Wayans Family Reunites for Rapid-Fire Horror Spoof ‘Scary Movie 6’

The Wayans family has reunited for "Scary Movie 6," the latest chapter in the horror parody franchise. The film, directed by Michael Tiddes, features a script by multiple Wayans family members and Craig Wayans. It aims to spoof current and past horror movies, as well as topical events like ICE raids and the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef.

The movie's humor is described as cartoonish, topical, gross, profane, absurd, and occasionally hysterical. The plot loosely follows Ghostface from the "Scream" franchise hunting the original "Scary Movie" Core Four: Marlon Wayans' Shorty, Shawn Wayans' Ray, Anna Faris' Cindy, and Regina Hall's Brenda. The Core Four are now adults, with characters dealing with issues like alcoholism and cryptocurrency wealth.

We’ve got to save the franchise.

"Scary Movie 6" includes jokes about various pop culture figures and events, such as Kanye West, Ted Bundy, and DEI hires. It also features scatalogical humor and homophobic jokes. The film spoofs other horror movies like "Terrifier 3" and includes a callback to the "Wazzup!" sketch from over 25 years ago. The writers have incorporated references ranging from "The Jeffersons" to ChatGPT, reflecting a mix of generational humor.

It’s a horror movie. Ask Demi Moore.
