Both Tara and Sam are murderers, but contrary to the Ghostfaces of the past, they only kill to protect their family, not to fulfill selfish desires. That's also why Sam drops Billy's mask on the floor at the movie ends, as she's finally at peace with her legacy.
Sam Will Be Ghostface In Scream 7 One thing the Scream franchise has never done is have a final girl as the Ghostface killer. However, Sam's story is different.
In the end, Sam proves to embody the rules of a real-life horror movie legacy "requel" (reboot and sequel); she is both the descendant of a legacy character, and the new Ghostface entity is her own boyfriend, Richie whom she is able to kill (staying true to the original Sidney-Billy dynamic), as well as his accomplice ...
She still experienced visions of Billy and in the end, closely observed his mask, suggesting that Sam really is good and bad in Scream, as Barrera discussed. Sam also wears the traditional Ghostface costume as she kills the final antagonist in Scream 6.
The reason that there's a Scream 7 at all is because of how well Scream 5 and 6 did. Scream 6, released earlier this year, became the highest-grossing movie in the series domestically.

How did Chad survive Scream 6?
"We digitally removed some of the stabbing," added Vanderbilt. "But the guys always overshoot the violence to be able to, to pull it back or dial it up and add it, which I think is super smart."
If any Ghostface is apt to return in Scream 7, it's Skeet Ulrich's Billy Loomis, who remains the franchise's most infamous killer. Billy returned in Scream (2022) and Scream 6 through Sam Carpenter's visions, as her father became a representation of her suppressed urge to kill.
Ghostface is later revealed to be both Sam's boyfriend Richie Kirsch (Jack Quaid) and Tara's friend Amber Freeman (Mikey Madison), who are revealed to be two obsessive and toxic fans of the in-universe horror film series Stab.
Finally, Sam is also dating Danny (Josh Segarra), a man who lives across her hallway. The Core Four can also count on the backup of Scream 4's Kirby (Hayden Panettiere), who became an FBI agent, and Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox).
At the end of Scream 6, she hides a Ghostface mask in her jacket and stares at it as if she's about to cave in and follow in her father's footsteps. However, she stops herself and throws the mask to the ground. This doesn't mean her decision is final, though. Sam could turn evil and become Scream's Ghostface.
Now, all movie long, Tara's angry how Sam's overprotective, moving from Woodsboro to the Big Apple to keep an eye on her. Sam can't help it, though, as she thinks she cursed them with Billy's blood in her veins.
“Here, Sam is the daughter of Billy Loomis. And I am Mexican. And no one ever questioned that, which goes to show that audiences are capable of expanding their understanding of something in ways that I think often studios don't give them credit for.” Skeet Ulrich played Sam's father, Loomis, in the 1996 Scream movie.
At the end of Scream 6, Sam Carpenter takes out the Ghostface ringleader, Detective Bailey, by stabbing him a significant amount of times. Sam Carpenter makes sure Detective Bailey has no chance of survival when she stabs him multiple times at the end of Scream 6.
Campbell hasn't ultimately said goodbye to Sidney and the Scream movies, so if the studio agrees to pay her fairly, it's likely she would return as a character for Scream 7. New characters might be at the center of the current Scream story, but Campbell will always be the face of the franchise.
Sam Uses The Ghostface Mask & Costume To Attack Scream 6's Main Villain (Just Like Sidney In Scream) In the first Scream, she gets away after Sidney finds out that Billy and his best friend, Stu Macher, are the Ghostface killers.
Unfortunately for Scream franchise fans that may want to see Stu Macher make a comeback, Scream 6 has fairly definitively laid the theories to rest by confirming his death. There is a lingering shot in the film that shows Stu Macher's photo and confirms that he died in 1996.
Sam is the illegitimate daughter of Billy Loomis. Sam's mother, Christina, was said to be dating Sam and Tara's father during high school. Sam's mother got pregnant with her before the two graduated. Christina lied and said Sam was the daughter of her then-father.
In 2010, Sam discovered Mr. Carpenter wasn't her biological father and exposed it to the whole family, causing him to leave. After that, Sam still stayed with Tara and Christina for 5–6 more years, going on a downward spiral whilst reading her real father Billy Loomis's diary.
Scream 6 introduced five killers, the most in any Scream film, who were not working together. Their identities were revealed early on, breaking convention. Detective Bailey, Quinn Bailey, and Ethan Landry were revealed as the killers at the end of Scream 6. Their motive was revenge for Detective Bailey's son's death.
Scream 7 may add in the craziest twist of all by making Scream's final girl Sam Carpenter the Ghostface killer. The Scream franchise has had a lot of shocking Ghostface killers, though Sam would be the most jaw-dropping.
The majority of Scream 6's focus was on the new "Core Four," Sam, her sister Tara, and their twin friends, Chad and Mindy Meeks-Martin. Fortunately, for fans of the Core Four, all members survived the brutal Ghostface attacks despite each acquiring new injuries.
Sidney finds out about his child much later on and figures he wasn't "patient" with her after all and being unfaithful to her. It is revealed that Billy held hatred inside for Sidney, but stayed in the relationship to stay close to her to execute his plan of revenge for his mother abandoning him.
