Ghostface, the masked killer from the Scream films, joined Mortal Kombat 1 as a guest fighter in the Khaos Reigns expansion in 2024, bringing his taunting movie obsessed personality into the fighting game. Lines referencing scary movies fit the character, who has always mocked horror tropes while stalking victims. Short voice clips like this one spread through soundboards and short edits because the reference is instantly recognisable to both fighting game players and horror fans, even without any gameplay footage shown.
