Ghostface debuted in Scream in 1996 as the masked killer who taunts victims by phone before appearing in person, with the distorted voice performed by Roger L. Jackson. Short call excerpts became popular online because the character can sound polite and threatening in the same breath. As horror clips were shared on meme pages and soundboards, brief question lines like this one were reused outside the films for prank replies, suspicious reactions and edits where a normal conversation suddenly feels like the opening of a slasher scene.
About this sound
Ghostface asks why do you want to know in this short Scream movie clip, used for suspicious replies, horror edits and playful interrogation memes.
This is a brief line delivery from Ghostface, the masked caller from the Scream films, asking why the other person wants to know something. The voice is calm, distorted and deliberately unsettling, with that familiar phone-call menace that makes a simple question sound like a threat. At just over a second and a half, the clip lands instantly and leaves an awkward, tense pause after it. Creators use that uneasy tone to turn ordinary curiosity into something suspicious, funny or dramatic, especially when a character is hiding information or avoiding a straight answer.
