Ghostface is the masked killer at the centre of the Scream horror franchise, which began in 1996 and made threatening phone calls a signature part of its scares. In the films, the killer often toys with victims before attacking, asking questions and turning an ordinary call into a threat. Short clips of those calls have since circulated online as pranks, memes and reaction sounds, especially around Halloween. This greeting-style clip endures because it is instantly recognisable to horror fans, yet simple enough to drop into almost any joke about unknown callers.
