Villain Overview

Ryan Torres, better known as Skull Mask, is a major antagonist of the Fear Street trilogy. He was once a staff member of Shadyside Mall, until he was posessed by Satan and turned into one of the Shadyside Killers.

He then toys with Heather by luring her to her doom, which is unsuccessful. He then catches Heather by surprise and slits her stomach open, which drastically weakens her. Finally, he stabs Heather in the back, until he is shot by Sheriff Nick Goode, who was unfortunately too late to save Heather. He is also one of the Killers that goes after Samantha Fraser and her blood.

Trivia[]

  • Skull Mask is a mix of several classic slasher killers. In aspect, he is heavily inspired on Ghostface. His concept of stalking his victims as well as the setting being in Halloween is a nod to Michael Myers. Finally, his main skill being appearing near to his victims in the most unlikely places is a classic slasher trope popularized by Jason Voorhees.
    • Despite having many inspirations on the Scream franchise, the Skull Mask disguise made appearance in the original Fear Street books, specifically Halloween Night II. [1]
  • The scene where he is turned on fire by Kate was an actual stunt rather than CGI, as showed in behind-the-scenes footage.
  • A promotional picture with all the actors dressed up as the killers show a version of the mask that didn't make it into the final film. It is almost identical except that it has a frown expression.[2]
  • There is a small inconsistency in the number of victims at the Mall Massacre. Police reports in the opening credits reveal that there were eight victims at Nick Goode's arrival, while the killer was still at large. However, Nick says that there were only seven victims, with the eight one being Ryan himself.
