Every Halloween season, horror-movie fans love debating the dark details of their favorite slashers, and Billy Loomis from the iconic Scream franchise always sparks lively discussion. Counting his victims is a fun, practical exercise for casual fans who want to brush up on trivia before a movie night, and it helps newcomers appreciate the clever storytelling that made Scream a cultural phenomenon in the first place.
In the original Scream (1996), Billy Loomis is one half of the killer duo working alongside Hank Loomis — though the plan credits Billy as the mastermind. While acting as Ghostface, Billy and his partner Stu Macher claim several lives together. Their combined tally in the first film reaches five victims, including leading characters like Casey, Steven Orth, Tilly, Dwight, and Cotton Riley.
What many fans overlook is that Billy personally claims some of these kills on his own during key confrontations. By the end of the first movie, strict accounting usually places Billy's solo kill count at around three, depending on which version of the script you reference. This subtle distinction is a favorite topic among hardcore Scream enthusiasts who enjoy splitting hairs.
