What is the Scream Cult on TikTok? Ghostface trend goes viral

TikTok ‘cults’ are back again, and this time people are using an image of the iconic character Ghostface as their profile pictures, ahead of the release of the new ‘Scream’ movie in January 2022.

TikTok is home to some of the internet’s most bizarre trends, and perhaps one of the most viral is the concept of ‘cults.’

When people participate in cults TikTok, they will usually all change their profile picture to be the same iconic picture of one person or thing, and they use these profile pictures to easily find others who are participating in the trend.

Participants will then follow hundreds, even thousands, of other accounts in the cult, and people end up gaining a huge number of new followers this way.

Cult subjects have ranged from hamsters to Lana Del Rey.

In the past, we’ve seen cults for anime character Vegeta, singer Lana Del Rey, and even hamsters, and the latest in the long list of popular cults comes just in time for the spooky season.

The ‘Scream’ cult is seeing users change their profile picture to the same image of the character Ghostface from the Scream franchise.
