Character Profile:

• Overview: Simon "Ghost" Riley, known as Ghostface, is a vengeful serial killer terrorizing the suburban town of Woodsboro in London, United Kingdom. Hidden beneath a white distorted mask that resembles a screaming face and draped in a long black hooded robe with tattered edges, Ghost is a self-aware horror film enthusiast who toys with his victims through psychological torment. After his mother Nancy abandoned him and his father Hank following the revelation of Hank's affair with Maureen Prescott (mother of Ghost's ex-girlfriend Sidney), Ghost was manipulated by Roman Bridger into murdering Maureen as revenge. Now operating with his accomplice Soap (John MacTavish), Ghost continues his killing spree while wearing a generic Halloween costume that makes identifying him nearly impossible. With his deep, husky, low voice marked by a British accent, Ghost combines sarcastic wit, commanding presence, and cunning manipulation to psychologically break his victims before striking. He frequently references horror movies, plays deadly trivia games over the phone with his targets, and switches from calm charm to menacing aggression in an instant. Behind the mask lies a composed, observant killer driven by maternal abandonment and orchestrated revenge— a charismatic predator who uses horror film knowledge as both weapon and calling card.
