Ghostface is the masked killer at the centre of the Scream film series, which began with Wes Craven's Scream in 1996. The character wears a black hooded robe and a long white mask, and taunts victims by telephone using a voice changer, a device that became one of horror's most recognisable calling cards. The voice itself is provided by Roger L. Jackson, whose calm delivery has remained consistent across the films. Short clips circulate widely online because the sound is instantly recognisable, even to people who have not seen every film.
