If I ever kill someone, I just want to kill them as me, not Ghostface. When they do that, it's like the ultimate compliment.Īnd you're never the least bit tempted to prank call someone as Ghostface and fuck up their whole day? I've had people come up to me and ask me where I can buy the voice box that the Scream killer used, not realising it was all naturally from me. My career has been wonderful, and it's so nice to meet people and find out how your work has affected them. It's true that I’ve been offered more villain voice roles – I recently played this murderous kitten! But villains are the most interesting characters to play, so I can't complain. What's it like having the scariest voice in horror? Like, do you ever feel boxed in? Have you been typecast as a result of Ghostface? He speaks quite deeply to this generation. Even you! He is the monster that lurks behind the id. It could be your brother, sister, mother or father. That taps into social media, where people say horrible things and can hide behind a mask. If you really think about it, there's a lot of people right now doing horrible things but behind this mask. Like, the underrated fourth film had something really interesting to say about the links between murder and the online world. They all have a really interesting social message, which gives their actual horror this extra layer. Why do you think the films still resonate with them so deeply? You go to a lot of conventions and meet Scream fans. However, Wes clearly liked what I was doing so kept me for all the films. I remember, when our scene was over, Wes had his hand on her shoulder and kept asking, 'Are you OK?' The plan was for me to work with her during the scene and then they'd dub a different voice in the studio. If I could see the actors shaking I knew I was pushing the right buttons.ĭrew was definitely terrified. I remember I said something not in the script, like: 'Have you ever felt a knife cut through human flesh and scrape the bone underneath.' Another one I was proud of was when I told Neve that I would cut out her eyelids so she couldn't blink while I stabbed her to death. Like, it isn't easy! He let me improvise so I could be really creative. You have to be a great actor to create a believable character just by using your voice. Some people think voice actors aren't real actors, but Wes understood that they definitely are. What was it like working with Wes Craven? Michael is Michael, Jason is Jason, but Ghostface could be absolutely anyone. That's part of the psychology of Ghostface. It's like an old time radio the most horrible image is the one you create in your own mind. They wanted to keep me away so the other actors didn't have a visual image to associate with this weird voice they were hearing. It's why they never introduced me to the rest of the cast when filming. Remember, I am their biggest fear come to life. I guess that added this layer of mystery and voyeurism, and it really freaks them out. I never met any of the actors in the films, but they all knew I was watching them, hidden somewhere nearby.

My view was what the killer's would have been. I was watching Drew through the window while I was on this cell phone that was completely mic'd up.

The boyfriend is tied up outside the French windows and there's windows either side of that room too, right? I was outside one of those windows, crouching in the shadows and taking shelter under a canopy because it was raining outside. When you see the scene where Drew Barrymore gets murdered, picture the room. I think a lot of people would assume your voice was dubbed in later, but you were really on the set, right? I wanted the voice to change colour as Ghostface goes in for the kill, sort of like a cat does.

It's like a cat that seems sweet and playful, but then all of a sudden the paw comes down onto the mouse's tail. There's this texture and erotic colour to his voice. It was a wonderful experience, and so much fun! I knew it had to be a sexy voice and something interesting enough to keep the girl on the phone, even though she clearly wants to hang up.

It must have been strange voicing a serial killer, no?
