User:Scream-S Face

Ghostface is the main villain of the Scream series.

Ghostface was named after a rubber Halloween mask inspired by the Edvard Munch painting The Scream. He has also been called the Woodsboro Killer, after the town where the Ghostface costume was first used to commit murders.

Ghostface often called his victims on the phone, taunting or threatening them before stabbing them to death with an eight inch hunting knife. He occasionally asked his victims horror movie trivia, and stalked them in a manner reminiscent of said films.

Abilities and Attributes
Unlike supernatural killers, such as Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger, Ghostface is human, but has several skills of a deadly killer. Ghostface is skilled in spying and stealth, allowing him to hide in unexpected places. Also, he exhibits extreme durability against physical harm and has high levels of physical strength.

Ghostface seems to display a heightened awareness. He is often able to know where his victims are located before a physical attack, where they are hiding, and/or to where they will attempt to escape. As seen in Scream 2, he was able to tell if, when, and where his victim would place his head against a bathroom stall dividing wall (enabling Ghostface to stab the target in the head from the next stall over).

Ghostface is strong enough to lift a person and to stun his victims with punches. He can endure several damages like having a beer bottle thrown on his face and surviving some stab or bullet wounds. Ghostface is very skillful in wielding his knife, and has enough strength to puncture through doors with his knife. Ghostface kills his victims by stabbing them on vital points or slitting their throats. He is also fast enough to catch most of his victims.

The first two Ghostface killers (Billy and Stu) would often gut their victims and hang their corpse.

Roman Bridger had a voice changer that could copy others' voices, confusing his victims. Roman also wore a bulletproof vest under his Father Death costume which allowed him to survive gunshots to the chest.

Ghostface is sometimes a little bit of a klutz. Ghostface gets hit by doors and other objects like a refrigerator door while fighting with Tatum, and sometimes falls down to the floor while chasing Sidney.

Despite being human, four of the killers (Billy, Mickey, Roman and Jill) seem to have a supernatural ability to survive fatal wounds and spring back to life (although they were killed immediately after).

Despite actually being different people, Ghostface has a habit of menacingly wiping the blood off his knife with one gloved hand and has a  thorough knowledge of horror film genre, including conventions and trivia.
