We did your mom a favor Sid, that woman was a slut-bag whore who flashed her sh*t all over town like she was Sharon Stone or something. Stu: Yeah, and we put her out of her misery 'cause let’s face it, Sidney, your mother was no Sharon Stone! |

William "Billy" Loomis is the secondary antagonist of the Scream franchise.
He was a horror film fanatic who pressured his best friend Stu Macher into committing a killing spree in Woodsboro out of anger for his parents' separation. He is also the ex-boyfriend-turned-second archenemy of Sidney Prescott, whose promiscuous mother Maureen was the reason for the divorce of Billy's parents by getting in an affair with Billy's father.
He was portrayed by Skeet Ulrich. While in-disguise, he was voiced by Roger L. Jackson. In-costume scenes as Ghostface were portrayed by Lee Waddell and Dane Farwell.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- Under Roman Bridger's orders, he and his best friend Stu Macher raped, tortured, and murdered Maureen Prescott, the mother of Billy's girlfriend Sidney, out of revenge for causing Billy's mother Nancy to leave him, before framing it on Maureen's lover Cotton Weary and nearly causing Cotton to be executed.
- This also left a massive impact on Sidney, as she was severely traumatized by her mother's death and felt guilt for causing the wrong person to be convicted.
- He frequently brought up Maureen's death to Sidney to torment her and make sure she would never forget about it.
- Rather than simply stop after achieving his revenge against Maureen, he convinced Stu on the anniversary of her death that they should start a killing spree to target Sidney.
- He kidnapped Steve Orth and then sent tormenting calls to Steve's girlfriend Casey Becker, making her play a game for Steve's life where Steve would die if she answered a question incorrectly and when Casey incorrectly answered Jason Voorhees, the killer in the original Friday the 13th film, he forced her to watch Stu brutally kill Steve by gutting him.
- Furthermore, considering he said he would kill Sidney regardless of if she got the question Billy and Stu ask her right or wrong, it's made clear Steve would have died even if Casey got the question right.
- He helped Stu kill Casey by gutting her, before they hung her corpse on a tree for her parents to see.
- It is implied he targeted Casey to torment Sidney, who sat next to her in English class.
- He stabbed Principal Himbry to death before gutting him and hanging his corpse on the goal post of the school football field as a warning to others.
- He murdered Tatum by crushing her head in the garage door after slashing her arm and tormenting her.
- He took Sidney’s virginity in order to make her feel bad over having sex with her mother’s murderer, before having Stu pretend to kill him in front of Sidney just to make her feel bad about suspecting him as the killer.
- He tried to kill Dewey Riley by stabbing him to death.
- He revealed himself as Ghostface by trying to kill Randy via shooting him in the chest.
- Instead of just killing Sidney, he revealed that he and Stu were the ones that killed her mother and that it was so easy to frame Cotton for it just to add extra torment before killing her.
- He and Stu revealed they kidnapped Sidney's father Neil, intending to kill him and Sidney before pinning their murders on him, allowing them to go on a second killing spree since Stu mentions him and Billy "planning the sequel", making him and Stu the only Ghostface killers to plan a second killing spree.
- He knocked out Gale Weathers, only not killing her due to Sidney escaping and calling the police.
- He tried to kill Sidney while telling her to "say hello to your mother" to torment her.
- The fact that Samantha Carpenter is his and Christina's daughter also shows that Billy never truly loved Sidney. This also means that Billy secretly cheated on Sidney either before or during the first film and his actions also make him indirectly responsible for Samantha hallucinating him.
- He didn't care about Stu as he only asked him to help him kill Maureen to have a partner to sell out if he got caught, stabbed him multiple times to the point where Stu was bleeding out from blood loss, and threatened to shoot him unless he tried to find Sidney after she reported them to the police.
- While he was abandoned by his mother, this doesn't justify his actions in any way since he already got his revenge on Maureen and most of his victims had nothing to do with his abandonment.
- What makes this even more invalid is that Maureen couldn’t have predicted that Nancy would abandon Billy, and Billy didn’t hold any anger towards his own mother even though she was really the one to blame.
- Despite the high Heinous Standards, Billy still stands out due to him and Stu being the original Ghostface killers who started the Ghostface killing sprees, being the only Ghostface killers to plan a second killing spree, having personal villainy for murdering Sidney’s mother Maureen and her best friend Tatum, nearly getting Cotton executed, and gaslighting Sidney into having sex just to make her feel more terrible.
- While Roman did influence him into killing Maureen, he still did it on his own volition, plus Roman never asked him to carry out the Woodsboro killing spree.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He genuinely cares about his mother, as he became evil after his mother had abandoned him due to Maureen and Hank's affair, with the killing spree being driven by a desire of revenge against Maureen and Sidney, and he got angry when Sidney called him a "pansy-assed momma's boy".
Trivia[]
- Him and his mother's shared love for one another is the only prevention that the two NPE characters in the franchise share.
