Trivia

Scream (1996)

The killers, or 'Ghostface' in this specific movie are Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. Their plan was to kill Sidney and frame her father, Neil Prescott, whom they have taken hostage, for their murder spree. The pair also reveal that they murdered her mother, Maureen, as she was having an affair with Hank Loomis (Billy's father), which drove Billy's mother away.

Scream 2 (1997)

The killers in this particular case are Mickey Altieri and Nancy Loomis. The former was looking to become infamous in the ensuing trial and media spectacle while the latter was attempting to exact revenge on behalf of Billy Loomis.

Scream 3 (2000)

In Scream 3, the culprit is Roman Bridger, who is apparently Sidney's half-brother, born to their mother Maureen Prescott when she was an actress in Hollywood. Years ago, he had unsuccessfully tried reuniting with her. Bitter over the rejection, Roman would film all the men she philandered with. He showed Billy Loomis the footage of his father with Maureen, which motivated him to kill her (thus setting off the events of the previous movies). However, when he discovered how much fame Sidney got because of those events, Roman snapped and lured Sidney out of hiding.

Scream 4 (2011)

For this movie, 'Ghostface' turns out to be Jill Roberts and Charlie Walker, who explain that they committed the murders as a part of a remake of the first murders. Jill further reveals that she did it out of anger and jealousy of Sidney's fame and she wants the attention Sidney got for surviving the past killings. They also admit that they intend to frame Trevor as Ghostface.

Scream (2022)

For this movie, 'Ghostface' turns out to be Richie Kirsch and Amber Freeman, who explain that they committed the murders after meeting on a Stab subreddit dedicated to sharing their dislike for Stab 8. They planned to remake the film in which Sam would be the killer seeking justice for her father's (Billy Loomis) death, hoping this would be recreated into a better movie.
