounding him. Later and still alive, Sidney and Gale shoot him in the chest several times leading to his death. |
Scream 3[]

Roman is revealed to be sole killer. | |
Who did all the attacks? |
|
Roman is revealed to be sole killer. | |
Who killed everyone? |
|
Roman is revealed to be sole killer. | Roman's victims:
|
|
|
While Roman is attacking Sidney, she grabs an icepick and stabs him in the back a few times, and once in the heart. Not dead, he runs up to Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, but Dewey shoots him in the chest several times. Since he is wearing a bullet proof vest, Sidney tells Dewey to shoot Roman in the head, which kills him. |
Scream 4[]
Action | Ghostface/Causer | Explanation | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
|
|
Both killers were present. Charlie was the one, who killed Marnie, because his M.O was stabbing his victim multiple times as Jill stabbed once. | |
|
|
After Charlie killed Marnie, he took the body and when Jill started talking on the phone with Jenny, both of them threw Marnie's body throught the window. This call was also personal. | |
|
|
Jill chased Jenny and killed her by crushing her back with a garage door and then stabbing her while Charlie went to the garage door from outside the house and filmed Jenny's murder. The reason for Jill killing Jenny was because she was the girl Trevor cheated with. Jill also wanted everything to do with the first kills since they were meant as a signal to everyone that Ghostface is back. | |
|
|
Charlie, because Jill cannot call herself. | |
|
|
Most evidence points towards Charlie. As Jill was with Kirby and Olivia since she left her house, the same day Sidney and Rebecca arrived at Woodsboro, while Charlie's whereabouts are not established until the beginning of school. It is more likely that Charlie planted the blood, Out of the Darkness novels and Ghostface merchandise in Sidney's car boot while no-one was around because Jill would probably still be with Kirby and Olivia at the time. | |
|
|
Charlie, because Jill cannot call herself #2. | |
|
|
Logically, Charlie kills her while Jill is next door with Kirby. Charlie also states during the climax of the film that he has great footage of his Olivia kill. Kirby's caller from Trevor's phone is also obviously Charlie as Jill is with Kirby when she receives the phone call, and maybe also to distract Olivia from the sound of Charlie talking inside her closet. Jill's prank call to Olivia before Kirby's call was probably a signal to Charlie to begin his phone call to Kirby. | |
|
|
Jill was on her way to Olivia's house. If she had called, someone would have heard and noticed her. Besides, Charlie might have hid in a good place to call Sidney. | |
|
|
Jill is playing victim, while Charlie is attacking in the costume. | |
|
|
Jill was the one who made the calls to Rebecca as Ghostface sounded more aggresive on the phone, which fits Jill. However, Jill was most likely only the caller, since she was in the hospital and sneaking out from the hospital was almost impossible for her, which would make Charlie being Rebecca's killer. | |
|
|
Charlie attacked Gale while Jill watched on her computer from home. Jill had no way to get to the Stab-a-thon and back without being noticed by somebody. Gale sees a webcam in the haystack and it moves to focus on her. This is Jill operating it from home and how knows she and Gale have the matching "shoulder wounds" she mentioned to Dewey at the hospital. Some fans believe that Jill is the one who actually attacked Gale, but Charlie may have just told Jill about it. | |
|
|
Both Ghostfaces were involved as Jill stabbed them to death after she left the house, (Hoss in the back and Perkins on his forehead) while Charlie drove the car two blocks away and then stabbed the corpses of Hoss and Perkins several more times just to make sure that they're dead. During the climax of the film, Charlie hands Jill a gun stating "the cops would've wanted you to have this, for your protection", which he probably gathered from the police car after driving the car two blocks away. During the climax, when Charlie is mentioning all of the footage he has of his kills, he does not mention Hoss or Perkins, which further implies that Jill was the Ghostface that attacked and stabbed Hoss and Perkins for the first time. | Since you can survive a stab in the back, then Charlie is most likely Hoss' fatal killer. |
|
|
Jill is the one who made the call because the caller told Sidney to put on the TV so she could see report about Gale's attack. Charlie was in the car on the way to Jill's house after attacking Gale and he had no idea that the attack was already on the news. | |
|
|
Both Ghostfaces are present as one is at the backdoor and one is at the front door, but the Ghostface responsible for Kate's death was Jill, as Charlie states during the climax of the film that he scared Sidney and Kate from the backdoor of the house, and Kate was stabbed at the front of the house. Jill also states that "it's a shame my mother had to die". Jill wanted to be the sole survivor so she wanted to kill people close to Sidney. | |
|
|
Jill subdued Trevor somehow (more than likely by seducing him) and tied him up. It's unknown when he was brought downstairs as neither killers really had the time for that. | |
|
|
Charlie, he confessed to Jill and Sidney for killng him outside Kirby's house. Charlie also admits later that he has great footage of his Robbie kill. | |
|
|
Charlie is the killer here as Jill is seen. | |
|
|
Still Charlie, because Sidney told Jill to hide under the bed while she was covering her escape out to the balcony. | |
|
|
Jill is the Ghostface here as Charlie is seen. | |
|
|
Jill is the caller here as Charlie is seen. | |
|
|
Jill calls her while Charlie is tied up. After Charlie is freed by Kirby, he stabs her, revealing he is one of the killers. | Kirby turned out to be alive in Scream (2022) easter egg. |
|
|
Charlie holds a knife at her throat but she gets away, only to be stabbed by "Ghostface" who then takes off the mask and it's revealed that the killer is Jill. | |
|
|
Jill shoots him in the groin and forehead while he is tied up on the floor with duct tape. | |
|
|
Jill betrays him and stabs him in the heart and stomach. | |
|
|
Jill is doing it without costume. | |
|
|
She is doing it herself, to look like a victim. | |
|
|
Jill is doing it without costume. | |
|
|
As Jill is about to shoot Gale, Sidney comes from behind her and electrocutes her head with defibrillator paddles. Still alive, Jill tries stabbing Sidney with a glass shard but Sidney knows killers always come back to life for "one last scare" and shoots Jill in the heart. |

Beth was present when Avery was killed. Besides, Jamal confessed to Marcus for killing Avery. | S03E01 |
|
|
Beth was present with the rest of The Deadfast Club and couldn't have send the message, because she would be caught. | S03E01 |
|
|
The style of talking to the victim definitely suits Beth more because Ghostface is talking about "hypocrites". | S03E02 |
|
|
Jamal lives close to Kym and Latavious's and had a better chance of killing him. | S03E02 |
|
|
Beth was present with the rest of the group, when Ghostface spoke on the microphone. | S03E02 |
|

Beth was with Amir when the attack occured. | S03E02 |

For evidence, see below. | S03E02 |
|
|
Beth confessed to Liv for targeting and killing Shane. | S03E02 |
|

Jamal was last seen driving away from his apartment and he wasn't seen with a phone. This Ghostface also admitted that they killed Shane, and we know it was Beth. | S03E03 |
|
|
Liv confessed to The Deadfast Club that she did it, because she didn't want the rest of the group following her and Marcus. | S03E03 |

We witness this. | S03E03 |
|
|
Jamal confessed to Marcus for killing Luther. | |
|
|
Beth confessed to Liv for killing Manny. | S03E03 |
|
|
It was Beth, since Jamal had little interest in leaving Kym notes and being the person to stalk her. | S03E04 |
|
|
Amir confessed to Beth for this text, because he wanted to make him and Beth safe. | S03E04 |
|
|
Jamal confessed to Marcus for the Bear Park attack. | S03E04 |
|
|
Message like that would fit Beth, but she couldn't have sent it, because she was with Amir. | S03E04 |
|
|
It was Jamal, while Beth was playing victim. After he had managed to separate Amir and Beth as planned, he left Beth's house. | S03E04 |
|
|
Beth confessed to Liv for killing Amir. | S03E04 |
|
|
Beth was just after murdering Amir, while Jamal was leaving the house. Jamal specifically gave Marcus an unloaded gun so he wouldn't be able to shoot him. | S03E04 |
|
|
It was Beth's M.O to burn her victims. Besides, Jamal no longer had any interest in taunting anyone other than Marcus. | S03E05 |
|
|
It is the same Ghostface, who killed Westbrook, which is Beth. | S03E05 |
|
|
Obviously Beth, because Jamal cannot call himself. | S03E05 |
|
|
No need to explain. | S03E05/S03E06 |
|
|
Jamal was injured and was held by Beth the entire time until Marcus came to rescue him, however, in vain. All the work as Ghostface was done by Beth in this episode. | S03E06 |

We witness this. | S03E06 |
Scream (2022)[]
Action | Ghostface/Causer | Explanation | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
|
|
Richie made the phone calls and recorded the video of Amber with a view of his knife to scare Tara, while Amber was getting ready to attack Tara. | |
|
|
This was Amber with Richie on the phone. Amber also seemingly confirms this later in the hospital attacks when she says that she'll hit all the organs she missed last time. Richie was in Modesto, a city far from Woodsboro during the attack. | |
|
|
This is ambiguous, but Amber is the one who killed Vince. Amber was already at the bar with the rest of the teenagers and she could easily eluded her friends, while Richie was at the hospital with Sam and Tara. Even Richie's single stab MO doesn't matter here, because Richie would rather not leave the hospital and then return there only to kill Vince, because Sam would have noticed him not being present and be suspicious over him. | |
|
|
Amber did the phone call. If Richie called her, she would have heard him. | |
|
|
Richie attacked Sam as Amber was at the Sheriff's Department having been questioned by Sheriff Hicks around the time Sam was attacked. | |
|
|
Quote: ''Ever seen movie Psycho?'' reveals Amber, because in the later scene of the movie Amber imitates the noises from the shower stabbing sequence in Psycho. | |
|
|
Both killers were there. Amber killed Judy, because Ghostface used Amber's M.O (stabbing multiple times). and then went to the hospital, stealing a bulletproof vest from Judy's car. | |
|
|
After Amber went to the hospital, Richie stayed behind to finish off Wes, because he was stronger than Amber and he had the better chance to overpower him. Ghostface also used Richie's M.O: quick and clean kill in the neck. | |
|
*Amber Freeman | In the hospital, all the work was done by Amber, while Richie was playing victim. | |
|
|
Same reason as above. | |
*Who killed Dewey? | *Amber Freeman | Same reason as above. | |
|
|
This was Amber as Richie was driving to 261 Turner Lane with Tara and Samantha and arrived just as Ghostface finished his attack on Chad. | |
*Who attacked Mindy? | *Richie Kirsch | This was Richie, as Amber was upstairs with Tara getting her inhaler and Richie had excused himself to the Basement where he likely changed into the Ghostface costume and then came back upstairs to attack her. | Jack Quaid is wearing costume in this scene. |
|
|
Amber is doing it without her costume. | |

You can hear Richie's voice, when he says ''Wait!''. | |
*Who attacked Sidney? |
|
Sidney is talking to Richie, when attack was occurred. | |
|
|
Richie is doing it without his costume. | |
|
*Samantha Carpenter | Samantha killed Richie by stabbing him countless times, slitting his throat and shooting him in the head. | |
|
|
Sidney, Gale and Tara all took part in Amber's murder. Sidney doused Amber in hand sanitizer as Gale shot Amber forcing her onto the stove and setting her alight due to the hand sanitizer they threw over her. Tara then shot Amber through the head as she came running out of the kitchen. |
Scream VI[]
Action | Ghostface/Causer | Explanation | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Who killed Mrs. Kirsch? |
|
It is a death revealed in deleted scene and it happened before the events of the film. Wayne forced Ethan to help him murder their mother after she refused to assist with their plans to get revenge against Sam. | Non-canon death. |
|
|
Ghostface, who calls Laura, is the same Ghostface who later kills her (for evidence see below). | |
|
|
This was Jason Carvey, as he unmasks himself after killing her. | |
|
|
Wayne and Quinn were involved in this action, but not Ethan, as he was at a frat party with Chad, Mindy, Tara, and Anika at the time. When Quinn was left alone in her apartment (after Sam left for Dr. Stone), she presumably stole Sam's ID and delivered it to Jason and Greg's apartment, where Wayne killed Greg at the time. Wayne is Greg's killer because it's hard to imagine Quinn killing and later dismembering Greg like that, her father would be more capable of that.
Wayne gave Greg's phone to Quinn, who returned to her apartment where she called Jason and watched him through the cameras. Quinn had to call Jason because if Wayne had called, Jason would have heard him. As Quinn led Jason to Greg's corpse in the fridge, Wayne jumped out and murdered Jason saying to Jason: "Who gives a f-ck about movies?!". This quote fits Wayne very well, because at the climax, Wayne expressed his unflattering opinion about the movies: "I maybe overindulged Richie's love that these little movies had, maybe. For me, they're just a little dark, but... Richie really loved them.." |
|
|
|
It's Wayne, for these reasons: Ghostface in this conversation takes credit for killing Greg and Jason, and we know it was Wayne, and also, what Ghostface says to Sam on the phone, is very similar to what Wayne says after revealing himself as Ghostface. | |
Who did the Bodega Attack? |
|
This one is debatable, because it could be either Wayne or Ethan.
What goes for Wayne is that, that Ethan and Quinn were in the apartment at the time of the attack and had no way to sneak out. On top of that, Ghostface in the bodega showed great shotgun skills, which would suit Wayne since he was a cop. However, we can't exclude Ethan from this attack either. What goes for Ethan is the thing, that Wayne was at the crime scene in Jason and Greg's apartment. He first calls Sam (at 9:57-9:58 p.m.) from there and lures her to come down the station, and after Sam and Tara escaped from the Bodega, Wayne was already present at the police station. For Wayne, it would be problematic to move from place to place so quickly, as well as to hide the costume. Later in the movie, when Kirby and Wayne are tracking the timeline of Ghostface, on the Ghostface's timeline board it is shown that the Bodega attack occured on 10:03 p.m., meaning that: Wayne would have to leave Jason and Greg's apartment in less than 5 minutes (in addition, put on the costume somewhere unnoticed) and later after the attack get faster to the police station before Sam and Tara, and in addition hide the costume somewhere. That would leave Ethan and Quinn among the remaining possible killers in this scene. Of Wayne's children, Ethan would be the Ghostface attacking the Bodega. When Ghostface is pushed onto the bikes by Sam and Tara, he grunts in a voice similar to Ethan's, and a moment later he says "Shit!", which also sounds like Ethan. What remains unclear, is how Ethan sneaked out from the apartment and how to learned to use a shotgun. However, it can be inferred that Wayne taught him using a shotgun, and Quinn somehow covered up Ethan from the rest of the group. |
Jack Champion (Ethan's actor) stated in an interview, that he thinks that Ethan did the Bodega attack. However, directors said, that they think it's Wayne.
Bodega Victims:
|
|
|
Every Ghostface actually had the ability to kill Dr. Stone. Despite that, the most evidence points to Wayne, because it was him, who Samantha told and gave details about Stone, such as where he lived. | |
|
|
It obviously couldn't be Quinn because she was seen faking her death. Quinn is also seen talking to her father on the phone before the attack, which also excludes Wayne from being Ghostface here. All in all, Ethan is the Ghostface here. This can be deduced from the way he slices Mindy's arm (just like he did twice with Sam during the revelations), and stabs, then rips open Anika's stomach. Wayne had a different way of stabbing his victims, like he did with Jason. Even though Ethan had an alibi that he was in Econ Class the whole time, it is probably false, as it is likely that he left class earlier than the other students. | 1) Jack Champion is wearing a costume in the opening part of the scene.
|
|
|
This was Quinn, who was hiding in Gale's penthouse to lure them there, as Wayne was in the park with Sam and Tara and Ethan was in the police van with Kirby, Chad and Mindy. | |
|
|
Quinn admitted in the climax, that she was the one who targeted and attacked Gale, which also makes her the Ghostface who kills Brooks, Gale's boyfriend, as well as the Ghostface who was calling Gale. | |
|
|
Quinn admitted in the climax, that she attacked Mindy on the subway. | |
|
|
Quinn is the first Ghostface to attack here. because she was the first of the killers to be in the shrine as Ethan pretended to help Mindy by taking her to the hospital. | |
|
|
After Quinn lay injured and as Chad was about to knock her out, Ethan showed up just in time and stabbed Chad, which later resulted in Ethan and Quinn stabbing Chad multiple times, supposedly to death. | |
|
|
This was both Quinn and Ethan as Kirby confirmed that "they" both attacked her and Quinn and Ethan were the two masked Ghostface's in the theatre. | |
|
|
Wayne is doing it without costume. | |

[pulls off Maureen's bag and reveals that this is Ghostface] [Sidney tries to run away, but Roman locks all the doors] Roman/Ghostface: You're not going anywhere, Sidney. It's time you came to terms with me and with Mother. Maybe you never knew her at all, Sidney. Maybe you just can't get past the surface of things. I'm the other half of you. I searched for a mother too, an actress named Rina Reynolds, I tried to find her my whole life. And four years ago, I actually tracked her down, knocked at her door, thinking she'd welcome me with open arms, but she had a new life and a new name: Maureen Prescott. You were the only child she claimed, Sidney. She shut me out in the cold forever. Her own son.

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?! |

Scream (2022)[]
Tara's phone calls[]
“ | Richie/Ghostface: Hello. Is Christina there? Tara: No, she's not available. May I take a message? |
„ |
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: 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! |

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]. |

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! |

Jason: Dude... 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.

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-? |

Wayne's phone call[]
“ | Sam/Ghostface: Hello, Detective Bailey. I have got one question for you. Wayne: Oh yeah? What's that? Ghostface: What's your favorite scary movie? Wayne: [chuckles] "Favorite scary movie..." 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. |

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:
- Billy Loomis (shot in the head by Sidney) - Scream (1996)
- Mickey Altieri (shot in the chest by Sidney and Gale) - Scream 2
- Roman Bridger (shot in the head by Dewey) - Scream 3
- Jill Roberts (shot in the chest by Sidney) - Scream 4
- Amber Freeman (shot in the head by Tara) - Scream (2022)
- Ethan Landry (TV thrown on his head by Kirby) - Scream VI
- 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:
- Tatum Riley (garage door) - Scream (1996)
- Officer Richards (metal pole) - Scream 2
- Derek Feldman (shot) - Scream 2
- Tom Prinze (blown up) - Scream 3
- Trevor Sheldon (shot) - Scream 4
- 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:
- 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)
- Ghostface (Billy) also stabbed Dewey in the back but he survived. (Scream)
- Ghostface (Nancy) brutally stabs Dewey in the back thrice, but he survives once again. (Scream 2)
- 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)
- 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)
- Gale falls into a basement along with Ghostface (Roman) who was knocked-out temporarily. (Scream 3)
- Ghostface (Roman) throws his knife at Dewey into his head, but the handle hits him instead and knocks him out. (Scream 3)
- Ghostface (Roman) ties Gale and Dewey together to hold them as hostage to lure Sidney when he could've just killed them. (Scream 3)
- 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)
- 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)
- Jill threatens to blow Dewey's head off with his gun. (Scream 4)
- 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)
- In Scream (2022), Ghostface (Amber) finally managed to kill one of the legacy characters (Dewey) by cutting up his back, stomach and chest.
- Amber firstly shot Gale in the chest with gun, and later during her fight with Gale, is close to stab her. (Scream 2022)
- Amber stabbed Sidney in the stomach and was fighting her in the kitchen. (Scream 2022)
- 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:
- 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).
- Kate Roberts represents her sister, Maureen Prescott. Both are the mothers of the "protagonist".
- Trevor Sheldon represents Neil Prescott. Both were kidnapped, bound and gagged, and would-be framed for the murder spree.
- 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.
- 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.
