    Biography

    “Deranged Amusement” — The Terror of Woodsboro

    The many killers who have worn the Ghostface mask all share a horrifying trait: they take perverse joy in inflicting pain and taking lives.

    Armed with a menacing knife, an encyclopedic knowledge of horror films, and a psychopathic compulsion to torture, Ghostface has become an infamous symbol of terror.

    No sooner did Ghostface arrive in the New Era, then dead bodies began to pile up. Panic has seized the realms as its citizens fear for who might be this serial killer’s next victim.

    One minute I’m in Woodsboro, closing in for the kill. Then the next, somehow…I’m here. How’d it happen? And why? Don’t know and I don’t care! What I do know is I’m gonna sink my teeth into this plot twist!

    But people here don’t know me. And if I’m gonna relish making mayhem, I need ’em fucking scared. Live streaming some kills will do the trick. The shredded flesh and splattered blood will go viral. And that’s when the fun really begins…

    I can’t wait to start stacking bodies. To see the eyes go dark as they die. I do this right, someone will wanna turn it into a videogame. And they say I’m a psycho…
