The True Identities of the ‘Scream’ Killers, Ranked

DEBBIE SALT/MRS. LOOMIS (Laurie Metcalf), Scream 2

“Was that a negative, disparaging remark about my son? About my Billy? It’s not wise to patronize me with a gun, Sidney! Randy spoke poorly of Billy and I got a little knife-happy.”

Mrs. Loomis proved to be one of the best reveals in the Scream franchise. Billy’s mother’s motive was another case of straight up revenge; her desire to kill Sidney was a direct result of Billy’s death at her hands. Her protection over her son’s memory is insane—when Randy insults him over the phone, she drags him into a van and viciously stabs him to death. I would argue that Mrs. Loomis is the most dedicated of the bunch, so much so that she plucks Mickey out of the Future Serial Killers of America chat room and sends him to college to befriend and stalk Sidney. Bonus points for a Friday the 13^th throwback.
