The iconic Ghostface from the Scream film series is once again capturing the hearts of TikTok users, marking its third consecutive year as a viral sensation. Fans are openly expressing their affection for this chilling horror figure.
Launched in 1996, the Scream franchise stands as one of the most beloved horror collections in film history.
Among its standout elements is the chilling presence of Ghostface, renowned for his haunting mask and eerie persona.
Interestingly, while many view Ghostface as terrifying, a portion of the audience finds him oddly appealing. This unique perspective has sparked a popular TikTok trend where individuals playfully request their partners to don a Ghostface mask as part of their flirtation.
Understanding the Ghostface TikTok Trend
The latest horror-themed craze sweeping TikTok is surprisingly whimsical rather than fearsome. Users have begun to infuse a sense of romance into the notoriously scary character of Ghostface.
Employing audio clips of Ghostface engaging in a phone conversation with Casey, famously portrayed by Drew Barrymore, TikTokers are role-playing as if they’re receiving flirtatious calls from him.

Exploring the TikTok Ghostface Profile Picture Cult
Furthermore, Ghostface has inspired multiple viral trends in recent times. In 2021, leading up to the release of Scream 6, TikTok was swept by a Scream cult phenomenon.
Previous trends have involved cultish followings centered on various figures, including the anime character Vegeta, artist Lana Del Rey, and even hamsters. The current Ghostface cult emerges just as the spooky season approaches.
In this trend, TikTok users changed their profile pictures to a uniform image of the Ghostface character, fostering a sense of community.
Participants would then follow hundreds, if not thousands, of others aligned with the cult, leading to a surge in their follower counts.
