Vince Schneider

Vincent "Vince" Schneider was a minor antagonist in the 2022 film Scream 5. He is the son of Leslie Macher and nephew of Stu Macher, one of the original Ghostface killers.

Vince used to be Tara Carpenter and Liv McKenzie's colleague, eventually forming a romantic relationship with Liv, which ended by the end of the summer. A couple of months later, he returned to Woodsboro to try and win Liv back and was immediately suspected as being one of the killers.

Vince tracked down Liv to a bar and was intending to stab Liv's current boyfriend, Chad Meeks-Martin, resulting in all of them 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 victim of the fifth Ghostface killing spree.

He was portrayed by Kyle Gallner.

Early Life
He was born to Leslie, Stu's older sister, around 3 years after Stu's murder by Sidney Prescott, according to his age in the script.

2021 Woodsboro Legacy Murders
He picks a fight with Chad Meeks-Martin at the Corner Pocket Pool Hall, on Maine. He attempts to flirt with Liv again, but Chad intervenes. After being kicked out, he is stabbed in the throat by Amber Freeman in a Ghostface costume.

Trivia

 * Described as "SKEEZY LOOKING DUDE hanging out in the parking lot. This is VINCE (22). Sleeve tattoos. Dark hair. Leering at Liv. A menacing presence" in the original script.
 * 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).
 * Like his uncle Stu, he was dumped for a jock. Casey dumped Stu for jock, Steven Orth. Vince was dumped by Liv for jock, Chad Meeks-Martin.
