Vince Schneider

"Is that you, pretty boy? Huh?! Get out of my fucking car!"

- Vince to Ghostface

Vince Schneider was a minor character in Scream (2022). The son of Leslie Macher and nephew of Stu Macher, one of the original Ghostface killers.

Vince previously worked with Tara Carpenter and Liv McKenzie, eventually forming a romantic relationship with Liv which only lasted the Summer. A couple of months later, he returned to Woodsboro to try and win Liv back and was immediately suspected as being the killer.

Vince tracked down Liv to a bar and got into a physical altercation with Liv's current boyfriend, Chad Meeks-Martin, resulting in them all being kicked out. As Vince relieved himself outside the bar, Ghostface got into his car and lured him in by revving the engine and playing music on the radio.

When Vince got closer, Ghostface stabbed him in the neck and killed him, making Vince the first character to fall victim to the fifth Ghostface killing spree.

He was portrayed by Kyle Gallner.

Early Life

2021 Woodsboro Legacy Murders
When the Ghostface killings start again, Vince appears, living in Woodsboro, much to the suspicion of Liv and her friends. Liv reveals that Vince had previously been stalking her Instagram and leaving creepy comments for her.

That night, Liv and her friends are hanging out in a bar and Vince approaches her and tries to get her to grab a drink with him, leading to him and Chad Meeks-Martin, Liv's current boyfriend, getting into a physical altercation which gets them all kicked out of the bar.

As Vince relieves himself on the side of the bar, partially due to spite, Ghostface turns on his car and revs the engine and plays "Red Right Hand" through the radio to lure Vince in. As Vince leans into his car and turns off the engine, Ghostface appears behind him and then stabs him in the neck.

Trivia

 * The tattoo on his knuckle is 1428, the Elm Street house (a nod to Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street).
 * In the January 27 Reddit Q&A, Radio Silence revealed his death sequence using Red Right Hand was difficult to use, as it was an idea they previously considered to use for the bowling alley scene with Sam and Richie. However, after re-shooting it with Vince, it somehow managed to work.
 * He is the only character to not appear in any official posters or promo.
 * He is one of the few non-killers who're confirmed to be physically violent people (predated by John Milton, Haley Meyers and Avery Collins).
