My motive isn't as '90s as Mickey's. Mine is just good old-fashioned revenge. You killed my son! And, now, I kill you and I can't think of anything more rational.
~ Nancy Loomis to Sidney Prescott.

Nancy Loomis is the main antagonist of the 1997 slasher film Scream 2, the second installment of the Scream franchise.

She is the mother of Billy Loomis and the paternal grandmother of Samantha Carpenter, who poses as a local reporter under the alias of Debbie Salt to seek revenge against those responsible for killing her son, and the second archenemy of Sidney Prescott.

She was portrayed by Laurie Metcalf. While in-disguise, she is voiced by Roger L. Jackson. In-costume scenes as Ghostface were portrayed by Chris Doyle, Allen Robinson, and Kurt Bryant.

Biography

Background

Nancy abandoned her son after her husband cheated on her with Maureen Prescott, Sidney's mother. In revenge, Billy and Stu killed Maureen, framed Cotton Weary and one year later began a murder-spree, attacking Sidney, only to be ultimately defeated by Sidney and her friends.

Nancy is stricken with grief and remorse upon hearing about her son's death. Completely enraged, she had a makeover and met Mickey Altieri on a killer website. In exchange for guidance, tuition expenses, and to become famous, Mickey assisted Nancy with her plans.

Scream 2

Two years later after the events of Scream, A copycat killer murders a couple in a movie theatre during a premiere of "Stab". A movie based on Billy and Stu's murders, and Sidney became famous and was in College with Randy, her new boyfriend Derek and new friends Hallie and Mickey. Nancy poses as "Debbie Salt", a reporter who bothers Gale Weathers a lot. She showed to be just a normal reporter who is a big fan of Gale's story on the Woodsboro killings, and later arrived at the crime scene of Cici's death, trying to talk to Gale again but refused to talk to her.

Later, Nancy did the Ghostface act on Randy, Gale and Dewey. As Randy tries to distract the killer by talking to Nancy on the phone while Dewey and Gale try to find the killer. Nancy tries to hurt Randy's feeling telling him that Sidney will never go out with him. But Randy twists her insults towards her and argues with Nancy as he insults her about how much of a pathetic loser momma's boy Billy was, which enraged Nancy to the point of brutally murdering Randy. After Randy's death, Gale was more determined to stop the killer than doing a book about it, as Nancy tries to talk to Gale again, Gale tells her off.

Later after Hallie and Derek were murdered by the revealed killer Mickey Altieri who became a killer for a fun and game of becoming just as famous as Billy, after a fight Mickey reveals his partner, who Sidney recognizes her to be "Mrs. Loomis" Billy's mother who abandoned him after that incident with Maureen Prescott. She has Gale hostage pointing a gun at her after Gale tried to call the police after thinking Cotton Weary was the murderer. Mickey reveals that she hired him to help him pay for his tuition fees in exchange for his killings, showing that Nancy is the cause of the second killing spree. But eventually Nancy betrays Mickey as he is no longer a use to her plans anymore as she shoots him, presumed dead as Mickey shoots Gale as she collapses to the bottom of the stage, presumed dead also.

As she and Sidney finally come face to face towards each other, with Nancy pointing gun at Sidney and tells Sidney that her killing spree wasn't all fun and games at all, it was all a plan to get revenge on Sidney for killing Billy and frame her for her and Mickey's crimes. As Sidney tells her she won't get away with it, Nancy foolishly begs to differ wiping off the fingerprints off one the guns and asks Sidney any comments or comebacks if she's covered everything and Sidney insults her, telling Nancy that she is just as crazy and pathetic as Billy was, as she threats Sidney how it didn't go well for Randy when he insulted her about Billy.

As Sidney and Nancy argue, Sidney fights back, escaping backstage as she uses the stage props and controls to scare Nancy, as the stage crashes down on her. Then Nancy gets back up in pain and a fit of desperate rage trying to kill Sidney with a knife and just as Sidney sees the gun next her and tries to reach it, Nancy gets very desperate to kill Sidney, scared that Sidney will succeed and just then Cotton intervenes pointing a gun at both of them. While she holds her hostage, Nancy desperately tries to convince Cotton that Sidney needs to die, for she wrongly accused Cotton who had to spend 1 year in jail. Believed she had convinced Cotton to kill Sidney, but after Sidney said she will do the interview, Nancy's smile turns into a frown, knowing that Cotton knew she was lying and realizing she's doomed as Cotton shoots Nancy in the neck. Afterwards, Cotton tells Sidney he'd never hurt her, as Gale is shown to be alive, Mickey pops up for one last scare as Sidney and Gale shoot him over a dozen times, as Mickey is finally done for. Sidney then turns towards Nancy's body and shoots her lethally in the head, exclaiming it was 'just in case'.

Quotes

How you holding up, Gale? It must be scary knowing somebody's out there waiting and watching, enjoying all this..
~ Nancy to Gale.
Nancy/Ghostface: Hello, Sidney. Remember me?
Sidney: What do you want?
Ghostface: I want you. It's show time.
Sidney: Then why don't you show your face, you f-cking coward?
Ghostface: My pleasure!
~ Nancy's phone call with Sidney before attacking her.
Nancy/Ghostface: I'm not interrupting anything, am I? You three look deep in thought. Have you ever felt a knife cut through human flesh... and scrape the bone beneath?
Randy: [to Dewey] It's him. He can see us.
Dewey: Just keep him on the phone.
Randy: What do you want me to say?
Dewey: I don't know. Just keep him talking. [Dewey and Gale start to search from killer]
Randy: So uh... what's up?
Ghostface: What's your favorite scary movie?
Randy: "Showgirls", absolutely frightening, what's yours? Let me guess. "The House On Sorority Row"? "Dorm That Dripped Blood"? "Splatter University"? "Graduation Day"? "Final Exam"? Am I close?
Ghostface: Closer than you think. Too slow, geek. Do you want to die?
Randy: Is that the best you can do? Because Billy and Stu were much more original.
Ghostface: Why are you even here, Randy? You'll never be the leading man.
Randy: F-ck you!
Ghostface: No matter how hard you try, you'll never be the hero, and you'll never, ever get the girl. [Randy mistakes the caller] Wrong guy, dead boy.
Randy: Oh, yeah? Well, let's redirect a moment, Mr. "I'm-So-Original", huh? Where's your innovation, huh? Why copycat two high school loser-ass dickheads? Stu was a pussy-ass wet rag and Billy Loomis? Billy Loomis, what the f-ck?! Jesus... What a rat-lookin', homo-repressed momma's boy! Why you not set your goals higher, huh? You wanna be one of the big boys? Huh? Manson, Bundy, O.J., Son-... [Nancy pulls Randy into the van]
~ Nancy's phone call with Randy, before killing him.
It's called a makeover. You should try it. Look a little tired yourself there, Gale!
~ Nancy after revealing herself.
Mickey was a good boy, but, my God, that old "Blame The Movies" motive. Did you buy that for one second? Poor boy was completely out of his mind.
~ Nancy contemptuously about Mickey's motive.
Nancy: Everything's traceable back to Mickey, including the cop gun he used to kill everybody. But let's just suppose that you had gotten hold of the other cop's gun. And you chased Mickey and there was a big shoot out and a big scuffle, and you shot Mickey, killed Mickey dead. But not before he got off one shot at you. Okay. So, have I covered everything? Are there any questions? Any comments? You know what, though? Who gives a flying f-ck anyway? Let 'em try and track down the second possible killer. Debbie Salt doesn't exist!
Sidney: You're as crazy as your son was.
Nancy: What did you just say? Was that a negative, disparaging remark about my son, about my Billy?
Sidney: No, Billy was a good boy. Billy was perfect. You did a bang up job, Mrs. Loomis!
Nancy: Not wise to patronize a mother with a gun, Sidney, Randy spoke poorly of Billy and I got little knife happy! I was a good mother. You know what makes me sick?! I am sick to death of people saying that it's all the parents' fault, that all starts with the family. You wanna blame someone? Why don't you blame YOUR MOTHER?! She's the one who stole my husband and broke up my family, and then you took my son! You don't know what it is to be a mother!
~ Nancy taunting Sidney, before Sidney insults her and Nancy’s taunting turns into emotional threats.
You don't need her! Let me kill her! As long as she's alive, you're never gonna be the lead story if that's what you really want, isn't it, Cotton? If you really want this moment in the spotlight, just let me kill her, right now! And then, you're the only survivor, you're the star! SHE SENT YOU TO PRISON FOR A YEAR! Personally, I think it's rather poetic!
~ Nancy's last moments, failing to convince Cotton to let her kill Sidney, instead being shot to death by Cotton.

Trivia

  • Nancy's full name was never revealed in Scream 2, despite it being her only physical appearance. Her full name was finally revealed fourteen years later in the screenplay for Scream 4 and first mentioned on-screen in Scream VI.
  • Nancy suffered heavily from denial. She was unwilling to believe or accept that her absence was a factor in Billy going insane; or that Sidney only "murdered" him purely in self-defense as Billy had become a serial killer.
  • Nancy was described as "a flashy woman - all hair and teeth, thick sunglasses" in the original script. The character became more unassuming in the final version.
  • Her cover story changed from being a Newsweek reporter to working for a local paper.
  • Her motives match that of Pamela Voorhees' from the original Friday the 13th. Pamela was mentioned by Ghostface in Scream, and by Randy in Scream 2.
  • Nancy was the first Ghostface who betrayed her accomplice. In her defense, Mickey is well-established to be the worse of the duo and was just as willing to betray her as the other way around.
  • Despite her intelligence, Nancy was very foolish to betray Mickey, thinking she can defeat Sidney and her friends and get away with it alone, and when she desperately tries to convince Cotton to kill Sidney for getting him arrested, she was too much of a fool not knowing or accepting that it was Billy's fault for getting Cotton arrested in the first place, not Sidney.
  • Nancy stabs Randy to death left-handed. This is another clue to her agenda in framing Mickey and escaping, as Mickey himself is left-handed, connecting him to the crime (and is mentioned as left-handed in a deleted scene). Even something as trivial as to the hand used to stab victims, which is noticed in an autopsy.
