The silent brainchild of Ice Nine Kills' frontman Spencer Charnas... or is it?

Many are speculating that Spencer himself dons the killer's mask.

But there is another theory floating around that The Silence is a copycat killer - taking inspiration from Spencer's musical performances, and framing him for the murder of his own fiance.

Or perhaps the Silence is merely a deranged, jealous rival, who wishes to see Spencer's reputation crushed.

The Silence has never been publicly spotted.
