At the end of the first Scream, the shocking reveal is made that the Ghostface killer is actually two people, with Stu and Billy working in tandem to commit their murder spree. Their plan was to frame Sidney's father for the killings, and so the two of them stab each other to sell the ruse. Stu loses a lot of blood in the process, and is then ultimately killed after Sidney drops a TV on his head.
