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 Monday: I love being sooooo wrong about this Oscar win!
I was so excited to hear that my girl, Amy Madigan, got an Oscar nomination this year. Much to my surprise, she actually won last night for BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS! First, the show started way earlier than I thought it would so I missed the category entirely! But imagine my shock to find out that […]
