Skull Mask is a mix of several classic slasher killers. In aspect, he is heavily inspired on Ghostface. His concept of stalking his victims as well as the setting being in Halloween is a nod to Michael Myers. Finally, his main skill being appearing near to his victims in the most unlikely places is a classic slasher trope popularized by Jason Voorhees. Despite having many inspirations on the Scream franchise, the Skull Mask disguise made appearance in the original Fear Street books, specifically Halloween Night II. Not much is known about his life before he became one of the killers other than that he recently graduated from High School and was an employee at Shadyside Mall who worked an unknown position. Once he entered and was trained by the Brotherhood of Darkness, he became a cold blooded murderer who killed anyone in his path (or anyone his fellow killer friends wanted him to kill).
