Christina Carpenter is an unseen resident of Woodsboro, California, and the mother of Samantha and Tara Carpenter.During the events of the film, she is away for an extensive business trip in London. She left her seventeen-year-old daughter, Tara, home alone.Following the events of the Third Woodsboro Murders, Christina cuts off Samantha because she revealed the truth about her connection to Billy Loomis to Tara. With Christina refusing to speak to Sam, Tara subsequently cut her off, leaving to a rift in the family, and for Sam desperate to have a new family.

Christina was born to her unnamed parents in August 1979 in Woodsboro, California. During her time in high school, she met Mr. Carpenter, and they instantly became high school sweethearts. Unbeknownst to him, at some point in 1996 Christina crossed paths with Billy Loomis, and they had an affair which led to Christina getting pregnant with their daughter in August 1996, before he committed the Woodsboro Murders with Stu Macher a month later. Scared, she convinced her boyfriend that he was the biological father. She gave birth to Samantha Carpenter on May 19th, 1997. Around five years later, she became pregnant with her second daughter, and her husband's first biological child, unbeknownst to Mr. Carpenter, the biological father of Tara Carpenter. Christina gave birth to Tara on December 14th, 2002.

In December 2010, when Samantha was 13 and Tara was 8, Samantha tried to look around the attic of her parents' home for Christmas gifts, however, she came across her mother's old high school diaries. Thinking they were going to be romantic, she read the diaries and uncovered her mother's short-lived affair with Billy Loomis back in high school. Upset, she confronted her mother about it, all the while her legal father (and Christina's husband) was standing nearby and overheard the entire conversation. As a result, Mr. Carpenter left the family, effectively cutting all communications with not only Christina, but also Sam and Tara. This caused a major rift between Christina and Sam as they began to butt heads a lot more, which in turn made Sam begun to act out by sneaking out, underage drinking, doing drugs and even skipping school. Once after Sam turned 18, she decided to move from Woodsboro to another Californian location: Modesto. As time went on, Christina began to focus her attention on Tara, and also began talking bad about Sam, blaming her for their father leaving, which in turn resulted in Tara beginning to resent Samantha and started ignoring her calls and texts.

Once Tara got into high school herself, Christina soon began to become a workaholic in her unknown profession and career as she began taking more business trips, leaving Tara home alone frequently. She also started to become more absent in Tara's life as she began focusing her time on a new unknown man. It's also mentioned that Christina is dealing with serious alcoholism.

Christina is away on business in London when her daughter is attacked by Ghostface at their home. Following the attack, she calls to check in on Tara for "all of 10 minutes". She is called by her older daughter, Samantha. that they were going to stop at Modesto, but they had to go to Amber Freeman's house at 261 Turner Lane to get a spare inhaler first.After the Third Woodsboro Murders, Christina quickly learned that Samantha revealed everything to Tara about the past and who Sam's real father was. Instead of comforting her daughter, she instead decided to turn it into a verbal argument with one of them that ended with Christina deciding to cut contact from Samantha for good. However, as a result of her doing that, Tara also decided to cut contact from Christina in support of her sister. Looking for a new start, Samantha and Tara decide to relocate to New York.
