Scream 7: The Legal Battle Over Ghostface's Iconic Mask (2026)

As the highly anticipated 'Scream 7' hits theaters, its studios are locked in a legal battle over the rights to the iconic Ghostface's face. The franchise's producers, Paramount and Spyglass, are suing SFX studio Alterian Ghost Factory, claiming that Alterian has been 'intentionally sleeping on its rights' to the 'Ghostface' mask for 30 years. The controversy centers around the mask's origin story, with Alterian arguing that it created the underlying design first, while Paramount believes Fun World deserves Alterian's ire. The legal fight may continue beyond the film's release date of February 27, leaving fans to wonder who will ultimately own the rights to Ghostface's face. So, who do you think should own the rights to the iconic mask? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
