Starting Oct. 18, 2021, TikTok and Paramount Pictures allow users to choose the eerie voice of horror icon and Scream killer Ghostface as an option for the text-to-speech feature.

Now, you can use Ghostface's voice in your videos and keep the same frightening tone, or you can include the voice for comedic effect in your sketches and dance videos. Either way, you're still basking in the legacy of Scream.

So, how can we get Ghostface's voice on our TikToks?

Drew Barrymore and David Arquette promoted the feature on TikTok.

To promote this exciting new feature, TikTok invited original 1996 Scream cast members Drew Barrymore and David Arquette to try it out.

In Drew's TikTok, we see her pick up a phone only to hear Ghostface say, "Hello, Drew Barrymore; it's not the '90s anymore. Put the landline away! I'm in your TikTok." A nervous-looking Drew picks up her iPhone and immediately declares she's dating a football player who is really big and is going to make a TikTok that beats Ghostface's TikTok.

Unfortunately, Ghostface knows she's lying after having tuned in to her daytime talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show. After a quick, humorous plug for Drew's show, Ghostface asks her if David Arquette is on TikTok and leaves.

Rather than posting a video to his own account, David Arquette addressed the new text-to-speech option on TikTok's official account. David's TikTok opens with him addressing all users, saying, "Hey, TikTok, do you like scary movies?" Before he can continue, Ghostface interrupts and asks him, "Who do you think you are? I ask the questions around here."

Confused, David says, "Hey, where did that come from? I know that voice." He then looks into the screen and begins messing with his phone in hopes of reaching the killer. Ghostface adds, "I hope you like scary movies. You're in one" before the TikTok abruptly cuts off. Haunting!
