How Wes Craven Chose The Ghostface Mask For Scream
·
·
By the mid-90s, horror movies had become somewhat predictable. Scream, written by Kevin Williamson and directed by Wes Craven, set out to change that by mixing self-aware humor with genuine scares. But even this groundbreaking film ran into trouble when it came to designing the killer’s mask. The production team couldn't agree on a final look, and after cycling through multiple ideas, nothing seemed to click.
While location scouting in Northern California, producer Marianne Maddalena stumbled upon a mask in a box in an old house. It was part of the Fantastic Faces collection, created by Fun World in 1991, and was originally called "The Peanut-Eyed Ghost." Screenwriter Kevin Williamson recalled that Craven took one look at the mask and said, "This is like the famous Scream painting by Edvard Munch." It was a blank canvas for whatever terrifying persona would hide behind it.
With Craven on board, the production team decided to "riff on" the design, creating over 20 different versions of the mask. However, none of these redesigns hit the mark. The studio kept rejecting each new attempt. The simplicity of the original mask couldn’t be beaten. Finally, the team decided to stop reimagining it and instead secured the rights to use the original. Fun World, the mask’s manufacturer, agreed, and just like that, a horror icon was born.
Unlike Michael Myers' repurposed Captain Kirk mask or Jason Voorhees' hockey mask, Ghostface’s mask didn’t come with any pre-existing connotations. It wasn’t part of an elaborate mythology—it was a cheap, mass-produced costume that could be worn by anyone. That anonymity made Ghostface even scarier, emphasizing that the true terror wasn’t the mask itself but the person underneath.
While the mask may have come from humble origins, it draws on some highbrow influences. In addition to Edvard Munch’s painting, the designers at Fun World also took inspiration from the creepy, ghostly figures seen in 1930s Betty Boop cartoons, as well as the eerie, distorted faces from Pink Floyd’s The Wall album cover.

My name is Max Kai, and I’m from the USA. I was deeply in love with a woman, and even after I found out she was cheating on me, I still wanted to make things work. Unfortunately, she chose to stay with the person she cheated with, and that broke me. About six weeks later, I came across a post on a relationship forum about a spell caster named Dr. Masako who helps people reconnect with lost love through love spells. With nothing left to lose, I decided to reach out to him via WhatsApp and shared my story. To my surprise, within just 24 hours, Dr. Masako helped bring my ex back into my life and now, we’re engaged and planning our wedding. I honestly didn’t expect this to work, but it did. If you’re going through something similar and need help getting your ex back, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Masako.
