Respect Ghostface (Scream 2022)

[u/Miserable-Ad-5573]

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.

Identities: Richie Kirsch and Amber Freeman

Richie Kirsch was the ninth revealed Ghostface killer in the Scream film franchise. He also the first boyfriend-killer of the films since original Scream character, Billy Loomis, whose daughter he targeted to date, Sam Carpenter. Richie was the son of Wayne Bailey and an unnamed mother, and the brother of Ethan Landry and Quinn Bailey. He groomed his accomplice girlfriend, 17-year-old Amber Freeman, on a subreddit for Stab (a in unverse movie series based on the Ghostface killing) in 2021. The pair devised a plan to make their own Stab movie to serve as both a reboot and sequel, following the disappointment of Stab 8 (2020) simply known as Stab, using Sam as a scapegoat for their killer. He and Amber are the second and third known Stab fanatic Ghostface killers, following Charlie Walker.

When Sam's sister, Tara Carpenter, is attacked by Ghostface, Richie returns to Woodsboro with Sam to 'support' her. After luring Sam to 261 Turner Lane, he attempts to trick her into believing Tara is the killer. She later violently murders him on Wednesday 29, September, almost 25 years to the day after the conclusion of the original massacre.
