Roman Bridger is the half-brother of Scream protagonist Sidney Prescot.

latest



Roman is unassuming and ordinary. Very few people even considered him as a suspect. He just seemed like another hotheaded, self-centered, spoiled Hollywood director. He was also rarely seen, so people didn't think of him as a suspect, because he was almost always in the background. So it came as a great shock to the audience when it was revealed that he was the killer.

Almost unanimously regarded as the most efficient and intelligent Ghostface.

Roman is actually quite a funny character at first. So many people thought it was actually tragic that he was revealed as the killer, because they enjoyed the comic relief he brought to the film. Roman seemed like a fun guy.

Only Ghostface to attempt to make Sidney think she was going insane, which very nearly worked.

Attempted to accomplish this by covering himself with a fake Maureen Prescott body bag and use her voice to talk to Sidney, which seriously messed with her head, proving that Roman was the only Ghostface that tormented Sidney not just physically, but also mentally. It is possible that Sidney merely imagined the film set chase with Ghostface just like she may have done in Scream 2, but it is more likely that Roman actually did attack her.

Has the highest kill count of the Scream series (and killers), at nine. Roman's victims were Christine Hamilton, Cotton Weary, Sarah Darling, Steven Stone, Tom Prinze, Angelina Tyler, Tyson Fox, Jennifer Jolie and John Milton. He attempted to kill Sidney Prescott as well, presumably saving Gale and Dewey for last.

Gale and Dewey were both shocked to discover that Roman was the killer. They have not had this reaction with other killers.
Jennifer and Roman

Didn't leave any fingerprints or DNA on anything. Other killers have left behind masks or fingerprints.


Only Ghostface to use hostages to manipulate victims.

Only Ghostface to deliberately leave clues to his motivation, photographs of Maureen Prescott.

Broke into the Woodsboro Police Station and attempted to steal Sidney's file.

He is the only Ghostface to act alone.

Killed bodyguard Steven Stone with ease.

Pretty much the only redeemable thing about Scream 3.

I agree, he was a great killer. A lot of people thought he was whiny and the weakest killer of the series (pre-S4), but I thought he was pretty effective. I didn't like when he killed Stone, though. I thought that was a tad unbelievable with how he turned the tables, but whatever.

The voice changer was really stupid (way too futuristic for the year 2000), but I guess it worked within the Scream universe.

Now I have to go watch most his scenes again. Dammit.

edit: Oh, you forgot to mention how he was the only killer to use a fucking bulletproof vest. Like, how did it never occur to anyone else to do that?

Roman also had arguably the hardest job of keeping up normal appearances, since he was semi-successful at his job, was around lots of executives, and handled projects that cost millions of dollars as a film director. And he didn't have a fall guy or backup doing all of this. And he manipulated the Scream universe from the beginning, like he was the Loki of these movies.

I pretty much lost my interest on Scream with the sequels, the first one is the only one I remember really well, I'm sure Wes (RIP) didn't want to have more.
