10 Things You Didn't Know About Ghostface

10. His Distinctive Killing Style

Ghostface’s mannerisms interestingly stay the same throughout the four films, despite the different folks that don the mask. The charismatic and flirtatious personality that we were introduced to in the iconic opening scene with Drew Barrymore is consistent throughout all his incarnations, as well as his ritualistic way of killing.

The empty stare of the mask coupled with the almost mechanical repetitions help add to the overall fear factor surrounding the slasher villain. Being a polite chap who doesn’t want to leave too much of a mess after each horrendous act of violence, he always cleans his knife after each kill.

The kills themselves are similar too, slashing the throat of his victims before eventually stabbing them. Even serial killers have weird habits, apparently.

When the character was introduced to the horror game franchise Dead By Daylight, dubbed ‘The Ghost Face’, his meta knowledge of horror films and subsequent teasing of victims was kept in as it was so integral to the character.
