Personality

Ethan is shown to be "the shy, dorky guy who no one would suspect because he’s so shy and dorky" (said by Mindy). He seems to get along well with his roommate Chad and also appears awkward around girls. He seeming proved his innocence by saving Mindy. In reality, Ethan is a sadistic and deranged cold-blooded killer who takes glee in seeing his victims die. Additionally, he is also insecure about being a virgin and resents Chad, seemingly for his success with women in comparison to Ethan. He has love for all of his family, seeking his dad’s approval, trying to avenge his brother and saving his sister from Chad. He also has a grudge against Tara, probably because of her rude behavior towards him, just like with almost everyone around her, before revealing himself, wanting to kill her the most just as much as Chad and Sam.

Early life

Ethan was born to Wayne Kirsch and an unknown woman in the early 2000's as the brother of Richie and Quinn. Ethan, just like his family, indulged Richie's love of the Stab movies, even helping him in the making of his own fan-films and YouTube videos about the franchise. When Richie met Amber Freeman, the two conceived a plan to make a new Stab movie using Billy Loomis' biological daughter Samantha, which ended up with both of them getting killed. After Gale Weathers published a book detailing what happened, Wayne, Ethan, and Quinn were mad at the loss of Richie and came up with a plan to get revenge. Ethan manipulated the housing arrangements, so that he would be assigned as Chad Meeks Martin's roommate so he could gain his trust and worm his way into the group under a new name, Ethan Landry. Meanwhile, Wayne and Quinn would come to New York with him, under the name Bailey.

2023

The night after Wayne killed Greg Bruckner and Jason Carvey, Ethan attended a frat party with Chad. On Quinn's notice, Sam went there and attacked a student named Frankie, who was trying to take advantage of Tara. When the group got outside of the clubhouse, a rude girl threw a drink at Sam which almost provoked the latter into a fight , this resulted in a video of Sam almost attacking her ended up on the news making Sam look even more guilty. Ethan then gave Sam tissues to clean herself with. The group returned to their apartment, and saw a news report on Greg and Jason's murders. The next morning, Ethan listens to Mindy's rules and suspects list with the rest of the group and realizes he is Mindy's top suspect. He expresses fear if he will "die a virgin". That night, Ethan sneaks into the apartment and is seen by Danny, Sam's neighbor with whom she's begun a secret relationship, who attempts to get Sam's attention. Ethan then kills Paul 2.O, Quinn's lover. Then he proceeds to pretend to attack Quinn and thus fake her death. When the group hears the commotion, they receive a picture from Danny of Ethan pretending to attack Quinn. Ethan then tosses Quinn through a door at Anika, then slices Mindy's arm, and finally stabs Anika, before slitting open her stomach. Chad and Tara attempt to leave the apartment, whilst Mindy, Sam, and a heavily bleeding Anika run into the bathroom, where Mindy discovers Paul 2.O's dead body. Mindy and Anika barricade the door with a dresser while Sam climbs a ladder to Danny's apartment. As Ethan rapidly tries to break in, Anika forces Mindy to go first. By the time Mindy is in Danny's apartment, Ethan has almost gotten inside. As Anika is climbing, Ethan forces his way through. Ethan then taunts Anika by tipping over the ladder as she is climbing. Ethan finally tips the ladder over, sending Anika to her death. Satisfied with his work, Ethan leaves the apartment.

2023

Ethan shows up to the crime scene the next day, and is confronted by Chad, who angrily asks where he has been, believing that Ethan killed Anika, but Ethan is adamant he had econ and that their were several people there who Chad could ask about Ethan’s whereabouts. Later, Ethan goes with the gang to an old theater, allegedly owned by Jason Carvey, which houses a shrine to Ghostface. However, Ethan knows the shrine belonged to his brother. Along with Ethan, Wayne stages a plan to trap the killer, unbeknownst to the rest of the group that it is a setup. Ethan hides in a van with Chad, Mindy, and Kirby Reed as she traces a call from Quinn who is hiding in Gale's penthouse to lure them there. After Quinn attacks, but fails to kill Gale, Tara comes up with a plan to lure Ghostface into a trap and execute him. Wayne tells them to travel in public, so the group take the subway, where Mindy and Ethan are separated from the rest. After boarding their own subway, which Quinn also boards as Ghostface, Quinn attacks Mindy, but doesn't kill her. Ethan is able to keep his cover by yelling for help and seeking medical attention for Mindy. None of this helps him keep his cover as Mindy still knows he is a Ghostface, despite claiming she was wrong about him. Ethan and Quinn wear Ghostface masks (Ethan wearing Nancy Loomis', Quinn wearing Stu Macher's) and attack Kirby, knocking her out, so Wayne can easily frame Kirby as the killer. Ethan saves Quinn as Chad is about to attack her with a gumball machine. They manage to stab Chad multiple times, but again, do not kill him. They return to the theatre and upon Wayne's arrival, unmask themselves and after a few minutes, reveal they were Richie's family. Ethan reveals his last name isn't Landry as well and that Mindy was correct in guessing he was not only a killer, but that it was suspicious he became Chad's roommate (she said this earlier in the film).

2023

They reveal their plan to kill Sam in revenge for Richie's death and have full less suspicious blame on her for his killing spree, as well as they plan to kill Tara and their friends too and anyone who had anything to do with Richie’s death. Before the final battle is able to take place, Ethan reveals serious contempt for Sam in particular for murdering Richie and then he and Quinn both attack her and Tara, with Ethan being stabbed numerous times and Quinn having her teeth knocked out with a brick by Tara. Ethan is later stabbed in the mouth by Tara, but not before he's able to get a stab into her torso. With Quinn and Wayne both dead, Ethan tries his hand at "one last scare" foolishly attempting to kill Sam and Tara in a desperate fit of rage, only for Kirby to use the TV that previously electrocuted Stu to death. Ethan got his head crushed and bleeds out to death, finally putting an end to the whole Kirsch family and their killing spree.

Quotes(before reveal)

"Why did everyone just freak out when her phone rang?" "Does that mean I'll die a virgin?" "Um.. why I am here exactly? My alibi clearly checks out." "I had Econ!"

Quotes(after reveal)

"Ta-ra! Mindy was right. It was easy to juke the roommate lottery. I mean, all I had to do to meet you was room with a conceded condescending alpha, literally named Chad! FUCK, it felt good to kill him!" "My name's not Ethan Landry! Is it, Dad?" "No, no, no, you sweet dumb thing. He died in Woodsboro, at the hands of your bitch sister." "This was your grandmother's, Sam. Nancy Loomis. Guess it really runs in the fucking family, doesn't it?" "Recognize this?" (to Kirby before stabbing her in stomach, using the same knife as Charlie Walker) "What are you gonna do about it, bitch?" "I've always wanted to stick something in you, Tara!"
