The 'You Poor Thing' Ghostface thirst trap meme emerges from the intersection of horror fandom and social media 'simp' culture. Centered around the iconic antagonist from the Scream franchise, the meme often uses a specific audio clip where Ghostface speaks in a condescending yet alluring tone. It gained massive traction on TikTok and Instagram, where creators pair the audio with stylized edits of the masked killer to evoke a 'dark romance' aesthetic. The meme is typically used to mock one's own questionable taste in fictional characters or to lean into the viral 'Scream-core' trend that has turned a horror icon into an unlikely internet heartthrob.
