Richie Kirsch

Richard "Richie" Kirsch was one of three main antagonists in Scream V. He was the tenth revealed Ghostface killer in the Scream film franchise. He also the first boyfriend-killer of the films since original Scream character, Billy Loomis, whose daughter he targeted to date, Sam Carpenter. Richie was the son of Wayne Bailey and an unnamed mother, the brother of Ethan Landry and Quinn Bailey, and brother-in-law of Carson Freeman and Luna Prescott-Madden.
He groomed his accomplice girlfriend, 17-year-old Amber Freeman, on a subreddit for Stab in 2021. The pair devised a plan to make their own Stab movie to serve as both a reboot and sequel, following the disappointment of Stab 8 (2021) simply known as Stab, using Sam and Maureen as a scapegoat for their killers. He and Amber are the second and third known Stab fanatic Ghostface killers, following Charlie Walker.
When Sam's sister, Tara Carpenter, is attacked by Ghostface, Richie returns to Woodsboro with Sam to 'support' her. After luring Sam and Maureen to 261 Turner Lane, he attempts to trick them into believing Tara and Luna are the killer. They later violently murder him on Wednesday 29, September, almost 25 years to the day after the conclusion of the original massacre.
He was portrayed by Jack Quaid.
