Samantha "Sam" Carpenter is a major character in the Scream franchise.
Her sister Tara is attacked at the start, making Sam return to Woodsboro to see her for the first time in five years. She is later revealed to be the illegitimate daughter of Billy Loomis and becomes the scapegoat of the killings; she helps her friends escape and stop the killers while embracing her Ghostface persona inherited from her biological father. Unfortunately, she becomes the scapegoat again in the sequel in New York, where she is prevented from leaving. As such, she decides to help investigate.
She was portrayed by Melissa Barrera.
Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Admirable?[]
Scream (2022)[]
- While she did abandon Tara for five years, it was because she was afraid that she would turn out to be like her father, so she did it to protect Tara from her.
- When she heard that Tara was attacked by Ghostface, she immediately returned to Woodsboro to help her and stayed with Tara at the hospital to safeguard her.
- When she found out Tara was left alone at the hospital, she and Dewey rushed there immediately, managing to save her from the killer.
- She tried to stop Dewey from sacrificing his life to stop the killer, which unfortunately did not stop him.
- She tried taking Richie and Tara out of Woodsboro to safeguard them, unaware that Richie was the killer himself and unfortunately stopped at Stu Macher's house where they were attacked again.
- She scared the killer off when he attacked Mindy by throwing a vase at his head.
- She killed Richie after he was revealed to be the killer.
- She thanked Sidney and Gale for their help.
Scream VI[]
- She tazed Frankie for trying to rape Tara.
- Upon hearing that Jason Carvey and Greg Bruckner were murdered, she realized the killing spree was happening again and she attempted to take Tara out of New York to keep her safe, but unfortunately wasn't allowed to leave New York.
- When she and Tara realized the killer was after Gale Weathers, they immediately rushed over to her apartment, and while Ghostface managed to arrive before and stab Gale a few times, they scared the killer off, saving Gale from being stabbed continuously.
- She thought of giving herself up to killers to keep Tara, Chad, and Mindy safe.
- When she had to drop Tara, she gave her a knife to defend herself from Ethan.
- She put an end to Quinn and Wayne Bailey.
What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]
- She's an anti-hero, as she often implores brutal methods to slay the killers and taunts them while in the midst of conflict and even goes as far as to imitate the Ghostface persona to taunt Wayne, with her even admitting to how good her vicious actions felt and the end of the second film even having her seemingly fully embracing the Ghostface inside of her.
- She can be rather wrathful, as when bullies were taunting her she was quick to try and attack them and had to be physically stopped from doing so.
- When Sidney wanted to help her and said that Ghostface was going to keep coming after her, she was fairly rude and ungrateful about it and even asked her "What do you want from me, lady?!".
