Ghostface costume

Ghostface

Scream (1996)

The lore

A prank-calling, horror-trivia-obsessed slasher who is never the same person twice: every film reveals a new killer (or two) under the robe.

The look

  • Black hooded robe
  • White mask
  • Prop knife

Behind the screams

The mask was spotted in a house during location scouting and Craven picked it over custom designs. Its melting face echoes Edvard Munch’s painting The Scream. Scream 7 opened to $63.6M in the US in February 2026, a franchise record.
