Best Ghostface killers in Scream

Stuart Macher leads the Scream ranking with 1367 ELO points over 136 duels, ahead of Billy Loomis and Jill Roberts.

Billy Loomis trails the leader by just 14 points but faces a steeper drop behind him: 37 ELO points separate him from Jill Roberts at rank 3, the sharpest gap in the top positions. Despite winning 70% of his duels compared to Stuart Macher's 65%, Billy remains in second place, suggesting the community weighs cumulative performance over pure win consistency. The tight race at the top contrasts with the wider spread below, where Roman Bridger holds rank 4 with 1293 points and Mickey Altieri completes the top 5 at 1257 points after 140 duels. At the bottom, the Kirsch family claims the final three spots. Wayne Kirsch sits at rank 10 with 1063 points, Quinn Kirsch follows at 1050 points, and Ethan Kirsch lands last at 1007 points after 131 duels. The franchise's most recent killers fail to excite voters the way the original film's masked antagonists do.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
