SCREAM (1996) - Billy Loomis' (Skeet Ulrich) and Stu Macher's (Matthew Lillard) Screen-Matched Ghostface Costume - Billy Loomis' (Skeet Ulrich) and Stu Macher's (Matthew Lillard) Ghostface costume from Wes Craven's Scream. Billy and Stu donned their shared Ghostface costume as they hunted Loomis' girlfriend Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and her friends on the anniversary of her mother's murder. This mask screen-matches to several different scenes due to the unique dimpling under the one eye, which was the result of a factory fluke. Most notably, it screen-matches to the first time in the series that Sidney is attacked by Ghostface, as well as their climactic final confrontation, leading to fans dubbing this mask the "Sidney Attack" mask.

Scream won various awards, including three Saturn Awards in 1997, and has been praised for its originality, meta commentary, humor, and ensemble cast, which were instrumental to the film's success. This costume became the final design-choice for all later Scream costumes and remains one of the most recognized characters in horror films with an enduring legacy.

This iconic costume consists of one soft glow-in-the-dark PVC mask and a custom-made sparkly lurex robe with hood and built-in gloves. The mask was originally created by Fun World DIV for its Fantastic Faces/Fearsome Faces line. This mask has black mesh covered eyes, a blackened mouth and nose, and features the "Fun World Div" debossed on the backside of the long chin. Additionally the mouth features matte black tape, a temporary modification which was utilized by Peter Deming, a director of photography, for scenes in which the mouth needed to appear dull, whereas when the mouth needed to appear shiny they applied a layer of chapstick. The presence of the tape indicates the mask was last used in a scene where it needed a dull mouth. Attached to the mask is a black cotton shroud with a self-adhesive strip sewn into the top to secure the robe's hood, which has the second strip sewn onto the interior. The pull-over robe has a one-piece front and is made of a unique woven fabric which contains silver-colored threads to give the appearance of sparkles. The sparkles ultimately helped to visually distinguish the costume from dark backgrounds and was unique to the early Scream films. Furthermore, this robe features a smaller hood that contains a rigid plastic board sewn in to keep the shape of the crown, two tie strings at the neck, and a pair of gloves attached to the sleeves with a pinched back to give them a slimmer fit. The sleeves feature a more square shape with zig-zagged edges. This costume exhibits a buildup of grime and discoloration on the mask, while the robe exhibits frayed threads from unfinished edges.

Estimate: $50,000 - 100,000
