The Holy Scriptures are the same as The Holy Bible -- if you are a Christian.
If you are of the Jewish faith, the holy scriptures will be, of course, the Hebrew Bible, sometimes called the TaNaKh*. These scriptures contain almost exactly what Christians have in what they call the Old Testament, but the order is different, and the viewpoint of some of the texts is different.
Obviously, there are many other faiths in the world; each faith has its own scriptures -- entirely different texts.
Because the term "the Holy Scriptures" can mean so many different things to different people, it is very wise to avoid the use of this term unless you are sure your audience is all of one faith.
*TaNaKh is an acronym derived from the three sections in the Hebrew Bible. T - stands for Torah (law or guide), the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. N - stands for Neviim (prophets), the various books of the prophets. In the Hebrew Bible, Samuel is considered one of the prophets. Kh - stands for khetuvim (writings), those texts not otherwise covered in the other two sections. As you can see, the view of the texts in Judaism is a bit different from that of Christianity.
