'''Ghostface '''is the main antagonist of the [[Stab (film series)|''Stab'']] film series. He is voiced by [[Roger L. Jackson]] in most appearances and [[Matthew Lillard]] in ''[[Stab (2021)|Stab]]'' (2021).

Ghostface was named after the killer of [[The Woodsboro Murders (original massacre)|The Woodsboro Murders]]. It was sold as a Father Death costume in real-life before being adopted by [[Billy Loomis]] and [[Stu Macher]] for their killing spree.

Ghostface often called his victims on the phone, taunting or threatening them before stabbing them to death with an eight-inch hunting knife. He occasionally asked his victims horror movie trivia, and stalked them in a manner reminiscent of said films.

Their plan was to frame Maureen's husband, Neil Prescott, and culminate in killing Sidney.

*'''Stu Macher:''' Stu was a horror movie fanatic who followed his best friend, Billy Loomis, around. Submitting to peer pressure from Billy, Stu helped murder Maureen Prescott. A year later, they committed a murder spree in their home town, planning on recreating their beloved horror movies and becoming heroes for surviving the bloodbath. Their first targets were Stu's ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend (Casey Becker and Steve Orth). They also killed Stu's current girlfriend, Tatum. They eventually went on to kill multiple people however, he came to his death when he chased Sidney and bit his hand, which gave her time to drop a TV over his head, electrocuting and killing him almost instantly.

Even if anyone suspected there was a second killer, the persona she created of "Debbie Salt" couldn't be traced back to her.
