Mortal Kombat 1is gearing up to introduce Ghostface and franchise co-creatorEd Boon is celebrating Halloween by showing off some new footage of the masked killer in action. The haunting image of the Ghostface mask has helped make theScreamfranchise one of themost iconic horror seriesof all time, so it stands to reason thatMortal Kombatwould want the murderer to join its roster.
