The return of the 90s/00s horror- from Scream to Scary Movie

The very first Scream movie came out in 1996 and four years later Scary Movie (2000) spoofed it. Scream 7 (2026) just opened with a franchise best $64 million domestically and about $97 million globally. It becomes one of the biggest openings of the year.
Now, Anna Faris and Regina Hall are back for the latest Scary Movie 6 (2026) which will come out June 12th. And they’re about to spoof it again.
Ghostface from Scream won’t be the only scary movie villain to appear in the upcoming Scary Movie 6 though. The Wayans brothers had 18 years to gather material for this new movie and boy, they did! They’ll also spoof: Weapons (2025), Get Out (2017), the M3gan movies, Sinners (2025), Final Destination: Bloodlines (2024), Smile (2022), Longlegs (2024), The Substance (2024), the Terrifier movies, and I’m sure I missed a few. You’ll also see Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise (or Ed Gein- the Leatherface inspiration- depending how deep in horror lore we’re talking).
The trailer for Scary Movie 6 is officially out but definitely not safe for work or for the easily offended (which is exactly what fans of the franchise would expect). I’m willing to bet when it comes out, it’ll set some records, too.

Movie Review: Roofman
I’m going to start out by saying that I love Channing Tatum, so I’m completely biased. COMPLETELY. That being said, aside from my admiration, he is a really good actor. And don’t scoff at that…. he is! He has range. He can ham it up in slapstick comedy movies like 21 Jump Street (2012), dance […]
