Samantha Carpenter Loomis (preferably known as Sam) is the older sister of Tara Carpenter and ex-girlfriend of Richie Kirsch. She is also the biological daughter of teenage serial killer, Billy Loomis. Correspondingly, this makes her the paternal granddaughter of copycat serial killer, Nancy Loomis as well. Samantha was a former resident of Woodsboro, California who found out a dark secret of her birth which caused her legal father to leave and sent her down a rabbit hole of drugs and crime, much to the dismay of Judy Hicks who Sam would babysit the son of. After realizing the town was no good for her, she picked up and left at age 18 (almost 19) without even saying goodbye to her mother or sister. In 2022, Samantha was forced to return to Woodsboro 5 years later when she learned that Tara had been attacked by the Ghostface killer. Now 24, she returned to town with her boyfriend and joined forces with Dewey Riley, Gale Weathers and Sidney Prescott to stop the new killer. In the end, the killer is revealed to be Richie and Amber Freeman whom she is able to kill, cementing herself as the new Woodsboro final girl.
