Although Sam is a relatively new character in the series, his story is connected to the first film, as he Billy Loomis is his father.

However, the identity of Sam’s mother, Christina Carpenter, remains a mystery. Although it is suggested that Christina would have been present at Woodsboro High School at the time of the events of the first film, she is not mentioned in any of the previous installments. Also, it is unknown if Billy was with Sidney at the time or if they got together afterwards.
Although the original writers of Scream did not plan for Billy to have a secret daughter who would become Ghostface, the story was created to give Sam a subplot outside of the mystery model that Scream has typically followed.
