Scary Movie is back, and it brought its A-game of laughs and scares. Released on June 5, 2026, the latest installment takes aim at some of the biggest horror hits from recent years.
From haunted dolls to masked killers, no scary film is safe from its wild sense of humor. Get ready to see your favorite fright-fests turned into pure comedy gold.
1. Scream / Scream VI
Few horror franchises have had as many “final chapters” as Scream, and Scary Movie leans all the way into that joke. The film spoofs the “requel” trend by following a masked killer who targets the kids of original survivors, poking fun at how modern horror loves mixing nostalgia with new blood.
Fans of Scream VI will instantly recognize the subway setting and returning cast gags. The parody nails the self-aware tone that makes Scream so beloved.
2. Halloween (2018) Trilogy
Laurie Strode spent three films turning her home into a fortress, and Scary Movie milks every bit of that paranoia for laughs. Anna Faris returns as Cindy Campbell, now a full-blown recluse who has rigged her entire house with ridiculous, over-the-top traps that backfire in the funniest ways possible.
The parody captures the exhausted, trauma-fueled energy of the Halloween reboot trilogy perfectly. Every spring-loaded cabinet and trapdoor lands a solid punchline.
3. Get Out
Jordan Peele’s Get Out gave audiences the creepiest hypnosis scene in modern horror history, and Scary Movie was not going to let that slide. Shorty gets pulled into a hilarious version of the “Sunken Place,” complete with absurd visuals and completely off-the-rails reactions that make the original scene feel even more iconic by comparison.
The sequence lasts long enough to really commit to the bit. Fans of Peele’s film will catch every subtle reference tucked inside the gag.
4. M3GAN
M3GAN became a pop culture phenomenon practically overnight, mostly thanks to that unforgettable dance scene. Scary Movie cranks the absurdity up to eleven with Ghostface disguising himself as M3GAN on a subway, complete with the signature pigtails and the kind of robotic dance moves that are equal parts terrifying and hilarious.
The killer-doll premise gets a full comedic treatment here. It is one of the most visually creative sequences in the entire film.
5. Terrifier / Terrifier 3
Art the Clown has become one of horror’s most disturbing new icons, so naturally Scary Movie had to take him down a peg or two. He appears in a scene dressed as Santa Claus, which mirrors the holiday horror setup of Terrifier 3, and the results are gloriously chaotic.
The filmmakers clearly did their homework on what makes Art so unsettling, then flipped every single element for maximum comedic effect. Horror fans will love spotting the specific callbacks.
6. I Know What You Did Last Summer
Originally a late-90s slasher classic, I Know What You Did Last Summer got a 2025 reboot that gave Scary Movie fresh material to work with. The film plays with both versions at once, letting new characters stumble into the same ridiculous guilt-spiral that made the original so memorable and mockable.
Watching two different generations of characters panic over the same fishy secret is genuinely clever writing. The parody respects the source while roasting it without mercy.
7. Final Destination Franchise
Death has never been more creative or more absurd than in the Final Destination franchise, which is exactly why it fits so perfectly into a Scary Movie parody. The film recreates those elaborate, chain-reaction death sequences but swaps the horror for pure slapstick comedy, turning near-misses into punchlines.
Every ominous sign and close call gets played for laughs rather than gasps. Long-time fans of the series will appreciate just how accurately the spoof captures the franchise’s signature style.
8. Ma
Octavia Spencer’s Ma is one of the most delightfully unhinged characters in recent horror, making her a perfect target for Regina Hall’s comedic talents. Brenda adopts Ma’s signature look and behavior, throwing basement parties and switching between sweet and terrifying in the blink of an eye.
Hall’s comedic timing makes the parody feel fresh rather than just imitative. The scenes where Brenda mimics Ma’s obsessive friendliness are some of the funniest moments in the whole film.
9. The Substance
The Substance was one of 2024’s most talked-about body-horror films, blending vanity, identity, and genuinely shocking visuals into something unforgettable. Scary Movie takes Gail Hailstorm’s storyline and runs with it, injecting her with something called “the Stuff” and sending her through a transformation that is equal parts gross and hilarious.
The sequence captures the original film’s themes of self-obsession while amplifying them to ridiculous heights. It is a surprisingly sharp piece of parody hidden inside a very silly movie.
10. Longlegs
Longlegs built its entire marketing campaign on mystery and unease, making it ripe for a comedic takedown. Scary Movie saves its parody of the film for a post-credits scene, staging a full FBI interrogation sequence that pokes fun at the film’s cryptic dialogue and Nicolas Cage’s memorably strange performance.
Staying through the credits absolutely pays off here. The scene perfectly captures the odd rhythm of Longlegs while turning every dramatic beat into a well-timed laugh.
