Ghostface

The Ghostface Killer, or simply Ghostface, is the name adopted by a number of serial murderers operating in costume and inspired by slasher horror cinema. From the mid-1990s up until the 2010s, killers in Ghostface costume terrorized Sidney Prescott, making attempts on her life in Woodsboro, California and beyond. This thread covers the killers across the four movie franchise. Since the killer is usually two different people in the same costume, feats are marked by performer if possible, using an online guide for attribution. Unmarked feats are by both or unknown.
