Lakewood Slasher

The Lakewood Slasher is an identity adopted by the main antagonists of TV series Scream.

The Lakewood Slasher was voiced by Mike Vaughn, and in-costume scenes were portrayed by Stanton Barrett in Season 1 and Alec Rayme in Season 2.

Equipment

Buck 120

The Lakewood Slasher's weapon of choice is a Buck 120 bowie knife. They kill most of their victims with it, however, some victims were murdered in other ways. Piper's main weapon was a Buck 120 knife that she used on most of her victims except for Will (she used a trencher saw for Emma to run into a wire to cause his death). But unlike Kieran, he used multiple weapons to kill his victims. He used a Fireplace Poker to kill his father and he used a scythe to kill Jake and a corkscrew on Eddie and he started the house fire that Emma and Eli where in (who they didn't know was occupied) to burn Seth Branson to death and used a pitchfork from the James's Barn to kill Quinn Maddox; although Kieran has use the Buck 120 to kill Haley Meyers but used different weapons for the rest of his victims and he loved to torment his victims before killing them in brutal methods, unlike Piper.

Voice Changer

The Lakewood Slasher uses a voice changer to conceal his actual identity's voice. Similar to Roman Bridger, he can mimic several voices, as can be seen in In The Trenches when he tricks Emma into coming to Will's house so he could trick Emma into causing his death. Piper and Kieran had used the voice changer mimic several other voices to lure there victims to them.

Phone

The Lakewood Slasher uses a smartphone to contact his victims, often teasing them. He texts, calls and DM's them, typically right before committing a murder. It cannot be tracked, making the Lakewood Slasher incognito. Piper and Kieran used the phone to call numerous people Emma Audrey Noah Brooke Rachel Kristen and Sheriff Acosta.

Identities & Motives

Piper Shaw

Piper came To Lakewood around the same time her lover Kieran Wilcox came she also bonded with him and Manipulated him into killing together and they both became lovers and both started a new killing spree.

Piper's motive was to get revenge on her long lost half-sister, Emma Duval, for having a perfect life, and her mother, Maggie Duval, for putting her up for adoption. She was also seeking revenge for her father's death 21 years earlier. Ultimately, Piper almost managed to kill Maggie and Emma, but was betrayed and shot by Audrey, her first alleged accomplice. Piper survived and tried to get back up but Emma took the gun and shot her in the head before she could attack again, killing her instantly.

Kieran Wilcox

Kieran became the lover of Piper and teamed up with her in the new killing spree they both wanted revenge for their parents' abandoning them so Kieran got close to Emma and pretended to be in a relationship with her and The Lakewood Six.

It was highlighted in Revelations that Audrey had a secret connection to Piper in the 2015 killing spree, but it was later revealed she had only brought Piper to Lakewood as part of her research documentary and therefore, did not help her in the murders. In I Know What You Did Last Summer, the second accomplice of Piper kills Jake and starts harassing Audrey in addition to Emma. In The Vanishing, Audrey highlighted to Emma that Piper was with her the night that Rachel died in Hello, Emma. She assumes that her accomplice killed her. The accomplice is revealed to be Kieran Wilcox. He dated Piper and wanted to exact revenge on the rest of the Lakewood Six as Emma and Audrey killed her. He failed to do so, as Emma and Audrey subdued him and let the police take him to prison. Eight months later, he was murdered by The 3rd Killer, who slashed his throat, and stabbed him in the back of the neck.

The 3rd Killer

The Third Killer is (presumably) to be Kevin Duvall who possibly framed Brandon James for the 1994 Lakewood Murders and who killed Kieran for trying to hurt his daughter and her friends. However, this has only been theorized and it's more of a misdirected fauxshadowing to the (supposedly) other possible suspect and possible Third Killer: Troy James, due to being Brandon's older brother, who snapped due to being jealous of his brother's fling with Maggie (Daisy) Duval and having to take care of him, in killing his bullies and framing his own blood, by using his brother's mask in the 1994 murders.

Little was revealed about the 3rd killer. He made his first known appearance in When a Stranger Calls, calling the then imprisoned Kieran Wilcox, telling him "Who told you, you could wear my mask?" Eight months later, the killer confronts Kieran in a courthouse holding cell, snapping the neck of his Prison Guard before approaching him. Kieran asks the killer who they are, and they respond by slashing Kieran's throat open. As Kieran tries to crawl toward the guard's gun, the killer stabs Kieran in the back of the neck, then twists the knife, killing him. After admiring Kieran's corpse, the third killer escapes before they could be caught.
