Scary Movie

Last Update: July 16, 2024

"Scary Movie" is a 2000 horror-comedy spoof directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. This American dark comedy extensively parodies the horror, slasher, and mystery genres. It mocks several films and TV shows from the mid- and late-90s, with a particular focus on "Scream," as well as "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "The Sixth Sense," "The Usual Suspects," "The Matrix," "The Blair Witch Project," and "Dawson's Creek." The film was followed by four sequels: "Scary Movie 2" (2001), "Scary Movie 3" (2003), "Scary Movie 4" (2006), and "Scary MoVie 5" (2013). Its title is a nod to the working title of "Scream," which was also released by Dimension Films.
