Ghostface
Ghostface is the main protaganist in the Scream Trilogy. There have been five people to assume his mantle throughout the three movies. A serial killer, he (or she) often dresses up as a variation of a ghost, or the Grim Reaper (The name given to his costume in the film is 'Father Death'). He also uses a device to disguise his voice, and this is voiced by Roger L Jackson.
Ghostface is named after the rubber mask under which he hides his face, a mask inspired by the Edward Munch painting The Scream. He is also known as the Woodsboro Killer, after the town where he commits his murders.
Ghostface often calls his victims on the phone, taunting or threatening them before stabbing them to death with an 8 inch hunting knife. Even though he is usually known for asking his victims horror film trivia while stalking them, he only does this six times in the Scream Series. (Casey in Scream, Call to Sidney in Scream, Randy's call in Scream 2, Cici's call in Scream 2,Sarah's call in Scream 3,and Cotton's call in Scream 3)
In the first film, the killer is in fact two people; Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. Billy murders Sidney Prescott's mother prior to the events of the movie because she had slept with his father, prompting Billy's parents to divorce. Stu never gives a motive except for "peer pressure" but showed symptoms of psycopathy.
Minutes before Sidney's mother is murdered, she has sex with Cotton Weary; which in turn makes the scene appear to be a rape/murder crime, framing Cotton. Billy and Stu then proceed to try to murder Sidney and most of her friends as revenge.
In the second film, the person behind the killing once again turns out to be two people. The killers were Mickey, Sidney's boyfriend Derek's best friend and the other is Billy's mother, Mrs. Loomis, who wants revenge for the death of her son. She recruits Mickey Altieri, a psychopath to do the actual killings while she poses as a local reporter. Randy Meeks is the only victim in the film to be killed by Mrs. Loomis but Mrs Loomis was also the one behind the mask during Sidney's Party scare and in which resulted in Sidney's boyfriend Derek getting stabbed in the arm. Luckily, he suffered minor injuries.
In the third and final film, the killer is Sidney's half-brother Roman Bridger, who secretly manipulated the killings of the last two movies by revealing to Billy his father's affair. This is the only film in the series to have only one killer.
