Scary Movie (film series)

Scary Movie is an American parody film series that mainly spoofs horror films and other popular culture. It began in 2000 with a film directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, which lampooned the slasher cycle, above all Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. A second Wayans-directed film followed in 2001, then David Zucker directed the third and fourth films in 2003 and 2006, and Malcolm D. Lee directed the fifth in 2013. A sixth film, financed by Miramax and distributed by Paramount Pictures, reunited the Wayans brothers and was released on 5 June 2026. The films have collectively grossed about one billion dollars at the box office, and the original is the highest-grossing entry. The series moved from Dimension Films to the Weinstein Company and back to Miramax.
