Timothy Olyphant as Mickey Altieri in Scream 2 (1997).

Basically… you gotta cryogenically freeze his head, decapitate him, or blow him up.

He went along with being Ghostface because his Daddy said so, hes the Kendall Roy of Ghostfaces.

The fact that becoming Ghostface wasnt Ethans idea shows in his lack of enthusiasm (and kills).

So you have to die, Sid.

Astute viewers may have drawn a connection from Ghostface’s skill with a gun in this scene and Detective Bailey’s law enforcement background.

Those are the rules.

New movie, new franchise.
