William Loomis

Short description

William "Billy" Loomis is the main antagonist of Scream (1996 film) and the original Ghostface killer. As a horror film fanatic, he pressures his best friend, Stu Macher, into helping him commit a killing spree in Woodsboro. While he states it is "scarier when there is no motive", he reveals to Sidney, and Stu, that the killing spree is an elaborate revenge attack against Maureen Prescott. Billy's anger stems from his mother's abandonment, following his father's affair with Maureen, his girlfriend's mother. He blames Maureen and her well-renowned promiscuity for ruining his family structure. In revenge, he kills Maureen, and successfully frames her other lover, Cotton. One year later, he tortures his grieving girlfriend, Sidney, in an elaborate revenge plot, hoping to frame her father for the killing spree he commits with Stu, following their success with framing Cotton. However, Billy fails this time around, as Sidney ultimately defeats and kills the psychotic pairing inside Stu's house.
