Here is the identity of Ghostface in MK1!
Ghostface of the Scream film franchise has finally made their long-awaited debut in Mortal Kombat (MK1). The keyword is “their” because anyone familiar with the series knows that Ghostface is more than one person. Over the six feature-length films, several characters have donned the iconic mask and robe equipped with a voice changer, hunting knife, and other weapons. With Ghostface joining the MK1 roster, many fans are wondering who is behind the mask. Here is the answer.
Billy Loomis is the primary Ghostface in MK1
Billy Loomis, portrayed by Skeet Ulrich in the first Scream movie, leads a trio ofGhostface charactersin MK1. Although he was the primary killer in that film, he wasn’t alone. Matthew Lillard’s Stu Macher represented the second half of the twisted tandem. However, inMortal Kombat 1, Billy Loomis is the character behind the mask.
NetherRealm Studios worked with Skeet Ulrich for motion capture and utilized his facial likeness for attacks like Fatal Blows, Fatalities, and Brutalities. One of Ghostface’s intro dialogues references Matthew Lillard’s character, but his likeness does not appear in the game.
However, as mentioned above, Billy Loomis is only one of three Ghostfaces in MK1. The other two are a pair of 3D-era Mortal Kombat characters.
