* Mrs. Loomis all throughout the ending after she's revealed to be the main Ghostface. She ''never'' blinks as she's threatening Sidney and ranting about how she wants Sidney dead for killing Billy. All throughout before she starts chasing Sidney, Mrs. Loomis has this manic, almost rictus look on her face that's completely unnatural and totally deranged.

* Mickey is possibly one of the scariest Ghostfaces of all time, with only Jill surpassing him. He is revealed to have been a SerialKiller even before dressing up as Ghostface. While other Ghostfaces who acted as a FalseFriend to Sidney showed signs of amoral behavior even before TheReveal, he never drops the facade of being a NiceGuy till after the fact. He also shows a disturbing amount of intelligence and manipulation such as tricking two girls into thinking their boyfriends are murderers. Despite all this, he is criminally insane such as hijacking a car from two cops and ramming it on purpose, nearly getting himself killed in the process, and is fully aware of how insane he really is. He also proves to be incredibly difficult to kill, recovering unrealistically quickly from the car crash to kill Hallie and survives being shot multiple times.

** Hell, even if they didn't it's scary. Imagine being ''in'' the audience. You're watching what looks like an amazing performance, thinking "Wow, this chick's a great actor!"... and then you realize that her screams sound a little too pained to be fake, and that blood in her mouth won't stop pouring. You were just applauding someone ''dying in front of you''.

** That's not even the real nightmarish part. The real nightmare-inducing thing is just how utterly destroyed he was. There was absolutely '''NO REASON''' he had to go down like that. ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill indeed.
*** FridgeBrilliance for why he was though: He had just insulted Billy Loomis while talking with Ghostface. Who killed him? Mrs. Loomis. Of course she was pissed someone insulted her son.

* Derek's death, while less elaborate, is horrifying when you think about it from his point of view. He's helpless and tied up in a room with the killer, and the only person who can free him is too afraid to do so as she's been gaslit into thinking he's a killer too.

** The only good thing about that scene is that when the audience found out that she was actually dying, their faces went from being callous to being concerned. They thought it was a publicity stunt until later, but when they discovered it was an actual occurrence, it was too late to do anything. Imagine going through the same situation, but the audience knowing that it is not part of the show.
