10 Best Serial Killers In Movies

10. Ghostface - Scream Films

Ghostface is technically more than one person, but his/her presence in the life of Sidney Prescott has meant nothing but misery for both her and her classmates.

The first Scream film showed audiences the horrors of not knowing your horror trivia, as the killer quizzed a schoolgirl on the phone, promising to kill her boyfriend should she get any questions wrong.

A year after that, the killer strikes again, targetting the femme fatale of the series, Sidney Prescott. A year after her mother's murder, the young high-schooler is targetted by the demented madman who wants nothing more than to kill her.

Ghostface has appeared in all four Scream films, with different characters taking on the role at different times, either to exact their revenge on Sidney or to try and get their fifteen minutes of fame as well.

Those who take on the weighty Ghostface role usually tend to be somewhat clumsy, a bit of a loose cannon when it comes to following their own plans and crucially of all, patient. The more patient they are, the more they fill a sense of dread in the audience.

While Sidney has so far managed to successfully evade her own death at Ghostface's hand several times, the Halloween costume-donned killer has still been prolific in its murderous body count.

Maybe that's the reason why Woodsboro, California isn't recommended on TripAdvisor anymore.
