NEW Vinyl release set for ‘Scream’ and ‘Scream 2’ Scores
Well its been a while since i have listened to the Scores from Scream and Scream 2, or any of the films actually.. a new item is confirmed as coming in future, (September 16th listed) which is a ‘Bone White’ Vinyl pressing of the first two Scream Movies scores… we have artwork representing the film with GhostFace, and a phone layout in his mouth, and the eerie shape of a house in the foreground with a body hanging from a tree! We all know who that is dont we!
The website where you can pre order this release is Bull Moose – Scream and Scream 2 Score on 180-gram Vinyl.. in ‘Bone White’.
(At the time of posting, the link for the Bull Moose site did time out when trying to view the page, as of NOW, JULY 14th, it works, BUT…. The LP only ships to people in the USA.)
UPDATE: JULY 11th…..Recent tweets from myself to ‘Bull Moose’ on Twitter…
@BullMoose @BullMooseVinyl is your site only viewable in certain countries?? Been trying to view details on the scream 1&2 bone white vinyl.
@Ghostfacecouk @BullMooseVinyl Sorry, but that is true. We don’t ship out of the US, so huge ranges of IPs are blocked. Apologies for that.

I also spoke with RJ Torbert recently in regards to this project, they have been working on it for 5 months he said… One fan already has one on the way to them for the gesture of sending a $50 cheque to Fun World last week.. There is one other i know of at this time which RJ has…
The two additional pictures of the sealed album were sent to me from RJ Torbert… Thanks RJ!

Scream Soundtrack LP with GHOST FACE white vinyl (bone white) ready to order on amazon. http://amzn.to/29zy5Tv officially licensed
So.. there we have it.. Now its NOT LIMITED to ONLY fans in the USA being able to buy this amazing collectors piece..
Today’s post comes straight via a fan on Twitter, who posted a link to Ebay… What we have is a Genuine Screen Used GhostFace mask as used in the first movie.. SCREAM.. Its a well known fact that many items from the first movie are seen less than the other films.. especially with masks used… So have a look for yourself.. and if you have some savings that have been waiting for a special mask to appear.. well, this is it.. On the Masks page here you see pictures from Nate Ragon’s collections in the bottom of the ‘Movie Masks’ section… On Nate’s masks the mouths are coloured in, as is the one in the Auction… Click Banner or image below for the Auction link! Nate Ragon has since confirmed it used to be his mask…
Seller’s Estimate: USD 8,000 – 12,000
1374. Screen used Ghostface mask from Scream. (Dimension Films, 1996) Mask of the iconic Ghostface killer created by Wes Craven, inspired by artist Edvard Munch’s painting “The Scream.” Crafted of rubber with sewn-on cowl of black cloth. Measures 12 in. Comes with a signed LOA by Bill Perry, former Webmaster for Wes Craven’s official website, who obtained the mask for promotional purposes immediately after filming wrapped. In the letter, Perry states in part: “Tony Cecere, stunt coordinator on the film, pointed out several modifications done to the mask and identified it as one of the masks worn by a stuntman on the film. Very few people are aware that Ghostface is played largely by stuntmen, using actors mainly for the ‘reveal’ scenes at the end of the film. This particular mask has the eye hole refitted with a broader mesh so the stunt players could see better…” Ghostface masks from the first Scream film are rarely encountered. In fine condition. $8,000 – $12,000
Im going back in time a little here with referring to a news article back in January of this year.. but it seems a Scream 5 was more of a non starter for quite a while now, yet some fans seem to still hope for it.
Back in 2010 after Scream 4 was moving along nicely there was plenty of talk (also in 2008 too) about Kevin writing a new trilogy.. Sadly with Scream 4 not doing as hoped for by many of us at the box office we never got a Scream 5, and ended up with only a dodgy crappy TV series instead.. Which is typical really.. anyway.. Back in January (2016) Kevin spoke up again about his thoughts on it, and also briefly mentions Wes Craven too.. Kevin talked to the LATimes and spoke about many things, he also attended a Q&A at a screening celebrating the 20th anniversary of SCREAM… along with Matthew Lillard.
So, to all fans out there that continue to ask about ‘Scream 5’… we now know the answer… it seems likely that this one wont ever happen, yes it was the same with Scream 4… but with the original plans of a new trilogy squashed sometime ago now, and the recent loss of Mr Craven.. we have to say .. Why? .. because Wes and Kevin were two very important elements in the genius mesh that made these films go so well in their structure and production.. Kevin wasn’t as involved as we would have hoped with Scream 4, and i think it shows in the final movie too, just as we did with Scream 3 back in 1999/2000. Where as SCREAM 1 & 2 were more High quality because they were both fully involved in the creative process.
The FULL article can be read by clicking the banner above..
“I know I don’t lean into it or seek it out the way I used to,” he says.
Craven died August 2015 of brain cancer.
“That hit hard,” says Williamson. “You think of your own mortality and your own life. He was such a generous, sweet man, and it all began with him. He was so graceful and generous with me, the way he let me in, in a way in which other directors have never let me in.”
With a “Scream” TV series going into its second season this April on MTV, could the film series go on without Craven?
In 2010, as “Scream 4” was in development with Williamson writing once again, ideas were swirling for fifth and sixth films in the series. The potential of those concepts, however, never came to fruition. Now Williamson gently brushes away the idea of making another film.
“With Wes gone,” he muses, “do we need a ‘Scream 5’?
“The film is so beautiful where it is in my life. I don’t feel the need to go there again.”
For quite a while now RJ Torbert has been writing various tweets about the next Powers and Johnson novel, and saying that long time GhostFace fan ‘Rob Mac‘ was going to be announcing it.. Today, we saw that happen… Rob was given the honor of doing the announcement by RJ and Rob was definitely surprised when he was first told, here were all are now.. months later and the day is here.. You can find out more on how to obtain a new book on the link below..
Book synopsis NO MERCY: A Powers and Johnson Novel is the continuing story of two detectives, who with the help of their boss, Det Lt Cronin, solved The Face of Fear Investigation (from Torbert’s first book The Face of Fear).
As with anything in life, there are repercussions with the way we handle “life” and the way the law is interpreted. There is a difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. There are those who do not forget and want revenge. Therefore, when it comes to revenge, there is NO MERCY.
A plot to eliminate the Priority 1 Task Force has been planned by placing bounties on those who were involved in The Face of Fear Investigation. Powers and Johnson are on the case to find out who is behind the revenge.
Ghost Face has his own plans for revenge, and is also showing NO MERCY.
I must say…. Jace Lash did another Excellent job on the Art work again!
April 19th UPDATE : GOOD NEWS FOR UK FANS….AND OTHER COUNTRIES NO DOUBT.. !
After speaking to the main UK distributor i was put in touch with another site who had also expressed an interest in ordering the Silver Ghostface mask.. after a phone call i discovered someone who had the same goals as me with regards to GhostFace masks and getting the particular types that we wouldn’t normally be able to find easily in the UK… types like the Metallic’s, 25 yr Silver version, TV Series types.. and whatever else may be attainable.. the website that you can get in touch with has been newly added on my links page very recently.. its ‘Madabouthorror.co.uk’…. Click image below..
I STRONGLY suggest if you are a UK fan (Or even a fan in another country) who wants the 25 year Ghostface type then get in touch with them asap…
The link on the image below takes you straight to the Silver GhostFace masks page there..
Its also a possibility that ‘Karnival-House’ (linked on the Costumes page) may be getting some newer merchandise too for masks..
PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT IF YOU ARE A FAN IN ANOTHER COUNTRY THEN SHIPPING MAY COST MORE THAN THE MASK’S VALUE.. BUT THEN AGAIN IF YOU LOVE GHOSTFACE AS MUCH AS ME THEN YOU’LL ORDER THE MASK ANYWAY..
Mad About Horror are the UK’s leading online retailer of Horror Masks, Collectibles and Halloween Animated Props. Importers of Officially Licensed products from Ghoulish Productions, Trick or Treat Studios and other top US design studios. Stockists of Halloween Masks of the most popular Movies and TV Shows from around the world.
Well.. here we are again… ever since fans knew the 25th Anniversary Silver mask was on its way i have had loads of questions from many of them, on the site contact link here.. and via Social media on Facebook.. and all of them ask the same thing! Including myself!
When is the mask coming out exactly? …… How much will it be? …. Is the UK getting it too?……
Well the answers are still vague… i can only ASSUME that its going to be out for Halloween, because RJ Torbert told me people should be ordering NOW… and 2016 is the ONLY year these versions will be made.
And with retailers ordering now, its seems pretty obvious its in time for Halloween.
Cost… Well, its still unknown at this time.. whether its a U.S Dollar price, or a UK price.. or any other countries price.. We dont know.. I spoke with a distributor and even they are awaiting more info..
WHO is getting it?
Well, USA is more or less always the main country to seek newer GhostFace merchandise whether its an anniversary mask or a Metallic mask.. its always heavily ordered in its home country.
What about the UK?…. Good question, well i asked RJ Torbert this on the phone a very short while ago, and he basically said.. ‘if its ordered it will be made..’ he then advised me to get to any shops i know who have GhostFace items and see if they are ordering any.. so go to your local fancy dress or novelties store and get asking.. as i say above… NOW is the time retailers are ordering… so get to a store you know that maybe has stocked GhostFace in the past and get asking.. maybe even try ASDA again if you are in the UK..
ASDA haven’t done any GhostFace items since 2013 but you never know… if its in demand, it sells..
SCREAM TV Series mask..
Well it seems from looking at Fun World’s website that whoever wants the TV Series masks and merchandise that there are newer items added in the range this year.. CLICK HERE to see them!
NEW GhostFace items?
Well i suggest you check out the link HERE… and maybe look through some downloadable items on Fun Worlds page… you can see what retailers have a choice of… I did also hear that the Metallic GhostFace masks should be back in ‘Savers’ again this year too.. 😉
Until next time… (or when more info comes) ill catch you later.
Tim (GhostFace)

Well here we are again then… a little late this year on the date but basically the end of November and start of December resemble the birth of GhostFace.co.uk, all that way back in 2006!
Whilst in the later part of November and start of December many see this as the start of Christmas coming, i tend to ignore that now, and see it as my websites birthday more.. I remember when the site was first in existence as a ‘Proboards forum’ (Which is still online) i remember the fans that did visit saying that IF a ‘SCREAM 4’ was made the must-have characters were always to be Sidney, Dewey and Gale.. otherwise there was no point, the other two key factors always mentioned were Wes and Kevin.. and only around a year and a half after going online the announcement came in July 2008 that the film was finally Green-lighted! The rest is history now! So… here we are now.. in 2015.. and still online.. what has 2015 given us ?!! Some good things, and sadly a major bad thing too!
2015 – Good and Bad
Well, with it being 2015 many of us that also like the ‘Back to the Future’ films saw it as a celebration of the dates that Doc and Marty time traveled to in the Delorean all the way back in 1989! And while Hoverboards DO exist in a capacity, its not as expected, or as they were portrayed in the film is it!
But thats life!
With regards to Scream & GhostFace fans we have a sadder reason now for remembering 2015.. Wes… Whilst the movie worlds of Horror and Thrillers (and sometimes romantic stories) suffers a major loss of a great director… a major loss!! In late August we all go the nasty news that he had sadly passed on… and i saw many things online in relation to this sad loss from fans..
Wes Craven – 1939 – 2015 / the man he was..
From the start of Horror movies in my life i always liked Wes’s work.. Mainly because the first film of his i ever saw that was a horror was SCREAM… for years previous i hated Horror, couldn’t stand it one bit.. i remember going round to friends houses in younger years and seeing their older brothers and sisters watching parts of Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees films.. from the very little i could manage to watch (i was only around 7-8 yrs old at the time) i remember thinking that some killers seemed indestructible, no matter what happened to them they kept coming back, and even as a young child then it put me off Horror.. plus it made me paranoid about walking back home at night! So Wes did so his job right in that respect, i only saw about 5 minutes of a Freddy film and i couldn’t take no more.. I still haven’t watched them until this day!
With regards to meeting Wes though i never did sadly.. i have seen many fans post up pictures of themselves with him and reading how they met him, whether it was in an area he was filming, or at the Scream 4 premiere which was good for them too… but the closest i ever got was only via Twitter, he had Followed me in the last year and actually wished me a happy birthday back in June.. I had heard from RJ Torbert recently after i asked RJ about Wes ever viewing my site.. As far as RJ knew he said he had been on the site here.. So i hope he liked what he saw and read..
One thing i did notice about Wes was what the cast members and many others who worked with him said too.. that being that he was REALLY a good man, a nice man, a sweet man, and not the psycho or mad man that people may have thought of him due to his ability to scare us all in his films.. From what i saw in recent years during Scream 4 being made (and on many DVD extras on the Scream movies) it was true, Wes was a genuine nice man, he was someone who had mastered his craft in the movie world, and remained one hell of a man in normal life, his love of birds and other hobbies shown this throughout some of his online media and interviews and even his own website.. I wont forget the presence on Twitter during Scream 4.. many fans were talking to him whilst he was in between working.. pictures of him on his phone tweeting, or playing Doodle Jump!…. i never did beat the score he put up! One thing i always remember though is the pic he posted of a tired GhostFace! In between takes he snapped a picture of ‘Dane Farwell’ as GhostFace sat on a rooftop.. Poor chap looked knackered! | Pictured Below…
I think Wes knew what he wanted when it came to all the Scream films with the portrayal of Ghostface and all the characters we saw… I will always have him to thank AND all others involved in the making of these SCREAM movies.. They gave me a mask and icon i love! Its mostly shown in this site i think..
Rest in peace to Wes though.. i honestly hope we all go somewhere up above after this life, and if we do, i hope to meet him up there..
2015 for Ghostface
Well, as the year started we got yet another type of mask from Alan Geller, the ‘Smoldering / Eerie Embers’ mask… (Now on the masks page too) .. We also saw the return of more Metallic Ghostface masks.. ordered again by the ‘savers’ store chain..
In this year also GhostFace reached a new age, an age of 24, so next year i hope will see some type of anniversary masks i hope.. as 25 is a milestone for any type of mask! Particular one that’s so well known!
Scream Tv Series – July 2015
Well after much discussion online between fans it finally did show its face to us.. literally… The MTV Scream series made it presence known at the start of July and weeks previously in the form of clips posted on YouTube by the MTV account there.. we saw Trailers and a ‘first 8 minutes’ clip debut.. Some fans hated it, some fans loved it, and some didn’t even bother watching it.. I myself wasn’t too keen after seeing a new mask created for it, but true to my word i did eventually watch every episode to give it a fair chance and to get the story completed…
My verdict was that it was ok but it didn’t have the authentic ‘Scream feel’ to it like we saw in the movies.. and that it was a total different world in some ways in ‘Lakewood’.. i do remember though, reading online that TWC wanted to keep the movie world and Tv Series world separate.. so that gave a reason for a new mask creation… at the end of the day i think the SCREAM name maybe helped it get viewers, but in my opinion it could have been named ANYTHING else in relation to Teens, School life, Mass murders, or psycho killers… the fact it was called ‘SCREAM the tv series’ didn’t make much difference to me.. i know of fans from the movies who think of the series as non existent because it doesn’t come close to the quality of the films..
Series 2..
Whilst there is positive and negative points on the series there was a green light for a second series.. time will tell as to what happens and if the ‘Brandon James’ mask reappears…
Arnold Scream – the end of an era.
Well.. as time went on from me creating this site in late 2006 i had always wanted to put my old video footage online for anyone to see… as time went on we had many trailers and fan films go online.. it was originally known between friends in it as ‘Scream filming’ and later got the name of ‘Arnold Scream’ as many of us were from, or lived in Arnold at the time of making the clips, all of the time it was view-able i made it clear that it wasn’t anything serious and was all for fun.. anyone that has seen the films will know this because the acting is bad.. its just friends messing about with a GhostFace mask, thats it..!! The website for the films came along on December 7th 2009… and was there for people to read details and see locations for what we were doing in the films.. the last ever footage i did for the films was back in June 2010.. and since then the site remained online for anyone interested to view.. now though its up for renewal but im letting it go… it was always there for a temporary period anyway, and this year i thought it had been online long enough.. it expired on December 7th 2015 and will no doubt be gone very soon after this post is read by some.. the clips on YouTube will remain (mostly trailers) otherwise its off to the Internet Archive site to view the site in previous years.. I have added a trailer below of the first film which i think sums up the basic description of Arnold Scream.. that being one of friends having fun with GhostFace.. and in this trailer that’s exactly what you see!
Well, that’s it for now… I hope you all have a good Christmas and Happy New Year!
Until January.. See you later!
GhostFace (Tim)
Hello again… earlier this year (back in June) i asked RJ Torbert as to whether the GhostFace Metallic masks would be making another return this year.. to which he answered YES!!
The only trouble with that is the UK fans and of course fans in any other country that ISNT the USA then has to try and find a trusted USA based fan to source them for them if they desire them to be added to their collections.. But what if you dont know any fans?
Well, over the past few years i have got some via a few sources, fans i know over there, RJ Torbert himself, or from a Savers store you can get in contact with via Email.. (Or their Facebook page).
After seeing pictures online recently i can confirm that they ARE back in the same stores as they were last year… namely ‘Savers’, or ‘Value village’ in some areas… Whilst these stores arent FULLY nationwide in the USA we can still get in touch with the store a couple of my own sets came from in the past…
Details on stores are on the icon below (Click to Download)
And the shop i got mine from in the past was based in Nova Scotia, Canada.. i e mailed the store manager ‘Reg’ at the time and he sorted me a set out and got them sent over (Charges applie of course)
That same store has a Facebook page, linked below too.. Try your luck and see if you can obtain a set, otherwise maybe get in touch with some USA fans…
PLEASE NOTE: If you do find a store willing to help you obtain a set then its likely you may be contacted by their head office to pursue the transaction and take payment by a credit card over the phone.
Yesterday the well known Horror site Bloody-Disgusting had a headline go up about the much talked about (Mostly between fans) SCREAM 5…. and it seems that TWC have no plans for it at all now, and plan to let the TV Series continue the legacy… If this is still the case in a year or so then its not good. Many fans online have expressed much interest in doing a fifth film but to no avail, many of them saying a ‘SCREAM 5’ instead of a TV Series was wanted not so long ago… it seems we got what most didn’t want when it comes to the fans.. FULL ARTICLE link on the banner! Info from BD below…
‘When unconfirmed news of Scream 5 hit the web back in May, we did some digging and discovered the disheartening news that there was absolutely no internal chatter of a sequel at Dimension’s headquarters.
Now, on the heels of the MTV series premiere (June 30th), Bob Weinstein, co-runner of the Weinstein Co., tells the WSJ that there will be no more Scream films. Ghostface’s legacy will live on through the new MTV series…’
The site quotes Weinstein as saying:
…there won’t be any more ‘Scream’ movies, and that MTV is the right place for the property to find its next life. It’s like putting an art-house movie in an art-house theater—where the teens reside is MTV.
