January 28th 2012: Halloween & Party Expo show in Houston.
In Houston the set-up is coming along nice according to RJ Torbert, last year we saw many a picture from him and hopefully this year we will see more pictures too.. many a fan would love to go there im sure and see many a mask and costume closeby, last year RJ was giving away $100 dollar bills to people with Ghostface ties who he picked out, wonder if anything like it will happen this year.. ?
Below is a picture RJ tweeted of a Lightbox featuring Ghostface from the logo with his Registered trademark of "The Icon of Halloween" proudly above!
RJ's Tweet below..
Other pictures taken are on RJ's twitter profile, the show ran from January 28th -31st!
January 20th 2012: Mask page info update.
Hello again, while i dont have Scream 5 news i do have some more info added on the mask page,
after talking to RJ Torbert i can finally put my mind to rest about the mask tag known to fans as the 97' tag, or "ASIS" mask.. it always confused me as to why we went from a Fantastic, to a Fearsome' and then to a plain purple and black "As Seen in Scream" version... well now, all is explained, after seeing a picture of the tag again RJ had the info come back to him, head to the mask page to check out the new info, while small in content it now all makes sense to me, just another Ghostface mask history FACT!
January 5th 2012: The STAB Project from Josh Dudley..
Hello, a short while back i had an e mail off Josh Dudley, (Fan Films, STAB 4, 5) , He has completed a STAB 4 and 5 and is due to make no.6 this year... what he wants to do is make a STAB 1, 2 and 3... Read the details what he sent below...
StabMovies.com is excited to announce our first ever Fan-Submitted Film Project! As many of you have noticed, Stab’s 1, 2 and 3 are missing from our website! We decided that since we are so busy making Stab 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 that maybe you guys would like to take a crack at filming the first 3 movies for us!
Here’s the plan: starting right now, we will be accepting emails (send emails to StabMovies@yahoo.com with the subject line “The Stab Project”) from those of you who have a camera, or access to one, and want to participate in this project! There are no age or location restrictions! Anyone can sign up! All sign-up emails must be received by March 1, 2012. After the signups are complete, we will assign scenes to interested participants/teams. We will be writing the script for you, all you have to do is assemble actors, setup your shots, film and edit your scenes, and then send them back to us! We will then assemble all the scenes into one whole movie that will be posted on our YouTube channel and our website! This round of sign-ups is for Stab 1, the original Stab (based on the first Scream movie). Sign-ups for Stab 2 and 3 will take place next year, after the completion of the first film! SIGN UP NOW!!
Please note: If possible, we’d like all scenes to be submitted in 1080HD. Don’t forget to let us know who your cast will be (after we assign you your scenes) so we can give them credit at the end of the movie! This is your chance to join in on the fun and finally star in your very own Stab movie!

January 1st 2012: Happy New Year! What will happen in 2012?
Hello again, hope you all had a nice Christmas and New Year's Eve party!! Well this time last year things were different, we were all still very much anticipating Scream 4's arrival and news of Re-shoots was close, also the Halloween Expo show was held in Houston and RJ was there giving away $100 dollar bills to lucky winners there, a Statue of Ghostface was there along with some nice models sporting many a costume from Fun World and also the Ghostface Ties were on the odd picture! But now we look into 2012...
What's coming?? Well hopefully more new goodie's from Ghostface in some shape, way or form, that's the trouble with Halloween, its so far away again. But fans are also anxiously awaiting Scream 5 news, with TWC recently asking on a Facebook poll about it we know its in their heads to do, after all Kevin Williamson was contracted for a 4 and 5, but nothing was settled for a sixth! .. all i can hope right now is that we get Kevin writing again for Scream 5, Wes back to direct, and Cast as always wanted, Neve, David and Courteney, and maybe also fans will beg enough for Kirby to return! (Hayden Panettiere).
For the moment though have a good New Years Day, and lets hope the world lasts long enough so we can see more Scream movies! 2012 may be the year the world ends, especially if Kevin DOESNT write Scream 5!
December 18th 2011: Kevin playing about as Ghostface!
Well its only a small Tweet from the man who wrote the films we love! But at least its something he relates to that is Scream and Ghostface! Kevin decided to put on a mask and scare jaalapickering with what looks like a "Fantastic Faces" line mask!! Good on him! After Dinner you could start writing Scream 5 !
December 17th 2011: A New feel and look arrives here...
Well after many a play about' in photoshop i accidentally came up with a metal effect that looked quite nice, after doing a few tests on it with new links and various backgrounds i decided to keep it like this, RJ was given a link to the test page and he liked it too, so after some small adjustments i have the site and forum matching nice. Overall the main site info hasnt changed much but the mask page has had all new images and new info added on the bottom helping people identify types of mask that may have had them previously asking what types they had. So all i can say now is MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hope you all like the place again! Hopefully more Ghostface and Scream 5 news will be arriving in the new year!

December 5th 2011: Ghostface registered trademark now Official.
A few days ago RJ Torbert Tweeted something i had been waiting for... The fact that the new trademark to be linked with Ghostface had gone through!!
"YOU are the first to know publicly,-THE ICON OF HALLOWEEN® is officially a REGISTERED TRADEMARK of FUN WORLD. webmasters take NOTE."
Followed by...........
"GHOST FACE is now forever linked, as THE ICON OF HALLOWEEN® twitter followers are the first to know.
happy friday. R.J."
This is what you see when you are in new york looking at our building... Said RJ via Twitter!
December 3rd 2011: Video Updates return!!!
For a long time now, (Since Start of March 2011) i havent done a Video update, now though i have been busy making more for an update! , Yesterday i filmed them and had various rendering troubles.. now finally i have them here.. Enjoy and dont get too bored...
November 29th 2011: 5 years later....
Well, many may remember a similar image from last year saying we were "4" years old! , i remember ripping the "4" from the Scream 4 trailer screen cap i got... Well, here we are, another year later.. now 5 years old!
Some of what i write here may sound similar already to last years post, but here we go anyway...
Being 5 years old and looking at the stats its not hard to see this place is strongly viewed by many a fan and internet user, Stats may be just be numbers to many and not always mean a lot but here im happy with the attention we get! So what will be going on in the future??
Well, the site at the time has 2 versions of itself, one is always being played about with and tested in its other format, and this version is sometimes played with, as you may notice with background images changing here and there from time to time! (Sorry for that, but im too fussy with main backgrounds).. i try to stick to what i think are Scream and Ghostface related colours.. which i think at this time is about right!
What else then you say?!!
Well, im always on the lookout for more new software on major site add-ons, i still await a nice new forum software from some developer out there, i also still want to learn FLASH too, but overall i think the site is nice to peruse and read through at this time, ive never been 100% happy with the forum but thats life, some boards are busy, others just arent! .. A lot of customization goes into this site but sadly forum-wise it doesnt get what it deserves.. not the end of the world though.
What else then?? Anything?
Well, nothing major i know of yet, i hope a Scream 5 arrives in the future sometime, and i hope Kevin is mainly, if not fully behind the scribes pen again, same with the crew and cast, Wes, David, Neve, and Courteney are all wanted back, but i wouldnt want them to be killed off.. Give out some harsh beatings if needed but i wouldnt like to see any of the main trio die, the minute that starts happening its isnt SCREAM... These characters give the feel of the movies, same with Ghostface, if the main cast changed it would be like another film.
Back to the site, with regards to new content i am in progress of adding major mask facts to the mask page, thus helping fans identify a type of mask, many masks have their own certain mould marks and are known of by fans, some can be almost impossible to see differences for various reasons.. many fans know the certain eye shapes and nose differences, other types are worlds apart, like the solid masks, (Color Changing, Bleeding, Flip up, Kids masks).
The main mask types being concentrated on are the Fantastic, Fearsome, ASIS Tag mask, EU types, and the later version masks bearing the early familiar Black and Red "Ghostface" tags...
also the latest versions will be compared to past versions, like the "Ultra White, Walgreens, Deluxe, and Horror Nights masks!
Since starting my site i thought i knew a lot of trivia on masks and films but i have learnt a LOAD of new info since arriving online! Some just in recent months, i look forward to learning more in the future with the aid of fans and this site and of course RJ and Fun World giving us Ghostface for years to come!
Rest assured as long as im here ill always keep this place going! It may go through many a change and we may see a few more films and even masks in that time, but we will have to all still go online to find out first!
Thanks for reading.
Ghostface (Tim Wagstaff)
November 29th 2011: A few masks facts to share...
Ok, first off, Hello again, the site hasnt had an update for just over a month but this place is NEVER forgotten, i check this every day to see all is ok and on the forum too.. another thing i check out most the time is EBay..
Sadly many CRAPPY NON FW versions of the mask still exist but as reported previously we hope they will be gotten rid of in the future.. now, onto the main part.. there are certain Ebayer's out there who would, and actually DO write anything to make a gullible person who doesnt know masks well
buy what they think is something special..
With reference to what i mean is the new 2011 "Ultra White" (as described by many a fan) masks.. These have a few nice characteristics... firstly, and most obvious, these are a bright white shiny vinyl, the mouths are matt black, the back of the chin is "Stampless", the stamp is there on the inside of the mask to the diaganol top left of the left eye.. they also have an elastic strap inside... shrouds are the normal black stretchy material we have seen for many years now on previous versions.. NOT LIMITED in number these masks.. many a store and EBay seller have had these types over the last few months.. The seller on EBay describes these as "Ultra Hero" version, that he/she describes as the same production mould used in Scream 4's "Hero" masks.. NOT TRUE!!
It also ISNT another "Collectors edition" of the mask..
and isnt RARE as Hens Teeth! Many stores worldwide have these masks.. if buying off ebay always try and ask questions first about EXACTLY what you are getting..
Some sellers may have old tagged stock like the purple ASIS tag, aka 97 tag mask.. others would have new stock, remember it doesnt cost anything to ask questions, if they dont reply then obviously they dont care too much about selling items, or are just plain bloody ignorant!! Sadly some are... Be careful out there, and remember that if it sounds too good to be true it normally is!! A smooth chin Ghostface mask ISNT rare! Not in this case! Just make sure all purchased masks are FUN WORLD made and dont pay over the odds for what is a normal run mask! The seller in mind ALWAYS put his banter in huge fonts normally in RED, some are currently in a Blue colour.. STAY AWAY...
October 27th 2011: Metallics in possesion finally.. Thanks to........
Well, finally after about 3 years i have managed to source some Metallic Ghostface masks! Partly because of word of mouth via the ST forum when a picture of a tag barcode was taken with the manufacturing date showing 2011... i then followed this up with RJ who said that 4000 were made for a store chain.. "Savers"...
After contacting "Savers" i was contacted back via E mail from a nice man called "Reg".. he told me head office had been in contact saying i was after the masks.
After details were sorted and postage costs were confirmed i had to then contact a lady called "Ellen",
Payment was handled and sorted out and then Reg posted the masks, today they arrived and im more than pleased with them! What's normally rare mask's in the UK now become common for myself as i now have two sets of these, why?? Well, a fan randomly messaged me on the ST forum not long ago, he had seen posts i had made about wanting Metallic's and other forum users "CrackerJack" and "Insanity" made comments to send me some masks, reason being that the chap had been and drove 2 states away from his home in USA to find a hefty amount of Metallic masks.. around 20 of the masks were bought by him.
It was his decision to send me some masks out of the kindness of his heart.. after address details were sorted i thought maybe 1 or 2 masks would come.. on opening the box i had a red and purple metallic, 2 "Walgreens" types, 2010 and 2011.. a "HN" stamped Fearsome style still sealed in plastic wrapper AND what fans have nicknamed the 2011 "Ultra White".. Needless to say i was very grateful and surprised! This lad had spent his own money going through America seeking out these masks for his own collection, then decided himself he was sending some here at his own cost. I am VERY surprised when fans like this do what he has... especially as others were on about charging $25 PER MASK, plus the shipping.. but in the end i am happy, Masks now part of the collection. But wait, you say, what about the other two masks?? "TWO sets were mentioned" ....
YES, the other Masks, which were Green and Blue were picked up by a distant relative i didnt know of until earlier this year when my grandma purchased a laptop to speak to her sisters in Canada via "Skype", i asked if a "Savers" or "Value Village" were known of and it was confirmed they knew of the store.. After an hour drive from their home over there they managed to find the masks.. so needless to say again i have many "thankyou's"
to do, one of which i have done via Grandma's webcam yesterday..
So then, HUGE THANKYOU'S to all below!!!
RJ for letting me know new batches were made when i enquired.
Savers Head office!
Reg, the manager of the Store in Halifax, Nova Scotia, (Who has also helped others i referred to him)
Ellen from the head office for sorting out payment!
"Scary Faces" member on ST forum.. for randomly sending a box of masks over.. Thanks again!
To my Grandma, and her Sister "Glennis" and her daughter "Donna" who did the driving and helped out!
My partner Charlotte for paying for a set of 4 plus postage as an early present for Christmas!
Also to "Sean" and "CrackerJack" who helped with info and provided me with a 2011 Metallic Tag pic for reference.
Sorry for going on but it has been a small journey to get these masks. Thanks again to ALL!
Also to Fun World who do make these masks special.. If only we could get some more Fantastic and Fearsome lines going again! ;O)
October 21st 2011: Horror Nights mask NOT FOR SALE....
Well hello again, been a short while since announcing about Fun World's measures to protect Ghostface..
Now im here to confirm something i recently came across on a forum. It was said that the Horror Nights Mask was actually FOR SALE at the Universal Studios.. Let me say now, this ISNT the case!! I recently spoke to RJ Torbert again and he confirmed my suspicions.. the masks were only made for the people who work at Universal studios Scream 4 Terror tram attraction..Some info from RJ below.. his exact words..
I guarantee you , since I was the one that had them made, only 250 SPECIAL MASKS were made for the promotion,
I sent 200 to universal, some to TWC for certain employees there, a few to WES Craven, and I have been giving some away on TWITTER here and there--------------These masks have been either signed by me on the mask on the inside or on the bag depending on what the fans have wanted------I have a few left and will eventually give them away on twitter at the right time -----They are not available in stores, they consist of thicker material, and a slow production run to make them as perfect as possible.
It was my choice to make the SPECIAL EDITION for this promotion, -------------one to have a perfect mask at universal, and to have collector editions out there for some enthusiasm etc..
So there we have it... NOT for sale anywhere, extremely limited run, i know of 5 people that have them, 3 contest winners from this site's Poem contest, and two people on Twitter i know of..
October 6th 2011: Fun World Taking Measures to protect Ghostface more....
After many years of Ghostface embedding his presence in to SCREAM movies and fans hearts there have been many imitations that are quite pathetic and an insult to our beloved icon of halloween, but fear not, after talking briefly to RJ Torbert yesterday i now have been informed that Fun World arent sitting back or ignoring these crappy masks imitations.. RJ was in New York City ALL day Wednesday working with attorney's to Protect Ghostface worldwide! Below is what RJ says..
"We still have IMITATIONS AND KNOCKOFFS STILL BEING SENT TO U.K. AUSTRALIA , CANADA, AND DUBLIN , IRELAND--------------FUN WORLD is GETTING even more aggressive than before to protect our INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. STEPS ARE BEING TAKEN TO HAVE MERCHANDISE SEIZED OFF THE COUNTERS ."
So in future im sure we wont be seeing the crappy quality rubbish littering auction sites and the like!
Good Riddance to bad things! And very rightly so in this case!
Because the Real Genuine mask is Fun World's Ghostface!
September 28th 2011: Wes talks about Scream 5... UPDATED: Wes has also spoken with other sites since this original news posting.. CLICK HERE for an interesting article on DreadCentral!
For a short while we havent heard off Wes, mainly due to having a nice summer vacation and sorting out other things like a new house being built and a comic series and he is due to give a talk about Fear on October 14th in Chicago... Shocktillyoudrop caught up with him, You can read up what he says by clicking the headline banner, Another site with info is MOVIEHOLE and MOVIEWEB! ... BloodyDisgusting also have an article!
Quote from MovieWeb article below..
“Yes. The odds are that there will be (a Scream 5). It is something that Bob Weinstein wants to do. He tends to do what he wants to do. So I am inclined to think that there will be (another sequel). Whether I will be a part of it or not? I don’t know. My contract gives me the first look. If they show me something that is really wonderful? Of course I will be a part of it.”
September 23rd 2011: Promotional Sightings-Ghostface Video!
With the upcoming horror nights at Universal Studios new videos have begun to appear, the one below was shown the other day and now via Twitter today Jef Workman (Red Dot Media) has added a new promotional clip for us all to see! Enjoy! (If you look closely you will see Fans created "Sightings" pictures there too!)
September 14th 2011: Scream 4 Blu-Ray Review..
Blu-Ray.com have a lengthy review up for the Blu-Ray of Scream 4 ! Loaded with extras and behind the scenes footage so it seems.. No mention of anything to do with the "Cast Scares" tha we always heard about in the past but i suppose there are various versions of releases we could encounter.. Click image to read the full review!
September 11th 2011: Ghostface in the clouds... (ROLL OVER THE IMAGE)
Not official news or anything to do with DVD or Blu ray releases or a possible SCREAM 5! But just a random one here! Lad called Ken e mailed this in saying Ghostface is in the clouds.Below is what Ken told me..
"It was taken last night in Westchester New York somewhere round 7pm or so... Don't remember what time, me and my friend were hanging out and she's like, is that ghostface? I'm looking around for someone in costume, then she's like no! Look up.. Took me a lil while then I was like OMG! Haha"
Nice picture, you can see one eye as such on the left and a small part of the right, the nose is very much there and a possible start to the mouth! Funny what we see sometimes... thanks Ken!
September 8th 2011: Ghostface Poem Contest WINNERS!

RJ himself doesnt know who won by name until he see's the page too!! Congratulations to ALL WINNERS!
September 4th 2011: Ghostface Deluxe Masks Listed for Halloween
Well its getting near the preferred time of year for myself at least.. Halloween!!! Only a few more weeks left now.. and already we are seeing many items of merchandise appear, Ghostface invades America pretty well in this way but UK dont always have the luck of the Americans.. we have to hunt seriously to find our "Ghostface Booty" im afraid, but its all worth it in the end..
On my forum today a member called "GhostFace0095" posted up links to masks i want.. Deluxe version.. and Deluxe Zombie.. New to us all now when it comes to actually owning them, some lucky people have won Deluxe versions already, including myself, But anyway, if you want to order one of the pictured masks then click each mask on the image as its "Hyperlinked" letting me have a link for each mask!
August 24th 2011: Scream 4 Released to UK on DVD and Blu Ray!
Well, finally after over ten years of waiting the fans here in the UK can now go out and buy the film on Blu Ray or DVD.. as nice as it is to be able to obtain it before other countries we do have the major setback here as reported in earlier headlines... NO special behind the scenes footage,Gag reel, Commentary from Wes, Neve, Hayden and Emma! No Alternate beginning or longer ending... I wait until October 4th at least to see if a newer version arrives for us overseas! For now though.. Get out there and buy the film! Ive got mine after a late night visit to ASDA!
On seeing the movie once only i did notice slight differences,
it appears that we may have the PPV version of the film with little bits of added dialogue here and there to say the least! See Scream-Trilogy Site for differences!
August 4th 2011: EXCLUSIVE Ghostface Door Cover seen HERE FIRST!
"Take your treat ..... AND RUN!"
Plain and simple, yet effective for a nice new Door Cover coming from Fun World for Halloween!
Mr RJ Torbert was kind enough to let Ghostface.co.uk reveal this new item FIRST as it hasnt appeared anywhere online as of yet, not until now.. Im sure many fans out there will be heading to stores to get one along with the usual mask and the new Deluxe version coming to us soon with the new style logo tag attached!
I thank RJ for letting this site reveal the new Door cover first!
Click image for full view of how your door could look this Halloween!
I myself might just dress as Ghostface and scare everyone who comes to the door!
As for the rest of you i hope you all have fun!
July 13th 2011: A Ghostface Figure that ISNT authorized by Fun World...
It seems that many people/companies these days think they can get away with murder when it comes to GhostFace, luckily we have RJ Torbert to take control and issue advice to us webmasters and the like to warn us of these people who take or use the Ghostface name and create something to try and sell to us without permission.. this time the company isAsmus Toys..
An unauthorized figure is listed on their site and they have been contacted about this, in the meantime we ask that loyal fans of the REAL Ghostface stay away from it and resist purchasing or trying to purchase one of these figures, although if you do see the figures pictures you will see that the accuracy isnt good at all, unlike the NECA figure which is authorized in which we should be seeing the full plastic version arriving soon! Remember, if it isnt authorized by Fun World then it isnt really Ghostface,no matter what the listing title! Only buy OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED MERCHANDISE.
April 22nd 2011: Fun world/Easter Unlimited on CNN.
I dont see many videos of news like this often, this is from April 8th and shows the mask in various forms as Allen and Stanley Geller talk Ghostface and briefly on its back story...
Good to see clips like this, it lets us see into the company slightly and just how passionate and happy Fun World are about what Ghostface did for them, as Allen says, he thought it was students at first asking about using the mask in a movie!
Sadly we dont see Mr Torbert but we all know he's busy at times, at least we will see him in the "Still Screaming" documentary!
Enjoy the video! Thanks to Steffen who linked to the video originally!!
