Ghostface is the masked killer from the horror franchise Scream.
Ghostface first appeared in the film in 1996.
The mask was a disguise used by local Woodsbro teens Billy Loomis and Stu Macher that allowed
them to go on a killing spree.
The mask is used to conceal the identity of two different murderers.
But seeing as how the costume is really common, and is worn by people who aren't the killer,
it's difficult to tell who's the murderer and who's simply wearing a costume.
But what if ghostface was a real killer in this day and age?
That's the question we're asking right now on life's biggest questions.

Ghostface is one of the most iconic masked murderers in the history of horror cinema.
The plot twist was there was actually two killers instead of one, both using the mask
to conceal their identity.
But did you know that Scream was actually inspired by a true story?
I thought it would be appropriate to tell you about since we are discussing what would
happen if Ghostface was real.
In Gainesville Florida, during august of 1990, someone was going around mutilating and murdering
women.
The first to die were Sonja Larson and Christine powell.
Roommates.
The next was Christina hoyt.
Then it was another pair of roommates, Tracy Paules ad Manny Toboada.
All the victims were killed in their apartments.
Christina Hoyt was found popped up on a bed and bent over at the waist, and whoever was
responsible sliced off her nipples and placed her severed head on a shelf.
All the victims were killed with a knife, four of them were killed at the university
of florida.
Whoever did it wanted to terrify anyone who found the bodies, the killer would place them
in sexually provocative positions.
While this was going on, a student at the u of florida, told the Associated press that
everyone slept with their knives nearby.
AT the time, there were no cell phones, no surveillance cameras, so it was that much
harder to find the killer.
Screenwriter Kevin Williamson turned on the television when he was housesitting and he
came across a special on the Gainesville murders.
It scared him so much that he started fantasizing about a knife wielding killer that was waiting
for him outside the house he was watching.
The Gainesville mutilations eventually inspired Williamson to write scream, which was a huge
success at the box office.
The original film made 80 million initially and has now grossed well over 175 million.
The Gainsville slasher turned out to be a man called Danny Rolling.
He didn't wear a mask, but he was very disturbed.
Rolling confessed to raping several of his victims, and he attempted to kill his own
father in May of 1990.
In total, Rolling killed 8 people, plead guilty, and was sentenced to death by lethal injection.
He claimed his motive was to become a superstar, similar to serial killer ted budy.
So, first things first if ghostface was real, and it really was two killers, they would
have a lot harder of a time committing the murders in this day and age and not getting
caught early on.
Scream was released in 1996, the gainsville murders took place in 1990, this was way before
the technological society we live in today.
If there was any word about a killer on the loose, it would be all over social media.
There would be trending hashtags and widespread panic.
Remember how the ghostface character would call landlines?
Well definitely not in 2018.
Pretty much everyone has cellphones now.
And What about caller ID and voicemails?
Victims didn't have to answer the phone.
And by the way, have you ever noticed how long drew Barrymore talks on the phone with
the killer?
Dude.
Hang up and call the cops.
Yeah there's no way that would happen in real life.
Many households are also equipped with alarm systems and panic buttons.
You hit one of those buttons if you're even a little worried, and the authorities are
at your house within a couple of minutes.
And these days, the ghostface costume is not as common as it was in the 90s.
Yes it is one of the most popular costumes of all time, but its somewhat dated in this
day and age.
If there really was a masked killer running around wearing a ghostface mask, there wouldn't
be as many people wearing the costume, and the killer would be far easier to catch.
There are surveillance cameras everywhere, especially when it comes to university campuses,
where the killer who inspired the Scream movie targeted most of his victims.
School shootings have resulted in campuses becoming a lot better about security.
Whenever there's a security risk, people aren't running around attending parties
like they are in the film scream.
Campuses are on lockdown, students barricade themselves into classrooms and dorm rooms,
and campuses are even evacuated if there are potential threats.
And lets not forget that ghostface wielded a knife.
Many american's own guns in their households.
Eventually the protagonists in the film scream eventually used a gun, but that happened at
the end of the movie.
The first thing most people would do if there really were a killer on the loose is get a
gun and keep it on them at all times.
Sure, a couple of guys running around in a mask might be able to kill a couple of victims,
but a massacre wouldn't happen to the extent that it happened in Scream.
Well there you have it, these are just a few examples of what would happen if Ghostface
was real.
