The Big Picture Over the last 25 years, there have been few slasher villains as well known as Ghostface. The masked killer was made popular by the Scream franchise, which debuted in 1996. Since then, this scary face of horror has been featured in sequels, video games, TV shows, apparel collections, and toys. Now, Funko is adding to Ghostface’s blood-soaked legacy with a new horrifying Pop collection.
This isn’t Funko’s first attempt at this genre icon, as Ghostface did get a figure in the early days of the Pop line. However, that particular figure is on the rarer side nowadays and one that has been easily faked over the years. With other horror villains like Michael Myers, Leatherface, Chucky and the Universal Monsters all getting new Pops in the last year, it’s nice to see Ghostface rejoin the scream-worthy party.
While both installments have become cult classics in their own right, critically they weren’t seen as fresh and new as the previous two films. The franchise would then gain new life with Scream , continuing the story of the main final girl, Sidney Prescott, while expertly introducing a new batch of characters/actors for the next generation of Ghostface fans to latch onto. The latter of which included Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who have gone on to become modern horror royalty.
