Ghostface

Описание: Ghostface is the iconic masked killer from the Scream horror film franchise, created by Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson. Unlike many horror villains, Ghostface isn’t a single person — it’s an identity adopted by various killers throughout the series. The mask, inspired by Edvard Munch’s painting The Scream, and the haunting voice that taunts victims over the phone, make Ghostface one of the most recognizable figures in horror history.

Here’s a full breakdown:
