Scary Movie (2026 film)

Scary Movie (also known as Scary Movie 6) is a 2026 American parody film directed by Michael Tiddes and released theatrically by Paramount Pictures on June 5, 2026, following its premiere in Los Angeles on June 3. This sixth installment marks a major reunion for the franchise, bringing back the Wayans family (Marlon, Shawn, Keenen Ivory, and Craig) as writers for the first time since their departure in 2001, and stars Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall. The plot sees Cindy Campbell and her friends reuniting when the original Ghostface, Doofy Gilmore, resurfaces to attack their children in a "rebootquel" twist, forcing the legacy characters to confront a new generation of killers. Despite being largely panned by critics, the film was a massive commercial success, grossing $231.4 million against a $30 million budget—making it the second-highest-grossing entry in the series after the original. The movie is packed with wild gags, including a K-Pop style animated sequence, a celebrity cameo death by Kai Cenat, and a shocking final twist where the supposed villains are betrayed by Anthony Anderson and Shaquille O'Neal in a climactic chain of reveals.
