Cindy Campbell

Cindy Campbell is the main character in the Scary Movie film series; her name is a parody of Sidney Prescott from the Scream series and actress Neve Campbell's last name. She is played by Anna Faris who along with Regina Hall as Brenda Meeks have starred in the first four films.

Personality
Cindy is an attractive, sweet, and cheerful character, she is soft-spoken and meek at first glance. Originally brunette, becoming blonde later, she is very caring for others, such as striving to protect people like Cody or even the rest of the world from watching the horror tape. (Scary Movie 3) She also shows an interest in animal rights avocation, helping the homeless and protecting the environment. She matures from a clueless teenager to a much tougher and motherly woman, although she still displays levels of unintelligent or tactlessness at times. She is slightly insecure, showing insecurity when others talk about her appearance.

However, Cindy does have a more dangerous and violent side, even when she was a teenager, shown when she punched Gail Hailstorm in the face for telling her that her "ass looks fat." Cindy also has a rather unfortunate track record when it comes to relationships, her first boyfriend, Bobby Prinze, constantly tried to pressure her into being intimate with him and was later revealed to be both gay and a murderer, later attempting to kill her. Her next love interest, Buddy was also rather argumentative and their relationship presumably did not last. Her first marriage to an aggressive and disrespectful man turned out to be quite opprobrious and abusive, resulting in a divorce. Her most successful relationship was with her second husband George Logan, but he later died during a boxing accident.

She is shown to be a good fighter at several moments in her life, employing martial arts skills similar to the fight skills in "The Matrix." She sometimes has brief moments of extraordinary strength, once lifting CJ off his feet out of frustration.

She can also speak a form of "Mock Japanese," which Toshio remarks as terrible as it is just words such as Mitsubishi, Samurai, and Jujitsu thrown together.

Family and Friends
The only people in Cindy's family who have appeared in the movies or are mentioned are her father (reportedly a drug dealer), her unnamed sister, a grandmother and her nephew, Cody Campbell. Both The Sheriff and Principal Squiggman allude to Cindy's mother having been sexually promiscuous. Cindy has been married twice, once with an unknown man and later to George Logan who dies in between 2003 and 2006. Her brother-in-law was Tom Logan. She was last known to be in a relationship with Tom Ryan.

Recurring Gags
Cindy is one of the few characters to have a running gag about her; the only other character being Ray. This gag revolves around her thin frame, particularly in how she isn't as busomy as Brenda Meeks or Buffy Gilmore. When she flashes Bobby in the first film, she is shown to have a hairy masculine chest that causes him to fall out of the window. While in college, her friends are much more vicious when they compare her figure to Caroline Kane in her portrait. Buddy also calls her "A-cup" after he punches her, and Shorty Meeks comments that her breasts are orangutan-like while the group gazes over Caroline's portrait. While working as a reporter, Cindy argues with her boss about a report on breast augmentation and reveals her now enlarged breasts, which are much bigger than previously, suggesting her coerced her to have the plastic surgery. (However, this trait is not obvious unless she's flashing her chest. She possibly has the surgery undone later.) Another brief running gag in the first two movies is Cindy being covered in massive amounts of semen when she finally goes to "the next level" with Bobby in the first movie and when she gives Buddy a "hand" in the second movie.

Scary Movie
Cindy is a student at B. A. Corpse High School which she attends with Bobby Prinze, her boyfriend, although their relationship is almost entirely platonic. Her friends are Brenda Meeks, Buffy Gilmore, Greg Philippe, Shorty Meeks and Ray Wilkins. She first appears using her computer when she hears a noise outside the window and heads to check it. It turns out it is Bobby who has climbed up the side of the house to her bedroom. Since she screamed, her dad come in and remarks he's going out of town so the cops won't find him and tells her to hide his stash. They both say their goodbyes. Bobby comes out from hiding under the bed and tells her he was home watching "The Exorcist" which got him thinking of her. They proceed to try to have sex, but Bobby gets electrocuted by Cindy's chastity belt which takes the form of an electrical fence around her underwear which her dad put there. Bobby proceeds to leave through the window, and Cindy asks him if he would settle for a PG-13 thing and shows him her manly chest, causing Bobby to cover his eyes and fall out the window. The next day, she heads to school with Brenda and Buffy and discover that Drew Decker was murdered the previous night. With reporters at school, Cindy is called into the principal's office where they question her about Drew. While the entire gang is at the fountain on campus, they reveal in flashback that one Halloween they accidentally ran over a man and dumped his body at the pier where Greg made them swear to never mention it again. While Cindy refuses to cover up the incident, Greg chokes her until she does. She even takes it literally until Greg clarifies himself. While in class the next day, Cindy sees Ghost Face looking at her and finds two notes on her desk reminding her of the body that was struck and killed in her presence the previous year. She how realizes someone beyond her friends knows about the accident. Back at the fountain, Greg shows up ready to confront Ray over a photo taken in the locker room of his small penis, but Cindy breaks them up, revealing she also got a note and that somebody knows their secret. Cindy says they should go to the police, but Greg is adamant against it. After Greg and Buffy disappear, Shorty tricks Cindy into throwing a party at her house, and although she tries to remain responsible, she eventually gives in and becomes intoxicated, having sex with Bobby. When he accidentally reveals Greg and Buffy are dead, she realizes that Bobby is the killer having copied Drew's killer and that Ray has been helping him. Unfortunately, Buffy's killer shows up and takes them out. Cindy fights him off until the police can arrive. Later at the Sheriff's office, Cindy has an revelation that the killer was Doofy Gilmore, who has since escaped bootychex.

Brenda Meeks
Brenda Meeks is Cindy's very close friend and has been with her since high school although there a few times at Hell House where she's more concerned with her own safety than Cindy's. Cindy seems to turn a deaf ear to some of Brenda's comments for the sake of their friendship, but it's very obvious they really enjoy being around each other.



Buffy Gilmore
Buffy was a friend of Cindy. They were close enough to meet each other at school although Buffy was still given to make jokes to Cindy's expense after making false claims about Bobby.

During Scary Movie 1, Cindy was more close to Buffy and their friendship worked out perfectly till Buffy's character changed after winning the beauty pageant.

For most of their friendship, Greg is pretty much civil to Cindy, only twice becoming abusive and nearly killing her. He chokes her when she wants to go to the police, and his temper also flares a year later when someone reveals they know about the man they killed. Greg uses several wrestler moves on Cindy when she again wants to go to the police. Despite these occurrences, there are no signs of any animosity between the two although Cindy becomes aware of his hair-trigger temper.

Cindy seems to forgive him afterward, possibly thinking of him as an older brother.

Theo Keyoko

Buddy Wilkerson
Buddy was was a friend of Cindy at college, but he very obviously wanted to be her boyfriend, although his motives are almost entirely sexual. It is unknown what happened to him between the 2nd and 3rd movie, though it is possible he never saw Cindy again he considered Cindy more trouble to pursue than he wanted.
