Ghostface Mask from Wes Craven Horror Movie "scream"

The mysterious, original Scream mask of common serial killer is made of soft vinyl and has a sewn, black fabric hood. The original Scream mask is highlighted on the eyes with a black mesh around the own eyes to hide.

The design of the mask bears reference to Edvard Munch's painting The Scream, the film poster to Pink Floyd's The Wall, the ghostly characters that appeared in the 1930s Betty Boop cartoons, and Season 1 Scooby Doo Where Are You ghosts in the episode “A Night Of Fright Is No Delight”.

Seasonal novelty company Fun World legally owns the design and is credited for its creation, but for a group of talented, accomplished artists, there is a lot more to the story. FANGORIA spoke with these artists and learned the genesis of the pop culture icon known as “Ghostface.”

One of the most potent factors in mask terror is the concept of the uncanny valley. Masks that almost resemble a human face but have slight off-putting differences can create a sense of unease and terror. The closer a mask gets to looking human without actually being recognizable, the more unsettling it becomes.

The masked murderer, who later became known as Ghostface, made their first appearance in the inaugural slasher film. The first movie follows Sidney Prescott — who is played by Neve Campbell — as she and her high school friends become the targets of a serial killer in their fictional hometown of Woodsboro.

Scream: The TV Series

Ghostface is now referred to as The Lakewood Slasher, who dons a vacuum-formed plastic human-shaped mask which is painted with white coats, aging glazes, black airbrushing and clear coats.

Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) was Sidney's boyfriend for the first flick and is the original Ghostface. But by the third act of “Scream,” he reveals himself and pal Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard) to be the homicidal maniacs behind the mask.

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.

Ghostface, portrayed by Skeet Ulrich in Scream (1996), is 5 foot 10 inches (1.78 m) tall. Ghostface is the primary villain of the Scream series of movies and television.

Is Ghostface a girl? ›

Gender. Throughout the franchise, there has been a disproportionate and uneven ratio between male and female Ghostface killers. To date, there have been 9 male killers (8 in film, 1 in TV) and 5 female killers (4 in film, 1 in TV), with a total of 14 Ghostface killers.

The Gen 2 mask has a less curved right-eye, a creased mouth, and more pronounced cheeks. Ghostface also wears a secondary mask featuring squinty eyes and a larger mouth, called the EU MK stamped mask, also coined the RDS.

A domino mask is a small and (often) rounded mask covering only the area around the eyes and the space between them.

"Father Death" is the in-universe name for Ghostface's costume. Wes Craven had the characters in Scream mention the Ghostface costume is called "Father Death" not as a reference to the angel of death, but rather as a red herring, alluding to Neil, Sidney's father.
