The Loomis family is one of the main families in the Scream series. They feature as the main antagonists of the first two films, and were mentioned frequently in the third, fourth and fifth.

Family



 * Hank Loomis: is the father of Billy Loomis, the grandfather of Samantha Carpenter, and the ex-husband of Nancy Loomis. Hank is best known for his secret affair with Maureen Prescott, causing Nancy to leave Hank and Billy. It is because of this that Billy, blaming Maureen, killed Maureen and set off a chain reaction of events. Hank did not care much for his son or his ex-wife. After both of them died, Hank is not shown in the series again in person. It is due to his sleazy actions that the events of the films took place.


 * Debbie Loomis.png Loomis: was the mother of Billy Loomis, the grandmother of Samantha Carpenter and ex-wife of Hank Loomis. When her husband had an affair with Maureen Prescott, Nancy moved out, leaving Hank to raise their son Billy on his own. After Sidney defeated and killed Billy as a result of Billy's vengeful murder spree, Nancy swore revenge. She changed her appearance and identity, under the alias "Debbie Salt" to pose as a journalist, and recruited serial killer, Mickey Altieri to help her kill Sidney and Gale Weathers for their involvement by orchestrating a copycat Ghostface murder spree. They killed many people close to Sidney, including Randy Meeks because he badmouthed Billy, but was unable to kill Sidney ultimately. Nancy betrayed and shot Mickey to frame him as the sole killer, but right before she could exact her revenge on Sidney, Cotton Weary held her at gunpoint. Nancy attempted Cotton to help her and to let her kill Sidney and he'll get what he wanted, when he refused to help her, she reminded him that Sidney sent him to death row in prison for a year. Still refusing, Cotton shot her in the chest. After Sidney and Gale kill Mickey, Sidney shoots Mrs. Loomis in the head to make sure she's dead.


 * BillyLoomisHi.png Loomis: was the son of Hank and Nancy. Billy met Roman Bridger, a young music video director, one fateful day and Roman showed Billy a tape of an affair between his father, Hank, and the mother of Billy's girlfriend, Sidney. Roman manipulated an enraged Billy into killing the mother, Maureen Prescott, alongside his best friend, Stu Macher. They framed Maureen's lover Cotton Weary for the murder. A year later, Billy and Stu masterminded a killing spree in Woodsboro, the ultimate target being Sidney, for unknown reasons. They planned to kill Sidney and frame her father, Neil Prescott. Using a Halloween costume, a voice changer, and a knife, they executed a killing spree as planned, up until the "grand finale" at Stu's house. Billy was about to finish his plan by killing Sidney when local reporter, Gale Weathers, shot him. Billy survived the gunshot but feigned death, and made a second attempt moments later. However, just as Billy opened his eyes and grunted, Sidney shot her psychotic boyfriend in the forehead, killing him for good. 25 years after his death, it is revealed that Billy had an affair with another student and she gave birth to his illegitimate daughter, Samantha Carpenter, who later faces a similar killing spree to the one Billy orchestrated. Billy appears as a hallucination to his daughter, multiple times whilst she is on her medication. He initially tries swaying her into using her serial killer genes to attack residents of Woodsboro and to embrace her dark side. Samantha is able to fight against the hallucinations and eventually sublimates her darkside when she has to murder her boyfriend, Richie Kirsch, who is revealed as one of the Killers.
