NECA is gearing up to slash away at your wallet with yet another collectible that has us grinning ear-to-ear. If you’re a fan of the Scream franchise, you’re gonna LOVE this! Read on for details and your first look at the 8″ retro-Ghostface!
The figure, targeted for release this coming September, comes with a cloth cloak, knife and cellphone.
The character first appeared in Scream (1996) as a disguise used by teenagers Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) and Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard), during their killing spree in the fictional town of Woodsboro. Ghostface was created by Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson. The mask is based on The Scream painting by Edvard Munch and was created and designed by Fun World employee Brigitte Sleiertin as a Halloween costume, prior to being discovered by Marianne Maddalena and Craven for the film. The character is used primarily as a disguise for each of the antagonists of each film to conceal their identity, while conducting serial murders and as such has been portrayed by several actors.
