Ghostface is the masked killer from the Scream film franchise, which began in 1996, known for taunting victims by phone in a distorted voice before attacking. The opening calls became one of horror's most copied scenes, built around a calm hello that turns threatening. Short named greetings in that voice later spread on TikTok and in meme edits, where creators personalise the scare by using a specific name like Carlee. The clip stays popular because the voice alone signals danger, nostalgia and a punchline in under two seconds.
