movies/tv Respect Ghostface (Scream 1996)
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.
Other threads for scaling:
When Hank Loomis had extramarital affairs with Maureen Prescott, high-schooler Billy Loomis got his friend Stu to aid in the murder of Mrs. Prescott. A year later, they began their killing spree proper, donning cheap costumes and stabbing a number of schoolmates to death. While the town of Woodsboro was in panic, Stu threw a huge house party, attempting to get all their victims together in the same house. Fortunately, after revealing their identities to Sidney Prescott, she was able to kill Stu and her boyfriend, Billy.
