2022 Shoutthe fifth film in the slasher franchise, features the return of costumed killer Ghostface. As more victims face the wrath of Ghostface, a few series favorites appear and are forced to survive yet another massacre. With Scream 6 in the books and a seventh movie on the way, fans will likely go back to be terrified of Ghostface’s antics again.

Part of the lasting success of Shout the franchise comes from the creativity of Ghostface through the series. This is primarily based on the character’s dark ability to spread terror through something as simple as a phone call. Several great Ghostface quotes have terrified audiences and left a lasting impact on fans over the years.

UPDATE: 2024/11/27 01:12 EST BY BRIAN CRONIN

I continue to add to this fun list five GREATEST Ghostface quotes over the years.

31 “You must have a sequel!”

Shout

Looking back, some of the funniest things in Shout franchises are things that FEEL like callbacks, but obviously can’t be, because they happen in the movies before the LATER movies even exist. However, I think everyone involved with the film knew that if it was a success, there would probably be sequels. This is simply a common thing in the world of horror films.

See, Sid, everyone dies except us. Everyone dies except us! We can go ahead and plan what’s next. Because let’s be real baby these days, you gotta get a sequel!

So it makes perfect sense (in their twisted serial killer logic) that Stu and Billy have to survive to make MORE movies, just like Jason or Freddy, but they don’t realize, of course, that the final girl can ALSO come back in the sequels, and not always with the killers either. So yes, there will be more sequels, but not with Stu or Billy in them!

30 “Have you ever felt a knife tearing human flesh and scraping the bones underneath?”

Scream 2

Jamie Kennedy’s Randy was the audience surrogate in the first Shout film, so when the second film began, it seemed logical to assume that he would continue in this role, the comic relief who explains the plot to the reader in a fun and sarcastic way. However, this is broken early in the film when Randy is killed in a shocking murder in the middle of the day.

I’m not interrupting anything, am I? The three of you seem deep in thought. Have you ever felt a knife tearing human flesh and scraping bones?

First, he is called on his cell phone while conducting an investigation alongside Gale and Dewey, and Ghostface taunts him with a creepy comment about tearing human flesh. He then taunts Randy some more before shockingly dragging him into a press van and stabbing him to death. This is one of the most shocking deaths in the franchise.

29 “I was definitely the best choice for the film.”

Scream (2022)

One of the things that Shout What the films do well is play with the idea of ​​the red herring, where you’re supposed to suspect person A of being the killer, but it’s actually person B. The whole idea of ​​redirection is an important part of all horror films, but especially in a twisty and circuitous franchise like Shout. Therefore, when Jack Quaid’s Richie behaves very creepily throughout 2022 Shoutit seems unlikely that he is the real killer.

I know, it’s a shame, it’s me. I was definitely the best choice for the film.

However, since there are TWO killers in the film, Richie IS revealed as one of them, and he explains that he completely understands what a disappointment it is that he turns out to be the killer. Richie and Amber being fans of Stab The film-within-a-film franchise is what brought them together, so he serves as the audience surrogate while also being the killer.

28 “It was fun!”

Shout

While Richie is scary throughout 2022 Shoutwhat makes Stu and Billy’s villain transform at the end of the original Shout what’s particularly disturbing is that they were NOT scary for most of the movie. Billy was downright CHARMING, so when they reveal themselves at the end of the film as the killers, it was already going to have an impact.

Watch a few films, take some notes. It was fun.

The film, however, has this impact augmented by the way Billy and Stu behave when they surprise Sidney. The way they express how much fun they are having is really scary, especially with their big psychotic eyes. Their boasting about the simplicity of their plot makes their deaths even more satisfying.

27 “Anyone can die in a sequel”

Scream (2022)

Again, as noted, Richie and Amber are huge movie fans, and this is their disappointment with the direction of the film. Stab films that brought them together and inspired them to hatch a plan to commit a new series of murders that could inspire a reboot of the Stab franchise. This was of course a metafictional comment on what the 2022 project Shout the movie was literally (again, it’s even titled simply Shout Again).

Dewey had to die for this to become a reality. To show that this wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill, run-of-the-mill sequel. Because our film has fucking issues! Because anyone can die in a sequel.

So when we see Mikey Madison’s Amber explaining her plot, it’s actually the plot of the movie we’re currently watching, which makes it all the more sinister, but also sinisterly FUNNY. THAT WAS really the whole point of Dewey’s death, to make the movie feel like it had more impact.

26 “I’m talking about how much fun it’s going to be to tear your insides apart!”

Scream 3

While Scream 3 wasn’t as well-regarded as the other films in the franchise, it opened with one of the series’ most twisted murders. Fans had gotten a bit attached to Liev Schrieber’s Cotton Weary, to the point where there was some fan speculation before Scream 3 that Cotton would have a starring role in the film.

Instead, Ghostface uses his iconic voice modulator to torment Cotton’s girlfriend, Christine (Kelly Rutherford), into believing that it was COTTON who was psychologically tormenting her and planning to kill her, including the new line classic that this was all a “game” that “Cotton” plays with her… a game where he tears her inside out! She was so twisted that when Cotton showed up to save her, she attacked him, allowing them ALL to be killed by Ghostface.

25 “Let’s face it Sydney, your mother was not Sharon Stone”

Shout

While there’s still time, of course, none of the Ghostfaces so far have captured the same messy cruelty that Billy and Stu managed in the original film. In this classic sequence, Sydney is both trying to delay her impending death, while also legitimately wondering why her boyfriend murdered her mother. At first, Billy and Stu laugh at his question, noting that many famous killers in movies never do it. their motivations have been explained.

Your mother was not Sharon Stone!

However, behind these bluster lies Billy’s real reason. He blamed Sydney’s mother for having an affair with his father, which led to his mother abandoning him. Billy notes that his mother was “being a bitch around town, acting like she was Sharon Stone,” then Stu adds further unnecessary cruelty by noting that his mother was “not Sharon Stone!”

24 “I don’t need friends, I need fans!”

Scream 4

The big twist at the end of Scream 4 was that Sydney’s cousin Jill Roberts, while seemingly reliving Sydney’s experiences in the first film, was actually the Ghostface orchestrating everything, because Jill wanted Sydney’s life. This is reflected when Sydney expresses surprise that Jill would kill her own friends just to become “the final girl”.

Jill mocks Sydney’s reaction, explaining in detail:

My friends? What world do you live in? I don’t need friends. I need fans. You don’t understand? Was there ever any question of killing you? It’s about becoming yourself. I mean, hell, my own mother had to die, no big loss, so I could stay true to the original. It’s sick, isn’t it? Well, the sick are the new sane. You had your 15 minutes, now I want mine! I mean, what am I supposed to do? Go to college? Higher education? Work? Look around you. We all live in public now, we’re all on the Internet. How do you think people still get famous? You don’t have to achieve anything. Some stupid things just have to happen to you. Then you must die, Sid. These are the rules. New film, new franchise. There’s only room for one track, and let’s face it, your ingenuous days are over.

Of course, since Sydney is the star of Scream 7Jill was a little out of place.

23 “I’ll blame the movies”

Scream 2

Somehow, of all the Ghostfaces, the one that really seemed to affect Sydney the most was Mickey Altieri, as Mickey was the first Ghostface not to be directly connected to Sydney. As twisted as it was for her boyfriend, her cousin, or her boyfriend’s mother to want her dead, at least Sydney felt some logic in their actions – but when someone TOTALLY disconnected from her ALSO wanted her dead , this made Sydney realize that she would never be done with the Ghostfaces, there would always be a new one to come out of the woodwork.

I’ll blame the movies. Pretty cool, huh? This has never been done before.

Mickey was also an unusual Ghostface in that he planned to get caught. He wanted to try to blame the movies as a defense and have a big spectacular murder trial like OJ Simpson. His partner, Nancy Loomis (Laurie Metcalf) was never going to allow that to happen.

22

21 “Movies don’t create psychopaths. Movies make psychopaths more creative!”

Shout

Of course, if Mickey had looked first Shout movie, he would have known that even Billy Loomis knew that you couldn’t blame movies for what they did. After Sydney yells at Billy and Stu and insists that they have seen too many movies, Billy lashes out at her and says that she is unfounded with her accusation.

Now Sid, don’t blame the movies. Movies don’t create psychopaths. Movies make psychopaths more creative!

This is almost the central message of all Shout films, really, the idea that obviously, deep down, there is nothing wrong with enjoying these slasher films, especially when they are of a high level of quality like almost all Shout movies, so even though Billy was a terrible, terrible person, he at least didn’t try to blame the movies for any of this.

20 “Maybe you’re too weak for this franchise.”

Scream 5

Maybe you’re too weak for this franchise.

Facing the Carpenters in late 2022 Shout, Ghostface speaks menacingly and eloquently on the state of the so-called ‘franchise’ and their place in it. In real Shout mode, Ghostface makes a meta-reference about Sam Carpenter not being strong enough to survive in the franchise.

Ghostface’s endless affinity for movies helps make him a particularly terrifying killer in the world. Shout franchise. This allows him to engage in meta-commentary like this, which increases his fear factor while playing with audience expectations.

19 “I only hear you too, Sidney.”

Scream 3

I only hear you too, Sidney.

While he was at the police station Scream 3Sidney Prescott receives a mysterious phone call from an unknown number. When she has difficulty making out another voice on the other end of the line, Sidney comments that she can only hear herself in an echo. At that moment, Ghostface’s unmistakable voice slyly replies that he can hear it too.

Sidney’s phone conversations with Ghostface make for some of the best and scariest scenes ever. Shout franchise. This scene, while not the most famous conversation between them, perfectly sets up the rivalry between Sidney and this version of Ghostface. By now, Sidney is very good at dispatching Ghostface Killers and immediately sets about doing it after this conversation.

18 “If you hang up on me, you will die like your mother.”

Shout

If you hang up on me, you’ll die like your mother.

Like many Ghostface killers, Billy Loomis and Steve Macher’s vendetta against Sidney Prescott was personal. It turns out that they are responsible for the murder of Sidney’s mother a year earlier, and in a moment of rage, one of them cruelly threatens to do the same to her if she hangs up.

This cruel and cruel statement shows how bloodthirsty Stu and Billy were. Not only did they brutally kill Sidney’s mother, but they also planned to do the same to her. Fortunately, Sidney turned the tables on both killers, defeating them and taking revenge for his mother’s death.

17 “Hello Samantha, did you miss me?”

Scream VI

Hello Samantha, did you miss me?

It doesn’t matter who the protagonist is Shout Whether it’s the franchise, they always have a blood feud with Ghostface. In the new films, Melissa Barrera’s Samantha Carpenter is the one who never seems free from the terrifying killers. Still obsessed with the final girl, the Ghostface of Scream VI menacingly wonders if Samantha has missed him since their last conversation.

While each Shout The film introduces a new Ghostface, they are all somewhat connected, as if the killer was one person the whole time. Shout And Scream VI reinforcing the new Ghostfaces’ hatred of Sam Carpenter, which was supposed to continue in other films until Melissa Barrera’s firing from Scream 7.

16 “You will die when I want you to, Sidney.”

Scream 4

You will die when I want you to, Sidney.

By the time Ghostface reappears in Scream 4Sidney is so done with the killer coming back. This one, however, showed how different she was, revealing that she didn’t want to kill Sidney – at least not yet. In a heated exchange, Ghostface promises that Sidney will die, but only when the time is right..

The ghost face of Scream 4who was Sidney’s cousin, Jill Roberts, is unique in that she maintains a well-planned and carefully executed strategy to achieve her goals. Her calm, collected assertion that Sidney’s death was on the horizon serves as a terrifying reminder that she had bigger plans at stake than just killing the last girl.

15 “Hello Sidney, it’s an honor”

Scream (2022)

Hello Sidney, it’s an honor.

The original Shout featured one of the scariest lines ever delivered in the franchise as Ghostface greets his victim by name with a simple “Hello SidneyThe terror caused by this single line was felt by the public, even though it was appropriately updated in 2022. Shout.

When series lead Sidney Prescott finds himself on the phone with Ghostface again, the killer references the original line while showcasing the fandom that has been built around the movie universe. It’s a perfect update to the unforgettable provocation and perfectly sets the tone for Shoutthe return.

14 “You wish it was Ted. Don’t forget to set the alarm!”

Scream 2

You wish it was Ted. Don’t forget to set the alarm!

1992s Scream 2 explored the rules of a horror movie sequel while giving fans the same Ghostface they loved. One of the best kills Scream 2 reminded of the original film. A race through obstacle-laden houses saw Ghostface target a solo sorority girl who was guarding the campus house for the evening.

Ghostface’s calls usually begin in a non-threatening manner, leading Cici to assume it was her boyfriend Ted calling. Ghostface’s reminder to check the alarm was a gift to fans that they were already in the house, further increasing the tension.

13 “I never said I was in YOUR closet.”

Screen4m

I never said I was in YOUR closet.

The fourth film in the franchise was released in 2011 under the title Screen4m. It was a return to Woodsboro, where the first Ghostface massacre first occurred. The appearance of Sidney Prescott sparked a new series of murders, and Ghostface was particularly creative in their murders and phone conversations.

Ghostface called Sidney’s younger cousin, Jill, while she was talking on the other line with her friend. When Ghostface’s taunts tricked Jill into thinking they were in her closet, the masked killer attacked her friend. As a result, Jill and Sidney could watch. The above line was soon followed by: “Welcome home, Sidney. Overview of upcoming events.“

12 “When you’re friends with Sidney, you die!”

Scream 3

It’s always hard to be friends with you, Sidney. When you’re friends with Sidney, you die!

Ghostface moved to Hollywood in the 2000s Cry 3, which took place largely on the set of the film in production Stabbing 3. Stabbing 3 was a continuation of the film series based on the Ghostface murders. Sidney was targeted again, as Ghostface refocused his murders on Sidney and his mother, Maureen Prescott.

Ghostface taunted Sidney about all the friends she lost because of the franchise, hoping to get under her skin. However, Sidney used it to launch her own attack and show why she is still a survivor, even after facing multiple Ghostface murderers.
