Richie (portrayed by Ben Feldman) was a minor character in the 2009 remake of Friday the 13th. He was among the group of five college students who had ventured out to Crystal Lake in order to find a plot of wild marijuana growing in the woods. After getting lost in the woods, the group decide to make camp. It is then that Wade tells the others the story of Camp Crystal Lake and the bloody murders perpetrated by Pamela Voorhees.
Later on, Mike and Whitney walk off into the woods while Wade goes searching for the marijuana plot, leaving Richie and his girlfriend Amanda alone at the camp. The couple have passionate sex in their tent until Amanda hears the sounds of rustling leaves and breaking twigs nearby. Thinking that Wade might be out there spying on them, she sends Richie outside to investigate. While looking outside, Richie happens upon the plot of weed. However, to his horror, he also finds the body of Wade, his neck hacked open.
Richie runs back towards the camp when he hears Amanda screaming. Picking up pace, he makes it through the clearing to find a man wearing a sack on his head hanging Amanda, in her sleeping bag, over a fire. He rushes to help, but ends up stepping on a bear trap which clamps onto his ankle. Falling to the ground and writhing in pain, Richie is helpless to do anything but watch in anguish as Amanda cooks alive inside her sleeping bag.
A short while later, Whitney runs back to camp after having just escaped from Jason's house. She finds Richie on the ground and tries to get the bear trap off of him, but Jason has been following her and Richie sees him, panicking and telling Whitney to hurry. Before Whitney can remove the trap, Jason rushes over and kills Richie by splitting his skull with a machete.
