Charlie Walker is the secondary antagonist in Scream 4.
Biography[]
Charlie ran the Stab-a-thon from his sophomore to senior year and served as president of the Woodsboro Film Club as a senior at Woodsboro High School. He harbored an unfulfilled love interest in Kirby Reed for four years. Charlie secretly dated Jill Roberts, Kirby's best friend, who was envious of her cousin Sidney Prescott and intended to exact revenge on Trevor Sheldon for cheating on her. On the pretense of being Randy and Sidney's millennial equivalents, they plotted to reenact the original 1996 Woodsboro Murders on its 15th anniversary. Despite this, Jill had intended to turn on him in the end and kill him in order to be the real single survivor. It was claimed that Charlie served mostly as the operation's muscle and was responsible for the majority of the movie's victims. Charlie was the most merciless Ghostface in disguise, second only to Roman Bridger in terms of the number of murder victims claimed. This was true despite his submissive character.
High school girls Jenny Randall and Marnie Cooper are killed by Ghostface in 2011, during the 15th anniversary week of the original Woodsboro murders. The next day, Sidney Prescott and Rebecca Walters, her publicist, return to Woodsboro to promote Sidney Prescott's book. Sidney is forced to remain in town while the murders are investigated after evidence is discovered in her rented car.
Ghostface makes a threatening phone call to Sidney's cousin Jill Roberts, who is dealing with the infidelity of her ex-boyfriend Trevor Sheldon, as well as to her friend Olivia Morris. Dewey Riley, who is now the town's sheriff, interrogates Jill and Olivia about their calls, along with their friend Kirby Reed, with the help of his deputies Judy Hicks, Anthony Perkins, and Hoss. Gale Weathers, Dewey's wife, decides to look into the killings over her husband's objections since she is having writing trouble. Sidney spends the night with Jill, her mother, and her aunt Kate. One evening, as Jill and Kirby watch in horror from the opposite side of the street, Olivia is slain by Ghostface. Then Ghostface confronts Sidney herself, and they engage in combat until Perkins and Hoss show there and force Ghostface to depart.
After finding that Rebecca wanted to use the killings to boost book sales, Sidney dismisses her at the hospital. Ghostface then kills Rebecca in a parking garage. Gale enlists the aid of Charlie Walker and Robbie Mercer, two high school movie enthusiasts. Gale and Sidney predict that the murderer will most likely attack during the "Stabathon," a screening party held in a barn where teens congregate to binge watch all of the Stab franchise films. Charlie hypothesizes that the killer is according to the norms of horror remakes. Gale breaks into the gathering to look into it, but Ghostface stabs her in the shoulder. Also killed are Hoss and Perkins, the home guards for Jill. Before attacking her and Kate and murdering Kate, Ghostface informs Sidney via another taunting call that Jill has departed for Kirby's.
At an after-party at Kirby's house, Jill, Kirby, Charlie, Robbie, and Trevor are there when Robbie is killed by Ghostface, who struck when he was intoxicated. When Sidney comes to depart with Jill, Ghostface pursues them both. Kirby releases Charlie, who was chained and gagged, but he then stabs her, identifying himself as Ghostface, before leaving her to bleed to death. Sidney is then faced by Charlie and a second Ghostface, who identifies herself as Jill, while she searches for Jill and phones Dewey. She acknowledges planning the killings because she was envious of Sidney's renown for surviving earlier killing sprees and wanted to become famous as a fictitious victim of the killings, intending to frame Trevor as Ghostface.
