Sheriff Hiz

Sheriff Hiz was the sheriff of the small town of Woodscreek. He first appeared at the official crime scene of the murder of a young girl, Utopia Tulip. Mr Montana demands that Hiz catch the perpetrator as soon as possible in order to keep his daughter, Jenny Montana, safe from harm's way, Hiz promises that he will. When several fellow Woodscreek residents question why the police department never managed to solve the mystery of Jeff Rose's murder three years prior, Hiz claims that they didn't have enough evidence.

When Briary Rose goes to Hiz's house to get house, Hiz reveals that Rolf and himself are the Woodscreek Ghostface killers. He explains to Briary that he was jelous of him and Joe Winko, he was jelous of how easy their lives were and how they were "always happy"; he also expresses how difficult his childhood was. Joe Winko dressed in a Ghostface costume then stabs Rolf in the back by surprise, killing him, and then stabs Hiz directly in the mouth, killing him instantly, ending the infamous Woodscreek Ghostface murders.

The motives of the next two Ghostface killers can easily be traced back to Sheriff Hiz. One of the principle motives for the Ghostface killer of Camp Wanaweep was Sheriff Hiz. The killer expressed how she wanted to follow in his footsteps. In Knifed 3, it is revealed that Sheriff Hiz had a son called David Cooper, who was an actor who decided to orchestrate the Hollywood Ghostface murders as an act of vengeance on Joe for murdering his father. It is unknown who the mother was.
