“	Because all there are now are remakes. Only horror studios green-light. I mean, there are still rules, but the rules have changed. The unexpected is the new cliché.	„
	~ Charlie Walker to his fellow Cinema club members, secretly hiding his motivations.

“	Kirby, this is making a move. Four years of class together and you notice me now?! Stupid bitch! It's too late! Shhh… I know. I know. It's okay. Take your time. Doesn't happen as fast as it does in the movies, honey.	„
	~ Charlie Walker stabbing Kirby Reed, revealing himself as Ghostface.

Charles "Charlie" Walker is the secondary antagonist of the 2011 slasher film Scream 4, the fourth installment of the Scream franchise.

He is Woodsboro High president of the Cinema club and the secret boyfriend and accomplice of Jill Roberts. In 2011, Charlie assists her in killing their classmates in a "remake" of the Woodsboro killing spree Billy Loomis and Stu Macher committed in 1996 just so Jill can become famous like her hated cousin Sidney Prescott.

He was portrayed by Rory Culkin. While in-disguise, he was voiced by Roger L. Jackson. For his in-costume scenes as Ghostface, he was portrayed by Dane Farwell.

His Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]

He helped Jill kill her mother Kate and their high school classmates to "remake" Billy and Stu's killing spree just so Jill can become famous like her cousin Sidney.
He planned to help Jill frame her ex-boyfriend Trevor Sheldon for all their killings.
He killed Marnie Cooper by stabbing her multiple times and throwing her through a window before killing Jenny Randall by crushing her back with a garage door and then stabbing her.
He brutally killed Olivia Morris by gutting her while Sidney and his girlfriend Kirby Reed could only watch in horror, in what is by far the most graphic death in the franchise.
He stabbed Sidney's former publicist Rebecca Walters and then threw her off a building to her death just to hurt Sidney.
After Jill stabbed Officer Hoss and Officer Perkins, Charlie drove away their bodies and stabbed them multiple times to make sure they were dead and later gave one of their guns to Jill in the climax.
He killed his own best friend Robbie Mercer in a fit of rage after Trevor interrupted a kiss between him and Kirby, which was very petty as Robbie had nothing to do with it.
He stabbed Kirby for rejecting him and, as revealed in Scream VI, she was actually dead for four minutes before being brought back.
- In addition to having done this for such a petty reason, Kirby would be left with a nasty scar still freshly visible more than ten years after the stab and spent some time recovering until becoming an FBI agent to stop more Ghostfaces in the future.
He held Sidney hostage, alongside Jill, and makes her watch as Jill kills Trevor.
Despite the high Heinous Standards, he stands out since he and Jill have the highest killing spree out of any Ghostface duo, with Charlie specifically being by far one of the most brutal killers in the movies yet, which allows him to stand out from Roman Bridger and Jill, despite their matricide and personal villainy.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]

He genuinely loved Jill, as he aided her in the killing spree just to date her and be the new Randy Meeks with "Randy getting the girl this time" and he was visibly heartbroken over her betraying and killing him just so that she could be the "sole survivor" of the killings.
He has a slight amount of remorse for stabbing Kirby Reed, where after sadistically revealing himself as Ghostface, he nods no and has a worried expression on his face. This shows that he never really got over his past romantic feelings for her.

Trivia[]

The casting call for Charlie Walker 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". However, this description was given only to hide his Near Pure Evil status.
