WARNING! This article contains major SPOILERS for Scream 6!The Scream 6. Iconic final girl Sidney Prescott has seen multiple of her family die or become Ghostface, with the family of original Ghostface killer Billy Loomis either following in his footsteps or resisting the serial killer lurking within. While all of Randy’s known relatives have survived massacres and taken on similar movie lore roles, the families of Stu, Dewey, and Richie have primarily perished between Scream (1996) and Scream 6.
The Ghostface killings in Scream, Scream 3, and Scream 4 all went back to Sidney Prescott’s family connections. In Scream 2, the revenge spree was based on Billy Loomis’ bereaved mother wanting to avenge her son’s death. Scream 5 wasn’t directly aimed at familial revenge, but still utilized the familial connections between the new generation of Woodsboro teens and their relatives from the 1996 Woodsboro massacre. Scream 6 was similarly based on a father, brother, and sister seeking revenge for Richie’s murder. The family trees in the Scream movies thus play a key role in the larger franchise lore and the motivation of Ghostfaces, primarily being traced back to Sidney, Billy, Randy, Stu, Dewey, and Richie.
Prescott Family
Sidney Prescott
While Scream (2022). Sidney suffered yet another stab wound, but helped take down Amber and Richie before returning home to her family. Before and throughout the first four Scream movies, Sidney lost her mother Maureen, secret half-brother Roman, aunt Kate, and cousin Jill, with her only original surviving family member being her father.
Scream (2022) revealed that Sidney Prescott’s family tree now includes four other figures. In an exciting Scream 5 Easter egg, it was revealed that Sidney had married Detective Mark Kincaid sometime after the events of Scream 3, the film in which he helped investigate Roman’s Ghostface killings. Sidney also has two unnamed young daughters and a toddler, who are the primary reason why she moved away from Woodsboro and keeps her distance from new Ghostfaces.
Maureen Prescott

While Neil was an important ing character in the original Scream movie, he hasn’t appeared in the franchise since Scream 3 – despite being one of the few still-living survivors of the 1996 Woodsboro killings. During the original killings, Stu and Billy intended to frame Neil for the Ghostface kill spree, but the real killers’ deaths proved him innocent. Scream 4 implies that Neil moved away from Woodsboro, with his fate also being left a mystery after Scream (2022).
Roman Bridger
The villain of Scream 3, Roman Bridger is the son of an unknown attacker and Maureen Prescott, who gave him up for adoption after he was born. Roman is thus also the older half-brother of Sidney Prescott, cousin of Jill Roberts, and nephew of Kate Roberts. Scream 3 reveals that Roman was rejected by Maureen once he tracked her down in 1995, leading to his revenge plot on her and later his attack on Sidney while filming Stab 3. After revealing himself to be Ghostface and his true familial connection to the Prescotts, Roman is killed by Sidney in Scream 3’s ending.
Kate Roberts
Kate Roberts is introduced in Scream 4 as the younger sister of Maureen Prescott, mother of Ghostface killer Jill Roberts, and aunt of Sidney Prescott. Having lived in Woodsboro all her life, Kate was deeply affected by Maureen’s death and the many Ghostface killings impacting Sidney. However, it’s implied that she was not close to Sidney after Maureen’s death. Kate is killed in Scream 4 by Ghostface as part of Jill’s plan to repeat the events of the original massacre and replace Sidney as the Woodsboro slayings’ sole survivor.
Jill Roberts
Jill Roberts (Emma Roberts) is the only daughter of Kate Roberts, niece of Maureen Prescott, and younger cousin of Sidney Prescott. Jill was only an infant at the time of Scream’s original killings, so she grew up in the fictional town of Woodsboro always being associated with her cousin Sidney’s legacy. In Scream 4, Jill decided that she would take over Sidney’s role as the hero survivor by secretly organizing a new Ghostface massacre in Woodsboro. After Jill tried to kill her several times, Sidney defensively killed the 2011 Ghostface in the hospital.

With Stu, Billy conducted Scream’s original Ghostface deaths before being killed by Sidney. In Scream 2, Billy’s mother became Ghostface as she sought revenge on Sidney for killing Billy.
