Ghostface, also called The Lakewood Slasher, is an identity adopted by the main antagonists of Scream: The TV Series. It is the television adaptation of the original character who stalks and kills the teenagers of the small town of Lakewood. The TV Series was created by Jill E. Blotevogel. Regardless to the identity under the costume, The Lakewood Slasher was voiced by Mike Vaughn in Seasons 1 and 2, and by Roger L. Jackson in season 3 (who voiced Ghostface in all five Scream movies).
In the first season finale, it is revealed that Ghostface, nicknamed the Lakewood Slasher, is actually Piper Shaw, who is Brandon James' daughter. In Season 2, her accomplice takes over the mantle of Ghostface, and he is later revealed to be her secret boyfriend Kieran Wilcox. In Season 3, the new killers are revealed to be Beth and Jamal Elliot.
During In-costume scenes they were portrayed by Stanton Barrett in Season 1 and Alex Rayme in Season 2, who both also played Kieran Wilcox and Ghostface, as well as Alec Rayme playing Tenko in Into the Badlands. Their in-costume scenes were portrayed by William Scharpf in Season 3.

Abilities and Attributes[]
The Lakewood Slasher is human, but still has many deadly skills just like their movie counterpart Ghostface. The Lakewood Slasher is very skilled in Stealth. As Seen in in Hello, Emma, They are able to sneak up behind, Rachel Murray completely undetected and wrap a noose around her neck and push her to her death. Also, in The Dance when Sheriff Clark Hudson goes to a house to find the killer, he is attacked from behind. They were also able to go undetected on a school campus on two occasions, One during a normal school day on a lockdown with several deputies on campus and the other after school during the midafternoon. During the lockdown, they are able to move the body of Jake Fitzgearld into the school auditorium and cause it to fall on Brooke Maddox. During the second occasion, they are able to attack both Kristen Lang and Seth Branson without anybody witnessing either being attacked. In Halloween, just before Killing Kieran Wilcox, The Lakewood Slasher is able to sneak up on a Prison guard and kill him after hiding in the air vents. Even During Parties with dozens of people around, they can go undetected and kill as seen in Revelations, they are able to kill Grayson at Brooke Maddox's party and In The Orphanage, Haley Meyers was killed at her own party. They are able to break into homes undetected even ones with advanced security systems like Nina Patterson's house. They were able to build a lair in the abandoned hospital in aftermath with photos of Emma Duval, Riley Marra and other victims of the original Lakewood Slasher as well as a headless pig and the severed head of Tyler O'Neill. They did this without anybody ever knowing they were there, but when Emma, Noah Foster and Audrey Jensen went to investigate, Sheriff Hudson and his deputies arrived on scene saying they got a tip that there was a break in at the abandoned hospital.
The Lakewood Slasher seems to have some degree of strength as they are able to successfully kill Sheriff Hudson and several deputies as well as being able to twist the neck of a security guard. In When a Stranger Calls , they are on the road, which causes Deputy Stevens to crash his car. Stevens then attempts to fight the Lakewood Slasher and is even able to fire a couple shots from his gun, only to be killed. In Revelations, The Lakewood Slasher (reveled to be Piper Shaw) was able to attack and tie up Seth Branson in a car, in an attempt to frame him for all the killings after he had escaped custody when Piper killed Deputy Roberts. Ghostface (Jamal Elliot) was able to overpower Luther Thompson, a much larger man and able to kill him with a car crusher.
In addition to stealth, The Lakewood Slasher is great at evasion. As seen many times they can attack or kill their victims and disappear even with multiple deputies on the scene or large crowds. When they first Attack Brooke Maddox in the auditorium, Sheriff Hudson and several of his deputies arrive on the scene, only to arrest Seth Branson with no sign of The Lakewood Slasher. When Emma Duval and her friends are attacked at the bowling alley, several deputies are on the scene and the Lakewood Slasher vanished. After Killing Haley Meyers at her party with dozens of people around, they are able to disappear.
The Lakewood Slasher is great at luring their victims just before attacking or even killing them. Jake Fitzgearld gets a message from who he thinks is Brooke Maddox wanting to meet him in a barn house and steps on a bear trap, before eventually being killed. After a failed attempt by the Sheriff's department to find Tyler O' Neill and take him into custody (Unknown to them that he was already murdered), The Lakewood slasher is able to lure Riley Marra on the roof of the Sheriff's Station and kill her, after she had been left alone at the station.
The Lakewood Slasher is shown to be good at setting traps as they are able to place a bear trap for Jake Fitzgearld to step on and are able to hang Rachel Murray with a noose. Also, they set a trip wire for Emma Duval to step on which causes Will Belmont to be sliced in half. The Lakewood Slasher leaves Sheriff Hudson for Maggie and Emma Duval to find tied up, Maggie attempted to free him only for his organs to fall out, not knowing, that his stomach had already been cut open and the rope was all that was holding his organs together.
The Lakewood Slasher seems to know how to work Machinery as seen with Will Belmont's death.
The Lakewood Slasher is great at manipulation. They are able to trick Emma Duval into choosing between one of her best friends, Brooke Maddox or Riley Marra to spare, only for Riley to be killed. They do that again after calling her, pretending to be her boyfriend, Will Belmont and tells her to meet at Will's house. Once she arrives, she sees Will tied up and goes to help him, only for her to step on a trip wire leading to Will's death. When Emma and her Friends find the body of their Friend, Zoe Vaughn, inside a coffin in Wren Lake after thinking they heard her voice pleading for help, only to learn they are old recordings and Zoe had long been dead before they found her.
Just like Ghostface, The Lakewood Slasher has been able to survive fatal attacks. After her reveal, Piper Shaw had been shot in the chest by Audrey Jensen, but was able to get back up, only to be shot again, this time in the head, killing her for good. Prior to her reveal, Piper herself had been attacked by the Lakewood Slasher (Her accomplice Kieran Wilcox) and fell onto a cement block, which only left a bruise on her.
