The identity of the masked killer in the Scream movies has been accidentally revealed on a late-night U.S. TV show.

Director Wes Craven has purposefully kept the face behind 'Ghostface' a secret and refuses to let his cast know what the killer looks like - because it has helped him make the fear appear more real on screen.

However, during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday (31Mar11), Craven's secret was revealed when the host flashed a photo of the previously unidentified actor, Roger Jackson.

Craven says, " We sneak him into the set before the actors arrive. We put him upstairs some place, in an obscure room and put a guard out front... No actor, until now, has ever seen him."
