Over the final 25 years, there have been handful of slasher villains as properly recognized as Ghostface. The masked killer was produced preferred by the Scream franchise, which debuted in 1996. Since then, this scary face of horror has been featured in sequels, video games, Television shows, apparel collections, and toys. Now, Funko is adding to Ghostface’s blood-soaked legacy with a new horrifying Pop collection.

All 3 Ghostfaces in this set are variations of each and every other. The base Pop sees the killer in a striking pose with their signature hunting knife at the prepared, not as well dissimilar to the several chase sequences horror fans have observed all through the Scream Franchise. There will also be an Amazon exclusive version of Ghostface in the exact same position as the standard figure that glows-in-the-dark. However, the most important attraction to this slash-tastic collection is the new Ghostface Jumbo Pop that stands at a frightening 9.7 inches tall.

This is not Funko’s initial try at this genre icon, as Ghostface did get a figure in the early days of the Pop line. However, that certain figure is on the rarer side today and 1 that has been simply faked more than the years. With other horror villains like Michael Myers, Leatherface, Chucky and the Universal Monsters all acquiring new Pops in the final year, it is good to see Ghostface rejoin the scream-worthy celebration.

The Legacy of ‘Scary Movie’

While the slasher landscape was on the verge of collapse in the mid-90s thanks to the oversaturation of the genre all through the 80s, Scream and Ghostface single-handedly rescued the sub-genre with 1 deadly strike. The meta Wes Craven classic ushered in a new youthful era of slashers which incorporated I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Faculty, Urban Legend, and Valentine. However, the film also turned Scream into horror’s subsequent hot franchise. <em>Scream 2</em> promptly followed the original in 1997, getting equally praised for its commentary on sequels and escalated thrills. After this, the franchise would hit a handful of bumps in the road with Scream 3 released in 2000 and Scream 4 in 2011.

While each installments have turn into cult classics in their personal correct, critically they weren’t observed as fresh and new as the preceding two films. The franchise would then obtain new life with Scream (2022), continuing the story of the most important final girl, Sidney Prescott, when expertly introducing a new batch of characters/actors for the subsequent generation of Ghostface fans to latch onto. The latter of which incorporated Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who have gone on to turn into modern day horror royalty. Mirroring the original’s path to a sequel, Scream VI would stick to a year later in 2023 with the fresh setting of New York City to kill in. Following up the important and monetary results of the final two films, Scream 7 is lastly back on track following some disappointing setbacks and story adjustments with Neve Campbell returning to the function of Sidney. That signifies Ghostface will quickly be returning to the huge screen.

There’s no release date or window for Scream 7 however, but it is rumored to start out shooting in the fall. Original franchise screenwriter Kevin Williamson is also returning. This time in the director’s chair. While we wait for far more Scream updates, you can at present pre-order the standard and jumbo Ghostface Pops on Entertainment Earth’s web site and the glow-in-the-dark Ghostface on Amazon’s web site. All 3 figures are set to be released later this summer season.
