~ Charlie Walker stabbing Kirby, revealing that he is Ghostface. |
Charles "Charlie" Walker is the secondary antagonist of Scream 4, the fourth installment of the Scream movie franchise.
He is Woodsboro High president of the Cinema club, and ran "Stab-a-Thon" from his sophomore year to his senior year.
Secretly, Charlie dated Kirby's best friend, Jill Roberts who wanted vengeance against Trevor Sheldon for cheating on her, as well as coping with the jealousy towards her cousin, Sidney Prescott. They conspired to remake the original 1996 Woodsboro Murders on its 15th anniversary, under the guise of being the remake version/millennial counterparts to Randy and Sidney. Despite this, Jill had planned to betray and murder him in the end anyway, to become the true sole survivor. He is the archenemy of Kirby Reed, for whom he also showed a long unrequited (albeit perverse) interest.
He was portrayed by Rory Culkin, who also played Euronymous in Lords of Chaos and Kappa in Black Mirror. While in-disguise, he is voiced by Roger L. Jackson. In-costume scenes as Ghostface were portrayed by Dane Farwell.
Biography[]
Background[]
Charlie was born around approximately 1993 before the first Ghostface killing in Woodsboro, Maureen Prescott, Sidney's mother, killed by Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. His entire family life is unaccounted for in the film series. As a major horror film geek, he ran Woodsboro Cinema Club, a preferential title to "Film Club". As President of the Cinema Club at Woodsboro High School, he chose his friend, Robbie Mercer as Vice President. He was a particularly obsessive fan of the Stab films and hosted the "Stab-A-Thon" from 2009 to 2011. Implied by Olivia Morris, it appeared to have a different location every year. Charlie was proud of his event-running, and seemed to pointer-check its league table against other high school societies. Charlie had a crush on her friend, Kirby Reed for many years, but however, she was just playing with his feelings.
After Jill Roberts was cheated on by Trevor Sheldon sometime in their sophomore year or the summer before senior year, Jill began a secret relationship with Charlie, who she sat next to in English class. Unbeknownst to Charlie, he was simply a tool in her game. Jill convinced him of manifesting his Stab movie dreams to reality in the form a real-life remake. She convinced him of her vision: millennial counterparts to Sidney Prescott and Randy Meeks. Jill concocted a scheme where they would remake the original Woodsboro Murders, framing her ex-boyfriend, as the pairing become the last two teenagers surviving, just like the original events and original Stab movie. This time around, however, as any horror remake intended to do at the time, they would "out-do" the original. An unknown part of their plan is whether Sidney Prescott was essential, though it seems likely given her local celebrity status and the timing of her self-help book tour ending at Woodsboro. This also coincided with the 15th anniversary of the original Woodsboro killings.
Scream 4 (2011)[]
Charlie and Jill began a fourth killing spree with killing Marnie Cooper and Jenny Randall. When Jenny was upstairs, Charlie kidnapped and killed Marnie off-screen. After that he called Jenny and taunted her over the phone, shortly before Jill and Charlie threw Marnie's corpse through a nearby window. Jill chased Jenny until she finally managed to kill her, while Charlie filmed the murder.
The following morning, Charlie plants several Ghostface-related items and merchandise in Sidney's rental car boot when she arrives at Woodsboro on her self-help book tour. He also calls Olivia Morris from Marnie's phone, while later calling Jill from Jenny's phone in front of Kirby and Olivia, as her witnesses, before going to school. Charlie then arrives at school with his tech savvy best friend, Robbie, engaging with groups of students on Robbie's live-video blog upload for all of his high school experiences, titled Hall Pass. Once Jill and her friends, Olivia and Kirby arrive, the duo revert their attention to them. Robbie is seen wearing a camera on his headset to capture footage of the trio, which immensely annoys Kirby and Olivia. Charlie is seen trying to make a pass at Kirby, which she brushes off. He speculates that she likes him, but Robbie says she's just playing him. That fact ends up being true; later Kirby confides in Jill that she enjoys toying with the Cinema Club President.
In the evening, while Jill and Kirby were watching Shaun of the Dead, Jill makes a fake "Ghostface" call to Olivia. During this conversation, Charlie calls Kirby as Ghostface, claiming to be in a closet. Kirby opens Jill's closet to prove he isn't in there and called him a liar. He then gives a bone chilling response, "I never said I was in your closet" before immediately leaping out of Olivia's closet. Charlie brutally murders Olivia, while Kirby and Jill were watching in horror. When Sidney arrives at Olivia's house, Charlie taunts her on the phone. When Jill headed upstairs to Olivia's room, Charlie as Ghostface slices Jill's arm, who has entered the house after her, and tried to hurt Sidney. but failed to.
The next day at film club, Gale and Sidney show up in order to get more information. Charlie "deduces" that the killer is following the rules of a remake/reboot, and thus is upping the ante from the original films. In fact, the only way to be totally safe, according to the rules, is to be gay. The key component missing is to actually film the murders, "making your art as immortal as you". In actuality, he is indirectly flaunting his own work, as the knowledge of the murders being filmed has not come to light. Charlie and Robbie queue together that they are not trying to implicate each other. They refer to the original murder spree, which culminated in a house party massacre; the only logical place for the next killing would be there. Gale asks about what is going on tonight and Charlie says they are having a Stab marathon at an undisclosed location. Gale presses for the address but the kids won't give it up. Later, at the third annual Stab-a-thon, Charlie attacked and stabbed Gale in the shoulder. The Stab-a-Thon is canceled as a result of the incident.
Back at the Roberts Residence, where Kate is to return from grocery shopping, Charlie has already driven the cops two blocks away and finished the job committed by Jill, stabbing Hoss and Perkins several times to make sure they are dead Sidney enters Jill's room, noticing a message to Kirby, a text stating that her mother is driving her crazy and asking to be picked up. Kirby picks Jill up after Jill has called Sidney from the back of the house, having told her as the Ghostface entity about Gale's attack. Kate returns from grocery shopping, to which Sidney informs her that Jill is not in her room. Then Charlie and Jill attack Sidney and Kate from both sides of the Roberts house. Charlie scares Sidney and Kate at the back door forcing them to run to the front door where they are attacked by Jill. Sidney slams the door on Jill's arm causing her to groan in pain. Jill angrily thrusts her knife through the mail slot, stabbing her mother Kate, who was sitting against the door in an attempt to keep it shut. Kate dies after asking Sidney to tell Jill she's sorry.
Later Charlie arrives last at Kirby's house, before Jill and Robbie, leaving the front door unlocked, which made Trevor appear as an "unannounced guest", which outraged everyone, mostly Kirby. Trevor claims that Jill invited him to come over. Jill denies sending Trevor a text message to further arouse suspicion of him. She goes to upstairs to "look" for her cellphone, claiming she doesn't have it on her, and Trevor follows her. Robbie later excuses himself to do a podcast outside, in which he remarks that his buddy might get the girl. He is referring to Kirby and Charlie. Inside, Kirby knocks Charlie out of his Stab trance and, loopily tells him he should probably make a move. Charlie asks why doesn't she with the same slurred tone. She says she just did, telling him she always thought he was cute. She then kisses him. Suddenly, Trevor bursts in and ruins the moment, making Charlie furiously storm out of the house. After slipping past an unaware Kirby, he puts on his Ghostface costume where he kills Robbie.
After Charlie killed Robbie, he started to chase Jill and Sidney upstairs. Jill hid under the bed, while Sidney fleed on the roof. Charlie didn't find Jill and continued to attack Sidney on the roof, but she managed to escape. During the planned "final" confrontation, Charlie is seen running up to Kirby's patio door (for that was where Kirby and Sidney were hiding from the killer), with blood on his hands (he claims that the blood was from Robbie's body outside) and Jill dressed in her Ghostface costume, trailing behind him. He begs Kirby to let him in, but she readily refuses, for fear of her own life, and backs away. Soon, Jill as Ghostface attacks Charlie, and the patio lights turn off. When they turn back on, he is found tied up to a chair (reference to Steven Orth).
Jill calls Kirby as Ghostface and Sidney tells her to keep the killer on the phone while she goes to get Jill. They manage to trick Kirby into coming out of the room by asking her several trivial horror movie questions and letting her believe she actually won the game.
Just as he makes the first blow, he mutters, "Kirby, this is making a move!" This refers to their previous talk back in the house, where Kirby tells Charlie he should make a move. He continues to speak, angrily rebuking her, "Four years of classes together and you notice me now?" This reveals his obsessive crush on her, and how he sought attention from her, but never received much. He then catches her as she falls into his arms and shouts, "You stupid bitch! It's too late!" and stabs her for a second time in the same place. His voice appears to be breaking and quivering, as if he was about to cry. As Kirby groans in pain he retorts with: "Doesn't happen as a fast as it does in the movies I know." These were his last words to her before he lets her fall to the ground holding her bleeding stomach. Luckily, Kirby managed to survive off-screen, which is revealed in an Easter-egg from the fifth Scream movie.
Charlie goes back inside and holds Sidney at knife point. They tussle, and she narrowly breaks free only to be stabbed by the oncoming second Ghostface that reveals herself to be Jill. During the revelations, Jill kills Trevor by shooting him in the head. Charlie states, that Trevor is the new generation's Billy, Jill is the new Sidney Prescott, and he is the new Randy Meeks.
After Charlie and Jill told Sidney about their plans, Jill kisses Charlie, leading him on into thinking that she loves him. Afterward, Jill asks Charlie if he's ready. He says yes, just like Billy and Stu, wanting her to stab him in the shoulder like they rehearsed. Instead, she brutally stabs him at the chest. Shocked, Charlie declares that's not the way they rehearsed it. Sidney informs Charlie that he's the Stu Macher to Trevor's Billy Loomis. Jill then claims to Charlie that the what media really loves, is a sole survivor, and while Trevor was his partner, he was the "idea man," and that Charlie was never meant to survive with her. Shortly after, Jill then stabs Charlie in the stomach (something that he ironically did to Kirby before), as he groans and slumps to the ground, bleeding out to death, which also means that every murderous action of his was really all for nothing.
Scream (2022)[]
In the fifth film's opening scene of Tara Carpenter's attack, fellow Stab fanatic psychopath Richie Kirsch call Tara, telling her to tell her mother Christina that "Charlie" called, a man from her "group" (AA reference). Some fans speculate it to be an Easter egg reference to Scream 4. The film also reveals that Charlie did not entirely kill his somewhat unrequited love interest, Kirby Reed, reducing his kill count and ironically leaving his resentful attempted murder on her in vain.
With her survival, she becomes the sole teenage survivor of the second Woodsboro Murders (and to some extent, making Charlie her own quasi-boyfriend-killer Billy Loomis remake, with Jill as Stu). Radio Silence revealed Kirby was intended to be shown as a filmmaker, working with Rian Johnson for Stab 8, a reboot that omitted Sidney Prescott's character. It is possible the Flamethrower Ghostface (portrayed by Matthew Lillard) is Charlie.
Scream VI (2023)[]
Charlie's Ghostface mask was left in the bodega after the attack. At the police station, Wayne reveals, that another mask which was left behind at the Bodega, had "DNA that matched Jill Roberts and Charlie Walker, both deceased." Kirby later responds "Ghostface killers from 2011". She later even lifts her shirt to show off the stab wound on the stomach that Charlie gave her back. Charlie is mentioned again by Kirby, when she and Wayne are tracking the timeline of Ghostface.
Personality[]
Charlie Walker may seem like your average horror movie fanatic, with an encyclopedic knowledge of cliches and a charming, nerdy demeanor. But beneath the surface lies a disturbed and manipulative individual, in on the deadly plan concocted by his classmate and crush, Jill Roberts. Charlie sees himself as the new 'Randy Meeks' of the group, but his true motive is revealed in his incel attitude towards Kirby, another classmate and potential love interest. Despite his cold and calculating nature, Charlie still shows glimpses of humanity. For example, when he injures Kirby instead of killing her, and later expresses true remorse for his actions. His world is shattered when he realizes that Jill has cast him in the role of Stu Macher, instead of the idolized Randy Meeks, as she continues her quest to become the new Sidney Prescott. In the end, Charlie meets his demise at the hands of Jill, and his emotions of shock and sadness reveal that he was not completely devoid of feelings after all.

“ | Robbie: This is "Hall Pass" with Robbie Mercer, webcasting live in our darkest hour. What began as a day of remembrance, has ended with a serial murder. Olivia Morris, who officially will never go out with me, is dead, so is Jenny Randall and Marnie Cooper. Our local legacy, the "Stab" movies, is coming to life. Gale: Excuse me, are you recording with that thing? Charlie: My video blog upload. He's webcasting right now. Gale: Oh, mind turning it off for little old-school off the record? Robbie: I can't, owe it to my audience. Gale: Turn the f-cking thing off! Robbie: Okay... Gale': So, you two are the boys that run the movie club at Woodsboro High, huh? Robbie: Oh, Charlie runs it. I'm just V.P., in case he takes a bullet. Charlie: It's called Cinema Club. Gale: So you must have a very unique insight into the movie buffs at your school. Charlie: Maybe. Gale: What if we could catch the killer, by working together? Two generations of cutting-edge journalists intertwining our passions for media? What would you say? Robbie: I love you? Gale: Very good. Now, you give me your expertise on the gore geek scene at Woodsboro High and maybe I give you something in return. Say, a celebrity visit to your Cinema Club, by me? Charlie: What about Sidney? Gale: What about Sidney? Robbie: Hey, you know her, right? I am you're friends with her? Charlie: No offense but, that'd be a big deal for Cinema Club. A visit from Sidney Prescott, I mean, she's the star. Gale: Uh, yes she's Daniel Radcliffe to my J.K. Rowling. Charlie: Well, without the book sales and the box office. Gale: Whatever. |

~ Charlie and Robbie team up with Gale to take down the killer. |
“ | Charlie: Okay, Cinema Club. We are now in session. Welcome. I'll tell you a little bit about ourselves. We are sanctioned after-school activity, one rung below the Glee Club, two above Nintendo Wii Fit and, let me just say to our guest, Sidney Prescott. It's an honor. Robbie: Beyond Jamie Lee Curtis, forget Linda Blair, I mean, this is the ultimate. Sidney: Thanks, I guess. This, uhm, you film your entire High School experience and what, post it on the net? Robbie: Everybody will be doing it someday, Sid. Charlie: It's kind of the one component the killer is missing. Gale: Wait, what do you mean? Charlie: Well, if you wanna be the new "new version", the killer should be filming the murders. Robbie: It's like the natural next step in a psycho slasher innovation. I mean you film them all real-time, and then before you get caught, you upload them into cyberspace. Charlie: Making your art as immortal as you. [at the same time] Charlie: Not to implicate him. Robbie: Not to implicate me. Sidney: So who do you think is behind the murders? Charlie: Well, it's a "Stab" fanatic, clearly, working on less of a shriekquel and more of a Scream-make. Robbie: Copyrighted terms, by the way. Charlie: 'Cause all there are now are remakes. Only horror the studios green-light. I mean, there are still rules, but the rules have changed, the unexpected is the new cliché. Robbie: Yeah, you gotta have an opening sequence that blows the doors off, dial up some flashy music-video direction, and the kills gotta be way more extreme. Charlie: Modern audiences got savvy to the rules of the originals, so the reversals become the new standard. In fact, the only surefire way to survive a modern horror movie, you pretty much have to be gay. Gale: So, why are you so sure that the killer is working by the rules of a horror remake? Robbie: Well, the original "Stab" structure is pretty apparent. Charlie: Yeah, two kids killed in a house while their parents are away? Robbie: And then the school's "hot chick" savaged beyond recognition. Charlie: We all know where it goes from there. Sidney: A party. Charlie: Exactly. A party. Guaranteed third-act main cast bloodbath. Robbie: Fingers crossed on some nudity for a change. Gale: Okay, so do you know of a party that's happening tonight? Charlie: Well, there's "Stab-a-Thon". Sidney: "Stab-a-Thon"? Charlie: Uh, It's a movie marathon. All seven "Stabs" back-to-back. We do it every year. Sidney: And it's tonight? There's a killer out there patterning his murders after the original movie. Charlie: I know, it's pretty wild. Sidney: We have to call it off. Robbie: Uhm, okay, I mean, it's Friday. I am sure we're not the only party that's going on in Woodsboro. Gale: But where is this circle-jerk gonna take place? Charlie: [to all] So, who's ready for this Q&A. Gale: No, no. I really want the location. Charlie: You know, it's kind of an underground thing, email invites., pretty secret. Gale: What, you're not gonna tell me? Really? We're working together, remember? Charlie: So you're ready for the Q&A? Gale: F-ck you. Sidney: Let's go. [Sidney and Gale leave the class] Charlie: [chuckles softly] That was awesome. |

Trivia[]
- His casting call states: "Messy cute. Friends with Jill, Trevor, Robbie, Kirby, and Olivia. A little cocky, he likens himself to Randy Meeks from the first three Scream movies without the nerd part. With no such luck, he’s definitely a nerd."
- He is based on Stu Macher, because he bares many similarities to him. Jill apparently seduced him into doing her bidding and, thinking that she liked him, he agreed to help her with her killing spree. Stu claimed in the first movie that he was peer-pressured into helping Billy. He wanted to be the new "Randy Meeks" with Jill as the new "Sidney Prescott" but ended up being the new "Stu Macher".
- He's the first killer in the franchise who's motivated by romantic feelings toward another character (the second is Tom Martin and the third is Amber Freeman).
- In the movie Lymelife with Rory Culkin and Emma Roberts Emma's character seduces Rory's character in a confessional and they also had a sex scene which was apparently what happened between Jill and Charlie.
- Although Scream 5 released in 2022, Rory Culkin has stated that he is happy with Charlie's death and isn't interested in reprising his role, despite some fans hoping that he could return.
- His attempted murder towards Kirby Reed ironically echoes his eventual death in the film:
- He was directly involved in his set-up victimization, where he was taped onto a chair and expected Kirby to "save" him, in which it is acts as a pathway for him to try to kill her once she releases him from his straps. Later on, he himself actually got genuinely victimized by Jill via murdering him.
- He tried to kill Kirby through stabbing her twice and expecting her to lose her life from those injuries of hers. Later on, he also got stabbed twice by his accomplice Jill, as well, except his is much more severe in comparison.
- What's further ironic about this is that Kirby was able to survive from her wounds (as confirmed in the next two Scream films).
- Once he enacted his attempted kill on Kirby, he also accuses her of recently reciprocating his old feelings for her, indicating that he lost all of it some time ago. Later in the film, it's revealed that he and Jill were dating, showcasing that he's now attracted to her, but then Jill backstabs him by killing him, which presents the fact that she actually doesn't really feel the same way for him.
- He is the first Ghostface killer in the franchise to be killed off completely by another Ghostface (Mickey Altieri doesn't count because he was actually still alive for a moment, even after Nancy Loomis shot him beforehand), and in his case, it's done by Jill Roberts.
