One big difference between the small screen version of Scream and the movies is the killer's mask. Described as a mixture between the headgear of Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, and Ghostface, the mask from the Scream TV series has been revealed.
EW unveiled the first look at the murderer's mask in MTV's Scream TV series. Empty eye holes and a gaping mouth show some relation to the iconic Ghostface look, but this mask is also held down by slightly visible straps and retains a more human-like look with its realistic facial dimensions.
With the Scream TV series premiering on June 30th, we'll have to wait until later this summer to see who's hidden beneath this new mask and find out their motives (if any) for murder.
Speaking with EW, Scream film series director and Scream TV series executive producer Wes Craven mentioned that the different design of the killer's mask is linked to the underlying story, so this isn't just a random look.
"What starts as a YouTube video going viral, soon leads to problems for the teenagers of Lakewood and serves as the catalyst for a murder that opens up a window to the town's troubled past."
The Scream TV series stars Willa Fitzgerald, Bex Taylor-Klaus, John Karna, Carlson Young, Amadeus Serafini, Bobby Campo, Connor Weil, and Joel Gretsch.
The show’s pilot is helmed by Jamie Travis (Faking It) from a script by Jay Beattie and Dan Dworkin (Criminal Minds, Revenge). Dimension Films and The Weinstein Co. are backing the project, with Harvey and Bob Weinstein executive producing along with Craven, Marianne Maddalena, and Cathy Konrad.
