Stuart "Stu" Macher is the secondary antagonist of Scream (1996 film). He is Billy Loomis's accomplice, as well as an insensitive and eccentric best friend. A horror movie fanatic, he went along with Billy's slasher film-like murder spree, the late-September 1996 Woodsboro Murders.

He was completely unaware of Billy's true motive to kill Maureen Prescott, and simply had no real motive for doing it other that for fun. Sidney Prescott later asked what his motive was, and he simply said, "Peer pressure. I'm far too sensitive" Stu was also the boyfriend of Tatum Riley, ex-boyfriend of Casey Becker and younger brother of Leslie Macher (and at least one other possible younger sister or niece)

Stuart Macher was born sometime in late-1978 or 1979. He grew up in 261 Turner Lane, Woodsboro, California, a large farmhouse with his sibling(s) and parents. He has at least one elder sister, Leslie, who gave birth to a son, Vince 3 years after his death. From his house, it appears he either has a younger sister as well, or a niece through Leslie, Vince's would-be older sister.

As a Woodsboro High senior, he is the fun-loving boyfriend of supporting character, Tatum Riley. Previously, he dated Casey Becker until she dumped him for Steven Orth, a football player. Stu is the accomplice to Billy Loomis, assisting him in multiple murders.

First Murder (1995) (According to Scream 3): In the fall of 1995, an LA-native, Roman Bridger made home-made films, stalking his rejecting birth mother, Maureen Prescott and documenting her affairs. including one she had with his friend, Billy Loomis' father, Hank Loomis. Billy was sent into blind rage. Roman suggested Billy have an accomplice "to sell out in case he got caught", which became his friend, Stu.

On one Thursday night in late-September 1995, the pair secretly invaded Sidney Prescott's house, 34 Elm Street. After Maureen had seduced Cotton Weary, who left inebriated without his coat, they made their move. Both teenagers, stabbed the 45-year-old housewife to death.

Billy then left, wearing Cotton's coat. With matching hairstyles at the time, Sidney states that she saw Cotton leave wearing it. Then, Billy (or Stu) planted it in his car, framing him.

Aftermath of First Murder Within the following year, Billy and Stu had successfully gotten away with murder. During this timeframe, it inspired confidence in them to continue on and create their own killing spree, inspired by their favorite horror movies.

During this timeframe or possibly one year earlier, Stu's girlfriend, Casey Becker dumps him. She then initiates a relationship with Steven Orth. In the embarrassment and shame, he pursues Tatum Riley. He lies to Tatum, telling her he dumped his ex-girlfriend, Casey, rather than the other way around.

Speculation: It has been suggested Stu only dated Tatum to be in proximity to Sidney Prescott, the next ultimate revenge target. Despite this, they would have been in each other's circles regardless, for at least two years by the beginning of Scream (1996), as their best friends have been dating for two years (since 1994). On a Wednesday night, September 25th, 1996, they resume their killings, two nights before the anniversary of Maureen's death. They target Casey Becker and her boyfriend, Steve Orth, sometime after 10pm.

Before Steve's arrival, they abduct him and tie him to the patio chair at the back of the Becker Residence, when Mr. and Mrs. Becker leave.

Off-screen: He abducts Neil Prescott shortly after Billy Loomis enters his daughter, Sidney Prescott's room, having snuck in to distract her sometime before or after murdering Casey and Steve. Neil intended to leave for a business trip. It appears he drove off and abandoned his car, before keeping him held captive at 261 Turner Lane. After this, Stu joined Tatum Riley at the Riley Residence.

The next day at school, it is a Thursday morning. Sheriff Burke's police are interrogating the entire school about Stu's crime. The gang sit together around a fountain, pondering the culprits.

Sidney vaguely recalls Stu dating Casey, which Stu states was only for "like two seconds". Randy side-talks to Tatum, stating Casey dumped him for Steve. Tatum is shocked and frowns at this, telling Stu, "I thought you dumped her for me", and he says, "I did, he's full of shit".

Stu makes a mockery of the murders, including a pun-joke, "Liver alone". On a serious note, after being questioned, he states, "I didn't kill anybody." This is seen as if he has something to defend. Billy glares at him, reminding him that Randy has only questioned Stu, not accused, saying "Nobody says you did". Stu returns to making it lighthearted, saying "Thanks, buddy".

That night, Billy calls Sidney at her house, using the Ghostface voice modifier, while Stu carries out an attack against her. Stu holds two knives up slowly to stab her, and gives her enough time and ammunition to block it, and run off. Later, Billy implicates himself for the crime, with the phone call. Stu, meanwhile, escapes before the police arrive.

While in the hall at Tatum's locker, Sidney, Tatum and Stu are talking. Stu is seen checking his face in the mirror, from the head injury sustained from assaulting Sidney, and her self-defense attack. Tatum attempts to hush Stu over some tactless things he says when Sidney asks him where Billy is. She asks if Billy is okay, and Stu replies sarcastically, "What? After you him as the Candyman. No, his heart is broken." Tatum pushes him in the chest as he says it.

As the Ghostface costumed prank occurs in the hallway, scaring teens at the school, Tatum shakes her head when Stu is noticeably entertained stating, "Look at this place, it's like Christmas." She is increasingly frustrated at his insensitivity and says, "Stupidity leak!", tapping his head with her lollipop from her locker.

Stu meets them outside of school as school is suspended. Stu acts oblivious and juvenile about school being canceled, thus being a bit insensitive to Sidney's attacks making Tatum tell him to "drop it, Stu". Stu then scoops Tatum over his shoulder and says he is going to throw a party knowing she will want to go. Later, it is Friday night, and Stu's party occurs at his house after classes are canceled and citywide curfew is placed. After the guests leave, following news of Principal Arthur Himbry's murder, Stu and Billy plan their confrontation against Sidney.

Cameraman Kenny Brown and Sidney later fearfully watch Randy Meeks, drunk inside the residence of Stu's house while Ghostface has crept up behind him. They observe him through the video camera secretly placed inside Stu's living room by Gale Weathers. However, Kenny forgets the 30-second delay, with Stu having already exited outside, and throat-slashes him. Later, Stu throws him on top of the news van.

Stu and Billy reveal their plan to Sidney, including how they are going to frame her father, Neil Prescott. Billy and Stu begin to stab each other to make themselves look like the victims of their scapegoat. Stu claims that after watching several horror films, they know how to frame and get away with murder.

Tatum pleads Sidney to go with them to the party promising that Billy won't be there. Sidney agrees. Stu tells them to grab food before he goes in his own direction toward home to set up for it. However, Billy stabs him too deep and Stu begins bleeding profusely, complaining of "feeling a little woozy" and appears to be dying. Sidney runs off after the two men are distracted by Gale.

With Billy unconscious, Stu chases Sidney down and attempts to kill her, claiming that he "always had a thing for [her]." She bites his hand, hits him with a vase, and drops a TV on his head saying "In your dreams!", electrocuting him to death.
