Scary Movie (2026)

Scary Movie is a 2026 comedy and horror parody directed by Michael Tiddes, returning the franchise to its signature style of spoofing contemporary horror movies and popular genre conventions. The story reunites Cindy, Brenda, Ray, and Shorty as they once again become targets of a masked killer, while the film turns its attention to reboots, legacy sequels, remakes, elevated horror, and other modern horror trends.

The film is built around the chemistry and comic timing of the original cast, with Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall returning to their iconic roles. The result is a deliberately nostalgic continuation that mixes familiar characters with new performers and jokes aimed at the changing landscape of horror cinema.

Produced by Paramount Pictures and Miramax, Scary Movie was released theatrically in the United States on June 5, 2026. The film runs approximately 96 minutes and carries an R rating for crude sexual content, graphic nudity, drug content, strong violence, and language.
