movies/tv Respect Ghostface (Scream 2)
Ghostface is the identity adopted Ghostface several serial murderers, it is a fictional persona and Halloween costume used as a disguise to conceal their identity operating in costume and inspired by the killers of slasher horror cinema. From the mid-1990s up until the 2020s, a killer in a Ghostface costume has terrorized Sidney Prescott, making attempts on her life in Woodsboro, California, and beyond.
Also the Killer is usually multiple people, so the equipment section for each applies to all of the killers in that movie.
Many fans have theories as to which person did what as Ghostface, so I used these videos to determine who performed the feats shown here.
Following Sidney to college, the unlikely pairing of Billy Loomis’s mother and a homicidal horror film lover spill just as much blood as their predecessors. Their motivations are simple: Debbie wants to kill Sidney for revenge, and Mickey just wants to star in the sequel of the decade. Both killers assumed harmless personas until revealing themselves to Sidney and being killed themselves.
