Anyone who is a fan of the original Scream movie knows that Billy and Stu’s relationship was… interesting, to say the least. The duo came together to commit heinous crimes over the course of a year. And it all happened because Billy was upset that Sidney’s mom and his dad had an affair. It’s a tryst that he only seemed to blame Maureen for. Typical. Even more incredulous is how he got his bestie Stu Macher to get in on a killing spree. The way they’d hang all over each other and their deep dedication to their “us against the world” plan gave queer vibes. And Matthew Lillard couldn’t agree more that Billy and Stu’s relationship is queer coded and, as he says, they are the “first husbands of horror.”
This entire conversation sprang up during an appearance by Lillard and Skeet Ulrich at Silver Scream Convention in Massachusetts. (Thanks to PinkNews for bringing this to our attention!) When asked about the ongoing fan theory that Billy and Stu were gay, Lillard said he agrees with this notion.
“There’s a lot of hatred in the world right now,” he said. “And I love standing up and saying we are the first gay couple ever in a horror movie, and there’s nothing they can f*cking say about it. You can’t touch it, you can’t take it away.”
He also gave some love to any queer kiddos and said he loves them. And honestly, I love how he feels about Billy and Stu. I’ve always thought that Stu was willing to get into this twisted mess because he was in love with Billy. Now, with Billy, I honestly think he was just too sociopathic to really love anyone. But he likely suspected that Stu loved him and used it to his advantage. It is also not impossible that Billy did have feelings for Stu. He probably felt he had to repress them due to social pressures.
Furthermore, Scream writer Kevin Williamson, who is himself gay, said that he modeled Billy and Stu after real-life gay killers Leopold and Loeb. And, we even get some in-universe suspicion from Randy in Scream 2. Right before his death, he calls Billy a “rat-faced, homo-repressed Mama’s boy.”
So yep, whether fans like it or not, there are some queer vibes between Billy and Stu and Matthew Lillard loves it.
