Key Takeaways

  • Fans are discussing potential Ghostface motives that don’t involve Sidney Prescott.
  • Two thought-provoking fan theories suggest Ghostface may be enemies or a couple.
  • The return of Roger L. Jackson to voice Ghostface in Scream 7 has fans excited for the upcoming film.

As a seasoned Scream franchise fan who has witnessed more than a few nights of sleepless terror thanks to Ghostface, I can confidently say that the upcoming Scream 7 has me on the edge of my seat. While I’ve always admired the classic motive surrounding Sidney Prescott, it’s refreshing to see fans discussing alternative theories for our masked friend.


Among horror fans of the renowned franchise, there’s widespread consensus that Scream 7 demands an exceptionally engaging version of Ghostface. It pains me to express any criticism about my beloved slasher series. However, I can acknowledge that at least one of the past Ghostfaces didn’t meet expectations, with Ronan Bridger (Scott Foley) in Scream 3 being especially lackluster, particularly in its problematic opening scene.

Fans are asking big questions about Ghostface, like whether Ghostface needs a motive that isn’t about Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell). I’m personally torn on whether Ghostface should feel familiar or like someone audiences have never seen before. That’s why I’m impressed by two fan theories that stand out among the crowd.

I Love These Two Fan Theories About Ghostface’s Role In Scream 7

I Like These Scream 7 Ghostface Fan Theories

There are two fan theories about Ghostface on Reddit that are particularly great. One is about two Ghostfaces being enemies and the other is about two Ghostfaces who are a couple.

Redditor @Little_Interview5263 wrote:

“Imagine if there were two spectral adversaries, whose conflict happens to involve human lives as unfortunate casualties. This could be because they hold personal grudges against one another.

Redditor @MessyMop added to the discussion:

It’s intriguing to think they never portrayed two Ghostface killers who were deeply in love. It would be exciting to explore such passionate romance. In films 4 and 5, Jill and Richie both exploit the feelings of Charlie and Amber for them, respectively. I’d prefer a duo that genuinely cannot get enough of each other.

I find these two fan theories intriguing as they present contrasting ideas yet seem plausible. Ghostface, a character we all know for his distinctive features – the black cape, white and black mask, and an odd mix of humor and terror – is often portrayed by multiple killers. So, imagine if Ghostface wasn’t just one person but a team, perhaps they were in a relationship or even at odds with each other. These theories are compelling as they respect the Ghostface character’s established history within the Scream franchise (specifically, the recurring theme of two Ghostface killers). However, if either theory were to become reality in Scream 7, it would add an exciting twist, as it could be seen as rehashing old ideas, but in a refreshing way.

Instead of favoring a scenario where Ghostface is a romantic duo, I lean more towards two antagonistic Ghostface killers. The idea of them squaring off against each other is quite amusing, especially if one managed to reach Sidney before the other, causing tension and rivalry. If these Ghostfaces harbored mutual animosity, their motivation might not solely revolve around Sidney. This could inject a new twist into the plot, making it more intriguing. As one Reddit user suggested, perhaps these killers were once friends, now seeking revenge on each other. Alternatively, they may have always been enemies, both vying for the Ghostface role and harboring resentment towards the other’s actions. There are numerous storylines to explore in this scenario.

However, seeing two Ghostfaces who love each other would still be interesting. They could even be connected to someone in Sidney’s life or be an old high school or college classmate. Again, this theory could work since it’s so different. When Scream 7 is in theaters in February 2026, I want to see one or two Ghostface killers who give the other ones a run for their money. If they feel like the same old, same old, it’s going to be a bummer.

Roger L. Jackson Will Voice Ghostface In Scream 7

Roger L. Jackson, known for bringing Ghostface to life in the initial six Scream films, will reprise his role in Scream 7. Given his immense popularity and iconic status, it’s only fitting that he’s returning. After all, no one else could possibly deliver that distinctive voice, and Ghostface’s voice is as memorable as the costume itself.

Back in 2019, I had the privilege of being interviewed by Vice, sharing insights into the thrill of voicing a legendary serial killer character. It was amazing to hear firsthand about his positive experience throughout the process. You see, as a fellow fan, I grew up admiring voice acting, and it was fascinating to learn that he too had a passion for this craft. To nurture his talent, he attended the Academy Theatre in Atlanta, seeking knowledge and perfecting his skills. Furthermore, during the interview, he delved into Ghostface’s enigmatic identity and expressed his thoughts on the character’s mysteriousness.

“It targets social media platforms where people often post cruel remarks while staying anonymous. The character Ghostface might be someone close to us, such as our brother, sister, parent, or even ourselves. He embodies the darker aspects hidden within us, resonating deeply with today’s generation.
