Ghost Face is the masked killer at the centre of the Scream films, first released in 1996, who famously taunts victims over the phone before attacking. That phone-call menace is what makes a simple greeting feel so threatening, and clips of the voice have circulated widely in horror edits, reaction videos and Halloween content online. The sound remains popular because it needs no explanation: even viewers who have not seen every film recognise the mask, the voice and the danger implied by the call, making it a quick shorthand for horror and dark comedy.
