Dwight Riley Jr., or DJ, is the son of Dewey and Gale. All throughout DJ's childhood, his parents were attacked by someone in a Halloween ghost mask. The previous one in 2011 had been when DJ was in his freshman year of high school, which is where he met Samantha Carpenter.
DJ and Sam had dated from their freshman year until they were eighteen, when Sam just upped and disappeared, not telling anyone where she was going or that she was even leaving.
DJ had already been dealing with his father's drinking habits that Dewey gained after his divorce to DJ's mother, Gale.
Now, Ghostface is back, and his first target is Sam's younger sister, Tara. When Sam returns to Woodsburo, will she be able to get DJ to trust her again? Will DJ stay mad at Sam forever, or will his feelings for her override his anger towards her?
